AT: Ben Rhodes is perhaps the weirdest foreign policy adviser in the history of the White House. His path to his current position as deputy national security adviser for strategic communications was, as this New York Times profile informs us, “perhaps not strictly believable, even as fiction.”
Forget his title. Ben Rhodes is “the single most influential voice shaping American foreign policy aside from Potus himself,” according to the Times. What makes that so bizarre is that Rhodes has no background in foreign policy at all. He was a failed short story writer who wandered into the orbit of Obama aides almost by accident and served as a speechwriter during the campaign. more
The only surprise about this liar, Ben Rhodes, is that he had a brief moment of honesty and admitted they’re a bunch of liars.
Somebody explain, once again, as in the Jon Gruber case (deceiving and defrauding their sovereign about ObolaCare) why this isn’t Treason?
They don’t lie just to be lying. They lie to enable Iran to possess nuclear weapons with the expressed purpose of endangering and threatening the United States and Israel.
What the fuck is wrong with us?
izlamo delenda est …
When was the last time you felt the government told you the truth? I feel as if my entire life has been predicated by lies on lies from the federal government.
The surprise is that there is anyone left who believes a word from this administration.
“If you like your health plan, you can keep your health plan”
“ISIS is the JV team”
“Shovel-ready projects”
“I didn’t set a red line”
“Not even a smidgeon of corruption”
But then again, Ben Rhodes was involved in the Benghazi whopper:
The protest was due to a YouTube video
It’s too bad barry’s initials couldn’t be BS instead of BO. We’ve got nothing but bs from predidunt obummer over the past 7 + years but BO we’ve also had plenty of, his every word and action stinks to high heaven. And we’ve got idiots out there in the GOPEE who won’t vote for Trump but are willing to let Lady Macbeth finish destroying what barry hasn’t already. God help us, especially from the fools on our side.
We all know they’re liars, but what is their end game? Does this mean.B. O. is a shit, oops, Shiite? He wants Iran to turn Isreal into a glass carpet? He’s a shallow egoist? All of the above. They wanted Chris Stevens dead, the attack on the outpost didn’t stop until that was confirmed. There could have been more soldiers lost, but that wasn’t the point.
Somebody explain, once again,
50-60 years of proggie agenda in the public schools, but you knew that.
You probably know this, but I repeat it so all are more immediately aware of the incestuous relationship between Democrats and national media.
David Rhodes is the President of CBS News, and is Ben Rhodes’s brother.
Don’t expect CBS to break any news damaging to Ben Rhodes, Obama or even Hillary. CBS may know everything, but they ain’t gonna report it.
This is nothing less than treason.
From Eli Lake:
“Jon Favreau, another speechwriter who worked closely with him in Obama’s 2008 campaign and first term, explained to Samuels that Rhodes doesn’t really care what the establishment thinks of him. Rhodes “won’t care if he’s never again invited to a cocktail party, or asked to appear on ‘Morning Joe,’ or inducted into the Council on Foreign Relations hall of fame or whatever the hell they do there,” Favreau said.”

Obama doesn’t care either. He’s a short-timer. Hillary cares, though, because she is part.of the scam from the beginning, and going forward if she is elected. There must be something really damning in Guccifer’s server hack about Hillary’s involvement in the Iran Deal scam Rhodes knows exactly what it is that Hillary fears will be found, but he also knows that with David Brock, she has a spin machine like his. And the same journos he duped and herded will be duped and herded by Brock.
In a strange way, I respect Rhodes at this moment. He has come clean, confessed his sins and exposed the cockroaches in the establishment. What is done with his truth-telling is our responsibility. Whether he dies in a fiery car wreck on an empty road at 3:00AM remains to be seen.
Kakistocracy in action. Been using that word for almost eight years now. It’s a handy word to describe the mess we are in. I hope I can stop using it come January 2017.
@Moetom, had to look it up but it does cover the situation pretty well.
