People don’t change. Obama never showed up for votes when he was a state senator. He was the most absent senator in the US senate. The man is lazy.

If this had been Bush, the news cycle would be absolutely full of stories of incompetence, indifference, etc. They would bring up the alcoholism questions, and would probably start a new ‘Nightline’ to deal with it. But, since this is the socialist in chief, they will ignore it.

If this is true, I think it might finally take away the Teflon. I don’t see how he can get out of this one, particularly since everybody else bent over backwards to say how “involved” he was. The only thing they sort of said was that he went to bed (after the first attack was over, supposedly) and left early the next morning for Vegas.

But if he wasn’t even there and nobody knew where or how to reach him, and he didn’t even call in, I think it’s going to be very hard for even the most devoted fans to defend him.

That said, is this true? I didn’t see any comments about this among the posts on the live thread on the hearings.

(My theory has always been that he went to bed early, even before the first attack, and left strict orders not to be disturbed...and they were afraid to wake him.)

It’s kind of hard to reconcile what Axelrod said with what Panetta said. No?

>>> Obama cites Benghazi phone call with national security team — but no meeting

That was what I remembered.

He knew a situation developing in Benghazi, left someone(s) else in charge, continued Las Vegas fundrasing as scheduled, then as events got out of hand, sent Rice and his lapdogs to spread smear about a youtube video.

And all this time, none of those left in charge ever thought of keeping Obama up-to-the-minute informed. ???!!!!???!!

Why do I get the feeling that Panetta will be walking this back some time soon?

“IMPEACH 0BAMA.”

People on the left are starting to call for that. I gotta tell ya, I’d rather have Obama than Biden as president!

Night before last on the very left leaning Democracy Now, the guest was Daniel Ellsberg who was calling for Obama’s impeachment because of his “Systematic Assault on Constitution”.
Interesting times we live in. http://dialogic.blogspot.com/2013/02/democracy-now-daniel-ellsberg-ndaa.html

Did he leave strict orders not to be disturbed? Like a certain world leader did on D-Day?

This is worse than Obama admitting giving a direct order to ‘Stand Down’ several times.

As CinC, he can make such decision, some may disagree, but ‘Obama Not Present’ tells us what, exactly?

But, I'm just a nobody.

Funny,according to this guy, he knew all about it.

And no one said any different at the time...

I think I smell a little CYA going on.

Kind of makes you wonder what we are about to find out, doesn’t it?

Why, he was out skeet-golfing, of course.
