Sheer coincidence. Nothing to see here, no 'there there' moment to be had. Move along.

Carney's standard line should be. "Really!!! We have no idea what's going on outside the oval office. That's all we pay attention to. Can't you tell?"

No but he may not want to face the Senate, many of whom will have to run in 2014, in an impeachment hearing. The house moves to impeach but the senate actually tries the impeachment. That's the only place left he has a majority.

WJF Wrote: 1 hour ago (8:36 PM) "Could Barack Obama pardon Kermit Gosnell? To my knowledge the sitting President can pardon anyone convicted of anything and does not have to even give a reason." By the broadest powers granted by the constitution he could very well do just that. This would be a risky move at any point in anyone's presidency but given all that's going on with Obama and his administration he won't do it.

The spin on this is going to the tried and true, "Let's not rush to judgement". Frighteningly enough if the higher ups of this administration, including the prez, came out and said they did this because they're aware of a 'vast right wing conspiracy' to unseat them the loyal minions will follow. I imagine Joe Biden is rehearsing , "I do hereby pardon, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Eric Holder." "I'm appointing Nancy Pelosi the new Vice President.", just in case.

It's all being done by lowlife, I meant low level, employees. No one in higher levels of office did anything that couldn't be spun by (im)plausible deny-ability.

Nixon would be insulted by the reference.

They don't prevent accidents entirely, but what's such a big deal about putting restrictions on automatic weapons which are even more deadly?" " I'm an army vet and a gun owner. Not all gun owners agree with the NRA" There are restrictions on automatic weapons and they're pretty extreme. Perhaps you're referring to semi-automatic weapons. Since the NRA only has 5 million members out of a population of gun owners estimated between 60 to 100 million in the USA the NRA is a minority population. Lost in the regulation argument is the fact that for everything that is and was proposed, school security provisions are nearly non-existent.

Agreed! The registered voters who staged a no-show really let everyone know what they were thinking now didn't they? When the vote tally is taken, where the votes went is generally an indication of what people are voting for, or at least against. When no vote is cast the only opinion that can be drawn is, "I really don't care much one way or another."

The truth will come out this Sunday on the 'news' shows. The talking points were revised because the Special Forces that could have been dispatched to Libya were actually busy rescuing Hillary who was dodging bullets in Bosnia on the night of the attack. She was there on a secret diplomatic mission and it was a matter of urgent national security that it remained undisclosed.

Actually they wanted to do it in protest of an anti-Castro 8mm 'home movie' that was going around. There was no terrorist intention on their part.
