Obama denounces Benghazi cover-up charges as ‘political circus’

Obama denounces Benghazi cover-up charges as ‘political circus’ The Ticket By Olivier Knox, Yahoo! News | The Ticket – 1 hr 15 mins ago

President Barack Obama on Monday furiously dismissed as a "political circus" Republican charges that his administration had misled the public about the Sept. 12, 2012, attack on the U.S. compound in Benghazi, Libya. Obama said the accusations of a cover-up dishonor the memory of the four Americans killed in the onslaught.

"There’s no 'there' there,” Obama insisted during a joint question-and-answer session with British Prime Minister David Cameron at the White House. "And the fact that this keeps on getting churned out, frankly, has a lot to do with political motivations."

The president’s angry words came after news reports surfaced Friday that the White House had overseen a process that repeatedly watered down administration talking points on the attack, removing references to possible involvement by al-Qaida and to prior warnings about threats in Benghazi. Republicans have charged that the White House was worried about the potential political fallout from the spectacular terrorist attack during Obama's re-election campaign. The White House has repeatedly denied that it deliberately misled the public.

"The whole issue of talking points, frankly, throughout this process has been a sideshow," Obama said.

The talking points, which portrayed the attack as evolving from a demonstration of anger at an Internet video that mocked Islam, "pretty much matched the assessments that I was receiving at that time in my presidential daily briefing," he added, referring to his top-secret morning intelligence review with the CIA.

The circus was Obama watching the Ambassador being gang raped in real time.

Why doesn’t he just come out and spit on the families of the fallen? Calling them clowns for wanting answers? Disgusting vermin, he is.

“You’ve grown up hearing voices that incessantly warn of government as nothing more than some separate, sinister entity that’s at the root of all our problems,” Obama said. “You should reject these voices. Because what these suggest is that somehow our brave, creative, unique experiment in self-rule is just a sham with which we can’t be trusted.”

Excerpt from Ohio State commencement speech couple of weeks ago.

Four Americans murdered by Obama say that Benghazi cover-up charges as NOT ‘political circus’

This was a hate crime committed by Obama. Just as surely as he personally pulled the trigger.

Obama must be apprehended and stopped or it will get a lot worse. Thousands of Americans will die , not just 4.People need to understand this fact.Obama could do the same thing with a whole carrier battle group, for example, or with a whole division of US soldiers.

President Assclown is right. It is a sideshow.

The real issue is why was Ambassador Stevens acting as an arms broker to funnel weapons to Syrian rebels through Turkey.

And where was Assclown while the attack was happening?

They had the “Do Not Disturb” sign on the door.

Yes, Mr. Obama, I understand that with your view of our country, it is a circus to you. But to Americans, we take freedom from tyranny very seriously, and that includes not not leaving Americans out to DIE so you can personally benefit politically.

It means the CIC shouldn’t pass small arms to drug lords in foreigh countries unbeknownst to Congress or the host country.

It means NOT using the IRS as your personal Stasi.

You, sir, are not worthy of the presidency, or of being called an American!

“Frankly, if anybody out there wants to actually focus on how we make sure something like this does not happen again, I am happy to get their advice and information and counsel,” Obama said.

RESIGN! How's that for advice and counsel, you incompetent, lying, lazy jerk!

The talking points are a sideshow, and the administration is eager to keep the focus on the talking points. BECAUSE, they have absolutely NOTHING to do with at a minimum, gross negligence of duty BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER THE BENGHAZI attack and murders of four Americans. Really, what difference does it make, at this point who said what AFTERWARDS? It still remains the same, four Americans are dead because this administration refused in multiple actions or inactions, to protect our people from terrorism.
