    Yes me thinks his response is being taken out of context. If the question is in regards to the administration's confused communication how is this a bad thing? He's basically saying....You know what Basso...you're right. we dropped the ball on how to communicate this tragedy to the american people.

    And the inquiring mind, or press, if we had an inquiring press, would ask: "why?"

    And inthink the answer is self-evident. For politcal reasons (part of leading from behind, speak grandly and carry a rhetorical stick), obama (his admin) denied requests from Stevens and others for more security.

    Thatbis why the coverup is important.

    Agreed. Obama shouldn't of tried to mislead Americans for an election. I wonder if Mr. Stevens is happy about Obama's political games.

    Why does Mr. Stevens' wishes trump those of Ms. Smith? Her son is just as dead.

    Because politics is about policies and competence. And Ms. Smith seems to have no trouble in requesting answers for what happened.

    It's an issue of incompetence of the current occupant of The White House. Obama has screwed the pooch at every turn on this and he needs to be held accountable and people considering voting for him need to know how badly his administration handled this situation before and after the act of terrorism.

    Once again, without a teleprompter, Obama sticks his foot in his mouth.

    How can Democrats pretend like the mishandling of a terrorist attack with 4 dead Americans is somehow off the table for discussion/criticism? Obama mishandled and lied about an extremely crucial event that deals with national security. That's relevant. Democrats can demand nobody talk about it until after the election, but nobody is buying that crap.

    The person who started this political game was Obama. He did it in a lame atttempt to protect the image of his administration and got busted.

    CIA found militant links a day after Libya attack

    Interesting. On one hand it sounds like the administration jumped the gun on calling it a demonstration, but also at the same time they didn't have access to the intel describing it as a preplanned terror attack. I haven't hear if the house investigation has concluded anything more today since I have been busy, but though I am conservative, I don't believe that it is fair to criticize the President for his not calling it a terrorist attack when it is clear that he did not have proper intel since even analysts at Langley had differing opinions about the event in Benghazi. Though I do disagree with him immediately connecting the attack to protests about the youtube video.

    She gave the quote to reporters. I think she wants people to spread her message. She is trying to bully the white house into giving her the truth about her dead son. She deserves the truth, so help by spreading the word as much as possible. that word is '**** you Obama, tell the truth'.

    JIM TREACHER: What’s The Big Deal About Benghazi, Anyway? “Come on, you guys. It’s only an American ambassador and three other Americans who served their country, murdered by Islamic terrorists on the anniversary of 9/11. In a country our president invaded unilaterally and, arguably, illegally. And our government only ignored the copious warnings of an impending terrorist attack on the consulate in Benghazi, and actually reduced security there, despite the since-murdered ambassador’s entreaties. And our president has only been lying about it for over a month because it reflects very badly on his self-evidently disastrous foreign policy. It’s not like it was a hotel break-in.
