I think he wasn't there simply because he is lazy and unfocused. He just didn't care enough to take charge.

""... I think that he has never really been challenged intellectually. ... So what I sensed in him was not just a restless spirit but somebody with such extraordinary talents that they had to be really taxed in order for him to be happy." Jarrett was quite sure that one of the few things that truly engaged him fully before going to the White House was writing Dreams from My Father. "He's been bored to death his whole life," she said."

So the only thing that interested him was having Bill Ayers write a book about himself. I guess the problem with Benghazi wasn't about him so what did he care.

He was stoned and busy sexing. He looked like a wreck in the morning.

Think about this. You asked why would he want the ambassador dead. If this was indeed retribution for obama gunrunning gone bad, and once the assault started, obama went into political self-preservation mode, as did Hillary. He could have had an F-16 fly over with afterburners on and dispersed the aggressors. But now, after an assault he (obama) precipitated, why would he want Stevens to return to Congress and testify as to the truth. So…….if Stevens dies he cannot come back and talk to Congress, 6 weeks before the election. But there were 2 SEALS who showed up. If Doherty and Wood had not showed up, there would have been 34 other people who would have been killed. All mouths closed. No one talking to Congress. So, when obama issued the order to stand down, when the second man in charge in Tripoli called to tell the consulate that NO HELP WOULD BE COMING, that is Obama saying it is OK for the 4 men to die for obamas political fortunes…but even more he left the other 34 with no help from the USA to help get them out…..he haven them up to die. And that is why obama wanted Stevens to die, also Doherty, Woods, and 34 Americans to die. That is the kind of lead the USA has.

They would have to have concrete answers to the questions they would ask him before they ask. Then they could catch him lying under oath.

I think he was involved in something so bad, the American people would not stand for it for a second if they found out.

Valerie and Hillary know all about it.

Obama strikes me as an unstable person who has to be “handled”. Constantly.

When they found out that Stevens was dead, there was an “Aw-Sh@t!” moment, Obama was incapacitated, and Valerie went to Hillary, who is the fixer supreme in a panic. That’s when the video meme was hatched. And Hillary issued her video email at 10:09 pm EST.

Even if he was staying away from the situation room to have plausible deniability, that theory cannot stand because it is his JOB to be in that situation room.

All this happened between 3:30 pm and 11:30 pm EST. The President was in the White House almost the entire time, except for a short time in the afternoon. He was not somewhere where he was unreachable.

Biden, Panetta, Dempsey and Petraeus, Hillary were all at hand—not ut of the country or in the hospital, etc.

Yet not one of these went to the situation room or checked in on the progress of the raid they all knew was in progress?

This stinks!

And why, when our embassy in Cairo had ALREADY been overrun and there were riots breaking out in 21 countries, and it was Sept. 11th of all days, did we NOT have military forces positioned where they could respond quickly? What if we had to evacuate Americans from Cairo?

Pretty soon, the Democrats are going to have issue an apology to the Nixon family. The utter failure of the President and his entire Cabinet in this debacle can no longer be ignored. Their cowardice, indifference and lying puts all of us in danger.

I read on another thread today that the group that attacked was named after the blind sheik. Gives credence to the fake kidnap/swap theory. Explains why military was ordered to stand down.

Panetta/Dempsey tell Obama on the phone there's been a terror attack...5 pm.

Mme Hillary talks to Greg Hicks a few hours later...no mention of video.

Obama calls Mme Hillary at 10 pm.

Hillary releases the statement about the video a half hour later.

My guess is that Obama was busy with Jarrett upstairs cooking up the video lie while the attack was still taking place. The underlings in the situation room didn't do anything because they needed an order from the CIC.

Hillary the fixer supreme maybe so. Yea, she may have to hire another lemming shoe thrower. Didn’t she fake a broken arm to avoid testifying over something? The sh*t this bunch of goons shovel on us daily makes me feel I should wear boots. Saul Alinksky must be beaming down there in hell at his creation. Instead of the Jumanji board game, we all got sucked into a book crossed between Rules for Radicals and Screw tape letters.

If he had simply issued a CBA order and told Panetta to “a)pull out all the stops” and “b)call me immediately if you require any further decisions from me” I wouldn’t care if he went to the Situation Room. But it is clear that he didn’t issue a CBA.

IMHO, Obama wanted Ambassador Stevens to be in captivity rather than dead. The ambassador was probably killed when the kidnapping plan went awry. A live, kidnapped ambassador could be exchanged for the release of the Blind Sheik. While this is clearly speculation on my part, I don’t think that it’s unreasonable speculation.

I ope we all see the day when they are frogmarched into Ft. Leavenworth wearing orange jumpsuits.

With the blood of 60 million innocents on our heads, we can’t blame God for this predicament.

But I pray He will have mercy on America one more time, and to send these cretins packing.

I think he had already flown out to Vegas and was partying with JZ and the crew...which is why he looked so blood shot when he made that speech the next morning.

That would have cost him the election for sure, so they cover for him and make up a narrative.

If the commander doesnt show up for duty...then he doesnt have to make any commands. Clearly he did NOT want to send in the cavalry. We need to find out WHY? Screw the video.

obama wasn’t in the situation room because he was busy dusting his peace prize, or staring at it.

He had been making a big deal on the campaign trail about how al Qaeda was on-the-run. Being seen in the Situation Room attempting to rescue a U.S. Ambassador from a terrorist attack didn’t fit that narrative. Obama’s absence was all about saving face a few weeks before the election. He hoped it would all work out. When it didn’t, he and his thugs went with the video/protest explanation.
