Why? Bill Clinton put himself out there to speak for Obama at the DNC convention and you can damn well bet he's all over Obama right now telling not to even think about putting this all on Hillary, or he'll have some dishing of his own to do for the media.
You can also bet that Barack is getting very different orders from his own wife on a constant basis. He's gonna look and feel mighty tired when Tuesday's debate rolls around. Them all (except Bill) being from Chicago doesn't help, either.
Great observation. Directly responsible for the Benghazi fiasco is Hillary Clinton, by virtue of the mission of the US State Department, and her duty to fulfill it. If she is in anyway impeded from fulfilling her responsibility to the mission, say, by lowering reasonable security measures that do not match the real threat, because of a desire to lighten our footprint, she should RESIGN. She did not.
Republicans are aiming at Rice who is under Hillary, and at Obama who is over Hillary, thereby protecting and preserving her.
