2012 U.S. Presidential Election

By the way I noticed you did not mention the House hearing yesterday on Benguazi.

I didn't care.

Edit: Tell you what, Roy, when Boehner grows enough of a spine to demand Clinton's resignation, THEN I'll care.

Why should it be up to Boehner, shouldn't it be Obama that demands it? Does Boehner have to do the President's job for him?

Because the House is in charge of this investigation, and he's the House Speaker!

And off the record, IMOHO, because the House is looking for every reason to discredit the Obama Administration that they can possibly find.

Tell me, Roy, what role did Reagan play in punishing the ones involved in the Iran-Contra scandal? He was on vacation for most of the hearings, to make people think he wasn't concerned about it.

And Hillary serves at the pleasure of the President, not the House.

They do not need much, the Obama Administration is doing their best to discredit themselves in this.

Reagan did not have to, a federal court judge punished Oliver North for his crimes at the end of the day. Should Hillary go to jail as well for this?

[Dark Sage]

No, she shouldn't, but if the House feels that the Obama Administration did something seriously wrong, they should appoint an independent prosecutor to find out what happened...

(Shakes my head.)

They won't do that, now will they? Why? Because they remember the complete disaster that happened the last time they tried to do something like that, which made the GOP a laughingstock. Not a mistake they're gonna make a seond time.

How about the Obama Administration just take responsibility for their own actions? That they lied to the American people over and over again on TV, and they purposely had security levels lowered in the hopes of making Libya appear secure.

But Libya aside I believe we can both agree on that Obama's "Big Bird" attack reeks of desperation and patheticness.

He's not the one who's planning to cut the funding to PBS, Roy.

What the heck did they ever do to him?

When I heard that Romney was planning to do it, it reminded me of old cartoons where villains wanted to fight the PTA. The difference is, those cartoons were funny.
