Bengahzi - The Lies Compund
Everyone knows by now that the White House Situation room was watching in real time as the terrorists attacked the Benghazi consulate for 9 hours.
Today comes reasoning from former SpecOps personnel that someone at the White House or AfricaCom called off a strike. Apparently Tyrone Woods (now dead Seal) was actively painting the mortar site with his laser designator, in expectation of an airstrike. This leads to two conclusions: Either the AC130 was on station and orbiting and ready to launch a missile. Or the orbiting drone was armed and able to strike. You don't paint a target until just before a launch because that gives away your location.
In Denver, Obama said "The minute I found out what was happening...I directed do what's necessary to protect our people" He knew. So did he actually give an order or did someone else change an order?
And the lies started on Sept 12. And 3 fine young men and an Ambassador were left behind. As well a 30 others.
See Judge Jeanine Pirro's interview with Charles Woods, Tyrone Woods' father.

Fast & Furious: Vince Cefalu Fired at Denny's
Fast & Furious Whistle Blower Fired For Speaking Out
Vince Cefalu, a now-former BATFE special agent, was unceremoniously fired recently. The termination was served to him in the parking lot of a Denny's. Cefalu was a key whistle blower in the Operation Fast and Furious scandal, and he says this lead directly to his dismissal, which he plans to challenge.

Fast & Furious: Presidential Debate #2 - Obama Avoids the Words
Tonight's debate was full of fire and controversy. The candidates provided the fire. The moderator, Candy Crowley provided the controversy. She allowed Obama to speak to at least four minutes longer than Romney and helped him achieve that extra time.
As for F&F, Mr. Romney skillfully inserted F&F into his answer to a direct audience question about gun control that was posed to Mr. Obama. The President stated for one of the first times that he would support a renewed assault weapons ban - but it is obvious he doesn't understand the implications of what that means. Mr. Romney said we have enough gun laws and what we need is better family circumstances to prevent people from turning to violence, via education and family upbringing. Then he turned the tables and blamed the Administration for the scandal of F&F. President Obama then built on Romney's response by also discussing education. But most telling was that he studiously avoided the words "Fast & Furious" and totally avoided any discussion of the scandal. Crowley let him ramble on for two minutes while avoiding the issue.
To me, he sounded like he was hiding something. He sounded scared of the whole subject. It would seem there is still a lot to be discovered about F&F and the White House's involvement.

Election Crimes: Is Obama's Team Persecuting Romney Supporters?
Wayne Allen Root yesterday on his blog:
I-am-on-obamas-enemies-list
Root declares that he is being persecuting by the IRS because he supports Romney and criticizes Obama.
Richard Nixon tried using the IRS to dissuade he opponents. That resulted in articles of impeachment being lodged against him by Congress.
On a similar note, there are allegations this week that the Obama Campaign is again accepting donations from persons outside the US who are not US citizens. As in 2008, that is still illegal.

