What with this CNN Emails business?

You would think that the President was about to be impeached if your are unfortunate enough to listen to Asshat Limbaugh today. What are they claiming they "have" on Obama regarding this Libya business?

There were emails sent 2 hours after the attack from a militant group claiming responsibility and they are questioning why the emails are just now being known.

That's the gist I got from CNN which seems to want to keep pushing this. It's not a big surprise because alot of times there are claims for responsibility after an attack.

that President Obama lied so he could sell weapons to AQ. They're becoming (further) unhinged.

do administration officials talk about groups that claim responsibility for attacks without verifying the information? That seems far more reckless than trying to get the information straight before discussing it.

Would you want the President to come on TV and use intelligence gathered from facebook and twitter?

It doesn't mean the cops automatically believe them.

If you find yourself mocking homeless people and inciting zealots to violence, let me know. I am doing a study on the possibility that electromagnetic waves can be transmitted through HF FM receivers. Because there has to be a rational explanation of how listeners can not only believe his rants, but then repeat them word for word.

So, the emails say that the Libyan group called Ansar al-Sharia had asserted responsibility for the attacks. This is part of the continued coddling of Mitt's butthurt after he was corrected on national TV, by a woman, in front of 65 million viewers.

Anyway, the implication is that the president is weak on terror because he didn't yell and pound the podium the morning after in the rose garden. President Obama should have already sent ships to Benghazi to massacre the terrorists and show them who's boss by then.
