Yes, that’s the same John Sununu. The same Sununu who spent the 2012 campaign insulting President Obama and calling him lazy. The same Sununu who has never apologized for those insults and seems to be on a special retainer with Fox News to regularly come up with new ones.

On the other hand, it’s the same John Sununu who bumbled his way through his tenure as George H.W. Bush’s Chief of Staff. It was during that time that Sununu accidentally gave us David Souter as a Supreme Court Justice. Sununu famously assumed that Souter was a secretly hard right judge, only to get a big surprise when it turned out that Souter was an independent who tended to vote from a liberal perspective. The hard right never forgave Sununu for that one (witness all their judicial appointments since then – all of them are openly hard right). The left never forgot it – had Sununu not made this mistake, the right wing would have had a 6-3 majority on the Court as of 1991, which would have stood for nearly 20 years and done untold amounts of damage. We have Sununu’s ineptitude to thank for sparing us from that.

Regarding Kortez’s comments, I agree with part of them. It’s absolutely true that Fox News and the right wing really don’t care about what happened at Benghazi, for all their postured “outrage.” There were repeated attacks on embassies and consulates during the George W. Bush presidency that never got a GOP witch hunt thrown at them. The fact is that the GOP tried this as a “Hail Mary” to prop up Romney’s campaign, only to see it blow up in their faces during the second debate. Rather than admit failure, they doubled down.

So now we have this attempted spectacle of a new hearing with “whistleblowers” this week. Really? Three State Department/Intelligence officials who have already been criticizing the lack of response on the night in question, coming out again to discuss the matter at one of Darrell Issa’s infamous hearings? That’s what the GOP thinks “whistleblowers” are? What about the very real whistleblowers that Fox News sneered about throughout the Bush presidency when they discussed things like the warrantless wiretaps and the other shenanigans? And for the new Issa hearing, we now hear from the “whistleblowers” attorney, Victoria Toensing. That’s the funniest touch of all. Toensing? The GOP advocate who tried to make a career for herself in attacking Bill Clinton and playing up the Lewinsky scandal? That Victoria Toensing? The Victoria Toensing who attacked Joe Wilson and Valerie Plame in public after the Bush people outed Plame? The Victoria Toensing who tried to say that David Petraeus was resigning over Benghazi rather than his own scandal? Who in the world would be gullible enough to think of her as a person of any integrity, particularly in this area?

So yes, it’s pretty obvious that the GOP and Fox News would like to keep bringing up Benghazi, not to get at any truths but to try to embarass the President and hopefully stir people up for the 2014 midterms. I agree that the GOP would love for this to be a campaign talking point in case Hillary Clinton runs again in 2016. I agree that the GOP would love to find some way to twist Benghazi into finding some reason, any reason, to impeach President Obama. But then they’ve been trying that canard over and over again, practically since he took the oath of office in 2009. How many times can they play the same tune about impeachment? How many fake scandals can they try to stir up? Fast & Furious? Joe Sestak? Solyndra? What’s the next one going to be? The reality is that the GOP’s best shot at taking the Senate was in 2012, and they shot themselves in the foot. I don’t see them suddenly sweeping both houses, but you never know. Anything could happen. I tend to believe that we’ll just see a continuation of the current gridlock – a Democrat-majority Senate and a GOP-majority House, albeit with a shrinking number of GOP/Tea Party folk holding seats as more of their constituents get fed up with their intransigence.

Kortez’s final comments don’t make much sense, however. The jab about jobs doesn’t line up with the jobs report we just got, showing the unemployment rate dropping again while upwardly revising the numbers of jobs created over the last few months. So the gloomier numbers we saw earlier now look much better. But we haven’t seen Hannity extolling the new numbers, have we? Nor will we. Fox News has taken great pains to talk DOWN any employment or economic numbers for the past four years. Earlier, this was about creating “facts” with which to attack President Obama in 2012 and run him out of office. Now that tactic seems to be running out of pure spite. These guys seem to want to just make as much of a mess as they can.

I do wish that governance was “easy to do”, but in the real world, it’s actually a lot of work. And you have to have both sides talking to accomplish it. What we’ve now repeatedly seen is the President calling for bipartisan work and making repeated offers, including approaches that are friendlier to GOP politicians. This may well result in an immigration reform bill finally passing the Congress this year. But on almost every front, we’ve seen constant, solid obstruction by the GOP. The strategy since early 2009 has been simple – say “I hope he fails”, vote against everything he proposes and then accuse him of having failed. Repeat as often as possible. I’ll give the GOP points for consistency on this, but that’s not how government work gets done. It’s a shame they havn’t learned that lesson yet.

Wasn’t Sununu a loud mouthed spokesperson for Mitt Romney during the last election cycle?
If Pres. Obama(the winner) is a loser, then what does that make Romney?
Sununu is another FauxNews expert analyst just like Dick Morris.

That’s what Benghazi is all about, keeping Clinton out in 2016 and seeking an impeachable offense for the current president, Obama, in case the Republicans take the senate in 2014. There is no actual search for truth. However, President Obama may rue the day he did not try to fly in military assistance, if the midterm elections do not go the Democratic party’s way. Since the president still has no idea how to go about promoting jobs without involving his own cronies or in ways that do not involve needed Republican support, anything is possible. IMO, it’s easy to do, but our president lacks imagination and creativity and seems otherwise engaged, though on what I’m not sure.

To Sean Hannity there’s no event President Obama can’t be impeached for — and the Obama presidency has been “very much in peril” since the day it started . . .

.

This was the same segment where Hannity let John Sununu regularly shout over Bill Richardson and just to make things fun, approvingly gave Sununu the last word in saying “The President is a Loser”.

Let me see if I understand this correctly. President Obama convincingly won re-election by a wider margin than George W. Bush, holds a much higher approval rating than the GOP Congress, has appointed two Supreme Court justices and looks to appoint two more before his second term is finished, and regularly is outflanking the right when it comes to getting his message across. If that’s losing, I’d hate to see what winning looks like.

My job is getting guys for hannitys wife

@truman And REINSTATEMENT OF THE MILITARY DRAFT, because after all, wars against nations like Iran and Syria NEED TROOPS — that is, HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF THEM!

Regardless of what our President accomplishes during his second term, it’s better than what a first term of MagicUnderwear Mitt would have been. Repeal universal health care, slash Medicare and Medicaid, privatize Social Security, more tax cuts for millionaires, and new wars against Muslim nations like Iran and Syria.

Sean Hannity: ‘Obama Presidency Is Very Much in Peril’

Obama is a poor president, and Hannity is paid to attack. What do you expect?

Hey Sean Hannity! I have a better idea! Why don’t you talk about how your own blather-fest show is in peril?

Hope springs eternal for Hannity!
