"Can't Take the Pressure!!"

An NFL quarterback is a very unique individual; he must be athletic, intelligent and be able to work well under extreme pressure. He must be able to analyze a situation in a matter of seconds, while moving in a calculated scheme and complete a pre-planned play before he is knocked to the ground by several men who wish to drive him into the turf in a most painful way.

A police officer is also someone who must respond well in situations that are of very high pressure; he sometimes makes decisions in only seconds that are of life and death importance. He must quickly gather information from everything available in only a few moments and move with deliberate speed to resolve the situation with as little damage to the people involved as possible.

A soldier in a combat situation is another example of someone who must make swift decisions in situations of very high pressure, or he may forfeit his own life or that of his compatriots. Actions in combat go off at light speed and there is very little room for error or second guessing; this is definitely a matter of life and death.

What do all of these men have in common? They all respond to tough situations head-on, never ducking hard choices or decisions. They don’t take the easy road or push their responsibility off to someone else; they “face the music” when things get rough. They must be the right men at the right time and sometimes they must answer the tough questions when the smoke clears.

On September 11^th of this year, we lost four Americans in an act of terrorism to radical Islamists. Over the course of the last several weeks, we have seen several members of our government give explanations of that tragedy in ways that don’t seem compatible with facts that have now been revealed. Phone calls, e-mails, cables and intelligence reports conflict with information which was given by the White House and the State Department in regards to this incident. For two weeks, the minions of the Obama Administration touted a YOU-TUBE video as the spark to a spontaneous demonstration that erupted into violence and murder, a closer examination of facts show a much different picture to the American people. Weeks before, our ambassador sent messages to the State Department asking for extra security as his situation was becoming tenuous. The British closed their embassy because of ever mounting danger in that very same nation and they felt it was too dangerous to remain there. The Ambassador’s requests went unfulfilled. He and three other American citizens are now DEAD. The White House is still “evaluating the facts” and no solid statements have been made yet!

Since this incident, our President has done little to clear the air about what happened. State Department officials have spoken to the media, and it has been addressed at Press Conferences, yet the President himself has yet to engage in an interview to answer the hard questions about Benghazi.

Mr. Obama has had interviews with Brian Williams, a guy from MTV called Sway, Jay Leno and David Letterman. None of these interviews seriously addressed the Benghazi terrorist murders or the aftermath. Mr. Obama has been on the View and smiled at the ladies, yet answered nothing with candor. The President has yet to appear on FOX NEWS in any capacity for an interview of any kind since the Benghazi incident. His surrogates have only spouted the talking points which we have all heard, which are continuing to be proven as spurious. It seems Mr. Obama isn’t doing well under pressure, and is “deathly afraid” to appear on FOX NEWS, as they will ask the questions no one else has the fortitude to ask. We have a man in the White House that fears tough questions from a news source; perhaps because he is unable to answer with honesty, or fear the facts will show America who he really is behind the smiles and jokes. If this man fears news reporters, how much more must he fear men like Putin or Ahmadinejad?

There is one week until the election and we have a President who is avoiding the issues of real importance while spending his time on talk shows and answering questions like “What is the most important music genre today” (he answered Hip-Hop). Will you put the next four years of America’s future in his hands again, or will you trust someone who will address the tough questions that will be asked? We don’t need a “celebrity”, we need a President, and that isn’t Barack Hussein Obama!!
