Wow. So many lies, packed into a single, scary, image. The past 8 years, considering that this presidency started out with our biggest economic crisis, since the Great Depression.

Tell that to the millions of Americans, who actually have insurance, today, when they had none before.

[b]NW,

As I've said so many times before.....If you disagree, It's a lie.
The above facts are true, whether you disagree or not....sorry, you can't handle the truth.[/b]

@lov2smile: Nothing really completely true about them.

1. Eight years of war: more like, 8 years of trying to untangle us from the war started by the George W. Bush. He succeeded in getting us out of one spot, and has been reducing our presences, and certainly our casualties from another. In addition, he managed to keep us out of Syria.

2. Lowest economic growth in US history: the biggest lie of all. When we go from the brink of the abyss, to a virtual full employment, that's the only statistic that counts.

3. Record number of mass shootings: how about a qualification? Per capita? Anything?

4. Record number of terrorist attacks: How do you qualify and quantify this? Number of deaths? Who committed the attacks? What do you define as a terrorist attack?

5. Record number of people on food stamps: can you provide some links? resources?

6. Record high health insurance costs: as compared to what? The millions of people who have health insurance today, through the exchanges, did not have prior insurance, or could not have prior insurance. So, what is this being compared to?

7. Record high national debt: Sure. It started out with the smoke and mirror trickle down economics of the Reagan administration. You're going to blame this on Obama? Wait until you get to the arms race and wall building programs Trump wants to run.

8. Worst rioting since 1967: Did you forget the LA riots? Just to name but one. What does that tell you?

9. Highest poverty level in American history: cite your sources.

This is what I call fake news.

@Northwest:

YIKES!!! You are so misguided. A political vacuum. Do you have any sense at all.

The obama government is the most corrupt government America has ever known. Hilary would have been worse.

At least the American people were not fooled by people like you, who try to convince the masses that obama and hilary are the angels the media portrayed them to be.

Expand your horizons and learn the truth.

@lov2smile: Just like many of your posts, you presented something that's not backed by ANY references, and presented it as facts.

You previously presented an article, with a fake image of our Ambassador to Libya, claiming that he was sexually violated, for seven hours, and tortured. You insisted that it fact, and you never took it back.

I presented a point by point rebuttal, but you're still repeating the same propaganda and hyperbole. Trump perpetrated the biggest con on you, and those who believed his lies.

I suggest you expand your horizons and learn the truth. At a minimum, verify your stories.

@Northwest:

Yes, Benghazi happened. Sorry you didn't like the picture.
The American people know that Benghazi happened because Hilary sat on her hands and did nothing, ignored their pleas for help......and you, would rather talk about semantics.

You can stick your head in the sand all you want, as you always do when you deny the facts.

[quote]Yes, Benghazi happened. Sorry you didn't like the picture[/quote]

Sorry I did not like the picture? Here's what you posted:



Shame on your for propagating this lie. What if the people who knew him, had seen and believed this? How hateful do you have to be, to abuse the memory of a fallen US Diplomat, and spread these lies, for political gain. The people who killed him, showed no regard for human values, and you're showing that you're more than happy to lie, and use his death for political gain.

[quote]......and you, would rather talk about semantics.[/quote]

Semantics? You call false claims of rape, torture, cattle prodding and burning someone to death, semantics? Really? Do you think before you type?

[quote]You can stick your head in the sand all you want, as you always do when you deny the facts.[/quote]

There was nothing factual about the picture/story you posted. It's an insult to his memory. It shows how much you care about the memory of a fallen US Diplomat, if it serves your political purposes.

It was Hilary's incompetence, that led to the death of 4 American Patriots in Benghazi[/b] and all you can harp on is the picture is wrong.

Picture, smithcer, Benghazi happened because Hilary claimed for months...she didn't get the memo.

Do you even care about the people that died?
Northwest · M
@lov2smile: You keep pivoting. The Benghazi tragedy, is the result of a number of things that went wrong, and involved ALL the players on the military, diplomatic, political and international sides.

To try to pin it all on Hillary is dishonest.

