A frustrated President Obama on Monday dismissed new questions surrounding the White House role in producing a set of public talking points after the Sept. 11, 2012, attacks in Benghazi, Libya, calling the debate around them a politically motivated “side show.”
“We don’t have time to keep playing these political games in Washington,” Obama said, arguing that the more important work is ensuring that U.S. diplomats are adequately protected. “We dishonor them when we turn things like this into a political circus.”
“The whole issue of talking points throughout this process has been a side show,” Obama said Monday. “Suddenly three days ago this gets spun up as if there is something new to the story. There’s no there there.”
Obama continued, “The whole thing defies logic, and the fact that this keeps getting churned out frankly has a lot to do with political motivations.”

The ringmaster speaks.Goody for him.
Didn’t Nixon call Watergate a distraction?
Despot.
He is absolutely correct. Talking points a side-show. It’s about the murder, ordered from the top, of 4 Americans in Benghazi.
I think he's starting to get just a little bit worried...
It’s not a side show. Actually, it’s a FREAK SHOW, like the rest of Obama’s presidency.
obama continues to dig his hole deeper. He will go down over this and other traitorous actions... obama will feel the sting of JUSTICE served.

WaPo take on Barry’s Benghazi talking point “sideshow” comment...
His press secretary initially called it a “third rate burglary attempt”.
In an interesting parallel, the media largely ignored the story until one of the convicted burglars wrote to Judge Sirica, alleging a higher level coverup.
Nixon did say that he thought the whole thing was blown out of proportion by the press, and that it would have been a non-issue if he had pursued a liberal agenda approved by the press.
This is “What difference does it make?” all over again. Now from the C-in-C. He doesn’t care. These deaths were insignificant to him.
He should say “Ahhh did not have sex with that woman”. I’d totally believe him if he said that.
He doesn’t have time for the sideshow as he has to catch a plane heading to New York, He has 2 fundraisers this day.

So who gave the Stand Down order of this sideshow and why was he lecturing us in front of the UN 2 weeks later over the video? The only sideshow is the Democrat media.
Pray for America to Wake Up
Only because it WAS . . .
He is a side show, in fact, he is what is left after the circus parade passes by.
