If Romney doesn’t go that way, maybe he can go with “Mr. President, given that Secretary Clinton has accepted responsibility for the lack of security which enabled the attacks in Benghazi to claim the lives of our Ambassador and four others, has she submitted her resignation? If not, will you be asking for her resignation?

If neither of those is the case, what is the actual cost of her acceptance of responsibility?

There are so many interesting ways in which Romney could effectively play this. Yours is a good one. I hope Romney doesn’t pass on the opportunity.

Exactly.

Benghazi-gate is the biggest presidential scandal since Fast and Furious. Obama is DIRECTLY responsible for people dying.

Not even the Clinton scandals - not even Watergate were as bad as B. Hussein’s scandals.

Yet, the media and the wussies in the GOP party are too whipped to call for hearings and investigations.

I’m waiting for the WH or the State Dep. to release the document that warned all personnel travel of any kind in Libya
was to be curtailed for any reason, and the Ambassador created this situation on his own accord.

He CANNOT pass on the opportunity; it would cost him dearly and I’m sure he knows that.

Mitt could do that but it would go nowhere. Obama can say “of course the buck stops with him ...” while not accepting any blame. That is too easy. No, mitt needs to ask specific questions about the coverup, what did the president know and when, why was there no security?, why was there differing accounts of why this happened, does obama still think the video caused all this, etc? It should be watergate style questioning.

I’m surprised that they do not have him wearing glasses so that they can run his lines on the lens.

Barack Hussein Obama, the number one low life on the entire planet and universe!!! America, wake up....and, broom this dirt bag of a human being!!! Can you just imagine the terror and fright that went through our four (4) American Patriots as they were tortured, slaughtered and murdered while Obama slept right through without giving them a thought??? What a cold hearted, America hating despot this poor excuse for a human being is. And...the next day he leaves to play and raise money in Las Vegas. Wake up, Americans!!!

Perfect!

Nobody but 0BAMBI could have failed to have a response ready for that obvious question.

FAIL!

We have a certified WUSS for a President, and Mitt’s gonna clean his clock on this statement tonight.

Woo hoo!

Maybe Hillary really DID throw him under the bus!!

She knifed him. It makes him look like what he is: a "blame-others" weasel and oblivious weakling who doesn't know what's going on in his own administration.

The fact that he fumbled his response is proof of it. Any real president would has stood up and claimed that he's the president and bears ultimate responsibility for the country's national security, including the safety of its diplomats. He didn't. He weaseled.

“In the debate tonight, Romney should say something like:”...

That’s perfect. Hopefully the Romney people are looking at your post and will take heed.

Yes, the ice is melting right under 0’s feet, I can feel it.

Of the hundreds of questions submitted to Candy Crowley - for her to pick over - for her to find the 20 questions that make her guy look good and to make Romney look bad - serious ones about Benghazi will not be included. Nope not in this 'debate' or 'citizens as props for liberals to use to bash Romeny' - as I like to think of it.

Oh, and the CNN production crew is going to try to one-up the ABC crew in getting pictures that gin up the democrat base....

Mr. President, If you are truly concerned about the failure to protect our ambassador, you would have already started your own intensive investigation as to what went wrong, and by now determined the weak link in YOUR administration AND taken action to correct/remove those at fault.

I think the plan is to steadily turn up the heat on Libya and wait for the kenyan to boil over in one of the debates. The McCain statement last night was part of it.

Of the hundreds of questions Candy gets to sift through to glean for the 'special 20 questions " this will be one... Romney's tax returns from a decade ago will trump our Ambassador being raped and murdered last month...

I read the comments on Yahoo last night under the story of Hildabeast’s statement. My God, I thought I was reading the comments here on Free Republic! It was 100% anti-0bama! They were everything from 0bama throwing her under the bus to being part of his war on women to being a wuss for hiding behind her skirt! There were NO, and I mean NOT ONE single comment that defended BO.
