Here we go. The House Oversight Committee hearings on
Benghazi begin today, and do you know what we’re going to learn? We’re going to
learn that 0bama and Hillary Clinton were informed almost immediately that the
attack on the Benghazi consulate was being waged by Islamic jihadists connected
to al Qaeda. Then we’re going to learn that 0bama and Hillary immediately went
into protective mode … protecting 0bama’s reelection efforts and Hillary’s
chances for 2016.
0bama had a narrative to protect. His diplomatic efforts
in the Middle East had brought about a new era of cooperation and peace, right?
Al Qaeda was on the run and all but decimated, right?
Hillary? She had incompetence to cover up. Almost
immediately she came to understand that this consulate had requested additional
security and protection, and that her chain of command had said no. Now she had
four dead Americans, including one dead Ambassador to deal with. The 3:00 am
phone call came, and her phone was turned off.
There was one current and one future presidency to be
saved here, so a narrative had to be developed and presented to the American
people that would clear 0bama and Hillary of any culpability. So not only did
they come up with this phony YouTube video lie, they actually used the police
power of the Executive branch of government to take an American citizen, an
unknown video producer from California, and jam him in jail on spurious (at
best) charges in order to support their phony and entirely contrived YouTube
video narrative.
Now, as the hearings begin, we have luminaries such as
Senator Lindsey Graham, former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton and my friend Mike
Huckabee all predicting, to one degree or another, dreadful times ahead for
0bama. The predictions range from a Watergate-style scandal to outright
impeachment.
Forget it. Ain’t going to happen. You’re dreaming.
Only a minority of Americans give a flying widget about
any 0bama cover-up of the Benghazi matter. They are more likely to buy into
White House Spokesman Jay Carney’s “That was a long time ago” narrative, or
Hillary’s “What difference does it make” rant than they are to actually care
about a deliberate, lying cover-up of the reasons behind the death of four
Americans.
Watergate? Gimme a big league break here. There’s a HUGE
difference between 0bama’s problems with Benghazi and Nixon’s Watergate mess.
When the Watergate scandal broke we had a New York and D.C. press corps with a
burning desire to destroy Richard Nixon. With 0bama and the Benghazi scandal we
have the very same press corps ready to do anything it can reasonably expect to
get away with to protect their God-like hero and preserve his presidency. “But
people died in Benghazi!” you say? And you think that’s enough to stop the
0bama hero-worship among the Fourth Estate?
But what about the American people? Really? Think about
that for a few moments. Now … you’re not telling me that the same people who
put this colossal failure back into the White House for four more years is
going to get worked up over Benghazi, are you?
Let me tell you what the American people are concerned
with right now – and we’re talking about those who aren’t gunched up with 24/7
discussions about college football recruiting and gay NBA players. In a
nutshell (and thank goodness for the few exceptions we DO have) the majority of
the American people are more worried right now about acquiring and keeping
their monthly checks from the government than they are about 0bama’s lies or
foreign policy failures. They think a Benghazi is a small yappy dog.
These people are more concerned about next Winter’s home
heating assistance checks than they are about dead ambassadors. They’re
worrying about getting more federal dollars for child care to help them take
care of the next tricycle motor they’re fixin’ to download without the benefit
of a husband. They’re wondering who is going to pay their medical bills, and
how they can get their hands on one of those great Section 8 housing vouchers.
Some are looking to upgrade their 0bamaPhones.
How many people do we have on Social Security disability
right now? The figure is nearing 12 million Americans. These 12 million are
principally worried about how to keep those checks coming, while another 12
million (at least) are wondering how to get on this bandwagon as well. After
all, their backs hurt and you surely can’t expect them to get out there and
work for a living, can you? (Apologies to those of you with actual
disabilities, but we could probably cram every one of you into a Jai Alai
Fronton somewhere in Miami if we had to.)
Then there’s millions more who’s main concern is making
sure their unemployment benefits don’t run out (Me? Get a job?) and others who
are waiting for 0bama to make their boss pay them more than they’re actually
worth on their jobs.
Benghazi 0bama’s Watergate? For that to happen you need
concerned citizens who actually care and a media that will do it’s job
objectively. Both ingredients are in short supply.
It’s going to be a great show, to be sure. But in the end
it adds up to nothing.
