Here's How Newly Released Benghazi Emails Could Actually Embarrass the White House
Yahoo News ^ | August 29, 2013 | Phillip Bump

In the immediate aftermath of the 2012 attack on the consulate in Benghazi, Libya, the White House quickly jumped from questions about the cause of the attack to blaming the incendiary YouTube video promoted by Florida pastor Terry Jones.

Last May, a set of emails was leaked by opponents of President Obama outlining the development of the talking points then-UN Ambassador Susan Rice used in a series of television appearances following the September 11, 2012 attack. The White House then released a more complete set of messages, effectively neutralizing critique of how the talking points were created.

“Actually embarrass”? If 0bama was a Republican President the MSM would be demanding his resignation. Demanding it.

BOOM! Tommy Vietor – Former NSA Spox – Admits Obama Never Made it to Situation Room During Benghazi Attack! (Video)

Posted by Jim Hoft on Thursday, May 1, 2014,

Tommy Vietor – Former NSA Spokesman – Admits Obama Never Made it to Situation Room During Benghazi Attack
Now we know that Barack Obama was in the White House but NEVER MADE IT to the Situation Room the night of the Benghazi Attack on 9-11 2012.

This was after Islamists stormed the US Embassy in Cairo earlier in the day.

Obama never made it to the Situation Room.

Tommy Vietor was there. Obama wasn’t.

Tommy Vietor: I was in the Situation Room that night. Ok.

And we didn’t know where the ambassador was. Definitively.

Bret Baier: Was the president in the Situation Room?

Vietor: No…

Baier: Where was the president.

Vietor: In the White House.

Baier: He wasn’t in the Situation Room.

Vietor: Uhh. At what point in the evening. He was constantly… It’s well known that when the attack was first briefed to him it was in the Oval Office. And he was updated constantly…

Baier: Sp then when Hillary Clinton talks to him by phone at 10 PM, he’s where?

Vietor: I don’t know. I don’t have a tracking device on him in the residence.

Baier: But you were in the Situation Room and he wasn’t there.

Vietor: Yes.

The Consulate was under attack and Obama never made it downstairs to the Situation Room!

Tommy Vietor was another embarrassment to his boss. He actually called Bret ‘dude’. Lord, save our country from these destructors.

Imagine what they would do if it wasn’t a president who was a liberal.

I have a suggestion to help “this never to happen again. It involves a hundred or so yards of stout hemp rope...

Watch closely as the media backs away from Obama and circles the wagons around Hillary.

How can anyone in the White House be embarrassed when none of them have an ounce of shame?

My blue-dog Democrat friend across the street just said the same thing. He’s a political junkie like I am and we have some great convos. I would classify him as pretty conservative and he HATES Obama.

Another dozen events that I've forgotten...

The Media is corrupt to the core and are greater enemy to America than any clown in the White House.

Just a bit ago, I asked an Obama boot-licker, “Now what do you think? We told you they were lying.”

He was stone-cold serious when he sneered, “We told you there were no WMDs in Iraq. You did nothing. We’re returning the favor. ‘Eye for an eye.’ Isn’t that your mantra?”

I said, “May your chains rest lightly upon you.”

Whether it’s abject stupidity or spite, it’s still un-friggin-believable.

SMH. Well, the Dem I know is pretty open minded (which really is rare) and had Obama’s number from the get-go. Just hope he doesn’t vote for the Dem candidate in 2014. I hope his eyes have been opened.
