Obama on Benghazi: 'Ultimately ... I am responsible'
By JENNIFER EPSTEIN | 10/27/12 11:27 PM EDT

President Obama vowed Saturday to hold the right people accountable if it's found that there was breakdown in communications within the intelligence community ahead of last month's attack in Benghazi.

"What my attitude on this is is if we find out there was a big breakdown and somebody didn’t do their job, they’ll be held accountable," he said in an interview with "Morning Joe" hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski conducted in Nashua, N.H., according to a report on MSNBC.com.

“President Obama vowed Saturday to hold the right people accountable if it’s found that there was breakdown in communications within the intelligence community ahead of last month’s attack in Benghazi.”

Looks more like they are test-driving a new excuse.

I didn’t watch it. I guess it really depends upon what the question was. This would be a legitimate answer if he was asked about intel before the attack.

There was “someone who didn’t do their job” alright and it was Obama. As Commander in Chief he is a national disgrace and he should be held accountable.

Clearly the MSM is trying to keep that from happening, but the word is leaking out. Unlike 1969, the MSM doesn’t get to control 100 percent of the dialogue.

In “The Princess Bride,” the evil Vizzini says “Inconceivable!” every time the heroic Westley dodges death.

Finally Montoya the Spaniard says, “You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.”

Everybody in this administration, from Hillary to Obama, keeps “taking responsibility” and saying “it’s my responsibility,” regarding this appalling slaughter of Americans.

Either they don’t know what it means, or they think we don’t know what it means.

Because if our pathetic rulers (including the stupid cowardly lazy House and Senate Republicans) actually understood the word “responsibility,” there would be resignations and/or impeachment. Like, yesterday.

“Either they don’t know what it (responsibility) means, or they think we don’t know what it means.”

“Ministerial Responsibility” has never been much in evidence in our system of governance. But these clowns make a farce of the entire concept. Just empty words.
