Here is an interesting tidbit from the White House Visitor Logs for 9/11/12: Obama met with three people, at an unknown time, for “debate prep.”

. . . .

There are not too many holes in his schedule during the day — increasing the chances that the “debate prep” took place in the evening, after the meeting with Panetta . . . in other words, when the Benghazi attack was unfolding.

For future reference: if I post the whole content here, will people still be upset because it’s my own content?

You won't catch any flak about blogpimping.

However, you may still catch some crap if ALL you ever post is your own stuff.

I have copied and pasted it all here per your request. I used the HTML code from my post but it does not appear the same as it does at my site; paragraph breaks are missing. I hope that addresses the etiquette issue and perhaps we could discuss the content of the post now, which I think is potentially a genuine story. Again: if Obama was not monitoring the attack in the Situation Room because he was doing debate prep, doesn’t that seem worth knowing?

...the color of authority...

That makes TWO interesting words or phrases I've learned today! FReepers increase my word power, sometimes for the good.

“debate prep”...is THAT what the kids are calling it these days?

Should I just delete this and start over

No, don't worry about it. There are just some uptight people here who like to whine about blog pimps.

I don't mind clicking blogs -- if you did the work to prepare it and publish, you deserve to get the click.
