Time to toot horn for George H.W. Bush....

"George W. Bush did me one of the great favors of my life. He asked me, not once,but twice, to work with his father to help people in need: first in South Asia in the tsunami and then in the Gulf Coast after Katrina. All told, we took seven trips together. It was an amazing experience. This man, whom I'd always liked and respected and then run against in a painful campaign in some ways, I literally came to love."

We Don't Know Why We Lost Because We Don't Know Who We Are.....

Interesting Read....

 Theories abound regarding the Republican implosion on November 6th. If you are an avid reader, you no doubt have read the gamut of postulation. We've seen the far right conclude we need to move further right. The Rockefeller wing (yes, it is much smaller, but it's still there) says we need to slide to the left! The mainstream media and the left (if you can separate the two) have pretty much just written us off as irrelevant. To date, I don't think anyone has it quite right, so I now attempt to crack the code. Some of you may not like it.

White House told of militant claim two hours after Libya attack: emails.....

I think everyone knew the WH lied...why we aren't sure....however it IS reassuring to know there wasn't some mind numbing total security failure taking place beyond our decision to not save the American's under siege. At least we knew it was happening and not some innocuous dumb video....however, when it comes to the Drive-by Media...there will be crickets chirping instead of reporting on this.

Officials at the White House and State Department were advised two hours after attackers assaulted the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, on September 11 that an Islamic militant group had claimed credit for the attack, official emails show.

Triathlon triumph ......

This should put a smile on your face!!!

What happened next, though, has captured the attention of the nation.

In the moments Ben was debating whether he could hop or maybe crawl the rest of the mile, a man named Matthew Morgan, a Marine who had volunteered to help at the youth event, stepped in.

“(Morgan said) ‘You need help?’ and I said, ‘Sure,’ and he picked me up and carried me,” Ben said.

White House Has No Comment on House GOPers’ Assertions that Libyan Mission Requested Security Prior to 9/11/12 Attack ......

Earlier today, chairman of the committee Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., and Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, the chair of the subcommittee on national security, homeland defense, and foreign operations, wrote to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, asserting that “multiple U.S. federal government officials have confirmed to the Committee that, prior to the September 11 (2012) attack, the U.S. mission in Libya made repeated requests for increased security in Benghazi. The mission in Libya, however, was denied these requests by officials in Washington.”

Obama campaign send desecrated flag down the memory hole....

This is contemptible behavior. People who love the flag, who fought for it, or who lost loved ones fighting for it, deserve an apology for this desecration. Now they try to pretend it never happened.

The media don't want to touch this story with a ten foot pole, but had the Romney campaign done something patently offensive to a large segment of the population, they would talk of nothing else.
