Ben Rhodes...the new liar's Rice

Get a load of this bullshit. And you trust Obama to protect you?

"And we’re going to continue to do that. That will be a focus of discussion here in Turkey. With respect to refugees, we have the most extensive security vetting that we have ever had to deal with Syrian refugees coming into the United States that involves not just the Department of Homeland Security and the State Department, but also our intelligence community, the National Counterterrorism Center, so that anybody who comes to the United States, we are carefully vetting against all of our information."

Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes claims proper vetting procedures and databases are in place for Syrian refugees contradicting sworn FBI congressional testimony that sufficient databases don't exist.

Just shows how stupid those governing us are.

No way should any Syrian refugees be brought here. Guess Obama and his posse missed the deaths in Paris.

Some of that was orchestrated by home grown French Muslims. You know. Muslims France let into their country.

After seeing that all weekend one would think those idiots who run our country would catch a damned clue.

If it can happen in France it sure as hell can happen here.

Unless something changes it will happen here...and it will rest solely on Obama's shoulders

I wonder how many of our tax dollars will be used to pay for those ten thousand refugee's??

Honestly, we are governed by fucking morons.

Ben Rhodes Isn't a Master Manipulator, the Media Wants to be Manipulated

The mediasphere is boiling after the New York Times ran a piece on Ben Rhodes, Obama's foreign policy guru, a failed writer who openly boasted about manipulating the media. It was full of quotes like this...

Rhodes singled out a key example to me one day, laced with the brutal contempt that is a hallmark of his private utterances. “All these newspapers used to have foreign bureaus,” he said. “Now they don’t. They call us to explain to them what’s happening in Moscow and Cairo. Most of the outlets are reporting on world events from Washington. The average reporter we talk to is 27 years old, and their only reporting experience consists of being around political campaigns. That’s a sea change. They literally know nothing.”..

...

In the spring of last year, legions of arms-control experts began popping up at think tanks and on social media, and then became key sources for hundreds of often-clueless reporters. “We created an echo chamber,” he admitted, when I asked him to explain the onslaught of freshly minted experts cheerleading for the deal. “They were saying things that validated what we had given them to say.”

...

For much of the past five weeks, Rhodes has been channeling the president’s consciousness into what was imagined as an optimistic, forward-looking final State of the Union. Now, from the flat screens, a challenge to that narrative arises: Iran has seized two small boats containing 10 American sailors. Rhodes found out about the Iranian action earlier that morning but was trying to keep it out of the news until after the president’s speech. “They can’t keep a secret for two hours,” Rhodes says, with a tone of mild exasperation at the break in message discipline.


...

The media is predictably outraged. Most of the outrage is directed at David Samuels, the author of the New York Times piece, rather than Ben Rhodes, the guy who was boasting how dumb the media is.

Specific reporters who were namechecked are even more outraged. Laura Rozen retweeted messages of support from Iran propagandists.

...

Ben Rhodes is a hack with family connections who is bad at his job as Obama is at his. But it doesn't matter. If your politics are right, or rather left, the media will follow.

The media is right to be offended by the Samuels piece which implies that Ben Rhodes brilliantly manipulated the media, rather than that the media willingly let him do it. It was consensual all along.
