How can he say stuff like this with a straight face is beyond me. I guess it shows what being a skilled liar can do.

Obama on Benghazi the hurricane: We leave nobody behind
POSTED AT 10:07 PM ON OCTOBER 30, 2012 BY ALLAHPUNDIT
If President Romney had said something this oblivious with the cloud of Benghazi over his head, itd be the lead story in political media for the next 24 hours. As it is, its president comments on storm soundbite filler for the evening news. Democratic membership has its advantages.
ndeed, but if you focus too much on what they didnt do that night, you risk forgetting what they didnt do before then. They effectively left Chris Stevens behind the moment they denied him any real consulate security and stuck him with a skeleton crew of Libyan contractors. How is it, per Panetta, that we cant send armed troops into harms way without knowing whats going on but we could send an unarmed diplomat and his staff?
And Ignatius is apparently quite right that the drones they sent to the consulate during the attack werent armed. Fox News reported that earlier today. After you watch O here, I recommend reading this NYT piece about the next intervention looming for the U.S., a clean-up effort in Mali against jihadists who managed to establish a base there with the help of heavy weapons they looted from Qaddafis arsenal in liberated Libya. Maybe we should start gaming out which African country will be destabilized by intervening in Mali next. Exit quotation: I think Charles is a little too hard on Obama. Frankly, its huge progress that he didnt blame this hurricane on a video.
