I thank my fellow WH honchos for cleaning up while I was busy slaving away at Walmart.<br /><br />Back to the State Department funding issue.<br /><br />Rep Jason Chaffetz said that the GOP House voted to cut state department funding. The next thing he said was that those cuts never happened because Hairy Reed's senate has not passed a budget in the past four year.<br /><br />Therefore, those cuts that never happened cannot be blamed for the terrorist attack in Libya.<br /><br />To see what a blatant red propaganda lie this is, I refer interested voters to the <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/budget/Historicals" rel="nofollow">White House Budget site, Table 4.1</a><br /><br />State Department spending has increased every year.<br /><br />The murder of Ambassador Chris Stevens by terrorists is Obama's fault. It happened on his watch.<br /><br />If he gets credit for killing bin Laden, he also gets the blame for murderous terrorist attacks. Learn it. Eat it.

How soon after the attack did he meet with the people from State Department, or the Director of National Intelligence, or anyone else to try to sort out what happened in Benghazi? Or was he too busy talking to Hillary making up stories like blaming it all on a little bitty “Film” maker to cover this thing up and then they threw him in Jail. ! <br />And while I’m on the subject of Madam Hillary, where the hell is she and where the hell has she been all this time? And why did she send in that Twerp Charlene Lamb to take the heat and to testify instead of herself? Like sending a Lamb to Slaughter! It doesn’t take a genius to figure that Hillary would “Get out of twon when the heat was on. And to figure that Obama would rush off to Vegas for a fund-raiser and then to appear on the Letterman show. And to leave the American people angry and outraged. And then to top it off, he sends in the!' 'Weird little nitwit, that Smirking Jerk” to spread his BS on that debacle they called a debate. He looked and sounded ridiculous, he didn't disappoint, he was the same entertaining Buffoon that we figured he’s be. <br />And where is Hillary these days, I heard that she’s in Peru somewhere ducking the heat.
