Is it just me, or does it seem like the Obama administration is just falling apart? (Kerry, terror)

And yet I think the world is much less safe now than it was then. The Russians and Americans had enough nuclear power to destroy the Earth, tenfold, but that strength and the general rationality of the actors prevented it. Now we have what is basically a nuclear arms race in the third world, and I don't think those actors are always rational. Imagine nukes in the hands of the Taliban. Pakistan has them, and it's highly unstable with a lot of Taliban there. Iran would probably just use it to put the fear of God in their neighbors, but North Korea seems to be run by a crazy man now. It's much scarier now.
Very true, it is a very different time with a very different enemy and to say Osama Bin Laden is dead and we live in a safer world is ridiculous. They think very different than we do but Obama wanted us to think that he practically did away with terrorism. If we reduce our guard it will be open season on the U.S.
Does anyone remember just who is in charge and responsible for the executive branch? It sure doesn't look like Obama is. Between the lack of willingness to accept responsiblity, and the claims of ignorance of what happened during these events, I have to wonder who is running the show? He claims to know nothing of the IRS attacking conservative groups and claims they are an indepentant organization. Yet, they are a department of the Treasury, a direct report to the chief exectutive. With the spying and intimidation of the AP, he claims to learn of it on CNN...yet the Department of Justice is part of the executive branch. He claims ignorance about Benghazi, when the State Department is a part of the executive branch. I have to wonder...is the man just a bald-faced liar, or just that incompetant as a manager? Does he have any idea of what is happening in his areas of responsibiliy under his watch????
A. the AP situation was all about the AP leaking information about a spy program B. Benghazi is the conservatives tactic to try to discredit the president. Won't work, nice try C. the IRS specifically targeted MANY groups looking for non profit status, NOT just tea party groups, however those are the groups the conservatives will ONLY talk about. Looking for non profit status? Hell yeah they're going to be scrutinized more closely. How many groups or people could pop up lying saying that they're some non profit organization? People lie all the time. Anyway, all of this is nothing to get hysterical about but the conservatives are profoundly adept at becoming hysterical with their poutrage.
Wow, you are REALLY a talent. The Nixon White House sure could have used you.
You are kidding right? That proves the point that "disagree with the Obama and his agenda and you become a target".
They already control the media and Obama telling us to "reject those voices". Now the AP scandal, Think that through Northnut or are you ignorant to historical events.

No one knows where Obama was during Benghazi,
Does not know about the IRS targeting,
Spying on the AP but claims he does not know about it,
Just claim ignorance and the liberal media gives him a pass... it's that easy.
When someone rules with a heavy hand rather than logic and honesty, all it takes is one person standing up to them to cause a crash. I kept waiting to see it happen and really wondered if it would.
Nobody really likes a dictator but some bow to them in order to survive. Once the weakness shows, here comes the hounds. I think Benghazi is the undoing of this administration. You would never have heard of the other things if this hadn't taken hold. Most of the other things are the smokescreens this administration is throwing out there to try and get rid of Benghazi reporting.
As I heard yesterday, is he a bad person or a bad leader? I figured that out a long time ago. Good people do not make murdering babies easy. Good people do not even think it is all right to murder babies. It all starts with the basics. If you are faithful in the little things; you will also be faithful with the big things.
Either the low level employees in various departments are running the show (incompetently or dishonestly I might add) with no oversight or knowledge from superiors, which demonstrates their incompetence, or the superiors in many departments are lying and throwing the low-level staff under the bus. I don't know which it is or which is worse.
It's just you. Right-wing wishful thinking at its finest.
Btw, only 40% of Dems in Congress voted in favor of the miserable failure that was the Iraq War against virtually unanimous "yays" from the Republicans. Own your failure.
We WON the Iraq War. Saddam Hussein was captured, tried, and executed. Deal with it. Barack is losing the peace.
President George HW Bush pushed Saddam's army back behind its borders and President George W Bush finished him off.
