The administration has just legitimized it for another three years. And other ill consequences of this feckless administration will go on longer, many of them probably for decades.

So the administration would have us believe that only after the election was the president told by the FBI that an investigation with possible national-security implications — involving no less than the director of the Central Intelligence Agency — has been going on since the summer. We’re also to believe that the director’s resignation after the election and before congressional hearings on Benghazi is purely coincidental. Not only that, but when the most powerful man in the world learned of the attack on our consulate in Benghazi, he immediately ordered that everything be done to secure all personnel at the site — but apparently, everyone ignored him. So he did what any commander in chief would do under such circumstances — he went to bed.
Yes, they really do think we’re that stupid.
Well, unfortunately, it appears that a little over half of us are.

The country’s in the very best of hands.
I wish I could write that non-ironically, but it seems pretty hopeless, for at least four years.
Was Petraeus Blackmailed By The White House?
It’s a legitimate question. What’s keeping him from talking now?
Oh, and by the way, Ricochet? If there’s no second page, please don’t waste peoples’ time and bandwidth putting a link in pointing to it.

Can someone explain to me why resigning over an extra-marital affair would allow you to decline to testify before Congress?

Re-Elect Obama
…so we can see just how much worse it can be.
[Update a couple minutes later]
Spite and revenge is the new “hope and change”:
For Obama, this entire campaign has felt like revenge against Romney, and against the kind of people Obama thinks Romney represents. Obama could have spent the last several months talking about his own record and his plans to change direction from our current economic stagnation that has kept the level of employment in the population at or near 30-year lows. Instead, Obama approached this election as a personal mission of revenge, and left the door open for Romney to present the only vision of change for the future in this campaign. Romney defined his campaign as an expression of love rather than revenge. So what Obama said on Friday was no gaffe. It’s just the obvious takeaway from a relentlessly empty and negative campaign.
But he’s “likable.” I guess.
