May 10, 2013: Benghazi [1:31]
Thursday, May 9, 2013, was the first opportunity for reporters to ask questions of White House spokesman Jay Carney following the explosive hearings on Wednesday about the White House’s cover up following the Benghazi terror attack last September.
The reporters assigned to cover the White House saw fit to ask Mr. Carney only ONE QUESTION about the hearings. And the question, at the very end of the briefing, did not address the actual substance of the hearings at all:
Q. Ambassador Pickering has told some news outlets that he’s willing to testify in front of the House Oversight Committee. Is there any expectation from the White House that he will? And furthermore, Dick Cheney was on the Hill this morning and he was talking to folks on the Hill, and he said that Secretary Clinton should be subpoenaed if necessary. Any response first on Pickering, and then secondly to Vice President Cheney’s comments?
We The People depend on these journalists to help us keep an eagle eye on our top elected officials.
So what did they decide was MORE IMPORTANT than a White House COVER UP up involving a TERRORIST attack on a U.S. EMBASSY that left four Americans DEAD?
Q Jay, speaking also about the Senate, Republicans have submitted some 1,000 questions to Gina McCarthy and the EPA and there appear to be some delays in that process. Are you concerned about the nomination — about her nomination specifically? And what is the reason for the EPA not answering those questions?
Q McConnell and Boehner today sent a letter to the President saying they’ll be declining to recommend appointments to IPAB. Is there any concern that public confidence in IPAB will suffer because there won’t be any Republican input?
Q Jay, is the White House preparing for a conflict with congressional Republicans over the debt ceiling this summer? And do you expect that tax reform would be a part of a deal over that at all?
Q When is the President meeting with entrepreneurs and also the local residents? Is it before the tour, after the tour? The schedule wasn’t very clear.

Saw this on Angelaisms’ twitter feed:
Remember, boys and girls, until this week @joenbc was right there with the rest of the media snickering at conservatives RE: IRS, Benghazi.
On the plus side, if opportunists like @JoeNBC are switching sides, that’s indicative of a shift in power. So yay.

Saw this on twitter – “The suggestion that anybody in my team…would play politics or mislead [on #Benghazi] when we lost four of our own is offensive.” – Obama
Me – The possibility that anyone would play politics or mislead on Benghazi is MUCH MORE OFFENSIVE, you schmuck. That’s why we want it investigated.
