ONTARIO, OH — Arizona Sen. John McCain delivered a stinging rebuke of President Barack Obama's handling of the terrorist attack on an American consulate in Libya, saying the commander in chief is either "engaged in a massive cover-up" or is "grossly incompetent."

The 2008 GOP presidential nominee focused his remarks on the Sept. 11, 2012 attack in Libya rather than Hurricane Sandy at an event in battleground Ohio that had been billed as a "storm relief and volunteer appreciation" event.

"This president is either engaged in a massive cover-up deceiving the American people or he is so grossly incompetent that he is not qualified to be the commander in chief of our armed forces. It's either one of them," McCain told Romney volunteers gathered here at a Victory Center.

"I think it's interesting to note that when there was a success, such as when, thank God, we were able to get bin Laden, the administration poured out every single detail, even details that put American lives in danger," McCain said. He later added: "It is my obligation to the men and women who are serving to get the full story out to these four brave Americans have families. They deserve to know why their sons were sacrificed in the needless fashion."

It’s a lot more complex than most people know. Obama the gun runner president (Mexico and now this...)

I’m beginning to think Obutthole didn’t send in help because an Iran-Contra-like scandal would be discovered.

He probably figured: let that poor MF’er Chris Stevens die and burn the embassy and all the evidence is lost in the fire.

I 100% believe Newt on this, really hope it hits the fan before the weekend.
That should just about do OBobo in politically.

So Obama’s not John McCain’s “good friend” anymore? His “special pal”? His “hug buddy”?

[American Constitutionalist]

Is Obama going to hold a relief event for his Muslim buddies in Libya ? Syria ?

I gotta admit, I am shocked beyond belief, that McCain even dared to blast 0dumb0 in these inflamatory but very true statements, rather than encouraging everyone to "be respectful my friends".

Finally McCain grows a pair of balls and very appropriately hits the nail on the head for 0dumbo's massive cover-up & deception, or gross incompetence and lack of qualification to be commander-in-chief. Too bad that McCain didn't exhibit the same type of rhetoric & accusations against 0dumb0 in 2008.

It would be nice to see other weenie Repubs take up the mantra and start badgering 0dumb0 AND the media to tell the truth about the Benghazi terrorist attack, and who & why our military was told to stand down.

Lindsey Graham was on Gretta Van Susteren tonight and spoke about two other attacks on the Benghazi embassy last summer. He wonders why no increased security was given the embassy given the earlier attacks. He has repeatedly wrote the White House for answers to his questions and has received no response. Graham says that the White House is currently running out the clock because of the election. To see his remarks, watch this video:

[who knows what evil?]

But tell me--what have you heard on this from Mitch McConnel or John the Weeper Boehner or Mickey Cantor or any other chickenshit republican officeholder?

Squat...but I don't particularly care for any of them either...(isn't that ERIC Cantor?)

Thanks onyx.

McCain is speaking as much as a veteran as a senator in this case. Obama left our men exposed and denied them support in their time of need.

McCain on Fox & Friends this morning said veterans he's spoken with around the country are 'infuriated' and have lost their confidence in Obama as commander-in-chief.

I have to believe we are seeing a 'quiet riot' coming on election day as the bottom drops out on Obama over Benghazi.
