I watched the first 30 seconds, I saw enough to get the point... first of all, the reporter gave ovomit the easiest puff ball question, in fact he made it so easy that he built in the answer for him... why would he ask if they were denied help during the attack? This only give ovomit the opportunity to say no... the reporter should have asked a more direct question, such as: We now know that the people at the embassy who were under attack were desperate and asked for immediate help no less than three times, so why did you deny them help when you saw on the live feed video that they were under serious attack and at high risk of being murdered? Why did you do nothing? And how could you go to Las Vegas the very next morning all smiles and jokes to raise money for your campaign and go on a few television programs with blood all over your face and your hands? What kind of sub human creature are you?

Those are the questions I would ask...

The boy is in big trouble with PERFECT timing! Thank you incompetent boobs Hillary and Obumble! Obammy arrogance pride and arrogance will be his downfall. They GOT him red handed on this because only the PRESIDENT can order a military response. See your Constitution. This came right across his desk and he said NO and Valerie Jarrett called the Shot. That's how this is going to go down.

Jefferson County "Democrat of the Year" convicted in at-risk adult case

Three days before Jefferson County Democrats were scheduled to hand out their Democrat of the Year award, they were warned that the recipient was under investigation for exploiting an elderly woman with physical and mental disabilities.

Now, the party faces the embarrassment of seeing its honored volunteer — Estelle Carson — as a convicted felon.

A Jefferson County jury on Thursday convicted Carson of identity theft and theft from an at-risk person, both felonies, according to Pam Russell, spokeswoman for the district attorney. Carson, 67, is scheduled to be sentenced in December.

The party announced in December that Carson was the recipient but didn't hear from critics until right before the Jan. 8 dinner, said Chris Kennedy, chairman of the Jefferson County Democratic Party.

Cindy Maxwell, who counsels people with disabilities, was one of those critics. She warned party officials that she believed that they were about to give the award to a bad actor, but Maxwell said a party official told her there was nothing they could do unless the woman had been convicted, which she had not.

"I said, 'When she is convicted, which she will be, how do you plan on taking that award from her?' Of course, there was no answer," Maxwell said. "I was appalled, and I'm a Democrat."

Kennedy said the award is given to a volunteer who goes "above and beyond expectations by constantly offering to help." He declined to comment further.

Carson could not be reached for comment.

Maxwell has worked with the 71-year-old victim for a decade, helping her with budgeting and other needs. She alerted authorities about Carson and testified at trial.

Russell said Carson, who met the victim last year, wrote three checks from the woman's account, including one to pay for Carson's cable, Internet and phone when they were about to be canceled.

State Rep. Sue Schafer, D-Wheat Ridge, gasped when she heard the news about Carson, who lives in her district. Schafer said she attended the dinner where Carson received her honor and remembers her being "very excited."

"I'm totally shocked and very sorry," Schafer said. "She has done a lot of good work for the Democratic Party."
