President Obama didn’t make any phone calls the night of the Sept. 11 attacks on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, the White House said in a letter to Congress released Thursday.

“During the entire attack, the president of the United States never picked up the phone to put the weight of his office in the mix,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham, South Carolina Republican, who had held up Mr. Obama’s defense secretary nominee to force the information to be released.

Mr. Graham said that if Mr. Obama had picked up the phone, at least two of the Americans killed in the attacks on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi might still be alive because he might have been able to push U.S. aid to get to the scene faster.

The White House has said Mr. Obama was kept up to date on the attack by his staff, though after being alerted to the attack in a pre-scheduled afternoon meeting he never spoke again with the defense secretary or the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Why is this a surprise? after all there was campaigning...and fund raising...to do.Looks like the Former Twelfth Lady was right about that 3AM phone call.Of course *she* failed the 3AM phone call test as well but what difference does *that* make now ???

You are generous to assume it was only beer. I would have said “cocaine”.

It is always nice to get reminders that, in spite of whatever objections we may have with any Republican candidates that emerge or have emerged, none of them will ever be as gargantuan a nightmare as what we have now. And we can realize the need to place whatever differences we have aside and unite, regardless of what candidates are our ideal choice, to do something about the monstrosities we currently have leading the US gov’t. I think it helps to look at the silver linings in these kinds of stories.

But yes, I will will remember to pray to our Lord for the families of these murdered troops and pray the Lord is looking after them and pray that one day they will get the justice they deserve.

Good luck with that with coward (chicken $hit) Boehner in the House and a comfortable majority of CRAT, FAR BELOW the 2/3rd's super majority it requires to remove the muslim communist dictator from office. Get serious.

It will NEVER, NEVER, NEVER NEVER, NEVER, NEVER NEVER, NEVER, NEVER NEVER, NEVER, NEVER NEVER, NEVER, NEVER NEVER, NEVER, NEVER happen. The dictator is, under the current circumstances, INVINCIBLE. He is our dictator. Ge used to it. Bow down to him.
