WHITE HOUSE TRIVIA: All of those dead bodies piling up from Benghazi and Fast & Furious? Those are on Fox

When confronted with rank propaganda like this, I really, really want to drop the f-bomb and other appropriate adjectives. But this is a family blog.

Not accustomed to being asked difficult questions about his failures in office, President Obama attacked Fox News host Bill O'Reilly during a pre-Super Bowl interview on Sunday for daring to demand answers about the Benghazi terrorist attack and the IRS targeting conservative groups.

O'Reilly said, "Your detractors believe that you did not tell the world it was a terror attack because your campaign didn't want that out. That's what they believe." Obama ranted in reply: "And they believe it because folks like you are telling them that." O'Reilly responded: "No, I'm not telling them that, I'm asking you whether you were told it was a terror attack."

Minutes later, while O'Reilly was asking about the IRS scandal, Obama tried to dismiss the topic: "Folks have, again, had multiple hearings on this. I mean, these kinds of things keep on surfacing in part because you and your TV station will promote them.

As the Conservative Tribune puts it:

Obama did in this interview what Obama has always done: Shift the blame to someone else. If something goes wrong in his presidency, it’s the fault of Republicans, racism, Fox News, or anything else that seems like a good scapegoat.

On Obama's desk, there must be a new riff on Truman's sign that reads:

THE BUCK STOPS ANYWHERE BUT HERE


Or:

THE BUCK STOPS WITH FOX NEWS

I don't have the appropriate words in my vocabulary to describe what I think of this kind of behavior.

"...these kinds of things keep on surfacing in part because you and your TV station will promote them."

Low information voters believe what the experts tell them: wet sidewalks cause rain.

Let me ask a simple question: what percent of low information voters graduated from the public school system? This is the grotesque hidden cost of educating children below their individual potential.

But notice how many (R) candidates are left to tell the voters how much better the public school system would be run should they be elected. This whole system must be scrapped and replaced with a system that allows parents to send their child to the public or private school of their choice.

Amen to that. If given a choice there would be no public education system.

And if you're looking for words to describe Obama, let me submit: Treasonousus, Egotistical, Marxist, Pathetic, Jackass, Disgrace, Ruinous, Dangerous, Pathological, Deviant. I could go on, and on. The one thing I won't call him is a Patriot. Never!

The disregard for American life when it conveniences Barry is remarkably arrogant, condescending, humiliating, patronizing, and breathlessly provincial.
Would somebody please get a moving van, park it in front of the White House and unroll a stained sheet that says, "get the hell out and the truck is free".
And take the family dog "bitme" with you.
