I really hope that Congress stays with this.

This has a very bad smell about it, as though this was a deliberate set up by the White House.

According to the MSM it’s Bush’s fault.

People need to decide whether Obama is just totally incompetent or deliberately treasonous.

Is he on the side of America or the Muslims?

I know what my decision is, and I would vote for any American over our mystery President.

How can Democrat American politicians continue to follow this Leader of their party? How can Republicans stay quiet?

How can we remove these people from office?

Actually its far worse than that.

If you will notice the State dept. won't release the real time tape since its incredibly incriminating from what I hear.

Last night on Judge Jeanine Lt. Col. Anthony Shaffer stated that at almost any time during the 8 hour seige in Benghazi help could have been sent and reached the area in about a half hour from nearby U.S. ships off N. Africa.

This is a huge blockbuster claim and may windup being really hard to explain away.

My impressions as I watched this unfold:

No one at the White House was minding the store, as they say.

Obama went to bed and took his usual sleep aid.

During the crisis they tried to wake him to take command. He did not. It was put off until the morning hours in Washington.

Obama gave a very curiously mild response and said he had to get on the road to his fund- raiser in Colorado, leaving this matter hanging.

When you are an enemy of America, you can ignore events like Benghazi. In the great scheme of trying to get re-elected, Libya is of no concern to our "transformational" president now.

OK. In fairness to Obama, I am disturbed that I see a growing number of people saying he has a failed foreign policy. This is not true. He has no foreign policy. His laser like focus is on jobs. He and his administration will not rest until there are no jobs. Please be honest. Thank you.

I have been saying that for weeks now. There was no reason for the White House to fabricate the blame on some obscure film. All they ever had to say was, “under investigation.”

But ...no....they had to attempt to hang blame. May this be 0bama’s undoing.

Just saw Dana Perrino on Fox running interference for Obama. “They didn’t deliberately mislead anyone”

I agree....There are videos of this attack....and from several sources....They knew exactly what was going on and did nothing.

It was the lack of security which made the embassy a target.....

In the end, I believe Stevens knew too much and was a "sacrifice"....and that can only fall on Obama.

Yeah...at this point one has to wonder even about Fox. There seems to be a clear consensus across the media that we somehow “need” four more years of this fraud.

Maybe a huge war is shaping up in the Middle East and the powers that be want a preceived Muslim in the White House...it’s the only thing I can figure.

When Romney says tommorrow Night that Mr. President you said last week you were offended that someone would Suggest you would Mislead the American People about an Ambassador being Killed,These are your people ,you send them into Dangerous areas,WELL,YOU,The Secretary of State,Your UN Ambassador,In appearance after appearance Stated That The Intelligence you had at the time,said this was caused by a Video. Mr.President the “Sensitve Documents”sent by Ambassador Stevens Himself,and there were several,was begging for additonal security.He stated that Islamic Extremism was on the Rise,Alqueda Flags were flying over Government Buildings,the Attacks on the American Red Cross,the British Ambassador were by Islamist extremists,and was going to get worse unless more security was sent.
Now Mr. President,neither you,Hillary Clinton,or UN ambassador Susan Rice mentioned Islamic Extremism,Alqueda at all as being involved in any of these actions on Television or the speech in the Rose Garden or any of the Comedy or talk shows. This is your problem Mr. President Your Ideology,you refuse to Identify who it is who are trying to kill us,you are purging from all Government Corresponce any mention of Islamist extremism,your Campaign until the Murder of ambassador Stevens was claiming that Alqueda was on its Heels,now you drop that from your speeches. Yes Mr. President you have Mislead the American People,your Ideology Prevents you from admitting who it is we are Fighting and the American People Are entitled to Know the truth and to Have a President who has the Courage to Tell it to them

Good catch! From the link:
After the U.S. consulate in Benghazi had been damaged by an improvised explosive device, earlier that month, Stevens had reported to his superiors that
  • an Islamist group had claimed credit for the attack,
and in so doing, had “described the attack as
  • ‘targeting the Christians supervising the management of the consulate.”
So Stevens’ “hair was on fire” - and the State Department just whistled past the graveyard.

Then when the going got tough, Obama was taking a nap. And then rhetorically subverted the First Amendment at the UN.

It has the earmarks of a political assassination or in more frank language, murder.

The one remaining question is who was the top dog that orchestrated or gave orders to make it happen?
