Still trying so hard to cover for BO. Where was he the night of the attack and why will no one say where he was.

On Thursday, outgoing Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Gen. Martin Dempsey, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told senators on Capitol Hill that President Obama was not present the night that four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens, were killed in an attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

According to their testimony, the two men met with Obama at 5:00 p.m. on Sept. 11. That meeting lasted 30 minutes, they said. Afterward, they did not hear from anyone at the White House, including the president.

“A Defense Department timeline says that Panetta and Dempsey had been informed of the terrorist attack in Benghazi at 4:32 p.m.—28 minutes before they went into their meeting with Obama. At today’s hearing, Panetta said he informed Obama of the attack when they entered their 5:00 p.m. meeting. That was one hour and 18 minutes after the attack started and while it was ongoing,” CNS News said.

Panetta told Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) that Obama left operational details “up to us.”

“Did you have any further communications with him that night?” Sen. Ayotte asked.

“No,” Panetta said.

“Did you have any other further communications? Did he ever call you that night to say how are things going, what’s going on, where’s the consulate?” she asked in a follow-up.

“No,” Panetta said in response. “But we were aware as we were getting information about what was taking place there, particularly when we got information that the ambassador, his life had been lost, we were aware that that information went to the White House.”

Panetta also told Sen. Ayotte that they did not communicate with anyone at the White House and no one from the White House called for a status update.
