I see the WH has found a fall guy to throw under the bus
But itis a lame weak effort.

The quesion is whether the MSM will line up and rush to give 0dumbo a pass
will MSM be only too glad to have someone else to blame so they don’t hvae to do their job?

Oblamer can’t really blame the National Security Agency because he wasn’t taking security briefings before the attack, not even right after the attack. Oblamer didn’t start taking the security briefings until after he was criticized for not taking them.

Even that doesn’t explain the endless vacillation on the cause of the Libyan attack and whether or not it was planned.

Nixon actually did something besides play golf, and they ran him out of office for much less. It’s the old media double standard.

No matter how hard he tries, this is NOT going to go away, and the harder he tries, the more WE will dig in to make damn sure it stays on the front burner. He can’t escape this one.

I suspect this situation was caused by gross incompetence. But I can't help but wonder if there was also a “Wag the Dog” type of component... sacrifice the ambassador and a few of his people so that voters will be reminded that the United States is under siege and rally around the president.

Both Hussein and Horrible Hillary have blood on their hands, the blood of four murdered Americans, who could have been saved if the warnings of impending attacks had been heeded.

was appalling to watch the Obama Administration’s painstaking efforts to deny any connection to radical Islamic terror.

This has got to change.
It is ISLAMIC TERRORISM not “radical” islamic terrorism
The sacking of our Embassy and slaughter of our Ambassador and 3 other Americans was celebrated all over the muslim world. Few if any muslims condemned the attacks islam exists to enslave or destroy all non muslims...

The press is trying to sweep this under the rug for Obozo/Clintoon.

You suspect? I am certain without a doubt that it was. You are giving him way to much credit then he deserves

Not that Obama knew - but that before and after the fact, the meme was that “the crowd was rioting because of the short trailer of a film not yet released that was on YouTube.” Until the uproar went out about this short video, nobody, but NOBODY (well, maybe twelve people in all) had actually seen the video until about a day AFTER the twin assaults on the embassies in Egypt and Libya.

It was the lie, repeated and repeated, that the uprising and assault of the embassies was due to and solely caused by the dissemination of the video in question. For sure, once attention was called to it, lots of people DID watch the video, and were greatly incensed (not at all a difficult proposition to GET a militant jihadist Muslim incensed).

The al Qaeda-led assault on the embassy at Benghazi was planned far in advance, well-coordinated and carried out with dispatch, on what was essentially an undefended post. An oversight, not to have adequate self-defense of an embassy in a recent war zone, but one that COULD be overlooked in the fog of hasty activity.

But like Watergate, the attempts to divert blame and cover up errors and misjudgments turned out to be far worse than the original lapse of good sense. And that is what we have here: All the worst of Nixon’s errors, piled on top of all of Jimmy Carter’s poor diplomatic skills, and belated action.

The world must wait no longer to be rid of this defect of nature who is the Current Resident of the Oval Office.

“Likable” just doesn’t cut it any more. Try “competent”.

Oblamer has one last scapegoat for this scandal....



...the problem is that the Clintons play for keeps and are not keen to take the fall for Oblamer.


Pass the popcorn...

I believe Obama’s trying to set up a situation where he can call for martial law.

“Rubin also raises three other important questions that logically follow:

Can Obama squirm out of this scandal unscathed as he has so many others, or
Will Mitt Romney effectively make this a campaign changing moment, and
Will the media live up to their responsibilities and hold the Administration accountable?”

This election will measure the intelligence of the voting public. The lame-stream will NOT hold this administration accountable and is banking on the ‘sheeple’ believing their propaganda.

“I believe Obama’s trying to set up a situation where he can call for martial law.”

Then he has until Wednesday to do so to stay out of the debate with Romney.

Obama lied after an ambassador died.
