Leadership: Obama admits sending our U.N. ambassador, who had "nothing to do with Benghazi," to explain Benghazi on five Sunday talk shows "at the request of the White House" with talking points "provided to her."
Considering this was President Obama's first press conference in eight months, his bluster that if "Sen. McCain and Sen. Graham and others want to go after somebody, they should go after me" regarding Benghazi is a bit odd.
When the questions needed to be asked and answers needed to be given, both the president and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton were nowhere to be found.
Why wasn't our secretary of state, whose department received real-time emails that our Benghazi consulate was under a terrorist attack for which the al-Qaida-linked group Ansar al-Sharia was taking credit, on these talk shows? Why not send the person who knew about prior attacks and requests for additional security that were denied and the diplomats who warned the consulate was surrounded by terrorist training camps?
Obama seemed more outraged that the rumored successor to Clinton at State was being criticized for parroting an obvious lie than by the terrorist attack that killed a U.S. ambassador, two former Navy SEALs and another diplomat. He and his administration knew that very night, the night he flew off to Las Vegas to campaign, that terrorists killed the four Americans, yet he sent his U.N. ambassador out to lie for him.
Does Obama really expect us to believe "she gave her best understanding of the intelligence that had been provided to her" when the CIA station chief and the National Counterterrorism Center chief had said it was an organized terrorist attack with mortars and rocket-propelled grenades and there was in fact no mob?
If this was Susan Rice's audition to be the next secretary of state, she's not ready for her close-up. What she was provided were the same nonsensical talking points about a video that Obama repeated six times before the U.N. on Sept. 25, two weeks after the attack but not once calling it a terrorist attack.
