Here is Maureen Dowd's take on this, which by the way, is almost exactly what I have been saying for months. 0bama is losing his liberal supporters left and... well left.

The toxic theatrics, including Karl Rove’s first attack ad against Hillary, cloud a simple truth: The administration’s behavior before and during the attack in Benghazi, in which four Americans died, was unworthy of the greatest power on earth.

After his Libyan intervention, President Obama knew he was sending diplomats and their protectors into a country that was no longer a country, a land rife with fighters affiliated with Al Qaeda.

Yet in this hottest of hot spots, the State Department’s minimum security requirements were not met, requests for more security were rejected, and contingency plans were not drawn up, despite the portentous date of 9/11 and cascading warnings from the C.I.A., which had more personnel in Benghazi than State did and vetted the feckless Libyan Praetorian Guard. When the Pentagon called an elite Special Forces team three hours into the attack, it was training in Croatia — decidedly not a hot spot.

Going into one war and then bungling it while starting another based on lies is truly unworthy of the greatest power on earth. Karl the liar Rove should learn to keep his big mouth shut as the old saying goes "people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones".

Another thread about Obama's latest failures....another attempt to defect by citing something that has absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand. This is becoming more pathetic every time.

Translation - "Booooosh!!"

This is always the last resort of an 0bama sycophant who is at a total loss at how to defend 0bama. If you want to excuse every failure of 0bama by equating him to Bush, then just admit 0bama is just like Bush, and we are in Bush's fourth term.

Scathing... But I have an eery feeling there's even more to it than that. Why else would the administration feel the need to completely dismiss the attacks and even try to hide that they even happened.

I'm thinking they were worried about weapons, shared intelligence, funding... something. I mean why try to cover up your actions before, during and after if this was simply a tragedy.

Tragedies happen all the time and the president comes on stage and does the usual but when there's more to it, like a kid caught lying or stealing, it's beyond obvious the kid is guilty and all you needed was to see their out-of-the-ordinary reactions to know it.

I'll admit that Obama has been like Bush if you admit that your hero Bush was a total failure as President.

Oh, I forget, the left thinks 0bama is the president from Mars, who only flies in once in awhile. And when he does fly in he is always shocked and amazed at what is going on in our government, and looks around, wondering who the hell is in charge of our government. Then he flies back to Mars, where he is not responsible for anything going on here on planet earth.


Hint: 0bama is the president, no not from Mars. And as our president he is imminently responsible for the actions of the people in his administration. Responsible for Benhgazi, IRS, phone records, sequester, debt, deficit, 0bamacare etc....
