Again, Clinton's impeachment was the key to GWB's election in 2000 and I thank God for that!

Blame Hillary is not an option. The Secretary of State is only liable for the lack of security at the facility and that may be enough to sink her future aspirations but it won’t be enough to excuse this President of the dereliction of his duty. While Hillary is stuck with the lack of security and the lack of foresight for the need of special attention on a significant date, only the Executive branch is tied to the stand down orders, the relieving of Generals and Admirals who differed with those orders and the five day You tube cover-up.

Benghazi is the silver bullet; now unleash the dogs of war!

Thank you for posting.

What? That is absurd. Bush barely limped into the barn in that election, if you forgot.

Exactly.

And without the Lewinsky scandal (Clinton fatigue) GWB would not have been elected.

In the case of Obama, the problem with keeping it "simple" because you believe that the American electorate functions at a 4th Grade level is that you then allow yourself to be outsmarted by a 5th Grader. Let's try it:

You focus only on, "Where was Obama?"

The other side then tap-dances like Fred Astaire to avoid giving you a straight answer.

WALLACE: he didn't talk to the secretary of state except for the one time when the first attack was over. he didn't talk to the secretary of defense, he didn't talk to chiefs. the chairman of the joint who was he talking to?

PFEIFFER: his national security staff, his national security council.

WALLACE: was he in the situation room?

PFEIFFER: he was kept up to date throughout the day.

WALLACE: do you know know whether he was in the situation room?

PFEIFFER: i don't know what room he was in that night. that's a largely irrelevant fact.
<snip>
WALLACE: i'm simply asking a question. where was he? what did he do? how did he respond in who told him you can't deploy forces and what was his president?

PFEIFFER: the president was in the white house that day

Smelling blood in the water, you "keep it simple" by focusing, like a laser, on where Obama physically was:

"Where was Obama?"

"Where was Obama?"

They keep tap-dancing and avoiding the question.

"I don't know what room he was in that night. that's a largely irrelevant fact."

For week after week, you keep pounding:

"Where was Obama?"

"Where was Obama?"

Finally, the Obama camp admits defeat and holds a press conference to come clean. A dated and timed video recording of the Situation Room is shown to the assembled national news media for the earthshaking answer to the question, "Where was Obama?".

The answer:

Drum roll, please.

"Umm ... Let's see. The President was sitting at the head of the table, in his usual chair, facing the video monitor. In case you also want to know what he was wearing, that would be khaki slacks and socks, a white shirt with the sleeves rolled up and no coat or tie. Oh, I forgot. He wore brown shoes. As I have been saying for weeks, these are largely irrelevant facts."



The American electorate then starts grumbling about how they haven't wasted this much time since tuning in to watch Geraldo Rivera open up Al Capone's vault.

Geraldo opens Al Capone's empty vault

October 17, 1995

Back when Geraldo had that long, silly mustache of his... wait ...he's always had that ... he was given the go-ahead to air a special devoted to opening a secret vault that was owned by gangster Al Capone. This was 1986, and an estimated 30 million viewers were tuned in. A medical examiner stood at the ready in case bodies were found, as well as members of the IRS to collect any money. Fortunately for him it was long before Twitter or the Internet were around to kill his career because on live TV, he opened up the doors to find ... nothing. Just some debris. It was a two-hour special, by the way -- two hours that 30 million people who watched will never get back. Hmm. Perhaps that was Capone's last crime

Since you "Kept It Simple", you have just shot your wad and a disgusted American electorate then goes back to more pressing issues such as the crabgrass on their lawn.

Does this scenario sound familiar?

It should. Obama played that same game with his birth certificate in Hawaii.

I sure wouldn't waste any time arguing with you.

I'm glad you are voting Republican but as Polybius tried to point out, your apologetics stink.

You end up supplying us with examples of fragmented thinking [monkeys on typewriters?]

It would make your arguments more compelling if you could follow a thought through with linear thinking and present a clear rebuttal.

What's linear? Well you cite Clinton Fatigue being one key reason GWB got elected. Polybius showed CF wasn't a significant factor. You counter with.....? Monkeys on typewriters? Nope, that doesn't cut it. Think Linear.

just how it looks from where I'm sitting.....

What I find frustrating, Polybius, is your seemingly endless capacity for false equivalencies and misleading comparisons.

I've never seen anyone use so many keystrokes to say nothing worthwhile.

The old Bob Newhart bit about an infinite number of monkeys pounding on an infinite number of typewriters comes to mind.

I remember that one!
