How's that crow tasting for you Libbies now?<br /><br />After watching those Libyan hearing today , I'd say that it looks like Obama and Secretary of State Clinton are in deep doo doo. <br /><br />No matter how much you liberals try and spin this one, the blame rests solely on the shoulders of the Messiah.<br /> Obama is toast and Madam Hillary can forget about ever being elected the first woman president.

They, used the “so called” anti-Muslim film for their own good so that they would be able to Cover Up the real reasons. Including refusing to supply more security for the Embassy and the Ambassador and his staff who were murdered.<br />One has to wonder if he (Obama) is securing more security for Big Bird! <br />Mitt Romney needs to jump all over this, and not let the Media sweep it under the rung with the rest of Obama’s and Hillary’s LIES! . Let the Messiah talk about Big Bird, maybe that’s all he has left and that’s all he is capable of discussing. Because he can’t lie his way out of this one any longer.

The purpose of training wheels was to give him a “safe start.” In time, we would remove those safety devices, and then he’d have to learn about biking by falling down. I worried, but I realized that falling down was the only way for him to learn about bike riding. I worried because I realized that no matter how competent my son became on his bike, he was always “in danger” of hurting himself, or being injured in a myriad of other ways. I realized that no matter how good my son became at bike riding, he was always subject to epic fail.<br /><br />Our banks are subject to epic fail … but we diminish them, and ourselves, by trying to shield them from their own incompetence, their own arrogance, their own corruption. A bank deserves to succeed if properly managed; it deserves to fail when it pursues irresponsible behavior. It is not appropriate for government to pick winners and losers … Romney understands this is true about PBS, and he knows it is true about the so-called Green Energy companies … I wish he would signal his understanding of this for the large banks, as well.Sam Huntingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14780557316548397352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7674333464171899932.post-10825265668866126822012-10-10T07:03:35.830-06:002012-10-10T07:03:35.830-06:00You have to wonder what the parasites will do when...You have to wonder what the parasites will do when the host is bled dry?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7674333464171899932.post-42840927350883432012-10-10T06:51:20.205-06:002012-10-10T06:51:20.205-06:00Typical leftist bombthrower tactic, Ducky.
