Obama scandals - Benghazi, IRS, AP - and guess what (sm)


Posted: May 14, 2013

the lead story on Good Morning America with George Stephanopoulos was - Angelina Jolie's breasts.  Good grief.  They are still carrying Obama's water for him.  I only hope there is enough evidence that comes out for him to crash and burn.

;

Everyone wants discussion. So let's discuss. - OP

Nothing to say?

I didn't understand the invitation - sm

Between "carrying Obama's water" and your desire for him to "crash and burn" I guess the post kind of left me cold.

So what you are actually saying is liberals (sm) - OP

[ In Reply To ..]
only want to discuss those things that are favorable to Obama? That's the way it has always looked to me, and I guess I am just clarifying. I guess I was right.
The original post seems to want to talk outrage over - BusterB
[ In Reply To ..]
what's being discussed on Good Morning America. The best advice there if the topic does not please you is to change the channel.

All the topics you listed are discussed in threads below, and people have been participating. Unless there is breaking news that proves direct involvement of the president, the discussion will be exactly what it has been... speculation. My BIL is convinced that whenever the internet is slow, it's because Obama himself controls the internet so RWers cannot access information. Is this being discussed on GMA? I'm sure he's outraged about that too.

If you're looking for input regarding what's being discussed on GMA, you might be more successful on the gab board.
But it's political --- - isn't it? - How the media ignores?

Well, sine GMA covers a variety of topics and not just political news - BusterB
[ In Reply To ..]
maybe you have to sit though the piece on Angelina's breasts (which, BTW, is a women's health issue) to get to the issues you want to hear about. If you want to stick with GMA and don't want to wait to hear more speculation about Benghazi, try going to GMA's website (that is, if Obama isn't slowing down your internet connection). If that doesn't meet your needs, you can send GMA feedback or change the channel.
Yes it is. And so was the OPs message - Mrs. Tingles - sm

There could have been a discussion regarding the lack of media coverage of what is happening, but instead discussing things nobody cares about. It keeps the public eyes off the focus of what is going on.

The board over the past couple days has become a place where many liberals only want to discuss issues that show positive tingles about Obama. They won't discuss issues if it shows a negative light on what is going on. American deaths and its the Oh well attitude, or the immediate response of lets talk negative about Bush or republicans. They won't address issues.

They don't bring up wrong in their party, they discuss wrong in the republican and when you do bring up an issue of corruption in the democrat party they say oh it happens on both sides, so quick, let's change the conversation.

When you provide links that have facts in them if it proves a negative against O they'll come back and tell you your links are not credible. When in fact the link has facts or they'll come back and say the link is too old (even though it's from a couple months ago).

I think many of the posters in this discussion alone have learned over the past day that liberal posters here only want a discussion about the positives going on, which of course isn't much.
You are so right, and you explained very well - how it goes here.

the original post did not invite discussion - sm
[ In Reply To ..]
I thought the OP was just exercising her right to share her opinion. Nothing wrong with that. If she wanted to initiate "a discussion regarding the lack of media coverage," I think she could have gone ahead and done so. We can't read minds.

I clicked on the OP's second post because it said "let's discuss," but there was no discussion inside. All it said was "Nothing to say?" It sounded like someone was looking for a fight. So I moved on.
But I see you're back and now there is discussion. - So discuss.

I don't know -- CNN has certainly been - talking about it.

All day yesterday, this morning, on and on. CBS News has been talking about it lately, too.
Took them awhile, though, didn't it? (sm) - Rose
[ In Reply To ..]
2 years ago statement from the IRS of course denying any blame, and Benghazi, gee wasn't that 8 months ago. They're discussing it for 2 days. A CNN follower should be mighty proud.
Didn't take them long at all - mbmt
[ In Reply To ..]
All networks report these things, but Fox and many conservatives attempt to whip everybody into a frenzy and make accusations of wrongdoing and felonies and coverups before all of the vital information is gathered and reported. Other news outlets simply report all of the news as it comes in, and most people wait until there is something factual to base an opinion on.

But the facts on Benghazi are the same now as - they were 8 months ago!!(sm)
[ In Reply To ..]
Splain, please.
That's 2 days!! TWO DAYS!!! LOL - Wow. (sm)
[ In Reply To ..]
Where have they been for the past 6 or so years while we have been warning them about becoming a Banana Republic. OMG, we're almost there, and you're happy that they've ben reporting for 2 DAYS???
what I was actually saying is "I didn't understand the invitation." - sm
[ In Reply To ..]
I saw no invitation to discussion in your first post. Your second post looked like you *might* want to discuss, but when I saw the message inside, I realized I was mistaken.
It was a passive-aggressive post, best - left alone, I think.

Pointing out what a disgrace Obummer is to this country instantly makes you prejudice, and it makes no difference if you yourself are black.... Now had it been Bush that pulled all that crap, everyone would be calling for impeachment. Disgusting. It will take a miracle for this country to survive his rein of terror. Personally I hope we can get someone in there next time who has a grip on reality, maybe even an American... LIke Ben Carson, but then again, I hear he's prejudice too.....

