Benghazi Poll Favor More Disapproval Than Approval of Obama’s handling of Aftermath?

[busterbrown]

What bothers me are the Independent numbers. Just how stupid are they..
Just proves what you all are saying. The Media is carrying this story..

I think the push back by the Administration and State Dept. sucks.... In this day and age of dumbed
down voter and media writers, you can’t continually fight back with an “adult in the room” strategy!

Put someone out there who has a few bull dog characteristics. And that ain’t Jim Carney nor
Dem House members reading statements..

1. Really?

A "HuffPost/YouGov poll"?

It's the kind of result one would expect from an online-RW poll.

Here's part of the reason Obama won re-election

Poll: Majority Of Americans Don’t See Obama Administration Cover Up On Benghazi

And that's despite "Benghazirama"

2. You can't defend against emails that detail the political motives behind the redactions.

All you can do is a mea culpa.

Geez.

3. One phrase, in one email

There is nothing to defend because nothing happened.

The purpose of the investigation is the investigation itself. And no one has yet to articulate any nefarious goal.

4. BBC: After Benghazi revelations, heads will roll

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-22483768

My take for what its worth: This shouldn't have been a big deal (the talking points) but the denials and misrepresentations have turned it into something and now they are saying it looks "Clintonesque". Obama doesn't have anything to lose by taking responsibility because he already won the Presidency and the idea this is impeachable is ridiculous (unless the gunrunning accusations turn out to have more to them, I am not sure if that is a problem). Jay Carney made things infinitely worse by now parsing that instead of "the White House and State" having little input, he clarified it to "the White House". Boy if Hillary needs to go on the offensive who knows how this will turn out.

5. Guess what?

"My take for what its worth: This shouldn't have been a big deal "

8. I guess what I was saying is that its time for JimCarney to move on..

We need to change it up a little and get a head banger in that position.

7. I get all that...

I just want someone to get out there and call them what they are...
You have to fight bullshit with anger and a few punches sometimes... These guys are clearly stirring the pot only for political purposes and are freaking liars.. Jim Carney needs to find some nuts!!

6. If one does an inadequate job disputing charges, then "disapproval" is assured.

Being in high position is like being on trial all the time. If you decide not to answer charges because you deem yourself innocent, you're going to look bad. You'll even be found guilty.
