57. saw him this morning on NBC Today show

Thu Nov 15, 2012, 07:34 PM

Nov 2012

He kept saying "4 Americans died, we need answers. . ." about bengazi. I wished Matt Lauer would say "why werent you this indignant after 9/11?".

Next they moved to Rice's confirmation hearings where Pappa McMurf said "She lied to America" and Lauer asked back "What about Condelezza Rice saying Iraq would have a mushroom cloud if we dont do something based on wrong information" and McCain said that its okay that Condie Lied because everyone in the world was spouting the same lies.

Next he went into the lie that Obama never called bengazi a terrorist attack. Like the semantics make any difference. He forgot to add that Obama said it would be investigated and the people perputrating the event would be taken care of. That whole "obama is softe cause he used the wrong words" is a ridiculous spin.

Whether the attack was spontaneous or planned, it is being investigated and it ALREADY happened. Focusing on WHY it happend doesn't change that it happened and it wont change the future cause now we are wasting money on these crazed hearings instead of budgeting more money for security at the embassies...its frutstrating.
