Who can even fathom what has aides to this bunch terrified, so blase are they about human life, about the suffering they cause, about the molestation they routinely engage in by way of governmental bureaucracies and agencies and regulations and taxes and fees, about the racial and ethnic and economic division they stoke as casually as they breathe.
If I had to guess? It’s the potential whistleblower testimony that will tie ObamaCo to the supplying of weapons to Islamist radicals — even as the same Administration spent time and enormous energy domestically trying to take our (meager) weapons away.
But I don’t suspect that revelation would have them “terrified.” After all, they’d probably just say that Ambassador Stephenson was a rogue agent, and that State and the White House had covered up his tracks to protect his reputation and legacy and shield his family from repercussion from the anti-Islamic bigots that are sure to start burning down mosques here in the US. Now that it’s no longer possible to do so, fuck it: He did it, not us!
So. I got nothing. Any guesses?

more like 117 shoes by my count
The report that any White House person is terrified simply defies what we see before our eyes everyday. It’s possible, I suppose, that unseen or in hiding, someone there may be terrified, but the conduct of the place doesn’t register any such phenomenon that we can observe directly. A more unjustifiably arrogant crowd one should hope never to see. Michelle waved goodbye to her terrors in the Spring of 2007. She had them then, notably, but hasn’t since.
And if found to be terrified on the inside of the circle within the building, what would the terror stricken striver’s co-workers think? How about “Traitor! Sell-out!”, “Shut Up! Here’s a money bonus!”
But I don’t suspect that revelation would have them “terrified.” After all, they’d probably just say that Ambassador Stephenson was a rogue agent,
Or cite Iran/Contra and wrap themselves in the flag.
I think if there is any such revelation in the wings, it’s not immediately related to Benghazi, F&F or the IRS/DOJ abuses — except insofar as it is another Obama scandal.
The reason they’re terrified, then, would be that it’s the one straw too many, the one that finally is too much to maintain the Unicorn Prince illusion even to the Obamaphone set.
In similar news, some of the folks at David Thompson’s place think that Obama might be the only virgin in the whorehouse.
I set ’em straight, of course.
the one that finally is too much to maintain the Unicorn Prince illusion even to the Obamaphone set.
They already made the mistake of spying on the press: they must have betrayed the unions or something.
Or cite Iran/Contra and wrap themselves in the flag.
Yup. This is what I think will happen also.
If I could imagine an act that could drive a wedge between the little god-king and his low-information base, that’s where I’d be looking.
Maybe he hates the Twilight books. Or he listens to Justin Bieber.
Or he finds Honey Boo Boo to be high culture.
I think it’s more or less a given at this stage that weapons were going where they shouldn’t oughta.
“so blase are they about human life, about the suffering they cause”
Ah, but it’s those other people dying and suffering. The bitter clingers who aren’ t even people to them, really. Just speedbumps in the road to Utopia. Statistics.
Not them personally. It makes a difference.
Not them personally. It makes a difference.
Those were Michelle’s qualms at the time. She learned to forget them.
Other unanswered questions: what exactly was the Magickal Unicorn Prince doing while Benghazi was going down? Doing something that he shouldn’t oughta is my guess. They’ve been incredibly evasive about this.
Sharyl Atkisson reporting that her computers have been compromised:
http://www.politico.com/blogs/media/2013/05/sharyl-attkissons-computers-compromised-164456.html
Gosh, so many options….My guess is something to do with the extent to which they are gathering info on US citizens, maybe using the super-Google assisted db that was created for Obama’s campaign. Or maybe it’s the db that the IRS is putting together that merges info from other agencies – citizenship, criminal records, medical records, internet usage, etc. – that will result in unprecedented surveillance of citizens.
The IRS questionnaires to the Tea Party groups seemed more like opposition research – who attending training, who interned and where do they work now, what is your relationship to other named conservative organizations, etc. Maybe there was direct interaction between the IRS and the Obama campaign or DHS (Napolitano has been very vocal about naming the Tea Party-type activists as the biggest threat to national security). There seemed to be an awful lot of collusion amongst agencies once a target was found, which could indicate a much greater effort to silence citizens who are vocal against the administration.
Should I be fitted for a tinfoil hat now?
her computers have been compromised
Ha! She thought she lived somewhere else. People do need to catch up. This ain’t that.
unprecedented surveillance of citizens.
We need to clean up our language, if only so Sharyls and such will catch on.
Subjects. Not citizens.
Eventually I’m going to learn how to spell Attkisson. Sorry, Sharyl.
A commenter at Politico made an interesting point: it might be something bad enough that not even the Dems in the Senate could hold their noses and vote against removal from office (which would have to be pretty damned bad, of course).
SBP – It’s not just the bitter clingers Obama doesn’t care about. Obama didn’t seem all that concerned about his own people in Libya. Chris Stevens was a Democrat who totally bought into Obama’s foreign policy vision and was working to implement it. And Obama couldn’t be bothered to protect or rescue him.
This:
…along with this:
Or did State have anything to do with it?
Oooh, I have another one: the 2012 election was compromised. All of that IRS activity was to suppress groups that would be running ads against Obama in 2012 and to intimidate Romney donors. What if this was just part of his re-election strategy, and that there were other kinds of OFA shenanigans, say related to organized voter fraud in key precincts (maybe with the help of some local Democrat politicians & AGs), that ensured Obama’s re-election? Stealing an election would be pretty major, right?
OK, now I really need to find some tinfoil…
Might be something to do with F&F, or even the HHS fundraising scam.
This is a target-rich environment.
This one is pure speculation. Chicago has had it with his lazy ass, and Bill Daley is going to talk. Maybe Rahm too.
Obama killed Elvis?
Obama killed Elvis?
Oh no. Hells no. Elvis licked one-day-old baby Obazm’s asshole clean. In blue blue blue democrat Hawaii; led there with a couple other guys by a spectacular shining guide star. And then anointed the baby bungho with Frankincense oil. For the posterity.
Stevens’ mission in Benghazi, they will say, was to buy back Stinger missiles from al-Qaeda groups [that were] issued to them by the State Department, not by the CIA.
I need to rewrite Simon’s stuff just to make sure I get it:
The Stingers were issued to al-Qaeda by the State Department.
CIA had balked; Hillary said “do it anyway.” Hillary thought that the insurgents were… whom?
Then it turns out that the insurgents are al-Qaeda, so whoopsie!
And because al-Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood are like Bloods and Crips, and the O-ministration is in bed with MB, they really made a dog’s breakfast out of it — not because they armed enemies of the U.S. but because they armed the MB’s enemies.
Were the recovered Stingers going to Syria via Turkey?
Why was Stevens dining with Turkish representatives?
And what was Obama doing during all this: their efforts to utterly distance him from events means that he was up to his neck in Scandalous Behavior.
I’m waiting for Jay Carney to mention aliens or UFOs, something about Area 51. There’s a strong demographic for that sort of nonsense.
Why abandon Stevens? Why not do the Big Rescue Thing when the American ambassador is victimized by Libyan thugs on the anniversary of 9/11, because attacking us on 9/11 is What They Do?
Was Stevens really that hard to keep quiet?
No, it’s something else. It’s David and Uriah without Bathsheba.
There’s a strong demographic for that sort of nonsense.
Even THEY aren’t that gullible.
I agree, that it is probably that “Smart Power” provided surface to air weapons to the Libyan rebels …which turned out to be AQ, which turns out will spread them around the ME or further. Once a non military aircraft is targeted, Hillary will no longer be able to use or justify her “what difference at this point does it make” line.
something else.
That’s standing in plain sight. It’s policy, or as someone else said once upon a time, it’s
errorturtles all the way down.Maybe they needed to scrub the place before any Dudley Do-Rights showed up and started nosing around.
Why do you hate all the Muslims, Islamophobe?
“Why not do the Big Rescue Thing when the American ambassador is victimized by Libyan thugs”
Magickal Unicorn Prince was “unavailable”, and they don’t want to say where he actually was/what he was actually doing. It’s a given that any military operation of that type is going to feature Magickal Unicorn Prince on the tube demonstrating that he’s IN COMMAND, but they couldn’t arrange that, for whatever reason.
Here’s a speculation: the L.A. Times or whoever has gotten fed up and is threatening to release that video of the little god-king praising that jihadi guy.
NPR whore Ari Shapiro tweets:

