He was as far removed from this event as he could get. Kind of like a criminal looking for an alibi.
He was enjoying the LIVE LEAD in the Situation Room.
Obama always enjoys murders of Americans from the
911 Atrocities, through the Cole bombing right
to Benghazi and beyond.
Under cover with Mr. Love?

Where was Obama?
Where was Jarrett?
Where was Love?
I’m betting he was in his bedroom on the phone with Axelrod and Jarrett. Damage control for his campaign was a lot more important than dealing with a response to the events in Benghazi. Let the generals deal with that after informing them that no cross-border action would be authorized.
It’s only My Humble Opinion but you know I’m right.
Leading from behind - under his desk.....
We should start a pool on where he was. I say he snuck out to the Rose Garden to get stoned. When the kidnapping went bad, he was too wasted to be of much use. Hillary refused to make any decisions, so Co-President Valerie Jarrett said, “Screw ‘em all. Let them all die, and we’ll just blame that canned video we made.”

“. . .murdered our ambassador to . . .”
IBD gets it. No one else seems to.
It was not four Americans.
It was the US Embassy Staff.
THe enemy knows it and that point alone makes it mortally, supremely important.
And it’s why, by the way, it is not going away.
Pundits take heed, you too, Hannity.
The Ambassador and the Embassy Staff.
Obama was too busy campaigning, and preparing for the next day’s campaign, to be bothered by the murder of 4 Americans. After all, his job was on the line, and to him and the democrats, it was more necessary for him to win election than to worry about 4 “expendable” Americans. Retaining the presidency was more important to him, and to democrats, and to his election campaign managers. Taking a few hours or a few day away from campaigning and fundraising in the crucial final weeks of the election, might have cost him, especially when he was behind in many polls at the time. To Obama and his campaign, it was more about winning the election, and facing the heat after; he would already be president again when the questions came. It’s about winning at any cost, and the cost of 4 Americans, including the Ambassador, was just a sacrifice Obama was willing to make. The plan worked, but the questions now need to be answered.
He was holding a beer summit... in the situation room.
Well, I am glad that is settled... and now we can move on to the lack of spending on embassy security under the Bush Administration--

Another question is, did he give an order or approve a decision for the military to stand down?
It shouldn’t be hard for at least a Fox News reporter to ask that question at one of the news conferences.

Anyone wanting on or off this ping list, please advise.
Come on. We all know perfectly well where he was and why the underlings had to proceed without orders. He was having sex with Reggie Love. If it was anything else they would have said so by now.
Considering he was going to let one of his guys get kidnapped, I he might want to intoxicate. What if he went overboard and couldn't be woken up?
