In fact, Obama didn't know a lot of stuff because he didn't attend his intel briefings.
No surprise from someone who never attended the daily security meetings.
Come on. Do you really expect anyone to pull Obama off the golf course or away from a fundraiser or to wake Biden from his 5 hour midday nap just to tell them our Consulate desperately needs more security?
I wrote a whole lot of other stuff about these two but I decided to delete it before the Administrator removed it.
Oh? Was that because they were blinded by their total awesomeness?
It certainly wasn’t because no one tried to tell them...
Barry realizes he will be voted out. So he is blaming Hillary so she takes a fall too, ending her political career.
Their plausible deniability..... isn’t plausible.
AND, they damn sure participated in the coverup.... all of America watched it.
Immediately after the election, congress should begin IMPEACHMENT proceedings, regardless of who wins the election.
To quote Rush quoting Clinton "The buck never got here."
Obama can point the finger at whomever he pleases, but Sharlene Lamb testified that she watched the who situation in real time.
The only reason that Obama didn’t know about the situation in Libya would be because Obama was not taking security briefings.
1. Deny the additional security with plausible deniability that you knew nothing.
2. Tell the Muslim Brotherhood, "OK. They're all yours. Just remember, we need them released one week before the election."
3. Then sit back and look on in horror as the October Surprise of negotiating a release of the hostages just prior to the election goes up in smoke. Literally.
4. Then send a wire to the Nobel Peace Prize committee that you have a prior engagement and will not be able to accept your second Prize.
Incompetence or treason?
I don’t know which is worse.
If they were NOT told, 9/11 is coming up and we need more security as a matter of course, or did not just understand it without being told ... what does that tell you about competence? ... about the people they have staffing the offices? ... about the communication they have?
Meanwhile I suppose that Uncle Joe was out at a VFW drinking or some such, and -bama was out at the golf course or with his Hollywood buddies.
Leading from behind is not leading - it is not even following - it is something you get fired for.
Obama and Biden don’t know come here from sic ‘em.
Obviously, once they settled their plans and negotiations with the MB in the middle east, they felt like they could just sit back and let things take its course. Another example of how they underestimate the American people. Thankfully I was surrounded by a group of young adults last night (ages 25-32) and they are just now beginning to follow politics to vote. Of course they found Biden to be immature and rude. I asked them if you walked into a bank asking one of the two officers how to invest your money, which one would you choose to do what is best for your interests? No brainer.
He just wants to drag Hillary down with him.
He was too busy for briefings - partying with JayZ and Pimp with a Limp.
OK, let’s take Biden at his word that “we”, meaning he and Obama, didn’t know about the requests.
Next question is, when they found out about all the requests that were denied, what action did they take? Did they direct the State Dept. to find out who denied the requests and why they were denied? And, if so, what action has been taken against those who were in the State Dept. loop?
Denying that you didn’t personally know about it doesn’t let you off the hook for finding out what went wrong. Biden said they were going to make sure it never happened again. Part of that involves going up the chain of command and finding out where the short circuit was. That’s what leaders do.
I hope I’m not imagining it, but it has seemed in the past week that the press corps smell blood in the water and are starting to circle. Just a few at a time now, but the daily lies and blunders will attract more and more.
Kind of hard to brief someone who never shows up for intel. briefings.
I guess when you’re the boss and you want to have deniability, you just skip out on important meetings, such as the daily national intelligence briefings, and then blame your underlings for not informing you of critical items.
I’d bet a good steak dinner, that since the Libyan situation was one of the Administration’s claims of success, the security situation in Benghazi was part of the daily national intelligence briefings that he did not attend - unless the Obama didn’t follow what was going on there following Qhadafi’s overthrow. And I find that hard to believe. But I do think he planned on having deniability.
