A disgrace



There are simply no other words for it.   I never liked Obama; I thought he was a hyper-partisan socialist/communist whose policies were misguided.  I thought he was hyper-political, running focus groups on what shoes to put on in the morning.  But it never occurred to me that he would deliberately paralyze the national security apparatus for what has to be political reasons.  
While American diplomats and personnel fought the terrorists for seven hours, Obama's crack national-security team and the U.S. military simply watched and listened. U.S. fighters could have been on the scene in an hour offering support, and U.S. commandos within 3 hours, but no orders were given. A military-loathing, anti-American commander in chief sat on his hands while U.S. territory was attacked, a U.S. ambassador assassinated, and three other Americans murdered, and team Obama then devised a phony story to cover up for the disaster.
I say deliberately, because I have to believe that in the absence of orders to the contrary, there is someone in the US military chain of command in Africa or Europe that has the authority to make the call to go in and secure the facility and save the embattled US personnel. 

Then, a BS story or excuse is not only thought up, but sent around to the State Dept. et al and told that this is the official word, even though individuals in State and elsewhere knew perfectly well it wasn't.  All for polling reasons.  Disgraceful. That alone is worth throwing the bum out, and once he's out, pressing charges.

Original is here, but you have to dig down a bit.
