Graham to Obama: I hold you responsible for Benghazi
The Washington Times ^ | Nov. 14, 2012 | Stephen Dinan

The war of words over Benghazi escalated Wednesday when President Obama told his critics to "go after me" rather than Ambassador Susan Rice. Those critics then said they would do exactly that.

"Mr. President, don't think for one minute I don't hold you ultimately responsible for Benghazi. I think you failed as Commander in Chief before, during, and after the attack," said Lindsey Graham, South Carolina Republican.

The exchange came after Mr. Graham and Sen. John McCain said they would try to block Ms. Rice if Mr. Obama tapped her to become secretary of state. They said she hasn't done an exemplary job in her current post as ambassador to the U.N., and also said she has damaged her credibility because she inaccurately blamed the Sept. 11 terrorist attack in Benghazi on a mob protest.

Thanks.

In essence, NADT will happen.

Graham and McCain are digging their own graves with this tough talk. Obama will have his revenge. Time for the media to start investigating them.

The tough talk is needed - let's just hope they have the manhood to back it up with tough action. Else, it will be their graves instead of his, despite the fact that there is enough to bury him politically if someone actually bulldogs through all the scandals...

Just the usual political posturing, which passes for highbrow entertainment.

This President is always looking for ways to twist things.
He tells us often he is offended. The American people resent his attitude and obvious anger. The American people do not feel guilty about their resentment toward a person with such a pompous attitude about many things.

Save you tough talk for your boyfriend!

This is strictly an aside. I understand why you used that expression, i.e., to express contempt, but folks, does it not make you wonder why there has never been any evidence at all that Mr. Graham is homosexual? Plenty of sarcastic remarks but no evidence.

Given the fact that he is somewhere in his 50s, surely there would be some trail of a dalliance here or there, don't you think?
