Today, the White House finally revealed its policy on embassy security: keep President Obama out of the loop so he can claim plausible deniability and blame Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for any problems. In today’s White House press conference, a reporter asked press secretary Jay Carney about the situation in Libya. Carney responded:

Obama has a major problem with trying to lay all the blame on Hillary and accepting Biden’s contention that the President, Vice President and White House didn’t know anything — Obama was blaming The Video as the culprit as late as September 25, a full two weeks after the Benghazi attack.
The Video as culprit had been debunked within a few days.
Their continuing to spread Biden’s contention that they didn’t know anything shows up their incompetence. The rest of the world knew — within hours and a few days.
Last week, Rice tried to say that they acted on the best known information at the time. So, did they have their heads stuck in the sand for 2 full weeks?
Then, they tried to blame it on a lack of data from the intelligence services. Oh, so the intelligence agencies were incompetent. Perhaps, Obama should have attended a few more security briefings — he might have learned something. Instead, he went to Vegas and took a tour of Hoover Dam.
and just think—she almost got through all 4 years... man... didn’t quite cross the finish line...
and speaking of Secretary of State—has anyone heard from Colin Powell? is he endorsing Obama again? what a loser he turned out to be...
It's time for Hillary to mobilize the PUMAs.
LOL!!!!!! Like Congressman Ryan said last night . . . sometimes the words just don’t come out right!!!!
Hey canklesaurus... are you going to take that crap of of the kenyan? BJ wouldn’t!
LLS
HA...and this is a SURPRISE????
Think very carefully out the situation.
Hillary the frontrunner gets hoisted by a come-out-of-nowhere Obama. She is defeated at the convention. Obama for some strange(?) reason invites her to become the SOS.
The big alternative rationale:
1. Hillary sees Obama plunging after one term and is able to convince the Zero to get her in a position to solidify her credentials beyond just a senatorial position? Just unfortunate she is not as lucky as most SOS that on her watch nothing serious happens like that idiot Cyrus Vance during the Iran debacle in 1979.
or
2. Obama is shrewd enough to see a Clinton-thorn-in-the-side for four years and convinces her to take the SOS deliberately knowing he can set her up for failure and thence never worrying about her?
Whos is the smart one here?
The PUMAs were supposedly against Obama, but in the end, even their support wasn’t enough. But this time, combining the support of the PUMAs, with enough women who are now for Romney, it could seal the deal and retire Obama to Hawaii with his loving sensitive wife.
“Look for the Clinton machine to fire back with both barrels.”
Right now, I can’t wait for that to start happening! Remember Slick told Teddy that Obama should be carrying their bags!
More of Obama casting off blame to someone else instead of accepting the fact that he is the HNIG!
Yep. They're playing pin the tail on the honky donkey.
I have a hunch that Bubba will have the last say about fingering Hitlery . . . before the election.
AMEN TO THAT!!!!
What is she gonna do about it? Resign? Ha! Show that woman who's the boss.
If Hillary is directly blamed for this debacle, and she should, she should come out blazing against her boss. It could go two ways. She looks like a leader and shores up support in 2016. Or she looks like a guilty POS and leaves the national stage for good.
Either way Obama is screwed. And that's a good thing.
Honestly, I'm beginning to have doubts about whether the pResident knows anything about what is going on under his watch. Between his workouts, golf games, vacations, money raising parties ... this guy is AWOL. Commander in Chief, CEO ... my ass. We have a petulant slacker in charge of the United States.
God gives us the leaders we deserve ... and I can't say we didn't get what we deserved --- but let us all pray for mercy, and that we become a people who repent and who deserve better leaders.
This is what happens when you don’t hold cabinet meetings and attend daily security briefings. He had time to jet off to Vegas which is most reprehensible and should be brought up ad nauseum by team Romney.. He should be held accountable. Libya is his baby. He bypassed congress to lead from behind. I would say he owns this mess along with Hillary.
BINGO!!!!
Give that man an extra large teddy bear!
Does anyone remember the on-line article (well that's where I read it!)that was a interview with one of the more “pedestrian” editors of the Harvard Law Review whose time there overlapped with Zero. She said that Zero hardly ever showed up for work except for situations where there might be publicity. That work ethic has clearly continued.
Fire Hillary and face her wrath! She will deploy the “Flying Monkeys”-—My bet—Obama will be toppled by an inner office coup.
I agree with you %100! Obama and his administration own this debacle! They should all be held accountable for it!
Carney is in serious ass covering mode and is playing a shell game in regards to who is responsible for the obvious failings of the current administration. It turns out that the articulate, bright,and clean nice looking man is really a lazy,clueless,fumbling idiot. The buck stops with Obama. He owns the economy, and he owns what is going on in the Middle East.
