Emails on Benghazi show aides’ effort to make Obama look ‘statesmanlike’
Washington Times ^

Posted on 04/30/2014 6:57:46 AM PDT by bryan999

A clutch of newly released White House emails provides the clearest evidence to date that top presidential aides sought to use anti-American protests sweeping across the Middle East in 2012 — as well as the aftermath of the Benghazi terrorist attack — to push an image of President Obama’s foreign policy as “steady and statesmanlike,” just weeks before his re-election.

In one of the emails — written just hours after a top CIA official warned the White House that the Benghazi attack might not have been inspired by the Internet video that had triggered protests in Egypt, Yemen and other nations in the region — the administration’s strategic communications adviser told U.N. Ambassador Susan E. Rice in a memo to push the favorable story line anyway on national television.

It's not the effort to "spin it".

It's the LIES, COVERUP and OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE by hiding the evidence for over a year!

I expect the state run news media to slowly pull back their support for the maoist piece of crap BO as his second term closes out, in part to maintain their credibility (they think) and in part to draw a clear distinction between he and Hillary.

He's so unpopular right now they must convince the voters she's something entirely new and different.

Making the dork look “statesmanlike” is like trying to polish a t*rd.

Nixon had the character and dignity to leave office (rather than be impeached) for activities and behavior not one tenth as illicit or incriminating as the stuff “O” and his creatures commit with impunity, daily... even, hourly!!

Not necessarily new and different. Clinton nostalgia will be a powerful factor.

“Remember how wonderful things were when The Clinton was president? Well, you can be certain that they will be even better when The Clinton is president again.” /s

How about we get a president who actually IS statesmanlike? Is that too much to ask?

“What did he know and when did he know it?”

And also, exactly where was he, and what was he doing during the attack?

So to get this right............

In order to appear statesman like, competent, and steadfast, an elaborate lie and hoax is communicated in propaganda fashion from the office of the president of the United States? Then a speaking tour is rolled out complete with Susan Rice repeating this to anyone who will broadcast it, the president goes on talk shows and perpetuates it, and they put some dumb schmuck in the pokey for starting the whole thing which they knew all along was a false narrative?

Knowing the whole operation was a classified illegal gun and heavy weapons running gig, they could use the cover of being "classified" to hide behind.

Jail my friends!

My kingdom for competent conservatives in Congress to have investigated all of these.

The only two people to even have a seat at the table with statesmanlike qualities since 1988 are Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, and that kid in the mailroom.

Absolutely on target. Not only will the MSM gradually withdraw from
Obama and gravitate toward Clinton but they will pat themselves on
the back for do so. One of Hillary’s big campaign issues, for example,
will be how she will reform Obamacare. The media will love it. We
all know it is coming. Conservative media should have already been
tieing Hillary to Obamacare long ago.
