Mr. woods is not suicidal either and he doesn’t have a heart condition and he just got a total maintenance done on his car.

that school opening story sounds like a cover story. No way do I buy it. amb Stevens for months was begging for more security in Benghazi. It doesn’t make sense.

Having his a$$ on trial might serve to keep him occupied and unable to wreak too much mischief.....kind of like putting a “twitch” on a horse so he’ll hold still for medical procedures, etc.

By definition you cannot try a foreign national for treason.

He's acting as commander-in-chief. Bill Clinton claimed he deserved active duty military benefits for that. If he's ineligible for treason than he's guilty of being an illegal combatant. Trade the treason trial in on a cigarette and a bullet.

Too bad his biggest priority wasn’t saving their lives to begin with.

Why didn't our military come to their aid, Mr. President? Who gives that order to go help? Investigation over in 30 seconds.

OBAMA can’t order a strike against these FOLKS. One of them might be his DAD!

I agree...keep Mr Woods in our prayers. His courage is right up there with his son’s. Brave man to speak out wanting answers from this vile administration.

I wish that would happen. If they slide on this, then there is no accountablity left. Everyone should be able to break laws as they please.

I take full responsibility for that fact. I send these folks in harm’s way, I want to make sure they’re always safe...I,I,I,Me,Me,Me - slimy SOB - when he's being noble and claiming all he's accomplished it's "I" - when it's time to talk about lack of coverage for the mission and who didn't send in rescue, suddenly he's no where to be found - the finger points to anyone but him - pathetic.....

I know I’m going tom sound like a dingbat but please refresh my memory: Did Obama say something to effect that “it’s not optional to lose 4 lives?” I know he said something about the four people who were killed and that his statement was disgusting but I can’t remember his exact words.

He said the deaths of 4 Americans was “not optimal.”

You made me search for the quote. It seems that I would have to agree that the “not optimum” quote WAS taken out of context. However, it is obvious that the more detailed quote is STILL a lie. Obama obviously does not care about the security of the U.S. or its citizens. Or even its ambassadors.

***************************
From the interwebs:

Their comments appear to be based on the first White House pool report on the Daily Show interview, which said:

On Benghazi, Potus said: “Every piece of information that we get, as we got it we laid it out to the American people. The picture eventually gets fully filled in.” Potus also said: “Here’s what I’ll say. When four Americans get killed, it’s not optimal. We’re going to fix it. All of it.”

That report was sent at 4:35 PM. A subsequent update, with full context of the exchange between Obama and Stewart, was sent at 5:11 PM.

Obama’s response to Stewart, in fuller context, makes it obvious that he was discussing the inadequacy of early communications between different arms of the government - not the deaths of personnel. From the 5:11 PM pool report:

Jon Stewart: “Is part of the investigation helping the communication between these divisions? Not just what happened in Benghazi, but what happened within. Because I would say, even you would admit, it was not the optimal response, at least to the American people, as far as all of us being on the same page.”

POTUS: “Here’s what I’ll say. If four Americans get killed, it’s not optimal. We’re going to fix it. All of it. And what happens, during the course of a presidency, is that the government is a big operation and any given time something screws up. And you make sure that you find out what’s broken and you fix it.

Whatever else I have done throughout the course of my presidency the one thing that I’ve been absolutely clear about is that America’s security comes, and the American people need to know exactly how I make decisions when it comes to war, peace, security, and protecting Americans. And they will continue to get that over the next four years of my presidency.”

Everyone is “folks” to Obama whether good, bad or indifferent...a reflexive elitist holds everyone in contempt.

I sure hope someone’s/some people are watching him! Because he’s getting away with an awful lot that I never, ever dreamed he’d be allowed to do! I think it must have started with Bill Clinton. He got away with a lot of things that never should have been allowed. Now Barack Obama thinks he can do things not allowed and get away with it! Scary!
