Obama channels OJ
ROS sends us a link to Jake Tapper’s report of the president’s appearance on MSNBC’s Morning Joe in which he says he’s going to find the real killer…er…hes going to find out who is responsible for the four deaths in Benghazi on September 11th.
In an interview that aired today, President Obama said that “if we find out that there was a big breakdown and somebody didn’t do their job” regarding the attack on the U.S. outposts in Benghazi, Libya, “then they’ll be held responsible.”
Well, we can do that ourselves, Mr President, next Tuesday.
The president said that he took offense “to some suggestion that, you know, in any way we haven’t tried to make sure the American people knew as information was coming in what we believed happened.”
Was the intelligence community giving the president bad information? “Well, that’s what we’re going to find out from the investigation,” the president said. “But the truth is across the board when this happened my number one priority was to secure Americans, find out what happened and bring those folks to justice.”
So, I guess he’ll be accompanying OJ Simpson on his search of every golf course in the country for the “real killers”. He goes on to say that as the commander-in-chief that he’s ultimately responsible, but I don’t think he knows what that means. If he is ultimately responsible, why is he still blaming someone else like the intelligence community who he claims gave him bad information. Especially when he was watching the event unfold in real time. I guess he’s going to blame his lyin’ eyes.

If the story does not fit……
You must acquit!!!!
“Well, we can do that ourselves, Mr President, next Tuesday.”
What I was thinking.
I don’t know if I’ve ever felt more…I guess, ‘pleased’… about voting than this year. I am really, REALLY looking forward to Tuesday.
“what we believe happened”. That’s just it, nothing they “believe” is based in reality.
And if he says “folks” one more goddam time…………
“He goes on to say that as the commander-in-chief that he’s ultimately responsible, but I don’t think he knows what that means.”
It means the same thing for this Democrat that it meant for Janet Reno, nothing. Zero accountability for your responsibility is the Democrat modus operandi. Being responsible means never having to lose your job in Democrat land….except in this case the electorate might just have something to say about it.
Are those verbatim quotes?
If they are, take a moment to read this for comprehension:
“in any way we haven’t tried to make sure the American people knew as information was coming in what we believed happened.”
You know, I may take a little time to think about what I want to post, but it’s only because I want to be clear.
But this verbal diarrhea from the JiC is disturbing in a couple of ways: A) he’s in a mindset that is beginnig to unravel, so he rambles; or B) he is beginning to unravel and is trying to cover it with drivel. He went to Columbia and Harvard? Seriously? How the hell did he pass writtena and oral exams with this babble-speak? Somebody tell me, please.
I think this is an early indicator that things are not ‘going well’ at the Big House in DC. This speech pattern is scrambling for cover. It is almost disoriented. It is rambling and babbling. There are clear signs in just that qutoe that things are coming undone.
(Note to Pop: despite your boozing and volatile temper, I want to take a minute to thank you for pounding “be clear in what you say to people” into me at the dinner table.)
Well, if he does join OJ, I’m good with that. OJ is doing big time. I agree that he does not know what accepting responsibility means, other than the meaning VOV attached to it: zip. At some point in our recent history, it somehow became enough for some politicians to acknowledge their responsibility but pass on consequences. I don’t expect them to pull a Japanese shame atonement action but it is laughable that they get to say “It was my responsibility” and then have another slice of pie.
He’s always been like that, but his teleprompter has saved his ass. I competed in extemporaneous speaking through high school and college, and his verbal assaults offend me. I’ve urges to sew his mouth shut with every “uh, uh, uh” he utters.
I’ll get the needles, ROS, you get thread.
@7,8, I’m pretty sure that my wife will loan you her sewing machine.
November 6th get the hell out and Vote, drag your neighbors out as well!!
Need to question VJ under oath…
Barry does and says nothing without approval by Valerie Jarrett – she sets the daily agenda and policy decisions. Poor BO has inept people, leadership, management, negotiation, and decision making skills.
Democratic pundits have long accused Karl Rove of being Dubya’s brain – Obama/VJ duo has Bush/Rove beat here by long country mile.
Dev, you assume that an oath would mean anything to Jarret or this crowd of pathological liars.
And, you’re correct, VJ is Obama’s brain.
The cynicism of the POTUS’s remarks is outrageous. Even King Ahab had the dignity to cast aside pretense when he engaged in evil.
@11, Valerie Jarrett’s stink is all over this fecal sandwich of a decision.
“The president said that he took offense ‘to some suggestion that, you know, in any way we haven’t tried to make sure the American people knew as information was coming in what we believed happened.'”
Not nearly as offended as I am that our President could be capable, and it appears guilty, of withholding this sort of information.
“But the truth is across the board when this happened my number one priority was to secure Americans, find out what happened and bring those folks to justice.”
So concerned about it, he was, he immediately hopped up and rushed out to Vegas and held a fund-raising event.
As far as getting VJ under oath and testifying…meh. BO can just claim privilege and shut the whole thing down.
Much as it offends me to have to think this, I’m suspecting BO is relieved at the appearance of Sandy. Anything to attempt to move the focus away from the mishandling of Benghazi.
@15
As far as Benghazi attention, speaking strictly TV media – only FNC is covering the scandal wall to wall…BO is barely getting even getting token pressure from rest of other networks. If there ever was unified effort from all major media outlets to investigate…Barry might have nervous breakdown. Also, Jay Carney hasn’t had a presser since 10 Oct – imagine a Republican administration trying to pull that off.
I don’t think Obama team is happy about hurricane Sandy -they’ve had to suspend precious campaign days, and my feeling is BO knows he is behind and needs to make up ground quick. Gallup has him trailing 51 to 46 nationally, and Rasmussen has BO trailing in Florida, Virginia, Ohio, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Colorado & tied in Iowa and Wisconsin. Rasmussen btw was probably most accurate pollster in 2008 general election.
Think for just one second aboutwhat could happen, should VJ suddenly drop in her tracks?
Can a former president still be impeached? Because even if he’s voted out, he still needs to be held accountable for his multiple failures regarding the Benghazi attack.
@16 Romney is now ahead in CO. There was also a report about our absentee ballots… far more have been returned so far than in 2008, probably because we can now use email, which helps those overseas immensely. The Republican percentage of those returned is in the lead.
@17
We’d have President Biden because Obama’s neck would snap.
Devtun, unfortunately the lead Romney has in Ohio is two points which is within the margin of error.
IMO, the polls are minimizing Romney’s lead and maximizing the gap in those states where it’s close, but Obama “leads”. They have been oversampling Dems, sometimes greater than the historic 2008 Dem turnout. I won’t breathe easy until it’s all over and the EC votes Romney as the next president, but I’m definitely feeling positive…
I’m half expecting that he wants to appoint a Secretary of Finding Out Exactly What Happened in Libya.
This president has not one dam bit of any leadreship trait in his entire body, but he will lie and bullshit you into beliving he does. So its up too you if you know the differance between truth and bullshit spued from the mouth of a layer who sued the government for the poor to get his millions. Time he get held to the standard od being the CIC
Lemme help, Barry; “WE NEED SOME HELP, WE’RE BEING SHOT AT!” {Sent, I might add, in real time to DC.}
What other information do you need?
Being the unoriginal buggers they are, I expect they’re trying to ape the genuine problem Bush had back in ’02, when it turned out a fair amount of our original intel really was bad.
