President Barack Obama will travel to Andrews Air Force Base outside Washington on Friday to welcome home the remains of U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens and the three other Americans killed in an attack on the consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
"The President and Secretary Clinton will attend the Transfer of Remains Ceremony marking the return to the United States of the remains of the four Americans killed this week in Benghazi, Libya; the President and Secretary Clinton will deliver brief remarks," the White House said in a statement.
Obama's attendance, announced at the last minute, came as protests spread at American diplomatic facilities across northern Africa, the Mideast and Asia. Demonstrators stormed the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, Egypt, on Tuesday, tore down the American flag and replaced it with an Islamist banner. The embassy in Yemen came under attack on Thursday.
The president has been working the phones with leaders in the region, calling those in Egypt, Libya and Yemen to urge greater security for American facilities. He has also ordered special Marine units tasked with protecting—and, if necessary, evacuating—embassies and consulates to both Libya and Yemen.

He will have to come down from his party high to do that
Props and choreography to accompany appropriate feigned indignation and concern by obama. For public consumption only to deny the obvious failure and ineptitude of obama and clinton. If he can conjoure a tear (perhaps he can study Clinton as he walked across the lawn at the Ron Brown funeral) I am sure he might add that as a bonus for the public.
The were murdered by those who did it
AND THOSE WHO HAD FOREKNOWLEDGE.

Probably had to cancel a golf game. Well, that's ok. Another golden opportunity to campaign.
Oh, how I miss the dignity and class of Ronald Reagan.
Will he lift the lid himself to get a thumbprint mark on a ballot or will Hillary have to do the heavy lifting?
Correction: Obama to GLOAT over remains of Americans killed in Libya.
If I were a family member, I would insist that he not be allowed anywhere near there.
They’re going to see the fruits of their labor.
Obama will have absentee ballots on hand for them.
“0” must be “bummed out”. No more campaign contributions from the ambassador!
Welcome Home ?
That is just disgusting.
I’M SO F’ing PISSED RIGHT NOW!!!! WELCOME THEM HOME??? OH GOD, HELP US GET RID OF THESE MENTALLY DERANGED, INCOMPETENT BUFFOONS.... I CAN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!! THOSE 4 MEN ARE IN A CASKET BECAUSE OF THOSE TWO IMBECILES!!! [Sorry for the ALL CAPS meltdown....I was literally screaming at my monitor as I was typing].
That graphic is PERFECT! Thanks...
Jeez, he’s so out of touch,,, this guy needs his azz kicked...
Yes. I feel the same. I am sick about this.
And don’t forget the fake salute the fake American president will want to be photographed doing to be released to all news agencies for immediate publication.
Any POTUS with an ounce of diginity would go quietly to the base, bow their head and salute these hero’s while praying for forgiveness for doing nothing to protect them and not use it as a photo shoot, oh wait were talking about obama, never mind.
If any of those men were related to me, I would raise Holy Hell that Hussein and Hitlery came within 100 miles of my loved one!!!

I was thinking the same when it was announced today. While I would never actually DIScourage any of my grandsons from joining, I am certainly NOT encouraging them.
This isn’t entirely all about BO either, I just don’t think ANY of our pols have the troops interest (not only best interest) at heart, if so they certainly don’t act like it.
I realize we are losing servicemen on a daily basis- but, in essence, these souls we are referencing to here are no different than the bunch at Ft Hood, and the ones their ‘students’ are turning on them, or most definitely the ones that are put in danger on a daily basis because of idiotic ROE restriction.
That said, the LAST thing I want is ANY politician using the sacrifices of mine or, for that matter, anyones family for a campaign photo op, much less one running for reelection, and really one that I despise (at least politically despise).
No matter what the intention if it were my son/grandson or daughter etc, BO or Hillary etal better not come near me in MY moment of grief.
