From aWhiteHouse official:

"The President was informed of the Libya situation by NSA Donilon yesterday afternoon as he started his weekly meeting with the Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. The President was updated on both incidents several times throughout the evening and again this morning...The President was notified last night that Ambassador Stevens was unaccounted for and then notified again this morning about his tragic death."

Perhaps he was too high at the time to try and relay anything of any importance.

His staff knows they have to be very careful when they tell Obumma news that might stress him out.

So, he skipped his intel briefing again, and his political operatives/staff had to notify him of this? This is what it sounds like.

I strongly condemn

Take note of the very first word that comes out of his mouth - "I". The President is supposed to speak for the nation. He should always speak in the third person to state the facts and issue America's response, stating America's policy, and America's actions. Obama never does that. Instead, it is always about him and what he has done.

It was unreal watching the morning network news programs this AM. The pretty libtard talking faces were carrying the State Depts water shamelessly. For example, just taking it as 100% true that the DOS in DC had nothing to do with the original statement from the Cairo embassy. Why should we take it as gospel that DC didn’t have any input? Yet the network talking faces used that as a total defense. Might as well be on the White House payroll.

Mr. Choom was unavailable yesterday while he celebrated the 9/11 terrorists’ victory.

How cute. A spontaneous demonstration with professional, pre-printed placards.

Another posted pointed out that the Ambassador to Egypt was a career diplomat who would (a) probably never have written something like that statement to begin with and (b) would certainly never have released it without the permission or orders of her superiors (which would be either Hillary, the world’s most useless SOS, or Obama or whoever is in charge at the White House).

I fully expect to see all the jihad/marxist/anarchist groups show up in full rage in European and American cities followed by a “national” crisis that will detract the electorate’s attention, perhaps even supress the election. This may well be an October surprise of a diffferent sort. Never let a good crisis go to waste. I certainly wouldn’t put it past Obama to attempt it.

I’m beginning to believe Ted Kennedy had it right. Osama Obama!

You’re right about the third-party speak, but the coward thinks it’s all about him, all day, 365 days a year. The only thing he did is open Pandoras box and release these savages on the world. He should be condemned and removed from office!!

My wife is Filipina, and if we call there right now, it is 945 PM.

If we wait until 1PM our time, it will be 1AM TOMORROW.


The announcement timing is, should not be, a problem.

Allowing this to occur ... IS.

The MB has officially, with an identifiable flag (uniform) and weaponry that caused death ... war.

And zero ... you had BETTER declare war on the MB, including and especially the ones beside you right now and in HILLARY!s bed.

Yeah. The only thing that interests Obumma right now is his re-election effort. Therefore, before they broke the news to him, they had to prepare (a) a list of the implications for the political race with Romney, including ways to shift the blame to Republicans in general and Romney in particular, (b) input from their pollsters on how to track the public response to this situation in the coming days, (c) speech ideas and potential venues for the immediate future, and (d) a list of vacation/golf locations for this weekend.

Wording still sounds like the embassies are under our control.
Somehow I doubt it.
Being so overrun, and even attacked unto killing an ambassador, I’m wondering - and not hearing - what the current status is and what’s happening to the staff. A few desecrated dead aside (!), where are the other hundred or so personnel? and why no word of our security doing the obvious?

Matt, your latest tale was barely published in time...
