a few low level investigators and their supervisors resigning. And they've spent almost the better part of a year beating this dead horse. They aren't going to give up now.

<snip>
President George W. Bush is the featured speaker at a fundraiser this week for the West Michigan Aviation Academy.

Organizers say the event in Grand Rapids begins Wednesday afternoon and includes a social reception, dinner and program. The second annual Leaders of Tomorrow Gala takes place at a hangar on the grounds of Gerald R. Ford International Airport.

Bush is expected to speak to a sold-out crowd of more than 850. The event is expected to be closed to media.

This is my 2 cents on what is happening to Obama. this is obliviously an prop agana offensive by the right on Obama. This so-called apology by IRS to The Tea Baggers reminds me of when Cheney shot one of his friends in the face and the victim of that shooting apologize to Cheney. To the righties, an apology is like a Protestant version of a Catholic priest's absolution. You asking the ruling class to forgive you of your Anti-American sins. Your penance is that you will conform to the Republican party Line without question.
The right wing are imitators of left wing tactics. They are politically challenged because they are intellectually challenged. The way they are characterizing Obama is the exact way we portrayed Bush. Do you think this will work? It might for 27% of the USA. This Anti-Obama offensive will back-fire on the right wing think tanks. Don't expect the CIA to apologize to the occupation movement

Why would any of Obama, Pelosi or Reid believe that the war criminals should be been allowed to walk free? All they want is power and they will use any means to acquire it.

How exactly are these two still even relevant, anyway? I'd be ashamed to show my face publicly if I knew that most Americans know about how I was part of a lie that lead to a stupid war. These two should be the last people to speak on Benghazi.
