All will be forgiven by the media if he says he was reading to children for seven whole minutes during the tragedy.

[mocgator]

The USA is a rudderless ship... Captained by The most stinking politicians of all times. There are no statesmen of any kind in this administration. Just a bunch of leftist political hacks. Sad.

[bluelang]

I'm sorry, wasn't the big gripe about BGZI that the president was watching the whole time and let everyone die - and denied requests for help that were coming in?

So now that none of that happened, the complaint is that he didn't personally jump in and "do something" about a situation that no one understood?

[rivergator]

Much of the criticism about Benghazi has been the same constant whining from the same people who whine about everything. But in this case, yeah, he should have spoken more than once to the people handling the situation.

[G8trGr8t]

Unbelievable. So it is true that the president received the briefing within 90 minutes of the attack and then prepared to set off for a Las Vegas fundraiser without so much as checking back on the American diplomats and servicemen missing, killed by terrorists, or abandoned in harm’s way.

totally uninvolved in most everything that is really important..jobs, economy, etc and yet so many still want to believe that he is some great leader

And he still lied about what caused the attack.

[DaveFla]

Why does this surprise you? He has been totally uninvolved in matters of the country for over four years now. He is, without a doubt, the most worthless president America has ever had.

[g8orbill]

I was one who was very critical that he was there and did nothing-now we know why he did nothing-he was not there and didn't even give a damn to be involved-I find it very difficult to understand his inaction either way- the ........ is President and once again has shirked his responsibilities and those sent to protect our freedoms died for it-not only was he not involved but it shows the totally ineptitude of his administration

at least river is up front enough to admit the guy should have been involved

Why does anyone think a president should be hands on on an incident like this, but not equally with all the other - thousands - of lives of other Americans lost in service overseas in the last decade? That's not his job and it wasn't Bush's either.

Because its a terrorist attack on a us embassy?!?! You don't think both Obama and Bush spent time overseas with our men and women? War is long and cold and not one person here will think one person is going to be intensive to every event or attack in a war. But a attack on our us embassy is a much different story.

An attack on a us embassy is like an attack on our home land!

Credibility, down the toilet.

[jimgata]

When any crisis hits, he disappears. Check it out.
No time to govern, but plenty of time for hollywood.
I think he believes he is in a tv reality show, where nothing is real, just make believe.
He is commander in chief of the Armed Forces and should be hands on in any military action .
The libs have only 4 more years, before his term is over, to continually defend the ineptness of this administration.

[orangeblueorangeblue]

Sounds like CYA to me.

It wasn't an embassy, though one did occur on one the previous day in Cairo. Were there not regular attacks on the Baghdad embassy?

Levin nails it. The teflon president... and the sissy la la liberal press.

"The current batch of leftist-Marxists don't take the job seriously. It's all a power trip.
Benghazi was just a distraction away from campaigning that day. Why deal with a crisis with 10,000 swooning liberals waiting in Las Vegas who don't understand what you say, but they love it, nonetheless. This is the golden age of Low Information"

I am 3,000 times more upset by 911 than Ben's Gazi.

It is called a sense of proportion.

[rivergator]

Actually, it turns out that conservatives have been carefully editing the testimony, leaving out bits like this:

DEMPSEY: I would, if I could just, to correct one thing. I wouldn't say there was no follow-up from the White House. There was no follow-up, to my knowledge, with the president. But his staff was engaged with the national military command center pretty constantly through the period, which is the way it would normally work.

[fredsanford]

I would have thought Election Day would have educated some of you about focusing on non-issues.

Instead of feeding the Obama obsession, how about working on some policies that voters might actually support?