New Journolist marching orders, no doubt.
Shapiro’s probably upset that he wasn’t invited to the party.
Hubs has a theory that the Prince of Lies is a drunk of the falling down variety and that factors into the “where the president was is irrelevant” talk and that his
cabalinner circle knows all about this and keeps mum.Maybe he was chooming.
Heh. “Prince Chooming.”
Drunk, coked-out, engaged in some form of sexual activity that not even Nancy Pelosi or Dianne Feinstein would be down with.
Choose one or more of the above.
I like it.
Obama was whacked out on drugs (a habit “Ulsterman” has asserted) or he was off somewhere unknown with a “friend.” Was Reggie Love in DC that night?
There’s also the speculation that this was a planned hostage taking to set up an exchange for releasing the blind sheik.
I think Barry is asexual or metrosexual. He certainly doesn’t act like the missus and he have it goin’ on.
Well…over at HillBuzz they’ve covered the rumors of Chicago bathhouse sightings and Rev. Wright’s down-low men’s group. There’s Obama’s usual golf partners (young male staffers, Sam Kass) and how it’s always an all day trip. And then there’s former “body man” Reggie Love, who started working for Obama when he was a Senator and Michelle remained in Chicago with the kids. Let’s just say it wouldn’t be all that shocking if Obama came out.
#ObamaScandalMovies
Watch for the lame Progg attempt to redeem the hashtag, and see how many other frustrated Proggs retweet it.
In the vain attempt to not be pwned — again — by the starboard side’s hashtag prowess.
Does anyone think that Obama would be seriously hurt by coming out? People have been programmed to rejoice in this kind of news, and never mind the adultery angle.
engaged in some form of sexual activity that not even Nancy Pelosi or Dianne Feinstein would be down with
“Palomino! Palomino!”
“Does anyone think that Obama would be seriously hurt by coming out?”
If it was just coming out as gay, probably not.
That’s why I specified something that not even Nancy Pelosi could get behind.
Hillbuzz’s source on the bathhouse thing is dead and was of questionable character while he was living. I can’t say I would be surprised if he hits for both teams, but I really do think he’s just not all that interested in men or women.
As for his friends and golf partners all being guys: he’s an Arab and a Muslim They have no use for women except to provide some offspring. He has two kids, like a good progg, and now he’s free to ignore the missus.
“I think Barry is asexual or metrosexual.”
I think it’s something pretty far off the beaten path.
I’m not going to ask, Spies.
Let’s just say I wouldn’t let him babysit my kids, if I had any.
He had sex with the dog before he ate it. #ScrewedThePooch
I was thinking tots, as well Spies. He was raised up by pedophile “Uncle Frank” after all.
Come to think of it, in many of the photo ops with kids, he’ll have a chubby little black boy with him. He was a chubby little boy, so maybe there’s something to that?
Yeah, I take sites like HillBuzz and Ulsterman with a grain of salt, but there is something “off” about Obama.
Still think there’s a reason why we don’t yet know his whereabouts on the evening of 9/11.
Right, leigh. “Uncle Frank”.

