  Well at least we know we can rely on your predictions...Oh wait....:laugh:

  And he will still testify in the coming weeks.

  
  I was just asking the question.
  
  And the question was not whether he would testify, the question was whether the government would look to extort favorable testimony from him in return for suppressing his personal problem.

  Shame on you for even asking such a question. Never question the benevolence of government. It only seeks to deliver truth to the people. The corrupt, self centered, and greedy only reside in big corporations. Big government is your friend.

  And we are moments away from another news conference wherein the complicit media will continue to run interference for the obama regime and soak up their message like dutiful little soldiers. What an insidious little group of grovelers.

  The General MUST be a liberal, conservatives are extremely pro family value and would NEVER cheat on their wives.

  Well you know the old saying: Republicans are evil and hate everyone that doesn't look like them. Democrats are stupid and can't even agree with themselves.
  
  The latter has been proven true over the last couple of days. At what point is this incompetence intolerable?

  gosh lets see January 2001-January 2009 that was intolerable incompetence.
• Manhattan Buckeye

  Yeah, that was intolerable. We actually had sub 6% unemployment and economic growth. I forgot how horrible it was to be economically progressive.
  
  gosh a ruddies give me more of that '09-'12 economy!
  
  Idiocy.

  And it hasn't gotten any better. A robust recovery should have been a slam dunk, but Obama keeps kicking it in the nuts. Then he looks over and sees the poor and middle class doubled over in pain, and his solution is to keep kicking the economy in the nuts. Still doubled over in pain, so more kicking. One wonders at what point he makes the connection.

  gosh a ruddies 2 wars conducted incompetently, one disaster relief conducted incompetently, one collapsed financial system caused by incompetence, and an economy pushed into the most rapid fall in 70 years because of governmental incompetence, and all this mess handed off to his successor, our First African American President.

  obviously you are a victim of selective memory loss, a well know disorder among tea partying republicans. The election of our first African American President was just too great a shock to your biases.

  no, you supply the commentary of those who benefited from the policies that gave us an increasingly a mal distribution of wealth, stratified class system, disappearing middle class. And now Romney defeat has stopped you from getting more of the same.

  LMAO, party-planner Jill Kelley is an honorary consul-general and thought she was entitled to inviolability and diplomatic immunity?

  The growing wealth gap is a global, so you might want to re-think which policies are helping and hurting because the issue is hardly confined to the US.
  
  And I'm not a 1%er. I aspire to be, it's too bad the 47% apparently don't aspire to be productive tax payers.
  
  Like I said, keep rooting for Obama to kick the economy in the nuts. It appears you enjoy the feeling.

  A tax policy started with Reagan, support for outsourcing, no serious attempt to provide post secondary education, deregulation of corporation. All helping to stratify our nation.

  Same thing is happening all over the world - I didn't know Reagan was supreme ruler of Earth. News to me.
