Video: Bill Wittle Tells Us What Difference Last Week’s Benghazi Hearing Makes

/0 Comments/in , /by

Whatever Mrs. Clinton thinks about the difference between good judgment and dead Americans, the American people do care whether their leaders are able to negotiate tough situations in a competent manner.

The Benghazi hearings last week, though not particularly productive, were revealing when it comes to the attitudes of this Administration toward ordinary Americans.

Wittle says the difference made is between the freedom to speak one’s mind, and that of being imprisoned for speaking out of turn. In short, the difference is what we make of the First Amendment of the United States Constitution.

For the unfortunate man who created the anti-Islamic video, Benghazi made a world of difference, since he now sees the world from behind bars.

The difference we make of the Benghazi debacle is either truth or error, liberty or tyranny.

Senate Approves Kerry For Secretary of State

/3 Comments/in , /by

The Senate overwhelmingly confirmed President Obama’s choice of five-term Sen. John Kerry to be secretary of state, with Republicans and Democrats praising him as the ideal successor to Hillary Rodham Clinton.

The vote Tuesday was 94-3. One senator — Kerry — voted present and accepted congratulations from colleagues on the Senate floor. The roll call came just hours after the Senate Foreign Relations Committee unanimously approved the man who has led the panel for the past four years.

Kerry could be sworn in as early as Wednesday. A welcoming ceremony is planned at the State Department on Monday.

Obama tapped Kerry, 69, the son of a diplomat, decorated Vietnam veteran and 2004 Democratic presidential candidate, to succeed Clinton, who is stepping down after four years. The Massachusetts Democrat, who had pined for the job but was passed over in 2009, has served as Obama’s unofficial envoy, smoothing fractious ties with Afghanistan and Pakistan.

“Sen. Kerry will need no introduction to the world’s political and military leaders and will begin Day One fully conversant not only with the intricacies of U.S. foreign policy, but able to act on a multitude of international stages,” said Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., who will succeed Kerry as committee chairman.
