As if his massive failure in Benghazi didn’t even happen, Barack Obama is back on the campaign trail claiming that “al Qaeda has been decimated.”  Do you know where he is today?  Try Las Vegas!  And that bit about al Qaeda being decimated?  Someone has gone back through White House transcripts and found that Obama has made that same claim, or some variation thereof, 32 timessince the Islamic terrorist attack in Benghazi.

Clearly we know that this is a lie.  Al Qaeda has not been decimated, and in fact emails now reveal that Chris Stevens warned of a growing al Qaeda presence in the region.  We know it’s a lie.   So why does Obama keep using this line?  Because he knows that the ObamaMedia is going to protect him on this.  Unless you’re watching Fox News Channel there would be no reason for you to doubt that al Qaeda has, in fact, been decimated.  Unless you’re watching Fox News, or reading the editorial pages of The Wall Street Journal (and we know how much low-information voters just love to read The Wall Street Journal) you wouldn’t know that the attack in Benghazi was conducted by a branch of al Qaeda. 

On the run?  Decimated?  I’ll tell you what’s decimated.  Economic liberty in America … decimated.  Private sector jobs … decimated.  The rule of law … decimated.  Respect for our Constitution … decimated.  Respect for the office of the presidency … decimated.  Our children’s future if Obama is reelected?  DECIMATED.