To make such a self-serving, dishonest statement "[u]Do you even care about the people that died?[/u]" underscores the argument I am making: you only care about scoring political points, at the expense of those who died.

To date, you refuse to apologize, for posting something, where EVERY SINGLE CLAIM IS FALSE. Keep at it though, you're only showing your true colors.

@Northwest:,

Pivoting?? You can't be serious. Liberals are the "Master" of diversion.
It's no secret Hilary is incompetent. That is the ONLY reason for the deaths in Benghazi.

A helicopter with recruits was on the way to Benghazi, when Hilary called them back because she didn't want to create the impression the America was the aggressor...that was stupid. This was all about the video...right? That's stupid again.

And you blame the military?....Wake up.
You keep harping on a stupid picture to [b]cover up Hilary's transgressions [/b]

It won't work.
Northwest · M
@lov2smile: Oh, yeah, about that helicopter. The record shows, that the military, not the diplomats, gave orders not to go in. At that point, the Ambassador, was dead, from smoke inhalation. Here's Gregory Hick's account:

[quote]A small team of Special Forces operatives was ready to fly from Tripoli to Benghazi last year after Libyan insurgents attacked the U.S. mission there, but was told it was not authorized to board the flight by regional military commanders, according to a career State Department official scheduled to testify before Congress on Wednesday.


Gregory Hicks, then deputy chief of the U.S. diplomatic mission in Libya, told investigators for the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee that U.S. officials had persuaded the Libyan government to allow the Special Forces operatives to board the rescue flight from Tripoli to Benghazi. But an officer received a phone call telling them to stand down before they left for the airport, according to excerpts of his account made available to NBC News on Monday. That conversation occurred after the U.S. ambassador to Libya and another American had been killed in the initial attack, but hours before a second attack that killed two other Americans.

Hicks quoted a Special Forces commander as telling him, "I have never been so embarrassed in my life, that a State Department officer has bigger balls than somebody in the military," referring to his willingness to authorize the mission.

U.S. military officials confirmed Hicks' account late Monday, but said the team was reviewing security measures at the Embassy and was not equipped for combat.

The Special Forces soldiers would have been the second group of U.S. government personnel to travel to Benghazi. Earlier, six Americans flew from Tripoli to Benghazi to attempt to aid the embattled personnel at the diplomatic mission.

Sources told NBC News that Hicks told investigators that the team that was denied permission to fly to Benghazi consisted of just four Special Operations soldiers and that the flight did not arrive in time for their presence to have had an impact in the fighting. Two Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens, were killed in the initial attack on the Benghazi consulate, which began just before 10 p.m. on Sept. 11. Two former Navy SEALs died in a mortar attack on a nearby U.S. diplomatic annex early on Sept. 12, shortly before the flight from Tripoli arrived.

Hicks also said that the U.S. did not seek permission from the Libyan government to scramble aircraft to respond to the attack, saying he believed that the show of airpower would have intimidated the Libyan Islamists blamed for the attack.

“I believe if we had been able to scramble a fighter or aircraft or two over Benghazi as quickly as possible after the attack commenced,” said Hicks, “I believe there would not have been a mortar attack on the annex in the morning because I believe the Libyans would have split. They would have been scared to death that we would have gotten a laser on them and killed them. “[/quote]

But, you keep on spinning.

@Northwest:

The Ambassador pleaded for [b]MONTHS[/b] for more security.
Received NOTHING!!!

Obviously, Hilary was not qualified for the job...she was totally incompetent.
Spinning? yeah right, you are the master of diversion and spinning.

You'll not win this one with your spin... People are wise to you now. Hence the new president will not be Hilary.
Northwest · M
@lov2smile: I thought she did not allow the helicopter, with a rescue team to go. So, now that I posted what actually happened, you're going with the "Ambassador pleaded for months" angle.

Let's recap: you claim that Ambassador Stevens was tortured, raped and burnt for 7 years. It did not happen.

Next, you claim that Hillary prevented a Helicopter, carrying a rescue team from taking off. It did not happen.

Next, you're going with the "Ambassador pleaded for months for more security" angle.

Stopping spinning, you're gong to get dizzy.
