That is the plan. It is so easy to forget all the things that happen. I remember with Clinton, everyday was some new crazy event or new crazy program. Do you remember when Clinton wanted to sell all the oil in the strategic petroleum reserve and use the money to fund a new social program. At the time oil was $10 a barrel and it was silly to have all that oil.

Day Six: The Patraeus scandal worsens. The mistress apparently gave a speech in Denver before the election where she said the CIA thought the attack was to free CIA prisoners in the CIA annex in Benghazi. She also mentioned the CIA requesting some super elite new presidential military force I have never heard of. The CIA runs prisons in foreign countries outside of Afghanistan, where they hold citizens of that country against their will? Apparently this is why they don't like people with security clearances to have mistresses.

Interestingly enough, that was a stab at Bush.

Day Seven: Petraeus story continues to build now with two women, two generals and an FBI agent caught up.

In shooting news, Since Obama's reelection the Arizona Forest Service is now setting up check points and stopping vehicles and questioning the occupants about shooting. Supposedly they want them to police their rounds as spent shells are becoming a problem on federal land. (most of Arizona) Some one pointed out that trash left by economic immigrants is not a problem on federal lands, but spent rounds are. http://www.infowars.com/drivers-questio ... heckpoint/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Smugglers are often dangerous but middle class citizens with degrees and jobs rarely shoot at the police.

Day Eight: Patraeus story is in feeding frenzy mode, but mainstream media excludes Obama from conversation. Patraeus's future testimony on Benghazi is not mentioned. http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/put ... 63287.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; With flexibility insured Putin will host Obama in Russia.

Obama holds his first press conference since the election. He admits the White House is responsible for Susan Rice appearing on TV and saying the Benghazi attack was a protest gone violent over a YouTube video. That apparently was the best information she was given. McCain has called for "Watergate" type hearings.

Obama gave a press conference this afternoon. The market, that was already down about 80 points today, dropped another 100 between his conference and the market's close. (about 2 hours.)

Day Eight contd: Fema sells 900 shelter trailers for $3800 ea. at auction just months before the super storm. Used once, cost $25,000 most built in 2008, so not the Katrina trailers. Now needs to buy more. Many were in the New York state area. http://washingtonexaminer.com/fema-sold ... KQZzYWhA-M" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

And yes thanks for reminding me about the stock market. I though about selling, as if Romney won, it would be buy on rumor, sell on news. If Obama won, well Obama won. I didn't, so now no new FN PS90 under the tree for me.

Now that the election is over, the first weekly unemployment claims report is in.

What a surprise! After claims had been falling slightly thru 2011, and bouncing around 375K in 2012, suddenly after the election is over, they jump from an expected 375K to a whopping 439K.

Does the Department of Labor have a recipe for the books they're cooking? :headscratch

(A "Book Cookbook"? :mrgreen: )

They're getting close to finding out who told Rice to say what she did on 5 appearances long after everyone knew it was a Terror Attack.

The big question is "Who Changed the CIA's Talking Points" from Terror to Spontaneous?

I am not in the Senate, House, White House, CIA or even the FBI and I can tell you who changed the Talking Points:
David Axlerod convinced the Prez that it would be in his best interest to hide the truth until after the election.

Why no one else can come to this simple conclusion baffles me! :banghead:

Ah we'll that would be because you are smarter than all the presidents horses and all the presidents men. I sometimes think "do these dingbats really think we are this stupid", but them Obama won so maybe a good chunk of us are.
