“For 62 days, the American people have waited for House Republicans to move forward with the budget process and replace the devastating sequester cuts that are slashing into our country’s safety net, national security, and public infrastructure,” Pelosi’s office said in a press release. “Yesterday, an Interstate 5 bridge north of Seattle collapsed after an oversized truck hit the structure. Thankfully, no one was killed. But the collapse of the bridge–long-rated ‘functionally obsolete’–highlights the dangerous consequences of our failure to repair and invest our roads and bridges.”

-Snip-

A Federal Highway Administration database does list the Washington bridge as being “functionally obsolete,” meaning its design is outdated. However, it was not “structurally deficient,” and and officials have blamed its collapse on an oversized load on a truck. In fact, the bridge was inspected twice last year and underwent repairs.

It’s becoming painfully obvious that to really succeed in the Obama administration and be promoted, one must skirt the will of the American people, from which you’ve sworn to serve, opting instead for covering the mistakes and abuses of your “Buildings leadership” and the White House in general.

The White House on Thursday nominated Victoria Nuland to be the next assistant secretary for European and Eurasian affairs, to replace Philip Gordon, who was appointed as Middle East coordinator for the National Security Council.

The promotion of Nuland, a career Foreign Service officer with 29 years of experience at the State Department, comes just after Republican-led criticism of her role in the editing of the Obama administration’s talking points on Benghazi seems to have died down.

Nuland, who has long experience working on post-Soviet issues, including as U.S. ambassador to NATO from 2005-2008, was the department’s chief spokesperson at the time of the attacks.

In defiance of those critics, the president’s nomination signals a doubling-down on his view that the Benghazi furor amounts to a “political circus” led by partisan interests. “There’s no ‘there’ there,” Obama told reporters last week.

For the record, I don’t think Nuland’s involvement in the Benghazi cover-up was motivated by politics or particularly nefarious. I do, however, believe Victoria Nuland to be a career State Department official that was worried more about covering for her Dept. (and her boss Hillary Clinton) than serving the people’s interest in this case and should not be rewarded for doing so!

JOSEPHINE COUNTY, Ore. (CBS Seattle) — An Oregon woman was told by a 911 dispatcher that authorities wouldn’t be able be able to help her as her ex-boyfriend broke into her place because of budget cuts.

Oregon Public Radio reports that an unidentified woman called 911 during a weekend in August 2012 while Michael Bellah was breaking into her place. Her call was forwarded to Oregon State Police because of lay-offs at the Josephine County Sheriff’s Office only allows the department to be open Monday through Friday.

“Uh, I don’t have anybody to send out there,” the 911 dispatcher told the woman. “You know, obviously, if he comes inside the residence and assaults you, can you ask him to go away? Do you know if he’s intoxicated or anything?”

The woman told the dispatcher that Bellah previously attacked her and left her hospitalized a few weeks prior to the latest incident. The dispatcher stayed on the phone with the woman for more than 10 minutes before the sexual assault took place.

“Once again it’s unfortunate you guys don’t have any law enforcement out there,” the dispatcher said, according to Oregon Public Radio.

The woman responded: “Yeah, it doesn’t matter, if he gets in the house I’m done.”

Police say Bellah choked the woman and sexually assaulted her. He was arrested by Oregon State Police following the incident.

“There isn’t a day that goes by that we don’t have another victim,” Josephine County Sheriff Gil Gilberson told Oregon Public Radio. “If you don’t pay the bill, you don’t get the service.”
