Obama takes 'offense' on some Benghazi accusations
Politico ^ | October 29, 2012 | BYRON TAU

President Obama fired back at critics who have accused his administration of orchestrating a cover up over the September attacks in Libya.

“I do take offense with some suggestion that in any way, we haven’t tried to make sure that the American people knew as the information was coming in what we believed," Obama told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" in an interview that aired Monday.

“If we find out we that there was a big breakdown, and somebody didn’t do their job, they’ll be held accountable,” Obama said.

“Ultimately, as commander-in-chief, I’m responsible, and I don’t shy away from that responsibility. My number one responsibility is to go after the folks who did this, and we’re going to make sure we get them,” Obama said.

Oooooooo....!!!

Obama's offended.

Well, people that you were supposed to protect are DEAD so take your offended and shove it up your @$$ you Muzzie motherjammer!

(Sorry, I get upset over wanton killing of SEALS by their commanders.)

If our nation allows this to pass without bringing Obama to justice then we truly are just another worthless nation of sheep.

It sounds like Obama is going to have to "be responsible" and "hold himself accountable."

Calling moozlum terrorists “folks” is the equivalent of police referring to a murderer as a “gentleman”. What a complete feckless anti-American idiot this thing is. nobama needs more time on his prayer rug apparently.

Anything that can be done which "offends" you, I support 100%.

If we find out we that there was a big breakdown, and somebody didn’t do their job, they’ll be held accountable...

That's what we're counting on, come election day.

No, your number one responsibility was to give them military support when the attack was occurring, and you went to Vegas instead.

No. Your responsibility is to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution and our nations vital interests. The Benghazi terrorist assault proves your reelection trumps this duty. Treason.

Gotta agree with you there. And at the top of the Worthless List would be the Republicans in the US Congress. We have given them laws that enable them to do something about presidents like Obama, but they are gutless.

Ultimately, as commander-in-chief, I’m responsible

But sadly won't be held accountable or prosecuted.

Liars should be offended by our responses to their lies.
Otherwise, we are condoning their behavior.

Obama is “offended”, how ironic.

We take offense that an American hero was killed by mortar fire, while painting the mortar position with a laser ahead of air support that was denied.
