[Democrats are that way. We saw 61 million of them go to the polls Tuesday the 6th and vote against America. He went to bed and left four Americans to die. Whats the big deal?
He wants to surrender America to al Qaeda. Soooo? "He gives me free stuff!"]
"Will a Congress that has allowed itself to be made largely irrelevant during Barack Obamas first term have the intestinal fortitude to stand up to him and demand accountability now that he has been returned to office for another four years?
During Bill Clintons impeachment trial, even the supposedly honorable Joe Lieberman, who on the Senate floor spoke so disapprovingly of the presidents loutish behavior, in the end voted against Clintons conviction for lying under oath. As David Schippers, chief investigative counsel for the proceedings, wrote in his book, Sellout, the inside story of the Clinton impeachment, a member of the Republican Senate leadership assured him that if video evidence could be shown that Bill Clinton shot someone dead in broad daylight, they still could not get the two-thirds majority necessary to convict him because Democrats would never vote to remove him from office.
My own sense is that there is not a single Democrat and only a handful of Republicans who would be willing to speak truth to power and then follow through on their words. Mitt Romney certainly did not make a major issue of the Benghazi attack that killed four Americans, including our ambassador to Libya.
So as David Petraeus prepares to testify before a closed congressional committee about that shameful night, a resolve settles over those of us who do not believe the whole truth will ever be known. The newly reaffirmed tyrant, Barack Obama, will not allow it to be known.
After all, this is a president who has bullied his way through four years in office and been re-elected to a second term.
He has shipped guns illegally into Mexico and watched as people on both sides of the border were murdered by the drug cartels using them.
He has borrowed trillions from China in order to spend tax dollars to be collected from generations yet unborn, to fund stimulus programs that stimulate nothing be the growth of government.
He has rammed through a health care bill opposed by a majority of the American people, which will surely bankrupt the nation, then managed to see it ruled constitutional by a Supreme Court that apparently no longer understands what the Constitution even says.
He apparently went to bed while brave Americans were fighting for their lives in a foreign consulate, got up the next day and made up a flagrantly false story about the reasons for the attack, and then flew off to Las Vegas for a campaign fundraiser.
And because he has disregarded the whole process of submitting a budget to Congress, none has been passed during his entire first term.
And yet we gave him a second term!
He believes, with some justification, that those who returned him to office will believe whatever ridiculous story he tells them about anything which is why it will likely make little or no difference what David Petraeus says behind closed doors before the United States Congress."

[A Congress and Supreme Court with no cojones. A press that acts as if their minds had been permanently anesthitized by drugs or subjected to repeated frontal lobotomies. What is left for the ordinary man when he seeks redress of his grievances?]
