A Goof with a View

The insipid talk show "The View" is where president Obama goes these days to take questions from the "press". Obama is so intent on avoiding any real questions that might upset his re-election plans that instead he goes on TV with the likes of Whoopi Goldberg and the other ladies. Even then, with fawning entertainers serving up softball questions, Obama still blew it. Obama, for the first time, told the nation from The View that the attack in Libya that killed our ambassador and three other Americans was not a spontaneous outburst due to the famous video. "There's no doubt that the kind of weapons that were used, the ongoing assault, that it wasn't just a mob action. What's clear is that, around the world, there are still a lot of threats out there."

Now remember that when the attack occured, Obama strongly told us that it was not terrorism or preplaned. He had UN ambassador Susan Rice go on four news shows to loudly proclaim that there were not even any indications that this was a terror attack. The president of Libya announced that this clearly was a carefully planned terror attack, but still the White House persisted. There were absolutely no indications that this was a terror attack, we were told. Then news came out that Obama had been warned ahead of time that there might be such an attack and did nothing. Here too we were assured that there were no indications that this was a terror attack. Members of Congress were incredulous and pointed out that this had to be a terror attack, but Obama persisted with his story. Either he did not recognize that this was clearly a terror attack, or he did not actually realize the truth (which is worse). Then the dam broke. Jay Carney told us that it was self-evident that this was a terror attack. High intelligence officials testified in Congress that this was a terror attack. And now, Obama himself has actually admitted "there's no doubt that the kind of weapons that were used, the ongoing assault, that it wasn't just a mob action.

So now Obama's story is that the weapons make clear that this was not a spontaneous mob action. So there are obvious indications that this was a terror attack. That means all those statements from Obama and his lackeys that there were no indications that terrorists were involved were wrong. And not only wrong; now Obama admits that there is "no doubt" about it. Obama just switches sides on the story and offers no explanation for his first two weeks of lying.

Obama is a danger to America.
