White House continues to stonewall: “‘Irrelevant’ Where Obama Was During Benghazi Attacks”
 
It’s only irrelevant if he’s not the commander-in-chief! Why does this administration think they can have it both ways? Oh, never mind; because the msm lets them get away with it.
 

Original 5-17-13 post ~

What’s been lost in this week’s one-scandal-after-another news cycle is still the elephant in the room. The unasked (except by conservatives), critically important question about Benghazi – and ultimately, about the leadership of America – is ~
 

 
 
Back in February, five months after the attack, the White House did finally reveal; Obama made no phone calls on night of Benghazi attack.
OK…
What did he do???
 
And at what point does his inaction become egregious dereliction of duty?

 
Give a quick listen to this clip from Hugh Hewitt’s radio show last Thursday (here’s the transcript) – he’s speaking with Mark Steyn about last week’s Benghazi hearing.
While they don’t directly address the mystery of just what Obama was up to while the attack was underway, I totally share Steyn’s righteous indignation over the administration’s mishandling of the crisis ~
 

Chris Stevens is in fact the poster boy for the Obama-Clinton view of the Arab Spring. He’s one of their guys. I mean, as chaps like me look on it, he was in large part deluded about the nature of the Arab Spring, that he was a personally courageous and brave man who was on the front line of the Obama-Clinton narrative about the Arab Spring. And they let him die, and then told lies over his coffin…
 
They did that to one of their own…
 
…In a sense, he not only died for the Obama-Clinton fiction, he was sacrificed to the Obama-Clinton fiction of the Arab Spring. This is absolutely disgraceful. I cannot conceive of how empty and dead you have to be inside to put Ambassador Stevens through that, then leave him to die…

Remember how the media was all over George W. Bush in the immediate aftermath of 9-11? Where was he? What was he doing? Was he in hiding?
 

Eleven years later, why aren’t they demanding to know what his successor was doing while the Benghazi disaster was unfolding? America deserves answers.
