Obama Lied

 

The President was caught with his knickers down yet accuses the public for watching....Sorry President Obama,  Americans died on your watch and you did nothing to help.

 

WSJ 514/13:

Notable & Quotable

President Obama denies that his administration downplayed the fact that the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi was an act of terrorism.

President Obama, speaking at a joint news conference with U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron, May 13:

Keep in mind, by the way, these so-called [Benghazi] talking points that were prepared for Susan Rice five, six days after the event occurred pretty much matched the assessments that I was receiving at that time in my presidential daily briefing. And keep in mind that two to three days after Susan Rice appeared on the Sunday shows, using these talking points, which have been the source of all this controversy, I sent up the head of our National Counterterrorism Center, Matt Olsen, up to Capitol Hill and specifically said it was an act of terrorism and that extremist elements inside of Libya had been involved in it.

So if this was some effort on our part to try to downplay what had happened or tamp it down, that would be a pretty odd thing that three days later we end up putting out all the information that, in fact, has now served as the basis for everybody recognizing that this was a terrorist attack and that it may have included elements that were planned by extremists inside of Libya.

Who executes some sort of cover-up or effort to tamp things down for three days? So the whole thing defies logic. And the fact that this keeps on getting churned out, frankly, has a lot to do with political motivations. We've had folks who have challenged Hillary Clinton's integrity, Susan Rice's integrity, Mike Mullen and Tom Pickering's integrity. It's a given that mine gets challenged by these same folks. They've used it for fundraising.
