The White House scrambled Friday to explain Vice President Biden's confusing statement that "we weren't told" of requests for more diplomatic security in Libya, claiming he was referring only to "himself" and President Obama.
Biden, during Thursday's debate, had made the controversial statement in response to criticism from Paul Ryan about the protection of diplomatic posts in Libya in the run-up to the Sept. 11 terror attack.
Moderator Martha Raddatz pressed him: "And they wanted more security there."
But Biden responded: "Well, we weren't told they wanted more security there. We did not know they wanted more security again."

The Administration put a drone over the site to watch the murders, but they didn’t put an F-16 over the site to prevent the murders.
Uh...Not attending intelligence briefings???
Maybe a little more time governing and a little less time partying or playing golf or vacationing?
That’s the old “plausible deniability’ argument. I knew it was coming. State tried to throw the WH under the bus. They’re going to find out that coupled with the media, the WH’s bus is bigger.
That is the problem in a nut shell! They don’t know what the hell is going on because you have a sitting president going on the view so that he can be eye candy! Have they gone to any intelligence briefings? Or was Obama just too busy!!!!
The buck stops with those two idiots! That is that!
Oh no Obama has convinced me now. The ambassador begged for more security, didn’t get it, and was slaughtered. And Obama’s defense is “ not my job, nobody told me”. Sure, that’s a good administration.
What a flaming train wreck! I knew that this administration would be terrible but wow!
They’re hoping that “lazy and incompetent” does less harm than “negligent and culpable”.

In my opinion what we may be seeing here is the beginnings of a major internal war within the Administration. Obastard has realized the Clinton’s were beginning to undermine him and position Hillary for 2016, and he is respondng by setting up to throw Her Thighness under the bus and destroy any future aspirations she has.
“But Biden responded: “Well, we weren’t told they wanted more security there. We did not know they wanted more security again.”
He obviously wasn’t speaking for himself so Carney is full of crap too!
The @zzholes in the administration are having a contest to see who can fool us with the most convincing CYA memo.
Any bets on who wins?
You could be right. But I’m leaning more towards Hillary being just as incompetent as Obama. They are all clueless and have absolutely no idea what they are doing!
There are so many asses that need to be covered right now so I couldn’t even hazard a guess!
I just heard on the radio that the administration is still “fuzzy” as to who knew what, when......
Lie or Incompetence...either way, epic failure of this administration. Trust me, if you changed the names to Bush, Cheney, the left would be all over this calling for peoples heads (as well they should be). Least we forget, people died because of this...........
And as one lady admitted in the Oversite hearing the other day, funding or lack of it, was not an issue in the lack of security...she stated they how have gotten the money from somewhere!
PLUS they could have “Thought” this out, they should have been able to say “GET THEM SECURITY” without being asked for!
In business we call it “thinking outside the box”...............you would think the GREAT SKILLED MASTERMAN Obama who’s brilliance is so superior to all others...could have, should have understood this fact and handled looking out for one of our own without being asked.
Joe always refers to himself in the first-person plural. Hello, we are Joe Biden, and we didn’t know anything about anybody asking for more security anywhere.
Carney is saying the “we” meant obama, Biden and the voices in Biden’s head.
[ They’re hoping that “lazy and incompetent” does less harm than “negligent and culpable”. ]
LoL.. that would be a very good punch line for some aspiring comic..
EXCEPT that ....
Eric Holder(Attorney General) is Barry Obama’s “bitch”..
could be dangerous these days.. “punch lines can”
** lots of Barry’s “bitches” there in Washington D.C.
i.e. the heads of the CIA, FBI, NSA, BATF, Secret Service, Joint Chiefs, CEOS of most major media, almost any academic institution, almost any HollyWierdo with a couple of million to rub together.. and last but not least several FOX anchors.. almost all Presstitutes..
