Graham: President Obama twisted up over Benghazi
Boston Herald ^ | May 22, 2013 | Michael Graham

What’s the difference between keeping President Obama “updated throughout the night” on a deadly terrorist attack in Benghazi and keeping him “updated throughout the night” on a deadly tornado in Oklahoma?

The president could have actually done something about Benghazi.

Have you been watching the president the past 36 hours or so? Lots of photos of him calling officials in Oklahoma, offering federal help. Speeches in front of the camera expressing his condolences to the tornado victims and pledging to rebuild.

“Our prayers are with the people of Oklahoma today,” Obama said yesterday, “and we’ll back up those prayers with deeds for as long as it takes.”

Now that’s a president.

So where was this guy the night of the pre-planned al-Qaeda attack in Benghazi that lasted seven hours and killed four Americans?

That’s a “largely irrelevant fact,” White House hack Dan Pfeiffer told Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday.

Oh he’s twisted alright. What WAS he doing while 4 died? Not his job. He lost focus of jobs along time ago.

I had always thought that he had gone off to get his beauty sleep and left orders not to be disturbed, or that he simply went up to his room to watch TV until it was over.

But another Freeper made a very good suggestion today: maybe he wasn’t in the WH at all. Maybe he went somewhere else, possibly to meet with someone he didn’t dare be seen with, and nobody knew where he was or could find him or contact him in any way. And now they’re all covering for him.

Isn’t he still focused like a laser on jobs? He needs to turn down the laser’s intensity. It is destroying jobs at breakneck speed.

On Bengahzi, there was no photo op or political advantage in it for him. Nothing like a photo op in the aftermath of a storm to boost your poll numbers.

It’s obviously Mitt Romney’s fault. If he hadn’t challenged ObaMao for the presidency, then there would have been no need to cover-up Benghazi. < / sarcasm >

Homeland Security sent armed officers to oversee a Tea Party protest...

Too bad Janel Napolitano "missed' the Boston bombers - even AFTER Russia gave repeated warnings... Not her fault - Janet Napolitano ONLY profiles conservative American citizens. Like the IRS... She's too 'with it' to profile the people who actually want to kill us... after all, radical Muslim make big donations to the Democrat Party.

It's sad the terrorists who killed our SEALS in Benghazi weren't seen as an equal threat to the Tea Party - maybe they could have gotten help.

” - - - Isn’t he still focused like a laser on jobs? - - - “

What if “jobs” is Obamacode?

“Jobs” = J.o.b.s = JUST OBAMA BULL SHIT.

What WAS he doing while 4 died?

Going over his pitch and resting up for his fund raiser in Vegas.

My question is: Why did he issue a "Stand Down" order that doomed the four Bengahzi victims?

Lots of photos of him calling officials in Oklahoma, offering federal help (emphasis added).

With all due respect to everybody affected by the hurricane, the states have never delegated to Congress the specific power to tax and spend for relief from natural disasters. So Constitution-ignoring Obama is once again taking advantage of a crisis to make himself look like a real leader, and quite effectively since so many people evidently don't know about the federal government's constitutonally limited powers.

Also note that I think that the Constitution should be amended to authorize Congress to tax and spend for relief for victims of natural disasters. The fact that such an amendment doesn't already exist is evidence, imo, that people are not being taught about the federal government's constitutionally limited powers.