Why Obama has Failed - 25 Reasons
1. Unemployment remains higher than when Obama took office. Real unemployment tops 14% as millions withdraw from the labor force. 23 million people are unemployed or underemployed.
2. The Affordable Care Act will cost twice as much as originally stated, according to the CBO. Now forecast at $2.6 trillion over ten years. And they gutted $812 Billion from Medicare to pay for it. It is really 2600 pages of tax rules and regulations designed to create a national system.
3. 20 million people will lose coverage as small business move from private plans to exchanges
4. Fast and Furious debacle/scandal - two American agents dead and 300 Mexicans dead - 2000 guns missing. An Attorney General who did nothing and found guilty by Congress of
5. Benghazi debacle as State and White House blow it on security planning - Ambassador and 3 others dead. Joe Biden uses the Bush excuse: Intelligence gave them the wrong info...
6. Solyndra and 11 more "green" companies go bust even with billions from DOE. Crony capitalism is alive and well in the White House.
7. Wind energy subsidies go to waste but political kickbacks alive and well.
8. Hillary Clinton advocates for a global income tax in conjunction with the UN.
9. Hillary Clinton supports UN Small Arms Treaty over objections of 75% of American Public and many members of Congress.
10. Obama and crew play the race card most every chance they get. He also plays the class warfare game incessantly.
11. Obama vilifies businesses every chance he gets - he says he supports them but his actions on taxes and regulations show he is playing class warfare.
12. Obama said he would cut deficit in half in his first term. Actuality is that deficits have been $1.1 to $1.4 Trillion each year of four years, with future years projected to be similar. And no plan to reduce.
13. Foreign affairs failures on Israel, Syria, Iran.
14. Policy of deciding winners and losers - GM, Solyndra, AIG, Fannie & Freddie, etc. Followed up by making huge public loans - some of which will never be paid back, some of which were - still bad policy.
15. Principle policy when caught in a lie or a failure: Throw someone under the bus. There is no acceptance of blame from Obama on down. A lack of character like this is not what people want. Today, Hillary
17. The stock market is back to where it started but the GDP is still at less than 2% growth, which is 1/2 to 1/3 of where it normally is 3 years after a recession ends.
18. Where is Obama's plan for the next 4 years? Here are some related questions: This-guy-has-some-town-hall-debate-questions-for-obama
19. Food stamp recipients have increased from about 24 million to 47 million. HHS openly advertises that people take advantage. Another entitlement in creation?
20. 5.5 Million homes are in crisis or foreclosure and still Fannie and Freddie get to print money and buy bad mortgages, without much progress in fixing the programs that are supposed to help.
21. There has been a $4500 average drop in household income in four years. The biggest drop ever.
22. Obama has spent almost $6 Trillion of new debt, with no plan in sight to stop.
23. The only tangible part of Obama's forward plan is the $1.9 Trillion in new taxes he wants to take from the rich. Of course he think the rich includes anyone over $250,000 and especially small businesses and S-corporation runs by individuals.
24. Gas prices have increased about 100% in four years, as Obama refuses new pipelines (Keystone XL), leasing in the GOM, leasing on public lands in the West and Alaska, and repressive regulations and slow approvals for oil and gas projects. Compare that to the amazing increasing in oil production in North Dakota where most drilling is on private lands.
25. Last but not least, a foreign policy with a large component that involves apologizing for much of what the United States stands for. Bowing to foreign heads-of-state is NOT acceptable!
26. Okay, 25 is not enough: Obama doesn't seem to really work at being a president. Just read his daily calendar - except when he is campaigning days are short, often starting at 9 or 10 AM and ending at 3 PM. Witness that he has attended only 40% of the daily security briefings presented by Staff and the Joint Chiefs.
27. Building on 26, Obama left the work of writing the ACA to Nancy Pelosi and others, all while saying that he was working toward a bi-partisan solution for health care. In the end, only Democrats voted for the ACA, no Republicans did. Other major entitlements like Medicare and Social Security enjoyed broad and deep bi-partisan support when they were passed.
28. The rate of regulation creation has quadrupled in the past four years.
29. Executive overreach (maybe even crimes) continues. Obama is bypassing Congress by using Executive Orders to accomplish what he can't get Congress to do: defacto amnesty for illegal foreign children; dismissal of case against clearly guilty Black Panthers for voter intimidation; ordering ATF to require reporting of multiple semi-auto rifle purchases in 5 border states; many more.
30. Obama appointed two Supreme Court judges who specifically lied during their confirmation hearings about the 2nd Amendment. Both said they would support the Constitution and both voted against it in the two most important gun rights cases in a century: Heller and MacDonald. Imagine a SC with more Obama appointees.
31. Obama and crew continue to violate the law. If sequestration happens because Congress doesn't stop the automatic budget cuts from happening, then about $50 Billion/year comes out of Defense. Thus people at companies like Northrup will get laid off. The law says if a company knows layoffs are coming, they must send notices 60 days in advance to employees. But Obama has told (via a guarantee letter) these companies not to send these letters and he will protect them from the consequences. A direct breaking of the law. Because? The letters would go out 2 days before the election.
32. Obama has nationalized the student loan industry. Loans outstanding have more than doubled to over $1 Trillion and the default rate has gone to 13%.
2. The Affordable Care Act will cost twice as much as originally stated, according to the CBO. Now forecast at $2.6 trillion over ten years. And they gutted $812 Billion from Medicare to pay for it. It is really 2600 pages of tax rules and regulations designed to create a national system.

Clinton said she is responsible for the security at State, (and I suppose then the blame for the Benghazi failure), but she lets people farther down the ladder handle that work. News flash Hillary: If you are responsible, there is no room for BUT. Let's see your resignation. (See Fast & Furious for the same reactions to being exposed.)
16. Obama's budgets have been roundly defeated in House and Senate by both Democrats and Republicans (about all they can agree on). Also, Obama's friends in the Senate haven't passed a budget in over 1200 days.17. The stock market is back to where it started but the GDP is still at less than 2% growth, which is 1/2 to 1/3 of where it normally is 3 years after a recession ends.

Fast & Furious: Another BCP Agent Killed in New Mexico
It is not known yet whether the death of Border Patrol Agent Nicholas Ivie, killed in a shootout near Naco, is another death attributable to F&F guns. Ivie's partner was also wounded. A third agent was not injured. There is no indication about recovered guns or brass.
See Desert News article: Border-Patrol-agent-shot-killed-on-patrol-in-Ariz
Two days ago Univision aired a report on F&F in which they asked many tough questions about F&F and its links to the White House. They also asked about similar operations conducted out of Texas and Florida Operation Castaway). The report discussed at length the deaths and damage done to Mexican citizens as a result of F&F guns getting into Mexico. They focused on the deaths of 16 teenagers which a Mexican Army report says involved F&F guns. These broader questions and concerns were not included in the ATF Inspector General's report released two weeks ago.
