Obama Sends 1500 troops back to Iraq

John,
“A GOP led investigative committee just released a report that put the Benghazi issue to rest. The brouhaha was a total Fox News fabrication.”

No. John, they could not prove that it was a cover-up. That means Hillary and BHO were just incredibly stupid, but that’s okay with BHO as long as you can’t prove criminality.

“I'll exit with a "fact". Bush raised deficit spending by pretty much historic amounts in terms of percentage in his last two years of office. Obama has cut deficit spending by pretty much historic amounts in terms of percentage. Of course you have to give Bush credit for raising deficit spending so high that it gave Obama the ability to cut it so drastically.”

Focusing on the amount of money BHO reduced the deficit is an insignificant stat. Remember that significant event, The Great recession, that started in about 2008. The budget in 2009 showed some drastic measures to attempt to fix it. Bush did not create the recession. The 2009 budget had about a trillion dollars of one time discretionary spending. About $250 billion of the budget was added that year in supplemental budgets by BHO. Had BHO not followed in Bush’s footsteps and continued with various bailouts, he could have cut the deficit by 60% that year and I would have called him a hero. Instead, he doubled down on the handouts. The insignificant part is setting the last year of Bush’s budget as the benchmark for judging BHO.

Lets look at the deficits before and after BHO.

Bush
2007 $174 billion
2008 $487
2009 $1487
Total $845

BHO
2010 $1344
2011 $1322
2012 $1128
Total $1794

BHO added twice as much. It is insignificant that he cut the deficit a lot.

"No. John, they could not prove that it was a cover-up. That means Hillary and BHO were just incredibly stupid, but that’s okay with BHO as long as you can’t prove criminality."

How so? Ambassador Stevens knew the dangers of being in Libya (as would any level-minded person would be) yet he chose to remain. The problem with people today, the right saw Benghazi as the golden anchor that would sink the election chances of Obama, it didn't work. People were angry (maybe, rightfully so) and several right-leaning medias outlets continued with the "cover-up" story to save face. The only reason the narrative continues is to hurt a potential run for Hillary in 2016.

I think Benghazi was just another link in the anchor chain that sunk BHOs ship. As for Hillary I think we got a glimpse of the real Hillary when she said''What difference does it make now?'' These people are so smart yet they keep saying and doing dumb things. This country would benefit if the names Bush ,Clinton ,Obama,Reed,Pelosi and Biden were never herd from again.
