Тайна, покрытая мраком – 3

McCain:

“I am somewhat surprised and frustrated to read reports that the Office of the Director of National Intelligence was responsible for removing references to Al-Qaeda from the unclassified talking points about the Benghazi attack that Ambassador Susan Rice and other officials used in the early days after September 11, 2012. I participated in hours of hearings in the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence last week regarding the events in Benghazi, where senior intelligence officials were asked this very question, and all of them – including the Director of National Intelligence himself – told us that they did not know who made the changes. Now we have to read the answers to our questions in the media. There are many other questions that remain unanswered. But this latest episode is another reason why many of us are so frustrated with, and suspicious of, the actions of this Administration when it comes to the Benghazi attack.”

Оказывается, задавали-таки Обаме тот же вопрос! Давно, когда он еще сенатором был.

И ответил он точно так же, как Рубио. Кто бы мог подумать.

Q: Senator, if one of your daughters asked you—and maybe they already have—“Daddy, did god really create the world in 6 days?,” what would you say?
A: What I’ve said to them is that I believe that God created the universe and that the six days in the Bible may not be six days as we understand it … it may not be 24-hour days, and that’s what I believe. I know there’s always a debate between those who read the Bible literally and those who don’t, and I think it’s a legitimate debate within the Christian community of which I’m a part. My belief is that the story that the Bible tells about God creating this magnificent Earth on which we live—that is essentially true, that is fundamentally true. Now, whether it happened exactly as we might understand it reading the text of the Bible: That, I don’t presume to know.

Но ему ж можно. Или даже ему нельзя? Вон Slate, либеральнее некуда журнальчик, не постеснялся, опубликовал компромат. Мало того, дальше они там пишут – ну, раз уж сам Обама такое говорит, – что Рубио, возможно, прав, и возраст Земли и впрямь не так уж важен для экономики? Может, те комментаторы, которые ужасно возбудились и стали рассказывать, как это страшное невежество вот-вот погубит цивилизацию, немного погорячились?

“Ржал как ненормальный”. Ужасно интересно, что скажет теперь прогрессивная общественность?
