    What part about Obama and Biden watching real-time video feed and getting emails in the situation room of the White House is "not fully knowing what is going on?"

    Part of the problem with this administration is that the cabinet members and military staff are willing to fall on the sword in order to protect the President. First it was Sec of State Clinton taking responsibility and now these 2 men. For staff people in any administration that is expected. You do what you must to keep the blame from falling on the boss. But the worst part of this administration is that the President is the one thrusting the sword.

    I guess Truman's sign on his desk "The Buck Stops Here" has been removed and forgotten.

    It sure is the reality that the 47% is gonna believe. As this board shows, those in the tank for Romney will do what they say the other side tries to do in order to score political points.

    The Secretary of Defense has said why troops weren't sent in. There's not too much more that anyone under his command can say that's gonna change that picture for the American people be it the truth or not.

    Yet they keep joining administration after administration with full knowledge that they may have to be the patsy for some not so pretty stuff. This is why Presidents select certain people to be part of their teams while not asking others.

    At least Nixon was man enough to resign.

    Combining the words "Nixon" with "man enough" ought never to be done. He may have resigned but it was because of political realities, not because he thought he had ever done anything wrong.

    lol ok, fair enough.
    My point stands though, Clinton didn't have the sliver of integrity to resign. It's obvious to be me that Obama doesn't either.

    Elections always seem to bring out the same things in partisan politics. The very same type of " he needs to resign" or "impeach" him stuff that I'm hearing about Barack Obama I heard from liberals about George Bush during his re-election campaign.

    The difference is in the fact that there is evidence to the failure, and outright dereliction of duty, and high crimes and misdemeanors perpetrated by Obama.

    Why do you think that what Panetta says is going to override the feelings that real Americans have in their hearts that our nation should never turn our backs on those serving us in the face of danger?

    Who are these REAL Americans? There are plenty of REAL Americans who understand the President deferring to his military leadership as to what call to make in these circumstances.

    Hillary Clinton makes calls all the time and then makes the same sort of statements that Panetta made in this instance about why what was done was done. I'm sure that much like Panetta, she discusses things with the President and gives him advice about what needs to be done or what has been done in the past. He gives his nod of approval or disapproval just like past Presidents have done and then the Secretary yields questions.

    You seem to be lost in some world where REAL Americans only see things in a manner that scores election day profit.

    The difference is that one groups sits behind a donkey moniker and the other sits behind an elephant moniker.

    Real Americans are those who appreciate the sacrifices that the members of our armed forces make for the freedom of our nation.

    The problem that you have though is that Obama is claiming that he knew nothing about what was going on.

    Not that he held a meeting with Panetta or Hillary Clinton or anyone for that matter.

    Obama is trying to pretend that he was completely out of the loop.

    No. The difference is in personal integrity. You cannot teach that and that is not a party affiliation issue.

    Just for discussions sake:


    Assume Obama is being honest when he says he was out of the loop. Isn't that just as big an issue? Why should you vote for a man who passes the buck right out of the gate? We pay him to be in the loop and lead. He has been campaigning for 5 1/2 years for that privilege.

    Yep either he was out of the loop or he knew and did nothing. Either way he is incompetent.

    Oh please do go public with the un-American sentiment. That's was tried against Obama last time. It didn't work too well.



    Sounds like a personal categorization of what took place. Where has Obama claimed that he didn't know what was going on?

    He was established as incompetent long before this. I seriously doubt that your embassy is attacked and you're not getting constant intel from your generals about what is transpiring.

    Everything Panetta knew, Obama no doubt knew. Panetta seems to have given his recommendation based upon past military OP, and that's what they went with.

    The White House on Saturday flatly denied that President Barack Obama withheld requests for help from the besieged American compound in Benghazi, Libya, as it came under on attack by suspected terrorists on September 11th.

    "Neither the president nor anyone in the White House denied any requests for assistance in Benghazi," National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor told Yahoo News by email.

    They also stuck with their story for two weeks that a mob, angered by a Youtube video, spontaneously stormed the embassy.

    They lack the credibility to be believable.
