"In my world, misrepresenting facts is a lie only if the person knew those facts beforehand."
2 weeks AFTER the attack O went before the UN and still blamed Benghazi on the video.
Is it your claim that for 2 weeks he didn't know that it was NOT a result of the video?
LOL no kidding.
Only die hard Obama supporters refuse to admit that Obama tends to lie a lot, even when the facts will come out shortly there after.
Look no further than the many lies he spewed about the ACA.
Benghazi is simply another example. Not his fault, he was misinformed, the CIA was wrong, he has an excuse for every time he is caught.
Let me ask you this, seeing how Obama, Clinton, Panetta and other were sit in a room watching all this happen in real time, do you think that they didn't know what was going on. Even in the middle east it isn't common for protestors to show up with heavy weapons and mortar tubes just to conduct a protest. So did Obama and Hillary lie about what was going on, they surely misrepresented the facts and seeing how this happened just 2 month before the election, they had to stall this off as to not effect Obama's chance of being re-elected. Is this impeachable, to deceive the American public for political gain is an impeachable offense.
"seeing how Obama, Clinton, Panetta and other were sit in a room watching all this happen in real time,"
I believe you have the picture of them watching the Bin Laden raid confused with Benghazi.
Clinton was NOT even in the White House and O was NOT in the situation room.
An impeachable offense is ANYTHING the House says it is.
Thirteen Benghazis happened under the Bush Administration. When the Republicans can show proof that they were 1/10th as interested in investigating those as they want to re-hash this most recent attack I'll believe this isn't a partisan witch hunt to make it hard for Hillary to run. Impeachment? Only if Obama stands inline behind Bush!
There was no "lie", this is just another exercise in righteous indignation by Republicans to keep their low information base angry and focused on hating the President and keep it from examining their party's complete and total disregard for doing anything constructive for the country, other than weakening oversight organizations and insuring greater tax breaks for billionaires.
Well, an attack involving Al Qaeda and a mob going crazy over an Internet video are two very different things.
As I recall the initial announcement blamed the video. But later it was attributed to Al Qaeda.
Still seems to be a battle over semantics, more than anything substantive.

If you can't see that, I don't know what to say. Still, I agree that should no longer be a focus (until the 2016 campaign if Hillary runs). The embassy security issue is what should be the focus. But it shouldn't be so much about this attack specifically.
The attack did not occur at the embassy, which was in another city entirely - the Libya capital of Tripoli.
