President Obama delivered a defiant defense Monday of his administration's response to the Benghazi terror attack, calling the revived controversy over the matter a "sideshow."

The president addressed the issue during a press conference alongside British Prime Minister David Cameron, who is visiting Washington. Obama denied any suggestion that there was a cover-up, questioning recent reports that showed a State Department official trying to water down the administration's initial story-line on what happened the night of Sept. 11.

If we had REAL LEADERS they wouldn’t need someone protecting THEIR LEADERSHIP ROLL. We have been taken over by ANTI AMERICAN RADICAL SOCIALIST DEMOCRATS who despise this country. And that’s EXACTLY HOW THEY REACTED in BENGHAZI when they left our people to be slaughtered by ignoring requests for increased security and NOT SENDING HELP when under attack. That in itself is grounds for IMPEACHMENT in my book.

"Obama considers 4 dead Americans a “sideshow?”:

Actually, he wouldn't know, he slept through it. Got up the next morning and went to a fund raiser.

Malfeasance, misfeasance, treason and murder.

What does it take....???...

We must not let the fact that the President, Vice President, SOS,SecDef, CIA head, and Gen, Dempsey—none of them followed up that night to offer help or to order help be sent.

That means 36 Americans were to be sacrificed to cover up something, and it did not matter that they were given a death sentence.

Two brave men disobeyed direct orders, and ran to the fight, helping to save 32 other Americans at the cost of their own lives, and we have not seen or heard from nor do we know the names of any of these 32 Americans to this day.

Call your Congressman and Senators and express your outrage that a stand down order was given, and DEMAND to know who did it and why.

If we fail to ignore this controversy and find out the truth, we deserve the chains that will surely follow.

Obama will soon regret that statement. If this is a “sideshow” then he is the closet freak that is about to become the main attraction. What a childish, pathetic excuse for a man, a president, and a human being.

Sideshow?

That is very much like the arrogant, indignant attitude maintained by Nicolae and Elena Ceausescu, right up to the bitter end.

That video of them ducking and bobbing around the courtyard like barnyard chickens, trying to dodge the firing squad's bullets, should be force-fed to US Democrats on a daily basis.

An embassy is under attack & pleas for help are coming in.

If Obama gave orders and they weren’t followed he would be leading the charge to find out why orders were not followed.

That is not the case.

So either no orders were given or the order was stand down.

Testimony is that stand down orders were issued twice.

Why would there be stand down orders? Why isn’t Obama leading the charge to determine where they came from if they did not come from him?

Talking points references to Al Qaeda were immediately scrubbed. Why would references to Al Qaeda be deleted? What purpose does that serve? If references existed for scrubbing then Al Qaeda was involved. Al Qaeda was involved and for some reason this must be concealed? Why?

Taken together the stand down orders and the removal of Al Qaeda references clearly indicates that some operation beneficial to Al Qaeda was disrupted, it had to be concealed and assets - Stevens, SEALS - were expendable.

What could that operation have been? Arms?

Obama calls this a sideshow? I call it arming an enemy. I call it treason.

“Sideshow” implies that there’s a main event. What might that be, Obama?

The main event was running looted Libyan guns through Benghazi to Al Qaeda mercenaries fighting the US/NATO covert war against Syria. All of which is immoral, illegal, unconstitutional and prosecutable war crimes.

Here are some other noteworthy shows:

Your presidency is a HORROR SHOW.
