She knew that even before we did.

It depends on what the definition of "is" is.

I don't do that with those I support
No, not blind allegiance on my part but blind partisonship on the part of the individual that doesn't believe anything the President says. If you start from that premise then I have nothing to say to you. When you present clear substantiated evidence of a lie, I'll listen but your statements of propaganda and opinion are worthless.

It's amazing that people that claim that they covet the truth so much would vote for Mitt freaking Romney

Exactly. Obama thinks that we all just bow and worship at his feet. Well, he isn't a King, even if he wants to be.

I'm in Linsay Graham's camp. He told Obama off today, and I loved it! Obama thinks he is above the law.

We need to block everything he puts forth. We have the power of the purse. And if Boehner doesn't have the backbone, he should step down. Personally, I think Paul Ryan would be a great Speaker. And he wouldn't take Obama's crap!

He's a pro at not answering direct questions.
It's apprarent to all that he has not answered them but he continues to do it.

If he's called on it those that do so are ridiculed.

Truth and honesty are no longer valued by many.

This is just...silly.

You want someone that thinks and doesn't speak about things she doesn't know about? She did know about it to a point. Beyond that, there are few people at the level of speaking to the public who know all the nitty gritty details.

You do understand that most government officials that make statements and speeches, in any and every administration are briefed on the topic at hand, right? They don't check the information themselves. They don't have time to. And often times, while they know enough to talk knowledgeably, they are not experts on what they are speaking of. Other people, lower on the totem pole, are the experts.

Next comes dealing with the press. If they make a statement, it's already been written by other people.

Those people have first received clearance from the higher ups to say x, y or z. They have run said statement through the legal department and who knows how many other departments.

Before people crucify someone for statements made y'all need to first understand how the system works. What she did wasn't done maliciously or because she isn't intelligent or even because she didn't do her job.
