My thoughts:
Her admission that she is responsible for mismanagement of the State department will all but kill her chances for a presidential run, except of course that Democrats don't care about character or integrity or the ability to do the job.

She took responsibility though the Libyan government was mainly responsible for protecting the facility and there was no advanced indication that it might be attacked, though there were other attacks on diplomats in Libya that could be seen as indicators.
George Bush was in charge when 9/11 happened and we had intelligence that something big was going to be tried even if we didn't know what it might be. George Bush took no responsibility for allowing the attack to happen and if that isn't mismanagement I don't know what is. On top of that how about Rummy's leadership during the attack on Iraq? Where were the flowers we were supposed to be greeted with? How about all the other rosy predictions by Rummy, Bush and Cheney that never took place? Millions in cash going missing? That was all on a scale thousands of times bigger than Benghazi and not a peep from the Bush/Romney apologists.
We have never heard a one of you righty's call that mismanagement, though most of the world knows it was. Instead you either blindly defend (as you accuse us of doing for Obama) or say that it is past and no one should point fingers (sweep it under the carpet). Again, you all are the biggest lot of frauds and hypocrites the world has ever seen (well maybe not, but that we've seen lately). Shit, you hate Obama and his policies even when he adopts policies the right and Republicans supported until just recently. How insane it that? You were for it before Obama became for it and not you are against it. Talk to yourselves in the mirror much?
When you get to a point where you can at least acknowledge a little reality, those of us on the left can rationally discuss the many areas we don't agree with what Obama has done and may be doing, but until that time comes we will defend that he is a much better choice than Bush, Romney, McCain or anyone on the right could ever be.
