New Benghazi eMails Could Derail Hillary in 2016
The Fiscal Times ^ | 5/1/2014 | David Francis

The White House and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have long tried to quell the controversy around the Sept. 11, 2012 attack on an American consulate in Benghazi that claimed the lives of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three others. New revelations show that the issue is far from dead.

Earlier this week, the conservative activist group Judicial Watch obtained emails that show the White House tried to link the attacks to fictional protests instead of calling it an al-Qaeda linked attack. In one email, White House official Ben Rhodes urged then U.N. ambassador Susan Rice and White House spokesman Jay Carney "to underscore that these protests are rooted in an Internet video, and not a broader failure of policy." He urged them to attribute the violence on protests over an American-made video that criticized Islam.

Say what you want about a Teddy Kennedy presidency; but, at least he wouldn’t have approved of perfectly good ethanol going into automobile fuel tanks.

I think that Obozo actually expected those terrorists to behave like civilized humans after he gave them Gadaffi and the chance to set up a “democratic” government. But being the savages they are, they couldn’t help themselves and were overcome with SJS, Sudden jihad syndrome.

She should have been in prison years ago. What difference does it make now?

None of this will register with voters in 2016. It’ll be long, long forgotten

Roger that. It will be a feather in her cap, unfortunately.

It's not what the emails say so much as the fact there IS an email containing talking points.

The WH said over and over a year ago they had NO role in the creation of the talking points. Now we have Ben Rhodes telling Susan Rice (and Carney was also CC'ed) what to say on the talk shows.

She likely won’t get the nomination.

BOOM! Tommy Vietor – Former NSA Spox – Admits Obama Never Made it to Situation Room During Benghazi Attack! (Video)

Posted by Jim Hoft on Thursday, May 1, 2014,

Tommy Vietor – Former NSA Spokesman – Admits Obama Never Made it to Situation Room During Benghazi Attack
Now we know that Barack Obama was in the White House but NEVER MADE IT to the Situation Room the night of the Benghazi Attack on 9-11 2012.

This was after Islamists stormed the US Embassy in Cairo earlier in the day.

Obama never made it to the Situation Room.

Tommy Vietor was there. Obama wasn’t.

Tommy Vietor: I was in the Situation Room that night. Ok.

And we didn’t know where the ambassador was. Definitively.

Bret Baier: Was the president in the Situation Room?

Vietor: No…

Baier: Where was the president.

Vietor: In the White House.

Baier: He wasn’t in the Situation Room.

Vietor: Uhh. At what point in the evening. He was constantly… It’s well known that when the attack was first briefed to him it was in the Oval Office. And he was updated constantly…

Baier: Sp then when Hillary Clinton talks to him by phone at 10 PM, he’s where?

Vietor: I don’t know. I don’t have a tracking device on him in the residence.

Baier: But you were in the Situation Room and he wasn’t there.

Vietor: Yes.

The Consulate was under attack and Obama never made it downstairs to the Situation Room!

The "media" will spit it all as an "accomplishment," i.e., "consider how many more people would've lost their lives if our awesome SecState had requested a military response. The astute steadiness she showed greatly minimized American losses... it all proves how uniquely brilliant Hillary Clinton is!"

I guess that is why they are called spin doctors.
