The appalling Obama foreign policy team: The case of Tommy Vietor
The American Thinker ^ | 5-2-14 | Thomas Lifson

Posted on 05/02/2014 5:46:40 AM PDT by afraidfortherepublic

Former National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor appeared last night on Bret Baier’s Fox News Channel program Special Report, in an attempt at damage control, but only made things worse for the Obama Benghazi cover-up. Two pieces of actual news were generated, but perhaps the greatest damage was done by Vietor’s immature self-presentation, revealing the low level of qualifications necessary for high responsibility in the Obama White House.

First, the two pieces of actual news:

1.President Obama wasn’t in the Situation Room the night of September 11, 2012, as our ambassador to Libya and three other men were being attacked, captured, and eventually killed after being dragged through the streets of Benghazi and tortured in hideous fashion.

Obama and Clinton have apparently gone into the witness protection program or something.

Ben Rhodes .....Rhodes had just earned a master's degree in fiction writing ....

*************************************

Looks like he is HIGHLY qualified for his job in this particular administration ...[/s]

Saw Vietor (the "van driver") with Baier last night .... juvenile and disgraceful, frankly ... and obviously lying his @ss off.

Great examples of Obama's absolute and total contempt for this country and the American people, that he would put such incompetent, unqualified persons in such critical positions and subject our people in general and specifically like the 4 who died in Benghazi & our military, to the dangerous whims of these boobs .... or maybe I should say 'dudes' and 'dudettes'.

Our foreign policy is apparently in the hands of 17 year old Ashton Kutcher wannabes.

Sure seems to explain a lot.

Devastating and frightening to say the least!!! To have someone as immature, as Tommy Vietor on the staff pf the POTUS Obama team is mind blowing and scares me to the bone!!! I would not let Mr. Tommy Vietor take my garbage out......but....sadly that goes for Obama and Hillary Clinton, too. Pubbies, drag Leon Panetta up to the hill to testify/comment. Leon Panetta knows exactly what happened and is hiding, praying he does not have to testify in front of the American public.

Listening to the totally immature Vietor being interviewed is revealing....as his manner is flippant, unconcerned and carefree over the deaths of a USA Ambassador and three public servants. Obama should be impeached....and Hillary Clinton should disappear into a cesspool of obscurity, forever!!!

Tommy Vietor may be surprised that words actually mean things and you can go to jail for using them in the wrong way. Sometimes.
