Only a few more days of stonewalling and hurt feelings, and Obama may get away with it. If he's re-elected, it's too late to matter.  If he's not re-elected, it's too late to matter. Maybe this is a sign Benghazi is permeating the popular consciousness in time,...

The video below, Absolutely Uncertain (h/t @SGLawrence) already has over 800,000 views on YouTube. I understand Irina's point, the trust in Obama has been shaken, and now she is uncertain about Obama's commitment to Israel. I'm not uncertain.  I am certain that in a second term, freed...

This video has been making the rounds. It's a 22-minute examination of the pattern of leaks of classified and sensitive information intended to make Obama and his administration look tough. How do you cut this down to 30 seconds so it can be run on television? I'm...
