Samantha Power is but the latest.<br /><br />Ms. Power is replacing Susan Rice as U.N. Ambassador, a job of little consequence but for an impassioned human rights activist like Ms. Power. Fine. Yet Ms. Rice was paraded on the Sunday news programs in September (less than 2 months before the election) to present a preposterous explanation of what happened in Benghazi. <br /><br />Since then, we have had a number of other scandals pop up. Strangely, these scandals all surfaced at once... one week, I believe. And now we have the NSA surveillance scandal with the PRISM system, which really doesn't seem new. I guess the Administration is upset that it leaked, but the Obamatrons are upset about every leak that doesn't make the President look like Superman.<br /><br />Consider that the IRS scandal broke because of a planted question at the ABA conference. Kind of an odd way for a scandal to break. Then the AP scandal was uncovered around the same time, based on information released by the Justice Department. For all their vaunted elitism and self-congratulation, the mainstream media didn't discover any of these stories. Isn't that interesting?<br /><br />What is most curious to me is that the scandals broke when the Benghazi investigations were just heating up. And the other scandals appear to be self-inflicted. And all these scandals seem to line-up around protecting the President and his re-election chances. <br /><br />Look, I don't know a ton about Benghazi. What I know is that 4 people were pretty much left to die, and that it was the first death of a U.S. ambassador since the late-1970s. That seems like a pretty big deal to me in this scary world we live in. The Administration seems very evasive and uncomfortable when talking about Benghazi, especially about where the President was and what he did about it (which is nothing). We hear all about Hillary and her handling of the whole thing, but something seems fishy to me about the President's role and the whole roll-out of the damage control and the focus on secrecy. Then we get all these unforced scandals through timed leaks. <br /><br />I'm just sharing this here to elicit any thoughts y'all have. It just doesn't make a lot of sense. And Ms. Power's taking over at the U.N. for Ms. Rice seems to bring this all back for me. Is Ms. Power going to be on a bunch of Sunday news programs when the next Middle East problem arises? It just seems odd. If Benghazi suffered from botched intelligence and whatever else, fine. But that needn't elicit the reaction that it gets from the Administration. It seems like Benghazi is the thing they're most afraid of, for whatever reason. <br /><br />Thoughts?<br /><br />Tip<br /><br />P.S.: And it seems even more interesting to me that the President spoke at the Ohio State commencement on May 5 saying that people should ignore the voices talking about tyranny or an all-powerful government. I believe the IRS scandal broke with a planted question by IRS leaders on May 10. And then Obama said he read about it in the news. Seems fishy to me.

Apparently, the dual suicide had something to do with the fact that the woman was in pain... but I don't know whether she was suffering physical or mental pain. I don't know whether or not she was terminally ill or chronically depressed? I think that this is going to take some investigating. For now, I am stumped.Stuart Schneidermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12784043736879991769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-71817622354328895672013-06-07T06:27:32.253-07:002013-06-07T06:27:32.253-07:00Stuart, you probably have already heard about this...Stuart, you probably have already heard about this;<br /><br />http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/World/2013/06/07/20880766.htmlLeo Gnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-87554937502341294552013-06-06T14:03:32.738-07:002013-06-06T14:03:32.738-07:00I've never understood what people at the Unite...I've never understood what people at the United Nations do all day.
