Hillary's defining moment was the night of Benghazi. There is no way that troops were not sent because they could not get there in time - no one knew how long the attack would last. If Hillary had crossed Obama and said, "send help, or I am going to the newspapers in the morning and blowing the lid off this," she would have demonstrated true courage and the ethics and leadership needed to be president. She didn't.

Our federal government has become a Police State under Obama. We have one set of rules for Obama Supporters and another set of rules for everyone else. We use all kinds of taxpayer money for Obama Supporters and everyone else gets an Income Tax audit. And don’t kid yourself, he and his inner circle, Valerie Jarrett, David Axelrod, Jack Lew, David Plouffe, Eric Holder, … monitor even the smallest political items. They know.

Obama can't explain Benghazi, the IRS scandal, the AP records, Susan Rice, Tripoli, Fast and Furious, ... because he would be in jail. He knew all about them and ordered them through Valerie Jarrett or David Plouffe, David Axelrod, Eric Holder, Hillary Clinton ... How can he explain that ? He has to pretend ignorance. Just like with Marion Barry, Charlie Rangel, etc. his supporters will ignore it.

Comparing Obama to Richard Nixon is unfair to Richard Nixon. Nixon's biggest offense was trying to cover up a third rate burglary he originally knew nothing about, nobody died. Nixon would never dream of refusing military support to Benghazi letting 4 staff people die. Nixon would never grab hundreds of phone records on AP reporters, or order IRS audits on people who did not agree with him, or close the White House to tours, or sell automatic rifles to drug dealers, or purposely screw up the air traffic control system to delay planes, or spend nearly a $Trillion uselessly, or run our debt up to $17 trillion, or pretend the budget can be balanced by "just asking the rich to do a little bit more. " And this only scratches the surface.

But they still insist that this endangered butterfly still exists in there somewhere or will return. The biggest threat to the Karner Blue Butterfly is the environmentalists, assuming there is a Karner Blue Butterfly.

Large stretches of land around us are off limits to anything but hiking, which itself is prevented because anyone who makes it back is covered in deer ticks. Our major "endangered species" is the Karner Blue Butterfly which no one has ever seen except one environmental group. They refuse to show anyone a captured Karner Blue Butterfly because they claim this will further reduce their population, so we are forced to take their word for its existence. A few years ago this group insisted on a "controlled burn" to supposedly rid the forest of underbrush and strengthen it with new growth. They scheduled the burn for a state holiday when many college students and public employees could volunteer. They burned the whole forest down .

People in Congress have no sense of financial responsibility; they never feel that their spending must be paid for; they feel it can just be borrowed. We need a tighter control on the debt limit and the budget. Unfortunately even Republican Presidents ran deficits which caused the party to lose its identity. They became the "other Democrats." Also unfortunately, politicians (and other public employees) do not feel that they seerve the public and it is their job to run the country efficientlly. More and more they feel that getting elected is more akin to winning the lottery; an opportunity to rip off the public.

Prior to 1965 when Republican Governor Nelson Rockefeller enacted the Pure Waters Program in New York, only a few major cities had sewage treatment plants which were usually Imhoff tanks that were basically useless. Smaller cities, towns, villages and businesses discharged raw sweage. In 1972 Republican President Richard Nixon passed the Clean Waters Act together with the Clean Air Act and the feds followed NY in building secondary or tertiary sewage treatment on every sewage diacharge into every watercourse. There was tremendous improvement. As the environment cleaned up, these nut case "environmentalists" did not want to lose their contributions and government funding, and they created Acid Rain, Depletion of the Ozone Layer, Glob

Maxine coule not balance a checkbook if her life depended on it, let alone the federal budget. Maybe she could substitute Marion Barry who is still a city councilman in Washington. That way the Black and Minourity Caucus could still control the budget.

Why the hang up with chemical weapons ? Just a change in the breeze and the wrong army takes the hit. Blowing up the other guys with a large caliber machine gun mounted on the back of a pick up truck is much more effective.
