Obama Aide: 'Irrelevant Fact' Where President Was During Benghazi Attacks

Obama Aide: 'Irrelevant Fact' Where President Was During Benghazi Attacks Daniel Halper May 19, 2013 9:48 AM

Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer said it's an "irrelevant fact" where the president physically was during the Benghazi terror attack on September 11, 2012:

Host Chris Wallace reminds Pfeiffer that Obama didn't really talk with Secretary Clinton, Secretary Panetta, or Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, that night. "He was talking to his national security staff," Pfeiffer insists.

Asked about whether the president entered the Situation Room, Pfeiffer says, "I don't remember what room the president was in on that night, and that's a largely irrelevant fact."

Pfeiffer then argues that Wallace's questions about the president's handling of the Benghazi terror attack are "offensive."

So it would have been after Panetta’s meeting, and this photo was immediately after that phone call. THEN what?

According to my White House source, who came to this country in the trunk of his cousin’s Chevy, Obama was romping with one of his male companions. The male companion reported to my source that after the call, Obama patted his bottom, snuggled up, and went into the deep sleep of a satisfied lover.

Thank you for that cogent, logical, convincing and well thought out reply. A true mental tour de force.

Pfeiffer seems grumpy and I don’t think he’s feelin’ the love.. I wonder where all the stress is coming from??

about Biden’s note- what does it say? Is all the BB refering to BiBi Netenahyu? perhaps its what obama was supposed to talk with Israel’s p.m. about?
does this work with your theory?

I expected that simplistic response might be your reply.

Maybe it’s just my monitor, but I can’t make out any of the writing on the image of Biden’s notes.

What’s the significance of what’s on that paper, and how do we know when it was photographed?

Timestamp indicates it was immediately after obama’s call to Netanyahu...and AFTER his meeting with panetta, but I don’t even see anything that resembles Benghazi on there. I am going to try to clear it up and sharpen it more. It looks like they were discussing that rice might meet with him at the UN instead of a face to face with obama. Something about a change of plans.

Then Zippo says, “Do Not Disturb” and goes off with Reggie cause he is leaving town in the morning.

My wife wondered who, I was screaming Fricking Liar at until she came into the family room and listened to this lying/walking mound of fecal manner for about a minute.

She said that she was going to another room so she wouldn’t sound like me.

I turned the tv off.

Thanks. It's the first time I've seen that photo, and from where I sit, it's just a hand holding a piece of paper with some blurry writing on it. Could have been taken anywhere. There's no context in the photo, such as a face, to pin down who's holding the notes.

I appreciate your diligence on it, though.

If the initial attack on the consulate occurred around 9:30-10:00 local time, 3:30-4:00 PM EST, followed by an attack on the CIA annex some 6 hours later, then how in the world could Obama have already been “retired” for the evening, lights out for the night. Surely he was awake and aware of all that was going down. If so, then the entire country deserves to know where he was, what did he know, when did he know it, and who was he in contact with throughout that time.

Bibi had requested to meet with Barry at either the UN or head down to the WH when Bibi was at the UN. Barry said NO.
This appears to be what the phone call is about. On September 11, 2012, there were numerous articles about the “Diss” of Barry not meeting with Bibi.

Hahaha......the Resident's whereabouts during a embassy attack and stand down order are irrelevant? Someone’s admitting that Obama’s whereabouts are more damaging to him than admitting he's a useless figure in the White House.

Thanks for the context. I remember that well.
