The Benghazi Hearings

There was plenty of money budgeted for security; Obama didn't want to spend it.....in fact there was $200 million in unspent budgeted money for embassy security...

I guess Obama feels it is more important to fund Obama phones than security.
Why was Obama so stingy on security at Benghazi ?

Let me get this straight ... again ... the CIA was trying to keep it a secret from the interrorists that the terrorists had attacked the facilities even though the leadership in Libya was confirming the next day after the attack that it was by terrorists and the next day one was in custody.....

.. so five days later the U.N. Ambassador is lying on national television to keep the terrorists from knowing what the whole friggin' world (including U.S. citizens) knew at the time.

You know, the liberal mind insults people continually.

No, I don't want a cover up. I want the truth to come out. That will be a big "something". And I don't hate Obama, I just disapprove of dishonest, corrupt and incompetent Presidents, regardless of race, color, creed or political affiliation.

But keep it up. It's going to be a looooonng four years of defending him. It will be funny to watch. Miserable to endure, but funny to watch.

Yomama, that is almost correct. Woodrow Wilson on forward, I don't think there has been a decent POTUS. Possible exception would be JFK, but he had problems, too. Eisenhower was ok, but that is because he didn't really do much, and the country prospered.

The perfect President. Hmmm . . . probably the closest to that definition would be Thomas Jefferson. Not perfect, but the closest.

Better question...who made the decision on the levels of security that was in place in Benghazi? Who cut the funding for that? (*hint...it wasn't Obama) Originally Posted by markroxny

2 ... Her boss is Hillary ... shes taken full responsibility for Lamb's decision.

unless down the line dept head decisions have to have a mandatory presidential approval before they are implemented. ... no
