When they asked what he wanted to do he probably soiled himelf and ran to Valerie Jarrett to get his nappies changed.
I sounds like someone, maybe Valerie or Axelrod is actually running the executive branch. They are answering to someone else outside this country, but who?? Who is controlling this puppet regime?
Obama likely had NO idea how to respond. He has no military experience nor even a passing interest.
Without a moral backbone, one has to lead by committee & consensus. This takes time. So close to an election makes a quick decision almost impossible. I imagine the military voices in the room calling for assistance for our people in Benghazi were a small minority compared to the loud politicians (Jarrett) urging caution & restraint.
Obama’s entire Presidency has been one of postponement of hard decisions. Not a word about controlling entitlements. No rational budget in 4 years. Jobs are always just one more expensive gov’t program down the road. Same for a real recovery. He has been campaigning, not leading since Feb. 2009.
Cowardly indecision killed Americans in Benghazi.
Not to be cold, but Stevens & his compatriots may have died for their country in a way they did not imagine. For if Obama had be a Bush or Reagan, the "cavalry" WOULD have been sent in on a rescue, & whatever the outcome, Obama would have been seen in a favorable light, probably insuring his reelection.
