Accusing me of "phony outrage" ? LOL..you're the one who seems to be upset over questioning Obama's whereabouts that night.
Oh, I'm just enjoying the GOP hyperpartisan posturing and deep hypocrisy over this whole thing.

Watching congressional hearings are less interesting than watching paint dry.

Answer the questions and if you are right and if Hillary is not at fault then it will not be an issue in 2016.

What are Democrats afraid of? They believe Hillary and Obama did nothing wrong, if that is true I would think that this would be a good for Hillary.
Sure an opponent will bring it up. And she will chew them up and spit them out.

Obama will support Hillary and if Obama supports Hillary, so will his followers and they will vote the way he tells them to vote.

And I'm watching and seeing how the tables turn depending on which party is sitting in the Oval Office.
Like I said..what's good for the goose is also good for the gander.

People are apathetic, not sick of it. They don't care. They want their Judge Judy instead.
People are not interested in seeing the 5th repetition of the same hearing. Trust me, if people thought this was as big as Watergate, they would be glued to their TVs and it would be on every channel non-stop, but this is not Watergate. You wish it was, and you are disappointed that it is not.

I noticed Chris Cristy hugging Obama and shaking his had when he was in NJ after the storm. Bush showed up three days too late and told "Brownie" the ex Arabian horse specialist/auctionaire that he was doing a good job.

The fact is we had four dead Americans. Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night decided to go kill some Americans? What difference does it make?

They will need Candy Crawley. And yes you are right, that is the deal between Hillary and Obama. There was supposed to be a backroom deal where Clinton promoted Obama in 2012 and Obama will do the same for Hillary.

Consulate vs CIA base. Are they the same ?
Can I go to a CIA base and get consular services ?
I'm not making up anything, it was an honest question. I've heard many reports calling it a consulate, and not just on Fox but on CBS and ABC as well. No need to get snippy about it. Sheesh!

So Rice just used any old "talking points" after a situation like this? Are you kidding me?
So you think the U.N. Ambassador is suppose to run her own investigation? That she should be running around collecting the first hand accounts. I think it was ludicrous that assertion was even made at yesterday's hearing. It just shows the partisan nature of the hearings.

The CIA was asked to produce talking points in the days following the attack, not just for Rice, but for others who would be speaking about the events. Including members of congress. Rice's comments on the 5 Sunday talk shows align very closely with the CIA talking points both in language and content.

So they were not just any old talking points, they were talking points specifically developed by the CIA for people who would be talking about the issue.

And you and entire left are not interested in finding out the truth why 4 Americans were killed----says a lot about you and the left's character!
