I'll call you what you are and you ain't my friend.
The president as commander and chief oversees embassy operations insure security SOP are in place.
Good, you SHOULD call it as you see it.
Now, I'm asking YOU a VERY SPECIFIC question - is everything that happens on Obama's watch as president his fault? Requests were made for safety? I imagine that happens all day, every day.
The pres handles security? I would imagine that matters as small as an individual embassy would be delegated to a much lower level. I would also imagine that most of the security would be provided by the foreign nation ... kind of like we do here in the states.
The POTUS is ultimately responsible for the nation's security.
LBJ decided not to run for re-election during Nam because he felt campaigning was taking too much of his time he felt needed to be devoted to running the war and the country.
Apparently Obama feels his # 1 mission is to campaign. He could care less about anything else, other than his brackets and getting jerseys from sports teams........and golf.
