Political Postings, Comments & Trolls…oh my!

I did something yesterday that I haven’t done publicly before, aside from doing so on a friend’s Facebook post.  I actually commented on a news agency’s political posting regarding Governor Christie and the George Washington Bridge lane closings.  I can officially tell you that if you have ever wondered where all the trolls are hiding…I found them.  The question was; “Do you think Christie knew and if so could this hurt his chances at being POTUS?”  My comment was this; “Whether he knew or not, still happened on his watch and he needs to be held accountable.”  I’ve seen tigers take more time to pounce.  First, take into account the numerous likes on my post.  Some people actually agreed with me.  Imagine that.  Now follow down to the “trolls”.  These are the people who lie in wait for the next available prey.  They hit my friend, who posted before me, first, then me.  Basically, what it came down to in their eyes is 1). Hillary Clinton & Pres. Obama should not be held accountable for their actions. (I’m guessing she’s referring to Benghazi.  Way to stay on topic).  2). The ever popular phrase ‘what difference does it make’,  3). It was only a road closure so no one is to blame. (tell that to the hundreds of drivers stuck in traffic for hours for no apparent reason), and last, but certainly not least, 4). Someone trying to assure me she was not nuts.  She would have done better by saying nothing.

This is only a small sampling of why this country is in the mess it’s in.  Primarily caused by people who think it’s okay for politicians to just walk away from whatever mess they, or their staff, those of whom they are responsible for, may have created and not be held accountable for their actions.  And I say this because these people will continue to put those political figures back in the saddle, over and over, no matter how many times they fall off their high horse.  And yet, these will be the same people complaining about how poor a job said cowboy is doing.  I always wonder what exactly someone sees when they support a candidate.  Is it the promise of a better life, or of the troops coming home for good, or lower taxes?  When you finally realize it’s all ploy to get you to vote for their candidate, maybe, just maybe, we’ll start to see a change.

Until then, look around you and see that things are not OK at the corral…..

President Clinton Speaks Out About Obama Promise

On Tuesday, former President Bill Clinton spoke out about the issue plaguing the American people regarding the Affordable Healthcare Act (ACA) aka Obamacare.  In an interview with the site Ozy.com, Clinton is quoted as saying “So I personally believe, even if it takes a change to the law, the president should honor the commitment the federal government made to those people and let them keep what they got,”

Now before all you Clinton fans go running off waving your flags, let’s look at it this way.  Did President Clinton do this for the good of the American people or the good of Hillary‘s probable bid for the presidency in 2016? Some analysts contribute Obama‘s win to Clinton, siting his ability to bring people in. But let’s face it, when it comes down to it, who gets the knife in the back?  Fact; whomever takes over the White House in three years will inherit the past president’s messes.  Every incoming president gets saddled with the previous administrations short comings.  There’s no way around it.  However, in this matter, Obama needs to correct this mess to save his own presidency.  Bill’s just wondering what it would be like to be first lady.

Healthcare insurers have been rapidly sending out cancellation notices.  To rectify this, they would have to backtrack, back in the files they backed out, and reset policy holders.  Can you imagine what a mess this could create?  Providing this option takes place before the end of the year, the only thing the insurers would have to do is unflag those files currently awaiting cancellation as of 12/31/13.  A simple fix.  But Obama has to make the call now.  Waiting any longer will  set an even worse scenario for the healthcare of this country.

Healthcare.gov presently has this notation at the top of the site.  If you’re an insomniac, this won’t work for you:

The Health Insurance Marketplace online application isn’t available from approximately 1 a.m. to 5 a.m. EST daily while we make improvements. Additional down times may be possible as we work to make things better. The rest of the site and the Marketplace call center remain available during these hours.

While the president’s press secretary says the White House is looking for ways to offer relief to some, the only real relief is to cancel the plan until a time where it can be implemented, carried through properly AND be affordable for everyone.

Benghazi – Still looking for truth one year later

Do you wonder, as have I, that all the controversy surrounding the healthcare web site isn’t just more fluff to cover up other happenings in Washington?  On Sunday, South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham said he would continue to block all of Obama’s nominees for executive branch positions until he gets the answers he’s looking for regarding the September 11, 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya, that left US Ambassador Chris Stevens and three others dead.

Many questions remain unanswered.  Interviews with survivors are as harrowing as the actual attacks.  Those who witnessed the events, and made it out alive, remember seeing Stevens lying there, dead.  They remember asking the government for aid, that things were unstable in the area.  And they remember nothing being done.

Testifying about the attacks, then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is best remembered for her statement “What difference at this point does it make?”.  This is in line with Kathleen Sebelius’s comment of “whatever” when asked if the president was responsible for the healthcare debacle.  Again, America was lied to.

In an interview with Fox News, Senator Graham said, ““I don’t think it’s over the top to find out what happened to four dead Americans, I don’t think it’s over the top to talk to survivors. The State Department interviewed these survivors.”

Why haven’t we heard this before?  Why is there still such silence regarding these attacks? President Obama & Hillary Clinton stood with their hands over their hearts, next to flag draped coffins, and continued to push the story about a video being the cause of the attacks.  Tweets  from CBS’s  60 Minutes, in fact, point to information leading up to the 9/11/12 attacks, stating, “Prior to the attack, Ambassador Stevens approved a cable to DC that said: “The al Qaeda flag has been spotted…flying over govt bldgs” also stating that a security official warned Ambassador Stevens, ““You are going to get attacked in #Benghazi,” three months prior to the actual event.

In an administration that claimed transparency throughout the Obama campaigns, we simply seem to be facing more lies and more cover ups, rather than the honesty the American people are looking for.  We have to wonder, what else are they not telling us?
