David Axelrod Chucks Hillary and State Department Under the Benghazi Bus

Obama Campaign top adviser David Axelrod told Chris Wallace on FOX News Sunday this morning that the State Department was responsible for embassy security matters.

David Axelrod:

“The White House was talking about what the White House knew. There are embassies all over the world and requests all over the world and these requests go over the the security professionals at the State Department. And there’s no doubt that some of these matters went into the security department of the State Department. But it didn’t come to the White House and that’s what the White House was responding to.”

This is Barack Obama’s way of thanking Bill Clinton for working overtime to drag Barack Obama across the finish line in this year’s election.

I get it. From the WH it’s Obama good, Clinton bad. Does this qualify for the “war on women”?

Normally we don’t blame the president for these sorts of things but in this case . . .

I never thought I would see the day, when the democrat darling would be blamed for anything… and I don’t see it going over too good either.

I’m sorry – this just does NOT fly! Being the President is kind of like being the Mother. Every last thing that happens on your watch is YOUR fault – whether you had a direct hand in or not. Leave your children alone and they burn the house down, that is YOUR fault.

If Obama had been attending his security briefings then surely the topic of Libya would have arisen at least weekly, if not daily in recent times. The very first question any chief executive, even just those doing business in the region, would have would be about the security of their personnel in Libya.

Obama either didn’t know because he truly did not give a damn and didn’t WANT to know, or he is the single laziest, most irresponsible excuse for a leader this nation has ever put in place!

4 people are dead. The mother of one was on Fox last nite and it was heartbreaking. She’s been on CNN, now Fox and I imagine who ever will put her on. She wants to know what happened to her only child.

Granny, it’s not either or it’s both. Ignorant and lazy. This Clown loves playing president but doesn’t like Doing the hard work. He likes conerts, Air Force one, golf, press kissing his @ss, bj’s from Matthews.

Let the Hillary hit the fan !

Obama started a war with Libya and toppled Gaddaffi and then has no interest in the day to day operations of America’s newest consulate in an Al Qaeda stronghold…? Apparently their embassy was no different than the embassy in Bermuda.

He is either incompetent or a liar.
Actually he is both.

Oh..P.S. Axelrod is slime.

Funny. I seem to remember that Bush was not let off the hook for anything, especially when faulty intel was blamed for our going to war with Iraq. It was all about how the buck stops with the president. My how the tunes have changed.

And I think Kate is right: I don’t see Hilary taking the fall for this all by herself.

The Clintons won’t say a word. They can’t. They never have, even though they absolutely hate Obama. They can’t say anything about anything because Obama and his Marxist thugs have so much dirt on them they don’t dare speak up.

I long for the days of no….Axelrod, Carter, Wasserman-Schultz, Jay Carney, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Sebilius, Obama, Moochelle, Eric Holder, Bernanke, Clintons, Maddow, Matthews, Geithner, Van Jones, Jarret, Bloomberg, Warren, Boxer, Villagarosa, Emanual, Biden, Panetta, Labor Thugs, New Black Panthers, Jesse Jackson, Calypso Louie, Reverend Write, Flucke, Napolitano…..all gypsies, tramps, theives, and freaks of the Obama Administration. With leaders like these….no wonder America is circling the drain.

Romney needs to stoke the flames of this divide. Something like “The WH is saying it’s not their fault, it’s Hillary’s. I just want to know, ‘Where does the buck stop’?”

Read the chilling details of how the Ambassador and his team were killed by these savages.

http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2012/10/what-happened-in-benghazi.php

If after this you don’t agree Hillary, Joe, and Barack are not liars then clearly you are beyond help and in a serious state of denial.

The State Dept knew what happened almost immediately. They had previously denied add’l security support.

The Ambassador and 3 American’s are dead. They have blood on their hands and you trust them with your country?

To listen to Axelrod make excuses for Barack and team makes me sick.

Can you imagine the anger his sister must feel towards Obama; every childhood mishap must have been her responsibility – and their mother bought the lies…

There are 39 ‘mysterious’ deaths back during Clinton’s governorship. While I don’t think Shrillary would go that far, I also believe that payback is going to be a bitch (pardon the pun).
