Obama chose to lie.
Obama picked what would help his reelection and lied and squirmed and defended that lie for weeks.

There are only two possible reasons Obama chose to portray a false narrative (lie) to the American people about Benghazi: first, he felt that the truth would harm his reelection as it would be obvious al-Qaeda had not been destroyed, or second, he believes it is important to take every opportunity to make Americans feel badly about our first amendment rights. Which is it? An incurious press is risking our collective future.

Hillary worked on Nixon's impeachment, I'm sure she knows the coverup only makes the transgressions worse. Such hubris, and irony.

“Hosting something on Facebook is not, in and of itself, evidence.” said Hillary Clinton.

Who brought up Facebook except Hillary? Is this how she is going to shuck and jive her way out of this mess?

I cannot believe these people. Accountable for nothing, will lie about anything, no morals, no conscience...

The big difference #3 is that during Watergate and subsequent cover-up, no one died and our national security was never at stake.

The thing I've noticed about Obama's lies is that it makes no difference to him when they are exposed - he just digs in and keeps repeating them. He's still running ads about Bain Capital and tax incentives for moving jobs overseas, $6,000 increase in Medicare premiums, Romney wanting GM to go out of business, Romney getting rich by of shutting down factories.... The same thing happened with the video lie. Once he told it he stuck with it and would be still if it wasn't so blatantly false.

After I read an article, I like to read the comments afterward to get an idea what the people are thinking on any given subject. Most after this article were clear headed thinkers who had assessed the situation in Benghazi and came to the obvious conclusion that the Obama administration lied and continue to try and confuse the American public. However, there are some who by their comments will never place the blame where it belongs no matter what evidence is presented. These are the people who hold their liberal ideaology above love for their country.

Obama is a real and present danger to this country and MUST be defeated on November 6th. When that happens I fear this country is in for some rocky times from his followers. So be it. It is time for these anti-American lemmings to understand the power of the majority. We will not let this great nation fall from within.

DH and I were discussing the fact that if these people had any shame, none of them would show their face in public because they have been caught lying in the worst way. But they dont even bat an eye - just keep on telling those whoppers and daring you to call them on it. Audacious liars.

And Obama is the worst. It seems every word out of his mouth for the last almost 5 years (counting 2008 campaign time) has been a lie. And that goes for his buick-butted wife, too. They wouldn't know truth if it reached out and slapped them.

Something I've not seen mentioned is the next day after the Benghazi murders there was an article which said one of the ones murdered was on a game site and said something to the effect 'I don't know if I/we will make it through the night.' I guess it's not that important, but was just thinking how sad to be in that situation and know what was probably going to be the end result.

Call me paranoid but - Something that is bothering me - even if Romney absolutely blows zippy out of the WH, if zippy isn't arrested and jailed for treason, he will be able to continue his under the radar support for radical Islam to the detriment of this country which has given him everything and which he continues to detest. He MUST be stopped.

Bernstein and Woodward - where are you guys? Who will be Deep Throat?

Yesterday morning, before I had my first cup of coffee, I thought I heard Woodward's new book characterized as "just an anti-Obama book" (they were discussing sequestration).

I think this was Obama's plan from the beginning, destabilize the Middle East and give as many countries as he could to radical Islam. We got rid of Mubarak and Kadafi, stood back for their ''democratic elections'' which brought in the Muslim Brotherhood.

We've given the Brotherhood in Egypt a billion dollars and have been arming the rebels in Libya, the same group who attacked our compound.

Next term we'd continue to decimate our military, walk out of Iraq and Afghanistan and hand our sovereignty over to the UN. Michelle would start issuing ration books for our food.

Whoever is pulling Obama's strings has been very effective so far in achieving his goals. Throw in Obamacare for good measure. Vote Obama out before it's too late.

Why would someone post resposibility for an attack, in the middle of that attack, unless they had fairly good knowledge of that attack?

Yes, Madame Secretary, but posting something on Twitter is not proof that it did not happen.

OMG -- Letterman wants to know WHY the president lied...

What is happening?

Is the media finally starting to cover this betrayal of four Americans?

LZK

Hillary caught up in this, as well. Looks like we have a "two-fer".

I can't imagine any American president not giving orders to rescue our men. Well, I guess the operative word is "American."

Jon Lovitz must have concocted this lie.

"It was, uh, uh, the video - yeah the video that's the ticket"

Hillary you dolt . . . the emails sent to your department are your a chillies heel, not Facebook. This woman has lied so much and for so long that she cannot even distinguish it from the truth.

The point isn't WHY they lied. The point is that America was attacked (embassies are considered American soil) and four Americans died.

The point is that we were attacked in an act of war and did nothing. It doesn't matter WHY we were attacked or who lied. It does matter that we were attacked and did nothing but watch it happen. This Administration did nothing. Nothing.

It matters that the American "mainstream" media is choosing a Leftist political agenda over the lives of American citizens by refusing to cover this story realistically. This is more than unconscionable. It's sheer evil.

Obama should defriend those guys.

She didn't have a problem using Facebook as as evidence that the deaths were caused by a blasphmevous video, did she?

Watergate was a nothing burger and since the hag was so hot to trot Nixon out of office, she must be informed that being sos is not a permanent job and since she screwed up big time, she should resign and maybe serve some time in the pokey. That would be a sight to gladden many people that despise her and her worthless husband. As for the moron in the WH, he should be shipped to a desert island that has no water or food.

