TONIGHT: OBAMA TO PLAY HERO, TAKE 'FULL RESPONSIBILITY' FOR LIBYA
http://www.breitbart.com ^ | october 16 2012 | JOHN NOLTE

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton publicly accepting blame for the security failures in Libya the night before a hugely important presidential debate might be nothing more than a fabricated set-up to allow President Obama to dig himself out of a hole.

Think about it: If Obama were to stand up before the American people tonight and thank Hillary for being The Greatest Secretary Of State In The History Of The Americas and then pull her out from under the bus and accept 100% of the responsibility himself, he'd look like some kind of hero.

And, resigns?

Everyone associated with that debacle needs to resign in disgrace. The Japanese of old would have done something even more drastic.

So does this mean that he’s taking the blame for the coverup also?

Obambo rises from the jungle with bayonet in teeth, M60 cradled in his hands, bandoliers wrapped around his shoulders with a war cry so piercing that Romney unloads in his trousers.

Or something like that.

A month late...

He should also resign.

     

Just like Hillary's ad predicted.

True. But tomorrow all the MSM will be abuzz about Obama's "JFK/Bay of Pigs" moment.

There'll be no mention of how Kennedy actually came out and took full responsibility immediately (as opposed to seeing how the political winds would shift) ... AND that the Bay of Pigs set in motion a chain of events that took the world to the brink of Nuclear war in the Fall of 1962.

And Obama, do you also take full responsibility for lying about Libya?

You know, in the military when something like this happens, the commanding officer is held responsible. For example, if a Navy ship runs aground, the captain is responsible - even if he was sound asleep in his rack when it happened. Even if he is not court-martialed (a real possibility, especially if lives are lost), his career is over. He will never get another promotion or another command. If he is lucky, he will be allowed to quietly retire.

So if Obama and Hilary are really taking responsibility, why aren’t they resigning in disgrace? Why aren’t there real consequences to go along with that claim of responsibility? Without any consequences, their acceptance of responsibility is just a bunch of words designed to AVOID any real responsibility.

Romney should do no less than demand Obama’s resignation if this comes out. It will be his only chance to slap him down for such a ridiculous stunt. Most of America would agree.

Responsibility without consequence is but another meaningless speech.

Who cares?

Arrest this man.

The little maggøt will try to dance away from Libya as fast as it’s faggy little feet can tap, imho.

This would be a major STUNT, but I’m thinking Obozo won’t have enough time given the debate format to ‘qualify’ his taking responsiblity so he doesn’t get stuck with ALL of it .... video meme, lack of security, ignoring intel, going to bed while Amb Stevens still missing, sending no help, no NSC meeting the day after, sending FBI not military to Libya & then have them stymied for 3 weeks, Sean Smith’s mom crying on TV “what happened to my son” .... and it goes on. He’ll want to be VERY careful what he takes on as his responsibility ... just as careful as Hillary.

All he is doing then is validating Romney’s initial respose.

Think about it: Obama has never taken responsibility for anything in his entire life. We are not going to see a 1st tonight.

There’s two scandals: Lack of security and a response to the attack. The other is that Obama and the administration lied for weeks about the cause. The first could be blamed on Hillary, but the second still has never been truthfully explained.

Any short-term benefit for Bambi would be offset by the sheer incompetence of having allowed AQ to kill Americans on 9/11/12.

That's it. By some combination of incompetence, dishonesty, laziness, and maybe darker motives, he created a foreign policy catastrophe and got people killed. Now he is more or less naked in the spotlight with nowhere to hide. Given any opening at all - either tonight or next week in the foreign policy debate - Romney will spell it out in realistic terms that everyone listening will understand. I don't see how Obama can fight it off.

He was asked today and ignored it... he does not have it in him. Even if he did admit responsibility... he would have to qualify it by absolving himself of guilt.

FULL BLAME for what the main stream media doesnt or barely even reports..or reports wrongly.. or spins to be a positive reaction to a negative happening.. or completely ignores..

If it happens I HOPE some democrats get their necks broken in the double take..

So that means that we should also forgive 0bama for lying to the people for the last few weeks?
How many other mea culpas should we expect. Romney needs to hit hard the points about missing his intel briefings and going off to Vegas on the day of the attack.
