Retired journalist, former cop, current fisherman/photographer/diver/boater/husband. Tells it like it is on just about any topic, especially those I had to remain silent about for so, so many years. Politicians, especially those professional ones (kinda like professional students, don't you think) are such easy targets. And, I am not one to pass up an easy shot.

Sex, Lies, the Army, the Marines...who ya gonna trust? How about the president for a change!
Well, well. A week after the election, and the dust hasn't settled. All sorts of noise about voter fraud, voter intimidation and the like.
That pesky little Benghazi mess that left four Americans, including an ambassador, dead remains a nuisance for the Obama administration. Congress made noise that it wants answers, but waited until after the election to begin making some real noise.
Is that pesky mess getting a lot of attention? Of course not. Suddenly, right after the election, it was divulged that David Patraeus, Obama's choice to head the C.I.A. (folks aren't talking much about this being a Bamma-Man, are they?) was resigning after the F.B.I., acting on a tip, uncovered an affair between the nation's top spook and a chick who's been working closely with him on a book. Whatever. Now, that's big news. A sex scandal. Good stuff.
Is it newsworthy? Absolutely! Does it overshadow the Benghazi-Betrayal? Absolutely not. But, it is doing just that. The murders of four Americans quickly became old news, at least for a couple days, while a smoke screen, better than any military team could have ever wished for, was laid out. And, as soon as that smoke began to disperse, along comes another one. Boy, these Washington guys are good. No wonder that they managed to snooker so many voters on 6 November.
The second phase involves a top military leader, a Marine Corps general. Some 20-thousand pages of e-mails to a military "socialite" (I have a more common name for her) took off. And, lo and behold! It was related to the first scandal. More oily rags and green leaves were piled on top of the fire with a result of even more smoke.
So, here we have it. A dumb CIA director who got involved with a woman who was not his wife, a woman who is not the brightest star in the sky (did you see the video where she shared obvious pillow-talk with an audience?), followed up by a marine general who should have known better before sending thousands of e-mails to a "socialite", some sort of "honorary" consulate (someone needs to redefine the root word "honor"), and you have a smoke screen that has the media and our legislators going around in circles.
There are a number of legislators who are not being sidetracked. Senator John McCain is running full speed ahead, obviously ticked off by the attempts of POTUS to draw attention away from Benghazi and the attack on our consulate. And, Rep. Walter Jones of North Carolina's 3rd District, told me on Live and Local with Raeford and Friends that he wants the truth, at whatever cost.
So, here we have it. The administration hanging with a lie they started within hours of the obviously premeditated attack on our embassy, diverting the attention of the ever-so-gullable mainstream media who don't want to ruin their chances at getting invited to the next big White House shindig,and those of us who have seen through the whole mess.
But, have we? What other agenda does the administration have? How about a reduction of defense spending, a reduction of our warriors? Do you not think that the liberal memebers of the Congress and Senate will use the military affairs mess to justify cutting out what they see as excessive spending? And, what defense can the Defense Department use to justify all that money going to them when abuses, and excessive spending, and hanky panky are played out every night on the television news?
Oh, and don't forget that hot little treaty before the UN. Waiting until after Obama secured another term so as not to give ammo to those defenders of our Second Amendment...you know, one of those constitutional amendments that liberals are ever trying to neutralize. It has been scheduled, again, for next spring. Obama's gang, prior to the election, maintained that he would do nothing to challenge that amendment. And, thank goodness that so many believed him. After all, when has he ever lied? Forget about Benghazi. That doesn't count as a lie. He said he never lied, that he said on 12 September that the attack was an act of terror, while maintaining that some pitiful excuse for a film was to blame for the spontaneous attack.
Trust me. The check's in the mail. I'll never let you down. I am not a muslim. By the way, an American, a former marine who has become a muslim, told me on the air that Obama had to be a muslim to have gone to muslim schools. And, if he was no longer a muslim, then he was subject to be punished. Yeah, well, don't wait for that to happen.
