BREAKING: Obama made no phone calls on night of Benghazi attack, White House says
Washington Times ^ | February 14, 2013 | Stephan Dinan

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.

THE LITTLE MAN THAT WASN'T THERE

That night inside the Oval Office lair
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away....

I looked and looked around DC
For that is where the man should be
But when I looked around the Mall
I couldn't see him there at all

Go away, go away, don't come back no more!
Go away, go away, and please don't slam the door

That awful night, I saw upon the Chair
A President who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
Oh, how I wish he'd go away......!!!

Go away, go away, don't you come back no more
Go away, go away, and please don't slam the door....(SLAM !)

Obama probably called the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt to get instructions.

Bush and Cheney and Condi would have been up all night dealing with this. Imagine, going to bed while the first ambassodor in 30 years is killed because of your dereliction of duty. Impeach.

The office isn’t light. Its occupant is. Was there a Sponge Bob Square Pants marathon he just didn’t want to miss?

Why is Lindsay Graham the ONLY senator that seems to want to get to the bottom of this?

I think he gave the orders to do nothing and then walked away to play bball or have some cocktails or something. He is King after all, can’t be bothered with the little people.

Obama does not care!!! He does not care about White folks, he does not care about Black folks, he does not care about Hispanics, he does not care about our military folks, he does not care about any true, loyal and patriotic Americans, he does not care about our beloved country!!! HE ONLY CARES ABOUT HIMSELF!!!

Wise up, deadbest Americans, you are lambs being led to the slaughter!!!

Good catch on the supposed phone call ‘with his national security team’!

He was derelict in his duty and then lied about it. Impeachable offense.

Come on, people—he’s got a special phone that has no records, no ties and he answers only to who is on the other end. Whoever is on the other end is engineering this madness.

We cannot ever impeach the Marxist Mulatto, and I’ll tell you why...

By bringing articles of impeachment against the Kenyan, you are admitting to the world and to history that Odinga is the legitimate President. All that talk of natural born citizen and foreign-born illegitimate argument just went out the airlock. Because YOU ARE SAYING that he is the legal President, otherwise you can’t impeach him.

By impeaching him, you are granting him legal status before the Senate and the Constitution.

I believe you have a picture of who/what is behind taking down the USA. Perhaps not in detail but in scope. I’ll throw in a few entities like the Chicago gang of communists including the Axelrod family. Throw in the Muslims including Jarret and Brenner. Throw in the internationalists like Soros and Muslim/Arab money. If one really wants to dig into this don’t forget the Rockefellers and Rothchild associated bankers. It is not crazy thinking to believe all of these entities are involved in transforming the USA through the stooge Obama and the 50% of people in the USA who are part and pacel of what is happening.