For one,Hillary is not " as fluid a liar" as Bubba. And secondly, how long does it take for an investigation? It took them under 72h to arrest the maker of the YouTube video. I for one, cannot understand why Hillary is still holding her job!!

She wanted an official letter, carried in a diplomatic pouch, delivered by ship(prefferably msailing).

And now Chris Matthews has a theme for today's show. If Brian Williams had your memory, #21, (and a tiny bit of integrity) Hillary might have gotten this stupid excuse shoved back down her throat.

Parsing: "in and of itself"

Lawyer Hillary! bubbles to the surface.
The thing is, the answer she gives here is answering a question that wasn't asked.

It's been a long time since anyone has used this term but here goes... "How Clintonian!"

Why Lie? What were they hiding?

Could it have been that the Ambassador was killed by a group that the US sent arms to?

Hmmm...such weasel words. Did she happen to go to the same law school as Bill Clinton?

Yes, Sean Smith not only wrote that on the gaming site but he also indicated in the days before the attack that there was hinky behavior going on= security not in their positions, nefarious characters taking photos, etc.

Oh and another big reason this was no demonstration- it started after 10pm at night and there had been no protests before. That was why Sean Smith was on the gaming site, it was well past normal work hours.

Is it possible that this was staged and then went terribly wrong? Maybe a kidnapping of the ambassador and a successful heroic rescue, unlike Carter's failed one in Iran?

This could happen in any city in America.
A large Christian church, and Muslims offended by the church bell, rain, snow, Utube..pick a reason..they are armed heavily..You and your family are inside.
No help is sent. THINK about it.
Obama betrayed the trust of the American People.

#10
Where is David Petraeus? I'll go back to calling him General Petraeus when he decides to man up and stop being one of Obama's boys.

There is a deeper question that I would like to have an answer for. And that is, given the reliable report(s) that WE(the US) had a drone overhead and that some of our people were watching the entire episode in real time(Lamb), who sent the drone? And why? I don't really think that we have so many drones and the money to fly them any and everywhere just for fun. That drone was there for a reason. Find that reason and the entire episode will unfold about who, what, when, etc. And yet, I don't hear anyone asking that question. Again, WHY DID WE HAVE THAT DROVE OVERHEAD DURING THAT ATTACK?

sorry, that should be "DRONE"

Finally, it has to be clear to critical citizens, it’s not just one False Narrative. It's the frightening awareness Obama and comrade handlers are spinning TWO FALSE NARRATIVES ! First, the one we know, covering up obvious Benghazi lies, violent deaths, other mass violence that followed immediately because of U.S. doing nothing, Fast and Furious, illicit amnesty to aliens, suing the states, promoting no ID for voting, CommunistKare, on and on indebting us into more trillions. Briefly, THAT'S False Narrative #ONE pushed now in New Media. False Narrative #TWO is the same, Old Media happy go lucky, agitating with jive talking, issue avoiding, permitting soft questions only, not balanced news in front of indoctrinated students and non essential government bureaucrats, visits on the commie View, Daily Show, pal Letterman, all the happy time TV visits, and endless stock footage on FoxNews and all networks that 24/7, show Obama gaily walking from helicopter to White House, smiling and waving to nobody. There you have it: two False Narratives, played to two distinctly DIFFERENT groups of Americans. Kind of like a magic act, “Now You See It, Now You Don’t”, Whichever audience is the sucker, the blind sided fool. His communist agitprop genius has been playing two separate roles to two separate markets, and the only question is, with covered up Benghazi deaths, is it finally catching up with him?

“Hosting something on Facebook is not, in and of itself, evidence,” ..Hillary Clinton

I'm pretty sure that depends on the meaning of the word is. Remember, it doesn't mean the same thing to these people.

The Obama Administration was extremely negligent for not providing adequate security to Ambassador Stevens and the US Consulate in Benghazi before the 9-11-12 took place.

Now they are trying to sell the nation something akin to what amounts to an "open barn door" situation, where they are pledging to fix that situation by closing the "barn door" after the horse has left the barn, or specifically after the attack in which the ambassador and three other Americans were murdered.

“Pulling something out of one's backsides is not, in and of itself, evidence," I grandly declare.

AQ attacking and killing US diplomats and routing the undercover CIA operation would not be optimal. They HAD to lie!

OK let me get this straight.......Facebook is not evidence, but YouTube is worthy of a UN speech????????/

Explanations that are mutually exclusive are lies.

Four brave Americans died. Obama, Clinton, and Biden lied.

Isn't it interesting that Hillary chose to ignore all those other emails from our people stating that the attack was by terrorists with guns, mortars, and rocket propelled grenades. Instead she addresses only the one email that referenced a twitter posting by people claiming responsible for the attack. This is a devious way of trying to imply that all of the emails were open to question, which is a lie!

Recent developments indicate that the claim of responsibility for the attack on twitter is valid.

Have to keep repeating: they all lie because
they know absolutely the Diane Sawyers will
absolutely protect them, cover up any crime.
It's a Monopoly Protection Racket that would
make every past gangster blush like a kid.

It's not affecting the polls. The mainstream propaganda machine is ignoring it. Barack Obama is a sociopath. He lies with ease, gets caught, no problem, just keeps repeating it. The media repeat his lies, endorse them, make excuses. Amazing , Luara Neesom(sp?) says it doesn't matter because Romney didn't call him on it, and it can't be a coverup because it's too incompetent to be a coverup. Obama's media enablers are really outstanding.
