The Washington Post reported late Tuesday that the emails released by the Obama administration reveal a rather shocking surprise. No, the Obama White House did not craft the Benghazi talking points to protect their reputation or that of the State Department. Nor did the State Department protect their image with “changes” to the talking points.
It was Republican hero, General David Petraeus, then the head of the CIA, who sought to burnish his image with demands to change the talking points. In fact, his version put him at “odds” with the State Department, the FBI, and officials within his own agency:
This is the second time today that a Republican has been lurking behind a highly hyped by Republican-alleged “Obama scandal”. Aren’t you glad we spent millions to get to the bottom of this, and aren’t you glad that Republicans are heeding Hertitage’s orders to cease legislating in order to go after Obama with manufactured scandals? It is Republicans patriotic duty, after all, to unwittingly out their own malfeasance repeatedly, until one day they implode, choking on their own hypocrisy and refusal to govern
Since my previous post somehow was deleted(?),I will ask again, after turning over the TFP editorials page to the head of the Republican party of Tn., which Tea-party mouthpiece will get the honors next? Or must we just wait & see 'cause I'm sure it's coming.
BTW, for what it's worth, Republicans in Congress have known that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) asked additional questions of some tea party groups seeking tax exempt status since last July, only recently raising the issue as a matter of controversy according to documents released by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

Perhaps you should check the budget cuts to Tennessee's Department of Children's Services,thanks to our "fiscally conservative" state legislature?
The White House released a photo of President Obama skeet shooting , Of course this has put the right-wing blogosphere into a tizzy. They have criticized the President for everything from his form to stating that the photo is staged or Photoshopped. No matter what the President does it will be wrong to those on the right, so I don't know why he even tries to please them.
Of course none of this compares to the Republican reaction to President Obama warning Americans of the dangers of eating yellow snow . Immediately after the address House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Minority leader Mitch McConnell held a press conference to announce the introduction a bill that would preserve the rights of Americans to eat yellow snow and to tout the health benefits of eating yellow snow. The Golden Retriever, Beagle, and Collie lobbyists appeared on stage behind Congressman Boehner and Senator McConnell with tails wagging which is being taken as a victory for their clients.
Shortly afterwards Rush Limbaugh went on the air and stated that conservatives across the southern states were up in arms about the socialist agenda that prevents snow from falling in the south, thus preventing southerners from enjoying yellow snow. The Drudge Report and Breitbart.com have picked up the story and have posted videos of a janitor working at the USDA stating that, “Yes…no snow…in…the south…socialism.” It is unknown at this time if the video was manipulated in anyway.Mark E Andersen

Mr. Editor, you are obviously not "up to speed" on current events, in that it's been proven that the "modifications" of the BENGHAZI!!! talking points was done by REPUBLICANS.
Sorry, but your ginned-up "scandals" all seem to be falling apart.
BTW, I'm sure it must be really frustrating to you to learn, via Gallup poll, that President Obama's and Hillary Clinton's favorability ratings have gone up during all the faux outrage.
The scandal-mongers need to get another dead horse to beat, or a life.
Who's responsible? Give us some truth, Mr. President
How do you like the "truth" now Mr.Devaney?

Straight out of the repub playbook, "tell a lie enough times and it becomes true" This time I don't think so Robin!
Smith: Is lying a substitute for leadership?
Here is my post from 5-13-2013 I think it can be re-used for this column,
acerigger said... Smith: COVER-UP: Benghazi now a textbook example
OOPSIE!! Another Republican ginned-up "scandal" bites the dust.
What now Robin?
"Republicans misquoted or significantly embellished the emails officials used to draft Rice’s remarks, the CBS Evening News reported Thursday.
CBS News’ Major Garrett confirmed that it was a GOP source who leaked the altered emails." ;http://thinkprogress.org/?mobile=nc
