Interviewing Hillary Clinton, Robin Roberts leaves the big question unasked

This brings back memories of when she was on the Today Show discussing her husband's affair with Lewinsky :

LAUER: But you're probably the most credible defender of the president at this time? 

CLINTON: Well, I probably know him better than anybody alive in the world. So I would hope I'd be the most credible defender. 

LAUER: James Carville, who you know...

CLINTON: Great human being...

LAUER: I'm sure you like him, especially at this time. He has said this is war between the president and Kenneth Starr. 

You have said, I understand, to some close friends that this is the last great battle and that one side or the other is going down here. 

CLINTON: Well, I don't know if I've been that dramatic. That would sound like a good line from a movie. But I do believe that this is a battle. 

I mean, look at the very people who are involved in this. They have popped up in other settings. 

This is—the great story here for anybody willing to find it and write about it and explain it is this vast right-wing conspiracy that has been conspiring against my husband since the day he announced for president. A few journalists have kind of caught on to it and explained it. But it has not yet been fully revealed to the American public. And actually, you know, in a bizarre sort of way, this may do it. 

Later he asks:

LAUER: Let me take you and your husband out of this for a second. Bill and Hillary Clinton aren't involved in this story. If an American president had an adulterous liaison in the White House and lied to cover it up, should the American people ask for his resignation?

CLINTON: Well, they should certainly be concerned about it.

LAUER: Should they ask for his resignation? 

CLINTON: Well, I think that—if all that were proven true, I think that would be a very serious offense. That is not going to be proven true. I think we're going to find some other things. And I think that when all of this is put into context, and we really look at the people involved here, look at their motivations and look at their backgrounds, look at their past behavior, some folks are going to have a lot to answer for.

Interviewing Hillary Clinton, Robin Roberts leaves the big question unasked

Julio Cortez/AP Hillary Clinton, left, with Robin Roberts during the interview Wednesday at Philanthropy New York's annual meeting 

Not only did she bury the lead, but this "Good Morning America" star didn't even bother to dig it up.

Just a day after Monica Lewinsky released her most detailed account of her relationship with former President Bill Clinton and its fallout in a wide-ranging essay in the June issue of Vanity Fair magazine, "GMA" host Robin Roberts blew an opportunity to follow up on it with Hillary Clinton — a key player in the scandal that threatened to bring down her husband's presidency.

Lewinsky, in her essay, labeled the former First Lady's "tendency" to blame the "other woman" as "troubling."

Roberts interviewed Clinton at a charity event in New York Wednesday, with ABC airing portions, but opted to ignore Lewinsky's comments. An ABC News rep denied that Clinton had asked Roberts to steer clear of the Lewinsky essay.

"There were no restrictions, and Robin was free to ask whatever she wanted," network spokeswoman Heather Riley said. "Having prepared a question on Monica, as the live interview unfolded with the former secretary of state, Robin made the decision to focus on Benghazi and the kidnapping of hundreds of young schoolgirls in Nigeria."

In her Vanity Fair piece, Lewinsky indicated that she is dreading Clinton's potential run for the White House in 2016.

"Despite what some headlines will falsely report about this piece, this is not about Me versus the Clintons," Lewinsky wrote.

"In 2008, when Hillary was running for president, I remained virtually reclusive."

But "when I hear of Hillary's prospective candidacy, I cannot help but fear the next wave of paparazzi, the next wave of 'Where is she now?' stories, the next reference to me in Fox News' coverage of the primaries," she wrote.

Interviewing Hillary Clinton, Robin Roberts leaves the big question unasked

What a liar!

Bigots 'big reason' he left GOP, Florida's Crist says

He left because he was getting trounced by Rubio. He discovered "racism" in the party after the polls showed him trailing Rubio by 20 points. What a lying piece of crap!   

----------------------------------------------------- 

Democrat Charlie Crist is offering up a new and inflammatory reason he left the GOP: Too many Republicans oppose President Barack Obama because he's black.

Crist's remarks, made on Tuesday in an interview with Fusion's Jorge Ramos, instantly drew rebukes from Republicans who said the party-switching former governor was playing the race card.

But Crist said the bigotry against Obama was a "big reason" for his decision to leave the party.

"I couldn't be consistent with myself and my core beliefs, and stay with a party that was so unfriendly toward the African-American president — I'll just go there," Crist said. "I was a Republican and I saw the activists and what they were doing. It was intolerable to me."

Ramos said Crist left the GOP to run as an independent because he was losing the 2010 Senate Republican primary to Marco Rubio. But Crist denied it.

Crist has made race an on-again and off-again theme as he campaigns to get his old job back as a Democrat, his third party affiliation. When he left the GOP four years ago, he never mentioned race.

"Being a flip-flopper is bad enough, but playing the race card to win over voters is pitiful," said Izzy Santa, Republican National Committee spokeswoman.

Crist, saying he was "liberated as a Democrat," also bashed the GOP for being too inflexible and for appearing to be "anti-women, anti-immigrant, anti-minority (and) anti-gay."

What a liar!

What we know and what we don't

News conference right after the Benghazi attack on September 11, 2012.

(If video won't load click post title)

Video 67

"Make no mistake we will work with the Libyan government to bring to justice the killers who attacked our people"

It's been almost 2 years now, and even though various network reporters have  interviewed some of the perpetrators, (some even bragged about it), there has not been one arrest except for the guy who shot the video.

Why is that?

To this day we don't know Barry's whereabouts when the Benghazi attack unfolded.

Later Barry, with the help of the media, was able to take the IRS scandal, Rosen wiretapping, and Benghazi mix them all together and rebrand them as "phony scandals" . Of course the media sat by again and did nothing. What's phony about 4 dead Americans? Everyday more leaks come out solidifying this was a cover up from the get go. How could we as a nation allow 4 Americans to die without lifting a finger? 

Probably the most telling was this:

The very next day after the attack he flew to Las Vegas for a fundraiser. What does that say about the man?

What we know and what we don't

Bet this is the case in the other "56" states

Only half of Georgia Obamacare enrollees have paid premiums

Another issue for Barry is claiming 8 million have enrolled in ObamaCare. How many of those purported 8 million are comprised of the 6 million who had their insurance cancelled?

Do the math.

The premise of ObamaCare was to cover the 35 million uninsured. Add the 6 million who were cancelled puts us at 41 million minus 8 million who signed up gives us a total of 39 million uninsured and the employer mandate hasn't kicked in yet!

------------------------------------------------------------------

If you believe the numbers coming out of the Obama administration, some 222,000 people in Georgia "enrolled" into health plans on the federal Obamacare exchange. Only they didn't. Turns out that about half of those people have actually paid their insurance premiums:

Georgia insurers received more than 220,000 applications for health coverage in the Affordable Care Act's exchange as of the official federal deadline of March 31, state officials said Wednesday.

Insurance Commissioner Ralph Hudgens, though, said premiums have been received for only 107,581 of those policies, which cover 149,465 people.

"Many Georgians completed the application process by the deadline, but have yet to pay for the coverage," Hudgens said in a statement Wednesday.

March 31 was the official deadline for individuals to get insurance coverage or face a financial penalty under the ACA. Yet because of the deluge of last-minute shoppers, federal officials relaxed the rules for those who reported having trouble with the exchange, and gave them into this week to sign up.

Given that extra time, there have presumably been more Georgians both signing up and paying for their premiums in April. They would not be included in the figures released Wednesday.

Not to worry. Look for Barry to deduct the premium from their paycheck... just like SS.

Bet this is the case in the other "56" states
