At the second presidential debate this week, Barack Obama finally appeared to man-up and acknowledge that, as president and commander in chief, he was responsible for the deaths of four Americans during the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi.
After all, said the president, the secretary of state “works for me,” and as the top person in the administration’s chain of command, the buck stopped at him.
(snip)
After the Clinton legal team had a chance to review the State Department cable traffic between Benghazi and Washington, the experts came to the conclusion that the cables proved that Hillary had in fact given specific instructions to beef up security in Libya, and that if those orders had been carried out — which they weren’t — they could conceivably have avoided the tragedy.
Clearly, someone in the Obama administration dropped the ball — and the president was still insisting that it was not his fault.
In the end, then, Hillary decided to assume responsibility to show that she was acting more presidential than the president.
I am told by my sources that she firmly believes that when the State Department cable traffic is made public, either through leaks to the press or during formal House committee hearings, it will exonerate her and shift the blame for the entire mess onto the president.

Not that I don't have my suspicions about you and your Clinton legal team ......
Why is there ALWAYS a Clinton legal team?
Bingo! Hillary collected a HUGE marker from Obama here. She can true-up “history” after the election.
Nope. I don’t believe it for a minute. Those cables would have been out by now because Obama could have said, “See! See! My Secretary of State was trying to increase security!”
A reporter needs to do a timeline on Obama and Hillary for those two days. I’m thinking they watched the events in Benghazi and then had a meeting to plan the coverup. It may have been a teleconference, but they had a meeting to coordinate the coverup.
Probably Donilon blocked it. He’s such an idiot.
>>> National Security Advisor Tom Donilon .....

We really need to pay closer attention to Lybia attack and lies/cover up timeline
‘bloked’ it or he is the leaker?
How in the world did I write Lybia?
Libya, Libya, Libya.....
Hillary might get an education on just how difficult it can be to get a story to the public if it in any way damages the One!
I suspected such—Hillary is many things but she is not stupid—she would have covered her A$$ completely—she learned a few things from Bill. He only screwed up when he let his manhood do the thinking.
Hillary's Libya problem is different from her Lybia problem. Or something like that.
She’s trying to avoid the appearance of dumping it ALL on da black guy cuz I think she’s still thinking about running for something. That’s also why Bill doesn’t dump on Hussein —the black vote.
The Buck stops with Hillary Clintoon...
UNLESS the buck actually stops with Zero and the Zeromiesters..
As Zero said during the debate HE is head-moron.. the buck stops with him..
So many morons it’s hard to keep up..
So, Hillary ordered for security to be beefed up in Libya, and she has the cables to prove it. If this is true, then the question becomes who in the White House rescinded this order?
My understanding is the Director of National Intelligence offices in the west wing, and monitors these communications in real time.
This could be hugh, and series.
>>> This could be hugh, and series.
This SHOULD be huge.
Yet. We have ‘million men march for Big Bird’ and nonstop “BinderGate” all pushed by ObamaCamp and talkingheads on the tv tubes.....

snuph comment to his thread:
“The Clintons are out in force today!!! 3rd post on their actions to throw Zero under the bus today.”
Wonderful! :-)
Let’s get the information just in time for next week’s debate.
The poop’s about to hit the fan, and it’s going to go all over ZERO.
You're missing the point. Saying that she tried to increase security but that the White House turned it down, puts the mess on him and him alone. He wanted her to be the scapegoat, but that's not going to happen. He gets the blame now.
