Bombshell: Benghazi Targets
Painted, Air Support Overhead – Obama Calls Off Strike
In
piecing together the details of the Benghazi attack up the U.S. consulate, it
is becoming clear that there were U.S.
Special Operations forces on the ground, at least two drones overhead and lasers being used to paint at least
one target. The question then becomes, if
these things were in place for a strike against attackers, who called it off?
There can only be one answer, the
commander-in-chief Barack Obama. This went
on for four hours and the White House was able to watch this all take place
live. Two drones were above recording what was taking place and it seems
one was called in to relieve the other, presumably because of fuel issues. There is also the issue of the former Navy
SEAL Tyrone Woods and a small team that ignored orders to stand down after they
requested permission to go and help. All of this was responded to by
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta on Thursday. He said, “The U.S. military did not
get involved during the attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya, last
month because officials did not have enough information about what was going
on before the attack was over.” Just how
much information did you need? The White House had emails. They had forces on
the ground, drones overhead, a live feed, painted targets. For four hours
nothing was done while the consulate was attacked. There was a Special Operations team operating in
Central Europe that could have been called upon, but weren’t, and could have
flown there in less than two hours. But none of this was done. It is
looking more and more as though this was not only a planned attack, but also
that either the
White House was either negligent and irresponsible in their “non-response” or
complicit.
Obama Incriminated in Benghazi
Central Intelligence Agency director
David Petraeus has emphatically denied that he or anyone else at the CIA
refused assistance to the former Navy SEALs who requested it three times as
terrorists attacked the U.S. consulate in Benghazi on the night of Sep. 11. The Weekly Standard and ABC News
report that Petraeus’s denial
effectively implicates President Barack Obama, since a refusal to assist “would
have been a presidential decision.” Earlier today, Denver local reporter
Kyle Clarke of KUSA-TV did what the national media largely refuses to do,
asking Obama directly whether the Americans in Benghazi were denied requests
for aid. Obama dodged the question, but implied that he had known about the
attacks as they were “happening.” Emails released earlier this week indicated
that the White House had been informed almost immediately that a terror group
had taken responsibility for the attack in Benghazi, and Fox News reported this
morning that the two former Navy SEALs, Ty Woods and Glen Doherty, had been
refused in requests for assistance they had made from the CIA annex.

Gallup:
Romney Now Up by 5 Over Obama
Republican
presidential candidate Mitt Romney has increased his lead over President Barack
Obama to 5 points among likely voters in the latest Gallup Daily Tracking Poll.
The former Massachusetts governor now leads Obama, 51 percent to 46 percent, according to the latest survey of 2,700
likely voters conducted Oct. 19-25. That’s up 2 points from Romney’s lead on
Wednesday – and it’s even with the former Massachusetts governor’s lead on
Tuesday, the day after his final debate with the president at Lynn University
in Boca Raton, Fla. But among registered voters, the presidential race is a
dead heat, at 48 percent each, according to the polling firm. Gallup is now calling the race a dead heat.

Petraeus
Throws Obama Under the Bus
Breaking
news on Benghazi: the CIA spokesman, presumably at the direction of CIA
director David Petraeus, has put out this statement: “No one at any level in the CIA told anybody not to help those in need;
claims to the contrary are simply inaccurate. ” So who in the government did tell “anybody” not to help those in
need? Someone decided not to send in
military assets to help those Agency operators. Would the secretary of defense make such a decision on his own? No.
It would have been a presidential decision. There was presumably a rationale for such a decision. What was it? When
and why—and based on whose counsel obtained in what meetings or
conversations—did President Obama decide against sending in military assets to
help the Americans in need?

Oh,
Ladies: Obama voted “present” on protecting rape victims in ’99 state Senate
vote
In
a 1999 legislative vote, then-Illinois State Senator Barack Obama was the sole state senator to not vote for a bill
that would protect sexual assault victims from having the details of their
cases revealed publicly. On May 11 of
that year, Obama voted “present” on a bill, ultimately made law, that
allows victims of sex crimes to request that their cases be sealed from public
view following a criminal conviction. Illinois Senate voting records show that
Obama was the only senator who did not vote in favor of the bill. Obama’s unique objection to voting for a
bill meant to protect victims of sex crimes is a substantial departure from the
picture he has attempted to paint for women voters.

We've got a major problem....
In just a few days, National Geographic Channel will begin broadcasting
"Seal Team Six: The Raid on Osama Bin Laden," even after reporting by
the New York Times and other media outlets disclosed that the timing
and editing of the film by Obama mega-donor and Hollywood liberal Harvey
Weinstein were orchestrated to use the heroic work of U.S. Special Operations
Forces to promote President Obama's re-election. OPSEC's not going
take this sitting down. It's truly sad that once again, Special Forces
operations are being used as a political pawn to win votes for Obama's
reelection....not to mention the further leaks of tactics and methods that will
further jeopardize future missions against Al Qaeda. National
Geographic's Channel own President even admitted that, "that some
people were suspicious of the film's intentions."

