Hillary Clinton: "I Take Responsibility" For Benghazi (But It Was An Underlng's Fault)
Ace of Spades HQ ^

Posted on 10/15/2012 6:38:31 PM PDT by Perdogg

But of course she blames it on lower-level advisers.

She says "I am responsible" for the security of State's 60,000 workers, but then says she's not responsible at all:

"The decision about security aspects are made by security professionals."

Source: Wendell Goler on FoxNews, about 40 minutes ago. The quote was printed on screen.

I'm responsible, but then again, I'm not; the buck stops with me, but not really, it was this low-level political appointee scapegoat who's going to claim he "shielded" me from these demands for additional security on his own authority.

But don't blame the President. See, I've taken responsibility.

I was responsible for the low-level scapegoat whose fault this really is.

Okay, Ms. Clinton: What are the names of these "security professionals" you say made this decision? Forgive my suspicions, but I'd like to ask them for their side of the story.

Of COURSE she takes “responsibility”... The press will laud her as a “real leader” and ENGINEER the forgiveness and reconstruction tour to “assure” us of how she would be an amazing president in 2016.

Obama’s effort to blame Hillary for the debacle in Lybia is the death knell for his campaign. It’s not because of his unwillingness to accept responsibility, it’s because he has just given every hard core liberal woman a reason not to vote for him, he has thrown the leader of their cause under the bus. Obama is not only losing more independents, he is losing liberal democrat women. They may not vote for Romney, but they won’t be voting for Obama either.

Yep. This is a knife in Obama’s guts. She just threw him under the bus. The Clintons are not crossed.

It’s the voters fault. They voted for him.

Tell me I’m wrong.

I think several of the folks here are on to something. Obama will stand up and take responsibility on Tuesday nite. That is one of the public meme’s about Obama... he takes no responsibility. This could be a brilliant move on his part. And the media would love him for it. And cover for the actual incident, while they lavished praise for his personal responsiblity.

So, who’s exactly is under the bus?

Hillary is, and she doesn't realize it. I'm sure slick Willy advised her that the lack of anyone accepting responsibility is not playing well with the American public. She thinks that she can gain trust by stepping up and saying she is at fault - doing the mea culpa and appearing to be a responsible leader, in the process. The problem is: Barry is going to drill it home and use it as his teflon sheet. Barry and the Clintons have absolutely no love for one another - he wont bat an eye at walking out of the backdoor on this one.

Who is responsible for the "video" hoax?

Who is responsible for ignoring the real-time feed coming from the burning consulate?

Hmmm Abu Ghraib is absolutely Bush’s fault? With Benghazi, there is absolutely no connection to the current occupant of the White House? Makes one wonder about investigative journalism now doesn’t it??????

Hillary isn’t a chick; nor has she stood up for anything, rather there was a big BUT attached. Something’s dotten in Renmark.

No, she’s more like a deer I saw get run over by a jeep: ground clearance was high enough that it rolled under a couple times, got up, and continued on its way.

She will suffer nothing by taking this blame. It’s just words to the Left.

Nothing like a bunch of corrupt lawyers to blame others for their crimes.

Shakespeare had it right.

No wonder Obama loves Sesame Street - Hillary is the world's muppet and Obama has his hand up her backside.

She would say it if she that she expected there to be nothing but the most minor repercussions from it.

Supposedly the next pope is the last pope and his name is Peter.

I had forgotten that the prophecy of St Malachy gives the next pope the name "Petrus Romanus":

In the persecution of the Holy Roman Church, there will reign Peter the Roman, who will feed his flock among many tribulations after which the seven hilled city will be destroyed and the dreadful Judge will judge the people.

Then he’ll get criticized for waiting 5 weeks to admit responsibility.
And that would not end it. What about the BS about blaming the youtube video?
