This is just another slight jab at Barack. If they didn't want Barack to win a second term. Do you really think they would have wanted the first woman President to be successful in her first term? They would have been the party of NO in overdrive.

Paul you lost. Regroup and try again in 4 years. But nobody likes a sore loser.

Ryan is being honest it has been a bi partisan cluster f*** that has got us into this mess. And to get out of it is going to take both parties working together and some give and take. He is also right about Clinton who no doubt was drove to the center by {R} control in both chambers. Clinton was still able to get bi partisan support on legislation, both parties supported Nafta and welfare reform, etc,etc.

That's the thing...all of this outpouring of love by Republicans for Clinton is a joke. They're only doing it because Obama kicked their patooties...they can't stand Hillary Clinton. Never could.

Trust me, if Hillary Clinton had won, they'd be treating her just as bad if not worse than they treat Obama.

I guess Repubs thing that we've all forgotten the years between 1992-2000 when their anti-Clinton hate was at fever pitch.

But now they love Hillary, huh? LMAO...yea, right.

It was in the midst of a civil war, ya think maybe someone should've sensed a need for increased security?
In fact, only a few months before the Lebanon bombing, we had an embassy attack in Beirut that killed 17 Americans, and 63 people overall. Reagan did nothing.

But of course, Conservatives have short memories.

Who cares about conjecture from paul Ryan? He is clearly pretty incapable of understanding economics and economies. People seem to forget than when a rpevious president writes a check, it still must be covered... Medicare Part D, Iraq war, TARP and so forth... Not even the Clintons could have fixed this mess. Our best chance of dealing with the debt will be to do away with the Fed. otherwise there is no hope to resolve it.

Must be why their favorite (and most acceptable) excuse for malfeasance is "Well, I don't remember"

This is all you have? I really don't remember what they blamed it on, but I'm sure they blamed it on something. I doubt highly that they simply said "you've got us, we stood by and let civilians die, yes we did". And, I'll admit, I wasn't paying real close attention when the Benghazi thing broke but I do know that in the bruhah which followed, sound bites were aired of Obama calling the attack, a terror attack. The people who blamed the attack on the video were not Obama. They were not authorized by Obama to air that particular theory. DOES IT REALLY MATTER??? Some people say 9/11 was because Islam hates the fact that American women walk around with their arms bare. Osama Bin Laden said the attack was because America supports Israel, defends Israel and advocates for Israel. I'm inclined to believe the latter but it hardly matters what the reason was, does it?? 3.5K people were killed in a single act of terrorism. Republicans want to make Benghazi into a crime of negligence so they can bring about impeachment proceedings... even if you could get rid of Obama that way... what would you do about Biden? When, and if, Republicans learn SHAME, that will be when the brand starts to recover its lost prestige. When Republicans learn that winning (attempting to win) by sabotaging the game, is a failed strategy at best, there might be hope for future Republican candidates. Me, I hope they never learn...