I think Jay Carney is about to hold a briefing - ZvilleMT

[ In Reply To ..]
I'm interested to hear how the press take these on now, especially after what happened to the AP. I also heard on the radio that Holder has recused himself, but they didn't really explain what that means - can anyone help with that?

Recusing himself means he's stepping away from that investigation - Truthhurts

[ In Reply To ..]
because of a conflict of interest; i.e., it was the DOJ and he's head of the DOJ. Therefore, it was a smart thing for him to do. That way, he can't be accused of being partial

Someone else will have to lead the investigation. Maybe it will be an impartial committee and no one in the DOJ at all? Didn't see his conference.
.

Okay, because I thought I heard somewhere... - ZvilleMT

[ In Reply To ..]
that it was the CIA? Maybe it's the CIA doing the investigation? I didn't see his conference today either - haven't watched much news, so I'm not really understanding what all happened with that one yet. I'm sure it will be ongoing, so I'll have time to catch up.

Thanks for posting the info :)

Thanks for opening this to a discussion - Mrs. Tingles

[ In Reply To ..]
I find it a disgrace that news agencies don't report what is going on if it favors negatively for the democrats. They will only talk about positives and even at that most is their opinion.

However, since Brad and Jolie are part of the stooge lineup and best buds with Obama it is not surprising they are using her breasts as a distraction to the American people.

Fortunately though there are people awake in this country. Now I understand why people are calling the Obama's the Kardassians in the WH. I guess they think they are on some reality show.

Not for nothing, but AJ underwent an elective bilateral mastectomy - BusterB

[ In Reply To ..]
after undergoing genetic testing showing her to have upwards of 80% (I believe) chance of developing breast cancer. The discussion and her being public about it is important on several different levels from the emotional impact such surgery has on women, making people aware that the testing exists, avoiding testing/surgery out of fear of being dropped from insurance, etc. This isn't just another Hollywood star going for another lift or new implants. It's a women's health issue. If the OP can't sit through the AJ segment in order to get to the red meat topics... change the channel or write a letter.

Yes, a concern for women but there's a big BUT - Truthhurts

[ In Reply To ..]
they have the money. Most women do not. I think GS said the testing and treatment afterwards could cost upwards of $50K.

Yes, I'm sure a lot of women have that kind of cash stashed away....because it's not covered by most insurances and it's not covered in Obamacare.

Truthfully, this story could have been made public AFTER the important stories of the day, not the lead-in story. I think that's what the OP is talking about.
BRCA testing can be as high as $3K not $50K. RE Obamacare - sm
[ In Reply To ..]
If BRCA is considered preventive medicine, it may be something that the ACA could cover depending on insurance company and other things.
I believe the figure of $50K is being bandied around as the total cost - for treatment, including surgery.
[ In Reply To ..]

This whole issue actually *does* fall under the purview of political discussion, in terms of insurance coverage.  Canada's national health system, for instance, pays for the testing and treatment, including prophylactic mastectomy.  Since my mother and maternal grandmother both died of breast CA (I haven't had any gene testing, but have had multiple mammograms), I've got even more reason to lament the lack of single-payer health insurance in this country.

Who cares - She's no better than anyone else

[ In Reply To ..]
I don't care what that satan worshipper went through. She's not the first person to go through this.

She should go home and take care of herself and be well. I and many others don't care about her personal life or health issues.

There are plenty of not famous people who went through this and other famous people who went through this. I don't really care what Jolie or Pitt go through in their lives. Their disgusting display of themselves over the years has turned off many people.

I don't care for those two to be in the WH either. They have no business there. No political backgrounds, just their communist viewpoints. No thanks.

Go home Jolie and take care of yourself and have a nice life that is if you can stand not to have your mug out of the camera for more than 24 hours without going through the DTs without the attention focused on you.

She's a political hack. Hope she recovers from this. I just don't want to hear about it.
Again... best advice... change the channel - BusterB
[ In Reply To ..]
If AJ bothers you so much, turn off the program. If you want morning shows to cover topics that only you want to hear about, write a letter and complain.

In the meantime, they are going to air stories that attract the largest audience and get the highest ratings.

For anyone too impatient to sit through a segment and needs their RW red meat "news" fix stat, there is always Fox.

Unfortunately, breast cancer awareness is a topic very important to many people. Maybe GMA should issue an apology for devoting an entire segment to it and wasting precious time that could be spent on more Benghazi speculation. How dare people in this country care about anything other than what's buzzing around RW newsland. The noive!

We all hear things we don't care to hear about on a daily basis. That's why TVs and radios have an off switch.
I am not aware of a relationship between Pitt, Jolie - and the white house
[ In Reply To ..]
When you mention communist viewpoints, it brings Joe McCarthy to mind, fyi.

the media - and the pitts...

[ In Reply To ..]
The balance between fact and opinion certainly varies from one media outlet to the next. I read plenty of criticism of Obama and democrats on a daily basis. I really do. It depends on how you get your news; you could check out some other news agencies and see what you think.

That said, if some media sources cover Angelina's breasts, how does that make the Obamas like the Kardashians?
