WTF? Who is Jill Kelley and Why Did This Happen?

WHO DO THEY THINK THEY ARE?

Here we have it, the true seedy side of perverted privilege, a side affect of being the Beautiful People, where the rules don't apply to you. Or do they?

Up until a week ago, General George Patraeus was an exalted bureaucrat and a puppet of the Obama administration, heading the CIA. As a general he served with distinction and achieved the highest honors. And as a politician, as all generals are, his ambitions had taken him to the head of the nation's most important clandestine service.

But who is Jill Kelley? and -

Who is Paula Broadwell?

They are that kind of women: beautiful, sexy and ambitious. . . And they knew how to use their assets to ensnare the most powerful men they could find and leverage their relationships.

Paula Broadwell had no prior experience writing biographies. And Kelley had no business having breakfast at the White House, being "Honorary Consulate General to South Korea" and brokering deals for coal in Korea!

And what is the link to Benghazi?  Charles Krauthammer says the link is that Patraeus thought that if he towed the White House line on the video being the cause of the spontaneous riot that killed Ambassador Stevens and three others - he could keep his job?

And what of the President's defense of Rice? In yesterday's rather unsatisfying and brief press conference, the president was furious at the notion that Rice knowingly lied to the public when she went on FIVE different Sunday news shows to tell this fiction. While spitting in anger, he stumbled over his response and stated plainly that HE was the guy who told her to go out there and tell lies.

Whatever the case, as the days go by it gets worse.

Today's headlines reflect the true unemployment figures, revised upwards, including especially Ohio and New Jersey.

What else has been hidden until after the election? Geesh... What a seedy mess! This is disgusting!

For those of you who voted for this guy, I commend you. You will get what you wanted. We will all pay higher taxes, struggle for jobs, succumb to obamacare, be subjected to the realities of a smaller, stupider military (and maybe even a John Kerry Secretary of Defense!), a shrinking economy, burgeoning deficits and who knows? The affects will continue long after we are all dead and gone.

But we live in a world where entitlement is the rule, rather than the exception. A whole generation of Americans is graduating from  high school, college and graduate school anticipating welfare and unemployment, without shame. This generation feels entitled to receive such "benefits," despite the fact that people like you and me are paying for it. And our ranks are shrinking. In addition, we have a whole nation of state, federal and local employees who are overpaid and pensioned; union workers; and teachers unions that we, the taxpayers are indebted to - for pensions and health care that we didn't bargain for. The politicians did it and that is how they keep getting elected. 

A nation that is dependent on the government for all their basic needs, from medical care to food stamps - is a nation that is doomed. It is entirely unsustainable. But with such a deficit, and so few of us footing the bill anymore, it will have to fail before we see what we gave up.
