the United Nations.


[FLASHBACK] At the UN Obama blames an internet video for Benghazi and the other attack - YouTube

I don't exactly know the point you are trying to make, or not make....

It considerably would make Obama look bad considering he is the commander in chief, if it
was simply negligence of action to an area in great danger.
There were multiple events occurring. Not every reference to a video is a reference to Benghazi.

From the BBC
BBC News - Q&A: Anti-Islam film
How did the film come to public attention?

The 14-minute video was first posted on YouTube on 1 July without attracting much attention. It was later picked up by various Arab TV stations, with religious Egyptian TV channel al-Nas' presenter Sheikh Khalad Abdalla broadcasting scenes on 8 September. A clip from his show, dubbed into Arabic, was posted online and within days had been viewed by hundreds of thousands of people.


Here is a site with all of Susan Rice's comments on the Sunday talk shows. Her references to the video were related to Cairo.

Default Oop's - The White House Ben Rhodes Caught Covering Up Bhengazi

The e-mails, obtained by conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch through a Freedom of Information Act request, include one in which White House official Ben Rhodes lists "goals" for then-U.N. ambassador Susan Rice to meet in explaining the attack and protests occurring across the Middle East that week to the American public.

Senator: E-mails show how Benghazi story shaped


Uh oh, more stuff piling on the administration... but let's talk about Sterling.

Sorry about the typo in the title

Anything to protect the First Black President.

It's a real shame Democrats couldn't have found an honest, upstanding guy full of integrity to fill this historical slot in American history. It's absolutely shameful to know the guy they chose for the job is a bald-faced liar through and through. What a disgrace. He's a blemish on our history for sure.

And ....let us not forget....to corroborate the story that Benghazi was the result of an anti-islam video.....the government made it a point to arrest the maker to prove that they were taking steps to quell any worldwide rebellion. Even as they knew the video had nothing to do with it.

That's how dastardly our government has become. Do you think you're free from government overreach? Not a chance.

You really have to wonder what effect Obama's presidency will have, the next time a viable candidate comes up who is black.

Might people recoil in horror (or something like that) when remembering what a disaster the last "black Presidency" was, and shy away from voting for another black man even if the new black man is perfectly viable (that is, very different from Obama)?

In other words, might Obama turn part of the electorate into biased, anti-black-candidate voters, just by sheer disastrous example?

I have no problem whatsoever predicting that it will be a very, very long time before another black president is elected. Barack Obama has more than poisoned the well, he in-filled it and capped it.

To be fair, trying to vote for an honest, upstanding guy from either party is like trying to walk on water.

Just ain't going to happen.

And we might see how bad it really was if we had access to all of their communications.

Governments that operate in secret usually have a lot to hide.
