Democratic presidential candidate and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is in the hot seat by Republicans about her leadership at the State Department before and after the 2012 attacks on the diplomatic compound in Benghazi, will she be able to hold up her weight for the eight hours? GOP members of the House Select Committee on Benghazi questioned Clinton about her awareness of the deteriorating security situation in Libya and about her role in forming the nation’s overall strategy in the troubled region; this alone may make or break her presidential campaign.

Well this is a bummer. Despite much hype around our U.S. Vice President potentially running for President in 2016, it’s just not going to happen. During a press conference held at the White House today, Joe Biden revealed:
“As my family and I have worked through the grieving process, I’ve said all along that it may very well be that the process closes the window on mounting a realistic campaign. I have concluded that it has closed.”

T.I. Apologizes For Saying He Wouldn’t Want A Woman To Be President Of The U.S.
Earlier today, T.I.’s interview with DJ Whoo Kid on Shade 45 was posted on the web. As politics became a topic of convo between the Atlanta rapper and the DJ, Tip shared his thoughts on a woman (like Hillary Clinton) running for President:
“Not to be sexist, but I can’t vote for the leader of the free world to be a woman. Just because every other position that exists, I think a woman could do well. Every other position. But the president, I just know that women make rash decisions emotionally and later they make very permanent cemented decisions and then later, it’s kinda like, it didn’t happen or they didn’t mean for it to happen. I sure would hate to just set off a nuke.”
Naturally, this was not taken kindly by the social media world, and almost immediately, Tip has issued an apology for his apathetic statements.