Oh, that’s nothing more than the little god-king surrounding himself with things that remind him of himself. When told that his administration is a house of mirrors, Teh Won replies “Don’t I wish!”
Found the quote from Maxine Waters (h/t Pat Dollard) about Obama’s super db from back in February: http://tinyurl.com/bcy3wu6
“The President has put in place an organization with the kind of database that no one has ever seen before in life,” Representative Maxine Waters told Roland Martin on Monday.
“That’s going to be very, very powerful,” Waters said. “That database will have information about everything on every individual on ways that it’s never been done before and whoever runs for President on the Democratic ticket has to deal with that. They’re going to go down with that database and the concerns of those people because they can’t get around it. And he’s [President Obama] been very smart. It’s very powerful what he’s leaving in place.”
Also found at GatewayPundit: Sen. Enzi mentioned at the IRS hearing that the IRS had asked churches to provide lists of their parishioners.

Then we have the piece from yesterday on Raymond Maxwell:
Could Maxwell be one of the diplomats mentioned in the PJM piece? If so could the meeting at the WH with all the little Journalistas be one where as much dirt, true or false, is to be released before any of the diplomats come forward to testify?
It is strange that just as he was appointed to be DAS, Libya alone was “carved out of his portfolio” and given over to his two higher ups to deal with, Jones and Dibble.
Hillary’s scapegoat for Benghazi speaks
Maybe Holder has communicated that he won’t be going down alone when the next shoe drops.
Or maybe somebody finally found that missing birth certificate!
I’m of the mind that Drudge’s guys are probably getting wood over something that isn’t necessarily going to give everyone else pause.
That said, what DoJ did to Obama’s popularity among mainstream media and other traditional support bases is something that it is breathtaking to behold.
Everything is on the table.
Prince Chooming
Spleef.
Everything is on the table after six
Hillary has a dick and Obama doesn’t…read all about it on TMZ tomorrow
good thing she’s not asian then or she’d have to beat meghan’s coward daddy off with a stick
Iowahawk on joshtpm.
The only thing that could terrify Obama aids is if, on the night Benghazi happened, Obama had some sort of complete mental breakdown…as in, curled up in a corner, thumb in his mouth…and it happened in front of several people who will not allow themselves to be used as scapegoats.
Obama is a front man that was groomed for his position years ago. (anyone else wonder why, as a member of the Illinois legislature, Obama voted “present” so many times?) Yeah, I’m calling Manchurian. Anyway, and I cannot point to any specific instances, but there were a couple of times during the election that, to me, looked like Obama was trying to throw the election.
Obama is, more than likely, not mentally tough enough, nor smart enough, for the job or the pressure that goes with his job. Hell, Obama knows nothing about work, anyway, coddled as he was throughout his life.
People can call Biden an idiot all they want, but the man has survived a lot of years in Washington. Anyone want to guess if Biden is opportunistic enough to see if he can force Obama out?
This Douglas Shulman fellow isn’t doing himself or his democrat friends any favors.
Nonsense. How would anybody notice?

Oh, some waaaaay OT stuff that might be of interest, or not…
Won’t link the little left-twerp’s site. You know how to find it, right?
that is a very very distorted account of what happened Mr. serr8d
You are correct, ‘feets.
But underlying those undeniably distorted lefty overlays are unavoidable truths: that someone who should’ve known better when these things were carefully explained to him, went about his ‘business as usual: conducting overzealous prosecutorial (mis)conducts.
I’d liken his now-characteristic behaviors to walking into a minefield blindfolded whilst whistling Anna Karenina.
Prosecutorial discretion does no good for an indiscreet prosecutor.
