Four Americans were killed in a terrorist attack one month ago.

So much for playing president.

I think it is possible that they might not have been told from the State Dept. But, if things were that bad, wouldn’t the CIA have said something???

This administration has nothing but contempt for our intelligence services as it does the military. They probably refused to listen to anything they were told.

“Watch Bill closely, he is going to say something soon in an interview that will backstage Obama..... “

I’ve been waiting for it.

So, the White HOuse is taking the position they didn’t have a clue what was going on in Libya? And did’t care to inquire? Their line now is “We weren’t dishonest, just incompetnet”? And we’re supposed to be OK withthat? Really? Keep digging guys.

I think Lamb said she watched this in real time. Watched .But I might be wrong.

So at the very least Obama should have known before that UN speech that there was no protest.

I am waiting on Bill Clinton. If they were truly blackmailed into Hillary bowing out then that blackmail still holds true.

How can you be told if you don’t show up to your security briefings?

The buck stops..? Well, not in the Oval Office. “No one told us Libya was dangerous or we woulda done something, honest.” and would not have blamed the Republicans for trying to cut the budget for funding for more security at the US Embassies.

My first inclination on everything that has happened between Hill/billy and O is BLACK-Male.sic Think they both have enough on the other that they can keep each other in line and manipulate each others response.

Sort of reminds me of the two democrats in NW Indiana that turned each other in for voter fraud.

Wait for one to step over the line and the other will bring them down.

BTW both sides are now doing time and are partly responsible for getting IN to instigate their voter fraud laws. Needless to say “discovery” was VERY informative.

Expect the career personel to spill all beans when sworn in and called before congress.....More popcorn, lots of butter and an extra large soda...Larger then NYC law allows, PLEASE!

" Joe was probably laughing, guffawing, and knee-slapping when the request for more security came from Chris Stevens. "

That's because the lack of security , well ? is a laughing matter to them.

I am getting the feeling that Obama is going to lose this election.
It's not counting your chickens before they are hatched.
We need to prophetically say it here and all of us say it... you know how words have power ?
Remember right after Obama took office Rush Limbaugh said " I hope he fails " .... and low and behold ? it came true.

It's not over confidence than it's having power to words...
Obama is going to lose this election.

What the hell do we need the Whitehouse for. They know nothing. They see nothing. They hear nothing.

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/09/27/us-officials-knew-libya-attack-was-terrorism-within-24-hours-sources-confirm/

Intelligence sources said that the Obama administration internally labeled the attack terrorism from the first day in order to unlock and mobilize certain resources to respond, and that officials were looking for one specific suspect. The sources said the intelligence community knew by Sept. 12 that the militant Ansar al-Shariah and Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb were likely behind the strike.

VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN: I will be very specific. Number one, the — this lecture on embassy security — the congressman here cut embassy security in his budget by $300 million below what we asked for, number one. So much for the embassy security piece.

I do not think that they will be able to turn this around in time of the election.....

Obama is going to lose this election.

The National Geographic Special 2 days before the election will not remind people of them taking out Osama Bin Laden,, ohhh no, no, no, no.
It will incite the Muslims around the world even more... and here in the USA it will remind people again of what happened in Libya, and Egypt.
In other words that National Geographic Special won't have the desired effect that they hoped for.
People will ask ?
If you had some great Intel information of getting Osama Bin Laden ?
Why then ?
The Intel was flawed in Benghazi ?
That's what people will be asking.
They don't care anymore of what happened to Osama Bin Laden.. that's history at this point.

I am waiting for Hillary to make her move (through her surrogates) which will be after the election. Obama better sleep with one eye open. It will not be purty.

She will never, EVER, take the fall for this.
