What Was President Obama Doing Tuesday Evening, September 11?

What Was President Obama Doing Tuesday Evening, September 11 OCT 28, 2012 • BY WILLIAM KRISTOL

While Americans were under assault in Benghazi? Which of his national security team did he meet with, whom did he speak with, what directives did he issue? So far, the White House won't say.

But we do know one thing the president found time to do that evening: He placed a call to Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu in order to defuse a controversy about President Obama's refusal to meet with Netanyahu two weeks later at the U.N. General Assembly, and, according to the White House announcement that evening, spent an hour on the phone with him: (snip)

In a statement issued Tuesday evening, the White House said, "President Obama spoke with Prime Minister Netanyahu for an hour tonight as a part of their ongoing consultations.

The two leaders discussed the threat posed by Iran's nuclear program, and our close cooperation on Iran and other security issues...

While Americans were under assault in Benghazi, the president found time for a non-urgent, politically useful, hour-long call to Prime Minister Netanyahu. And his senior national staff had to find time to arrange the call, brief the president for the call, monitor it, and provide an immediate read-out to the media. I suspect Prime Minister Netanyahu, of all people, would have understood the need to postpone or shorten the phone call if he were told that Americans were under attack as the president chatted. But for President Obama, a politically useful telephone call—and the ability to have his aides rush out and tell the media about that phone call—came first.

It would seem people are more concerned about what Obama didn’t do that night.

I really do not trust anything that the WH says. It is rarely truthful.

Probably in the newly constructed ‘secret’ bath house underneath the White House.

Well, we know what he wasn't doing.
His job.

Then, he hides behind the circled wagons of the complicit press and waits for Hillary to make the first move.
Once Hillary stuck her head up and didn't lose it, he tried to take a bit of blame too, thinking that it would all blow over.
The press, of course, did its part to hide this story. If it weren't for the Internet, it would be deader than a an American Ambassador in Libya.

 

The subsequent lies, coverup and media blackout are cause for investigation - yet the press is more interested in anything but Benghazi - despite the fact that the American ambassador was murdered there, all the while begging for help that Obama/Clinton withheld.

I’m aghast! This is just sick! To think, the Republicans are being castigated for asking these questions and being accused of “politicizing” the Benghazi attack. Sick, sick, sick.

On September 11, he appeared with “Pimp with a Limp”.

He considered that more important than attending his security briefings, which he completely blew off for weeks. Even the imbecile Jimmy Carter never missed a security briefing.

Thanx.

It was in the AM IIRC so before the attack?

Just looking for pieces of the puzzle.

However, the failure to provide security before and missing security briefings are part of the overall indictment.
