Numerous compelling new questions emerged in recent days about the crumbling White House version of the Benghazi tragedy.
They include the faux meme about a "hateful video," who concocted it, why did Obama stick to that fiction so long, why weren't rapid response troops in position on 9/11 of all days, why were U.S. diplomats even in Benghazi after other consuls abandoned the dangerous city, why was Benghazi security reduced in the days leading up to the well-planned terrorist attack and why were Amb. Chris Stevens' security pleas ignored and no rescue attempted?
The upcoming Select House Committee on Benghazi will no doubt pursue these and other lines of obvious inquiry. And the answers will certainly play a large role in 2015-16 politics if, as expected, ex-Secy. of State Hillary Clinton decides to seek her party's nomination.
But for us the most pressing, curious and disturbing question today remains: Where was the Commander-in-Chief and what was he doing during an eight-hour attack that left four government employees unprotected, abandoned and dead?
We know now, thanks to Bret Baier's recent interview with ex-Obama aide Tommy Vietor, that the president was not in the Situation Room, the secure, in-house command post where presidents usually go to... ~snip~
Clinton and then-Defense Secretary Leon Panetta have both said they talked with Obama by phone that awful evening. And Obama's said he ordered all necessary security for American facilities and representatives abroad.
~snip~
So, let's turn the question around:
What could President Barack Hussein Obama have possibly been doing that deadly night, what could his physical and mental condition have been that's so terrible and shocking that the know-everything chief executive would rather Americans think he was asleep at the national security switch?
That's something to awaken any American at 3 a.m. -- or earlier.

Just exactly WHEN did he issue orders to the military on how to handle the attack in Benghazi? Did he give a thought to it?
Obama’s schedule for September 12, 2012.
2:05 pm The President departs the White House en route Joint Base Andrews

6:50 pm The President arrives Las Vegas, Nevada
Local Event Time: 3:50 PM PDT
McCarran International Airport
9:10 pm The President delivers remarks at a campaign event
Hopefully the select committee will get those answers for us.
Why are the 30+ other individuals who were there not front and center?
To your first question, see post #34.
Your second question is one that I certainly hope the select committee gets to the bottom of.
And I wonder what AQ was using to 'pay' for those weapons ?
Why Is Heroin Abuse Rising While Other Drug Abuse Is Falling?
I'm sure it's just a coincidence.
Another point which needs to be pounded into the minds of all Americans:
Not only did he not make it to the situation room, he went to a fundraiser the very next day.
If the President cannot give up a fundraiser following a terrorist attack (reminiscent of how long it took him to interrupt his Christmas vacation after the underwear bomber episode), what does it take to get his full attention!!!
They include the faux meme about a "hateful video," who concocted it...
For some strange reason the press (including conservatives) seem to have forgotten, that it was Hillary Rotten Clinton herself who first put forth the notion of a rogue movie as being the cause of the Benghazi attack.
Like years ago I told you, dude.
They hijacked the now defunct Democratic Party in the 1970s. The new Party is the Party of aged 1960s Marxist-Alinsky campus psycho spoiled brats and their bratty ideological issue.
They are now the Establishment after a decades-long infiltration and indoctrination that some have described as “a long march through the institutions” patterned after Mao's long march. In position now to try to impose a Marxist revolution from the top down.
For example when my parents lived in Northern Va (father worked for DOD), he and a neighbor (whose agency's business was to know these things) told us some juicy things about the Clintons. Yeah, right. We thought it was gossip.
After the Monica Lewinsky story broke, we found out the gossip was GOSSIP.
I hope your gossip is GOSSIP!!!
And then there is gossip that is tongue and cheek that has nothing to do with being right, but rather to point out the possibility of the absurd being true. For example, you say you hope it isn’t true, but with this president you can’t be sure. Even though I created the gossip out of the thin air between my ears, it could be true.
Not only could it be true, there are good odds!
But I am sad, I was hoping you inside knowledge. :(
That is correct so I hereby update my list:
I think we know the following to be true:
1. He was not in the Situation Room.
2. He was on the phone with Netanyahu for two hours.
3. He was on the phone with Hillary Clinton for an unspecified period.
4. He was on the phone with Leon Panetta for an unspecified period.
5. He was prepping for a debate.
