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

Posted on 05/22/2013 12:54:48 PM PDT by don-o

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.

“Our prayers are with the people of Oklahoma....”

Like the prayer over the bodies of the Seals of Extortion 17?

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.

That's what I thought, too, until recently. Since no one is willing to say where he was, or what he was doing, I'm thinking that maybe Obama was in no condition to take charge of the situation, and, as a result, there was panic among the White House staff. By the way, where was Joe Biden that evening? He should have been in the loop as well, even if he was not in D.C. that night. Nobody has mentioned anything about his role in all of this.

THAT's the TICKET !


"Zero" wasn't anywhere near the Whitehouse on the night of Benghazi.

He was probably VERY far away ...

I still believe that the American people will TURN ON THIS POS KENYAN when they discover the "real truth" about Barry Sorrento's lies.

obama is all for show, for display, if you will. At least since his election to the senate in Illinois, his life has been one long display of political legerdemain.

If 0bastard was unfindable, it was because he wanted to be unfindable, so all the people there would be killed and he could evade responsibility. Or so he hoped.

Interesting question about Joe Biden. You’re right, nobody ever mentions him or where he was that night.

That hour seems to be the last time Obama and Biden were seen, unless Biden was there later but just so unimportant nobody is mentioning him.

Or maybe he has been mentioned but he’s so unimportant I’ve forgotten him.

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

Actually, that would be an excellent question for Carney at today's press briefing. Get him on the record with an answer.
