Smoke has been used to mask the movement of military units to disorient or drive off attackers. In politics smoke screens are something said or done in order to hide the truth. The Petraeus scandal with the smoke provided by the liberal main stream media has redirected attention away from the murders of Americans in Benghazi.
Scandal
The surprised resignation of CIA director David Petraeus and the sideshow it created was the perfect smoke screen this administration needed. The continuous revelations created the drama that keeps the loyal Obama audience entertained. It has the sex, drama, and the execution of a Hollywood production. The premise of the movie “Wag the Dog” a campaign spin doctor and a Hollywood film producer construct a fake war to divert attention away from a sex scandal. The press willingly plays along with the current scenario the tail is wagging the dog and the foolish masses are none the wiser. This time, a high level official sex-scandal smoke screen is distracting attention away from the murder of an American Ambassador. The only unknown is the name of the Hollywood producer.
Players
Victor Davis Hanson asked the questions on the mind of many conservatives: who are these women and where do they get their power? One question Mr. Hanson may have overlooked is to whom they owe loyalties and who gave the FBI the authority to investigate top government before the election? This Administration knew about the women and the general for months and had to authorize the investigations. Everything else reads like a well prepared script from “Law and Order “including the consensual midnight raid on a house of former CIA director Petraeus alleged mistress. Who writes this stuff?
Backbone
The President and Mrs. Clinton were behind Ambassador Susan Rice in her early effort to play off the Benghazi murders as a result of a YouTube video. She went on five Sunday morning talk show to protect Obama’s appeasement policy towards the Muslim Brotherhood. Obama has a tendency to hide behind the skirt of his mommy, or a substitute mommy to conceal his insecurities. When by Republican Senators threated to block the possible nomination of Ms. Rice to Secretary of State, Mr. Obama behaved like a child losing one of his favorite skirted shields, and challenged them. In a rare moment of clarity South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham sent a message to Obama “Mr. President, don’t think for one minute I don’t hold you ultimately responsible for Benghazi. I think you failed as Commander in Chief before, during, and after the attack.” Where was this backbone before the election?

THE HOSTESS COMPANY IS 82 YEARS OLD. THEY
OBVIOUSLY KNEW HOW TO RUN AND SUCCESSFULLY
EXPAND A PROFITABLE BUSINESS.
OBVIOUSLY IN THIS TIME FRAME THERE WOULD BE
FREQUENT IMPROVEMENTS AND STAFF MODIFICATIONS.
AS A RESULT OF RECENT AND RELENTLESS ATTACKS
BY THE UNIONS HOSTESS NOW HAS BEEN FORCED OUT
OF BUSINESS.
ITS A NATIONAL LOSS FOR HOSTESS,THEIR STAFF,
ALL OF WHOM ARE NOW JOBLESS, AND AMERICA.
THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN OF WHAT IS HAPPENING
TO SMALL AND LARGER BUSINESSES IN THE UNITED
STATES AS A RESULT OF THE LAST FOUR YEARS OF
POOR OUR WORSE GOVERNMENT LEADERSHIP.
What has America become?
Has America become the land of special interest and home of the
double standard? Let’s see: If we lie to the Congress, it’s a felony
and if Congress lies to us it’s just politics. If we dislike a black person,
we’re a racist and if a black dislikes whites, it’s their 1st Amendment
right. The government spends millions to rehabilitate criminals and
they do almost nothing for the victims. In public schools you can teach
that homosexuality and lesbianism is ok, but you better not use the
word God in the process. You can murder a child in the mothers womb,
but it’s wrong to execute a mass murderer. We don’t burn books in
America, we now rewrite them. We got rid of the communist & socialist
threat by renaming them progressives. If you protest against Obama’s
policies you’re a terrorist, but if you burn an American flag or George
Bush in effigy, it’s your 1st Amendment right.
You can have pornography on TV or the internet, but you better not
put a nativity scene in a public park during Christmas. In America,
criminals are now called sick people. The government takes money
from those who work hard & gives it to those who are lazy. Parenting
has been replaced with Ritalin & video games. The land of opportunity
is now the land of hand outs.
And how do we handle a major crisis today? The Government
appoints a committee to determine who’s at fault, then threatens
them, passes a law, raises our taxes, then tells us the problem is
solved so they can get back to their reelection campaign.
