Now that I have vented about the Clintons let’s move on to other issues……….
We all have heard the stories about embassy closings or RNC picking a pathetic battle with MSM, of course there will always bee a NSA story and a Obama scare story….but there were other stories that need our attention……but for some reason the MSM does not like these….

6. What you need to know about the closings of U.S. diplomatic facilities: Dozens of U.S. embassies across the world have been temporarily closed.

(This one made the nightly news….it is substance for more BS)……..The Right is stroking put because Obama told AQ that they were listening….but ask yourself….if he had not done this and there had been another attack what would the Right hve to say? This is just too silly for the news…..
