Letter to the Editor


With all due respect….

So many times we are left scratching our heads at the course our Country is on. Sometimes it’s inconceivable the words that pour from the mouths of our politicians yet it points the way as to how we got here.

By now most of us have seen the video of Hillary Clinton pounding her fist on the table she sat behind as she spoke. In reference to the terrorist attack in Benghazi she said, "With all due respect, the fact is we had four dead Americans. Was it because of a protest or because of guys out on a walk one night who decided they'd go kill Americans? What difference, at this point, does it make? It is our job to figure out what happened and do everything we can to prevent it from ever happening again, Senator."

What difference does it make? Sadly had the request for addition security been met perhaps four dead Americans would be alive. It makes a great deal of difference since the American public was deliberately lied to with the elections coming up.

It manifested itself in an aurora of distrust of our government and showed what little value for human life the Obama administration has.

What difference does it make to the families who lost their loved ones on September 11, 2012? The anguish that those families have has to be fueled knowing that there were units ready to go in to rescue them yet were told to stand-down.

On August 8, l974, two years after the Watergate incident break-in on June l7, l972,

Richard Nixon resigned and left the White House. He was facing an impeachment because of a burglary in which no one died!

It is my belief that Barack Obama should face impeachment for an incident far more serious than Watergate. If he didn’t know about the incident (in real time) it was on his watch. The aftermath of lies to cover up terrorism on American soil, which is what an embassy represents, was orchestrated by his administration with his approval.

What difference does it make? It makes a great deal for it shows that someone needs to pay for this dereliction of duty in which four Americans who were serving our Country, paid the ultimate price. Along with Hillary, Obama needs to resign or be impeached.