I
watch a number of different news programs as they all seem to have a different
vent on the same story and issues. However one thing is perfectly clear,
most of the main stream news networks and reporters are very liberal and bias
their news to favor Obama and Democrats. Fox News seems to be the only
major network that begins to report from a conservative side and often favors
Republicans, but not always.
Interestingly,
MRC TV showed up at an Obama rally held at George Mason University in Virginia
and asked the Obama supporters standing in line who they go to to get their
news. The top three news people cited were Rachel Maddow, Jon Stewart and
Bill Maher. A number of them stated that they do NOT turn to Fox
News. The main reasons these
Obama supporters listed these three individuals is because they believe they
are honest and tell all of the facts. They believe that a flaming lesbian
gay rights activist and two stand-up comedians are trustworthy, honest and tell
the whole story. Really?

Over
$60,000 in Welfare Spent Per Household in Poverty •
By DANIEL HALPER
New
data compiled by the Republican side of the Senate Budget Committee shows that,
last year, the United States spent over $60,000 to support welfare programs per
each household that is in poverty. The calculations are based on data from the
Census, the Office of Management and Budget, and the Congressional Research
Services. "According to the Census’s American Community Survey, the number
of households with incomes below the poverty line in 2011 was 16,807,795,"
the Senate Budget Committee notes. "If you divide total federal and state
spending by the number of households with incomes below the poverty line, the
average spending per household in poverty was $61,194 in 2011." This
dollar figure is almost three times the amount the average household on poverty
lives on per year. "If the spending on these programs were converted into
cash, and distributed exclusively to the nation’s households below the poverty
line, this cash amount would be over 2.5 times the federal poverty threshold
for a family of four, which in 2011 was $22,350 (see table in this link),"
the Republicans on the Senate Budget Committee note. To be clear, not all
households living below the poverty line receive $61,194 worth of assistance
per year. After all, many above the poverty line also receive benefits from
social welfare programs (e.g. Pell grants).

It
is not Just Obama; it is his 43 Czars too! by David L.
Goetsch
In
addition to the Cabinet and his army of presidential assistants, junior
assistants, and secretaries, Barack Obama also has a record number of czars on
his staff—43 as of this writing. In his book Presidential Perks Gone Royal, Robert
Keith Gray writes: “…the czars
constitute a shadow government serving at the pleasure of the president,
answerable only to him. A government over which the people and their
representatives have no control? In our treasured democracy? Sounds dangerously
close to the government of the king of an eastern country or Venezuela’s
Chavez.” No executive in the world has more administrative and policy
support than the president of the United States. In addition to the
President’s Cabinet, Barack Obama has a personal staff of 469 assistants to the
president—a record number—almost all of whom are paid more than $100,000 per
year. In addition to this figure, factor in the cost of the benefits,
staffs, and offices for 469 presidential assistants. With that done, consider
that there is an army of junior presidential assistants supporting the
presidential assistants and another army of and secretaries supporting the
junior assistants. All of these staffers—taken together—support the president.
That’s a lot of support. It is also a lot of money to spend during a time
of high unemployment, record-breaking budget deficits, and an anemic economy.
With the largest personal staff in the history of the presidency, one would
think Barack Obama had all the help he could possibly need, but apparently this
is not the case.

Obama:
‘Absolutely’ No Regrets For Ignoring Economy for First Two Years
The
Obama campaign has finally released the transcript of his endorsement interview
with the Des Moines Register–and it is clear why they were reluctant to do so:
the President says he has “absolutely” no regrets about ignoring the economy.
Des Moines Register: Do you have any regrets that you didn’t do that at that
time? THE
PRESIDENT: Absolutely not, Laura. Remember the context. First of all, Mitch
McConnell has imposed an ironclad filibuster from the first day I was in
office. And that’s not speculation. I mean, this is — it’s amply recorded. He
gave a speech saying, my task is to defeat the President.
So we were able to
pass emergency action with the stimulus, but we had to get two votes from
Republicans… Obama’s response is misleading. Republicans made no such filibuster threat
at the outset of his first term. He refers to remarks made by Senate Minority
Leader Mitch McConnell in late 2010, not in late 2008 or early 2009.
Republicans made no such threat, and in fact attempted to work together with
the then-popular Obama. Or more lying, you decide!

8,803,335:
Another New Record for Disability—Up 975 Per Day Under Obama By
Terence P. Jeffrey
The
number of American workers collecting federal disability insurance benefits hit
yet another record high in October, according to the Social Security
Administration. This month
8,803,335 disabled workers are collecting benefits, up from the previous record
of 8,786,049 set in September. In
February 2009, the first full month after President Barack Obama took office,
there were 7,469,240 workers collecting federal disability insurance. Thus, so
far in Obama’s term, the number of workers collecting disability has increased
by 1,334,095. That works out to a net increase of about 29,646 per month
(1,334,095 divided by 45 months), or an
average increase of about 975 per day (1,334,095 divided by 1,369 days).
