Several weeks ago, former security officers testified on Capitol Hill that they had sought additional protection in the months leading up to the attack -- further, a recently released cable from Ambassador Chris Stevens himself on the day of the attack noted "growing problems with security" in Benghazi.
"I was not personally aware of any request," Obama said Friday, adding that there is an "infrastructure" in place to "manage requests."
"Ultimately, though, any time there is a death of an American overseas, I want to find out what happened because my most important job as president is keeping the American people safe, and we will get to the bottom of what happened," he said.
"...NOT PERSONALLY AWARE OF ANY REQUEST..." WELL WHY NOT? IS HE OR IS HE NOT THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF?
What was he doing when the "requests" for additional security came through? Surely he was not off somewhere golfing or otherwise ignoring what his charges were doing, was he?
Now we know that he not only knew, but he knew that the attack was by terrorists only moments after the attack.
Yet, for two weeks he repeatedly (that means over and over again) said the attacks were just a reaction to a stupid video.
In your minds, dear liberals, was that the right thing to do?
When recently asked about it again by Kyle Clark, President BO (the amateur president) said, "The election has nothing to do with four brave Americans getting killed and us wanting to find out exactly what happened. Nobody wants to find out more what happened than I do."
And he said, "These are folks who served under me who I had sent to some very dangerous places."
For Pete's sake, he is the PRESIDENT! It should NOT be that hard for him to be told what happened!
Not only that, saying that the election has nothing to do with four brave Americans getting killed IS JUST NOT SO!
It goes directly to his ability to function as Commander in Chief. DIRECTLY!
And I guarantee you I want to find out what happened more than he seems to.
"...But we want to make sure we get it right..."
Get it right? GET IT RIGHT?
He got it WRONG! Don't you understand? He said it was because of the video! He got it wrong!
Any response to that other than, "You are correct. I got it wrong. It was not because of the video," was just an out-and-out, deliberate lie designed to take the heat off of himself ('cause he does not know how to handle heat...he's never had to before).
Now let me tell you something else: According to a former SPECOPS person, In any case of an embassador in trouble, the default order is to rescue an ambassador under attack. The only way that DOESN'T happen is if an explicit order to stand down is given, and it must come from Washington from the very, very top. That means the president.
In other words, there should automatically have been personnel on the way to rescue the ambassador UNLESS the president gave an order for them not to go.
President BO (the amateur president) is not the only lying, useless, monstrous president we've ever had, but he is among the worst...right up there with Jimmy Carter.
He is also the most disrespectful president since Nixon.
In the end, his only claim to fame is his ability to "be likable (which I never could see, but I guess some do).
Being likable is NOT a primary qualification to being president.
This one is much more concerned with being liked than with any other element of being president.
He is worthy of the name change from President BO (the child president) to President BO (the amateur president).
ADDENDUM: President BO (the amateur president) STILL does not know what happened. This video was from The Morning Joe Show, Monday, October 29, 2012.

Joe - "Several weeks ago, former security officers testified on Capitol Hill that they had sought additional protection in the months leading up to the attack".
That sounds like something that should be a matter of public record. Do you have a link to their testimony you can share?
"...further, a recently released cable from Ambassador Chris Stevens himself on the day of the attack noted "growing problems with security" in Benghazi."
Do you have a link to the cable? Any proof at all? No? Didn't think so.
"What was he doing when the "requests" for additional security came through? Surely he was not off somewhere golfing or otherwise ignoring what his charges were doing, was he? Now we know that he not only knew, but he knew that the attack was by terrorists only moments after the attack."
Is your impression of the job description of the President of the United States to be some guy sitting in front of a PC responding to emails from every government employee? Like your God responding to every prayer?
It don't work that way, bubba!
There is a chain of command. Every request from every government employee does not cross the desk of the President.
"According to a former SPECOPS person, In any case of an Ambassador in trouble, the default order is to rescue an ambassador under attack. The only way that DOESN'T happen is if an explicit order to stand down is given, and it must come from Washington from the very, very top. That means the president."
Really? Which "SPECOPS person" said that?
Which "default order"?
Which protocol demands a "stand down order from the President"?
What a load of CRAP!
"In other words, there should automatically have been personnel on the way to rescue the ambassador UNLESS the president gave an order for them not to go."
Prove it. Link to a protocol, policy or ANY PROOF AT ALL that this is an actual policy. Do it.
You can't.
There is a school of thought that say's you should gather all of the facts before making decisions or pronouncements.
XO: The links I linked to linked to the a priori sources.
I feel no need to go further than that.
Bad me! Bad me!
Did PBO (tap) spend two weeks saying that the attacks were in response to a video that "defamed" the Prophet, or didn't he?
Answer: He did.
Either he knew and lied about it, or he did not know and is incompetent.
TO THIS DAY, HE STILL SAYS HE DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH "FACTS" TO SAY WHAT HAPPENED.
Check the ADDENDUM video from the Morning Joe Show Monday.
XO: Don't you understand? He said it was because of the video! He got it wrong!
XO by knockout in the 1st.
Joe, you must be getting a little punch drunk.
Not only that, saying that the election has nothing to do with four brave Americans getting killed IS JUST NOT SO!

Stop the jingoistic nonsense.
Yes the deaths are tragic and regrettable.
However, embassy deaths happen and no president in some time has been immune from these events.
Did you blame Saint Ronnie Raygun for the embassy attacks by the Red Army Brigades?
Chucklenuts for over 20 embassy deaths?
Of course you didn't. This is just right wing whining. Surely your grasp of history is not as poor as it seems. I'll chalk it up to a cheap political ploy.
... and of course we need to mention the 251 killed in Lebanon when Saint Ronnie Raygun put the Marines in an exposed position trying to pull Ariel Sharon's fat out of the fire after that fool let his mouth right checks his butt couldn't cash.
Ducky: "...let his mouth right checks his butt couldn't cash."
A person educated in other than government schools would know that the sentence should be: "...let his mouth WRITE checks his butt couldn't cash."
But you must be credible, after all, you're a leftist.
Thanks grammar girl.
It's so easy to go typo Nazi when you can't respond to the argument.
I'm curious about the frequency of your attacks on other people's education. I'm quite satisfied with mine although we pure left handers do have trouble with spelling.
RISD B.F.A. with a minor in math at Brown.
We lefties are good at that spacial stuff.
You can tell which people here watch Fox News and which are totally ignorant of this story. The lamestream media have been trying with all their might to spike this story.
LR: Their ignorance is overwhelming.
@LR -- You can tell which people here watch Fox News ...

Joe, please note that I am on my best behavior.
Ducky: Yeah...I noticed. Didn't know you had it in you. I'm impressed...at least temporarily.
