Leon Panetta testifies to that which we already knew…
Panetta said that, save their 5 o’clock prescheduled meeting with the president the day of September 11, Obama did not call or communicate in anyway with the defense secretary that day. There were no calls about the what was going on in Benghazi. He never called to check-in.
So what about Hillary?
“What difference, at this point, does it make?”, was shouted this past week from the naturally delightful, demure, and unquestionably feminine Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during a congressional hearing in response to a question of whether or not the administration’s immediate response to the 9/11/2012 Benghazi killings was misleading by saying the attack was “sparked” by a video– as the administration claimed at the time, to be sure, you know, to not shoot first and aim later.
Many things can be said of the Madam Secretary, but one thing is certain:
I still have an election 2010 bumper sticker on my car that say’s “Take Back America.” Last week I saw a bumper sticker, clearly designed to counter that idea “Take American back where?” with a list of dates traveling into antiquity. The left thinks they are the party of science, progress. They tell themselves these things to cover up their desire for a failed system of government that in the scope of human history has itself been the rule rather than the exception. A top down tyranny directed by a chosen few who decide what is best for the rabble. Forward!
Well the party of technology is at cross-purposes over their cover-up in Benghazi.
About that Debate? Obama loses no matter what happens. An observation about Hillary taking responsibility for Benghazi….I bet Obama promised to nominate her to the Supreme Court in exchange if he is re-elected. (The only other thing I believe a Clinton covets more than being President.) And my spies are deployed to check the state … Read more
Against all likelihood, Hillary Clinton is taking responsibility for Benghazi. I know, who’d have thought? Right now the narrative is to ply the theme that this should not be politicized which is utter rubbish. In the Democrat world everything is political. Everything you opponent does matters. And Obama is still responsible for his people. He … Read more
Three Days ago I suggested that someone had to take the blame for Benghazi and the cover up and that the Clinton’s would never let that ruin Hillary’s chances at a future Presidential run, or at the very least would they let it spoil their place in history. I summed it up like this.
This cannot be disguised as some conspiracy theory. Americans died – Obama lied. So someone has to swing and I can’t see Clinton taking the fall, or taking it alone.
Seeing as we are talking about the blamer-in-chief, finger-pointer extraordinaire, narcissistic child-president, there is no way he (Obama) is taking the blame for this. He has czars and secretaries of this or that to take the blame, that is why they are there, at least in his mind. But that particular act of arrogance (against Hillary Clinton) might be all that is needed to topple him completely. And Friday, Jay Carney got the ball rolling by inferring that State is responsible for handling security at the embassies not the White House.
Gauntlet thrown. Let the civil war begin.
Congress is preparing to investigate the Benghazi attack and what lead to the death of Ambassador Stevens and three others. It will also have to follow the trail of ‘cover-up’ bread crumbs left in the two weeks that followed, by which the Administration lied about almost everything, what they knew, when, and why.
The Department of State and Secretary Hillary Clinton have said they will assist however they can, and are responding promptly to witness requests by the Oversight committee.
So here’s my thinking. Given that the Administration and State knew, and what we all now know, if Clinton gets hung up on this does it end her political career? Could Benghazi destroy any remaining interest she might have had at running for President in 2016?

From the Weekly Standard– amidst speculation that Joe “Gaffe Machine” Biden has been having far too many Joe-moments, we bring you today’s schedule. (on the jump…)
We know Biden is not doing the ticket any favors.
So is it time to bring on Hillary–though she and Bill can’t stand the Obama’s and the Obama’s can’t stand the Clinton’s either…but for the sake of power a Democrat will do just about anything. Or is this just a sit down and straighten out Joe kind of a day?
[Update on the jump]
I really had to shake my head over this, I really can’t believe that Hillary Clinton actually said this: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Tuesday accused the Syrian regime of a “divide-and-conquer strategy” aimed at setting the country’s religious and ethnic groups against each other. Really? The leading Democrat women in the nation actually … Read more
Last Tuesday, President Obama got off the helicopter in front of The White House carrying a baby piglet under each arm. The squared-away Marine guard snapped to attention, saluted and said: "Nice pigs, sir." The President replied, "These are not pigs. These are authentic, Arkansas Razorback Hogs. I got one for Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and I got one … Read more
This documentary is about the disenfranchising of American citizens by the Democratic Party and the Obama Campaign. We the People have made this film. Democrats have sent in their stories from all parts of America. We want to be heard and let the country know how our party has sanctioned the actions of what we … Read more
