Obama Campaign: Come On, Benghazi Was Only A Compound (Video)

Former Governor Jennifer “Hey, Hey, Hey!” Granholm told Meet the Press this morning that Benghazi was only a compound.

Of course, Granholm is wrong. The Benghazi consulate was attacked back in June and requested additional security.

The security was for a man named Chris Stevens. He was our ambassador and now he is dead.
There is no defending the lack of security for the guy in the most dangerous post in the world.

… and the murdered ambassador and other American citizens were only bumps in the road.

Dear G-d.

What on earth is this woman smoking? Unappointed Valerie Jarret had more protection at taxpayer expense on her VACATION, protection that her position does NOT entitle her to, than United States Ambassador Christopher Stevens did in Benghazi.

As the United States Ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens represented both the American People and, more directly, the President of the United States of America.

The Consulate was United States territory! What’s the “big deal”?

As I recall, it was a pretty darned BIG DEAL when the Iranians overran the US Embassy in Iran under Mr. Peanut. Cost him the presidency. Losing an embassy or a consulate – never mind having an ambassador murdered – is absolutely a really BIG DEAL.

Granholm should be ashamed.

What a frigging moron. Four people are dead and the people in charge (that means having responsibilities) failed to do their jobs.

Jennifer, take your squirrel(ly) BS and go away. Mebbe you can redo the Dating Game

“Granholm should be ashamed.”

She is clearly unashamed – but what she thinks and says is shameful, nevertheless.

Characteristics of a sociopath:
(We have a whole administration of them!)

Glibness and Superficial Charm

Manipulative and Conning
-They never recognize the rights of others and see their self-serving behaviors as permissible. They appear to be charming, yet are covertly hostile and domineering, seeing their victim as merely an instrument to be used. They may dominate and humiliate their victims.

Grandiose Sense of Self
-Feels entitled to certain things as “their right.”

Pathological Lying
-Has no problem lying coolly and easily and it is almost impossible for them to be truthful on a consistent basis. Can create, and get caught up in, a complex belief about their own powers and abilities.

Lack of Remorse, Shame or Guilt
-A deep seated rage, which is split off and repressed, is at their core. Does not see others around them as people, but only as targets and opportunities. Instead of friends, they have victims and accomplices who end up as victims. The end always justifies the means and they let nothing stand in their way.

Shallow Emotions
-When they show what seems to be warmth, joy, love and compassion it is more feigned than experienced and serves an ulterior motive. Outraged by insignificant matters, yet remaining unmoved and cold by what would upset a normal person. Since they are not genuine, neither are their promises.

Incapacity for Love

Callousness/Lack of Empathy
-Unable to empathize with the pain of their victims, having only contempt for others’ feelings of distress and readily taking advantage of them.

Irresponsibility/Unreliability
-Not concerned about wrecking others’ lives and dreams. Oblivious or indifferent to the devastation they cause. Does not accept blame themselves, but blames others, even for acts they obviously committed.

Lack of Realistic Life Plan/Parasitic Lifestyle
Tends to move around a lot or makes all encompassing promises for the future, poor work ethic but exploits others effectively.

OTHER CHARACTERISTICS:

-Contemptuous of those who seek to understand them
-Does not perceive that anything is wrong with them
-Authoritarian
-Secretive
-Paranoid
-Only rarely in difficulty with the law, but seeks out situations where their tyrannical behavior will be tolerated, condoned, or admired
-Conventional appearance
-Goal of enslavement of their victim(s)
-Exercises despotic control over every aspect of the victim’s life
-Has an emotional need to justify their crimes and therefore needs their victim’s affirmation (respect, gratitude and love)
-Ultimate goal is the creation of a willing victim
-Incapable of real human attachment to another
-Unable to feel remorse or guilt
-Extreme narcissism and grandiose
-May state readily that their goal is to rule the world

In her mind, Stevens was merely the ambassador to a minor country, of no real consequence.

Will the real life story of incredible bravery, and the extreme courage of warriors Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods be lost just because of Machiavellian politics ?

Updates as more information is coming through. Even if the true story of their heroism casts an uncomfortable light of truth upon the lies told by President Obama and his administration we will tell it. They deserve it.

President Obama implied, quite intentionally, in his Weekly Address that Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods were part of Ambassador Christopher Steven’s security detail:

“Glen and Tyrone had each served America as Navy SEALs for many years, before continuing their service providing security for our diplomats in Libya. They died as they lived their lives — defending their fellow Americans, and advancing the values that all of us hold dear.

-President Obama (Weekly address)

Sounds good, the only problem is this statement is a total fabrication. It was worded to imply Ambassador Stevens had more security than actually existed. Yes, they were both former Navy SEAL’s, but neither Tyrone nor Glen were part of the Ambassadors official security detail.

No. The truth is: they heard the attack, they heard the gunfire, and despite the danger to themselves they rushed into the breach taking weapons from the frightened Libyan security officials to help protect the American Consulate, Ambassador Stevens and his embassy aide Sean Smith.

Both Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty were under no obligation to assist, protect or defend Stevens. They could have bugged out, they didn’t….. They ran into the breach. It was, and is, an important enough distinction such that two U.S. officials quickly wanted to tell the truth. They told the Guardian:

[...] they feared the Obama administration’s scant description of the episode left a misimpression that the two ex-Navy SEALs might have been responsible for the ambassador’s personal safety or become separated from him.

“Woods and Doherty weren’t part of the detail, nor were they personally responsible for the ambassador’s security, but they stepped into the breach when the attacks occurred and their actions saved others lives — and they shouldn’t be lumped in with the security detail,” …..

According to what scant actual information is available the former seal team members, Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods, appear to have been in Libya because they were contracted by another intelligence office, probably the CIA, to track down the missing surface-to-air missiles from the initial rebel uprising.[.............]

Axelrod Throws State Department Under Benghazi Bus(another Obama operative and hope he too is looking for a job after Jan. 20, 2013)

The State Department is the latest casualty of the Obama administration’s obfuscation of the events surrounding the Benghazi attack.

Tearing a few pages out of the old Clinton playbook, David Axelrod carefully defined the word “we” this morning for Fox News’ Chris Wallace: when the Vice President said in Wednesday’s debate that “we” weren’t aware of the Benghazi consulate’s requests for increased security, “we” included only the President and the Vice President – not the Obama administration at large or the State Department. You got that, right?

In response to Wallace’s inquiry about whether the President takes personal responsibility for the denial of security requests in Benghazi, Axelrod said, “these were judgments that were made by security folks at the State Department.”

#3 Granny – ” the Iranians overran the US Embassy in Iran under Mr. Peanut. Cost him the presidency” – That’s exactly what’s on their minds Granny. We’ve got so way many other things to cause us not to vote for this incompetent clown, but that’s the one they are fretting over.

We have heard the excuses and the spins from Democrats and still NO SECURITY, SECURITY DENIED AND SEALS, OTHER AMERICAN AND AMBASSADOR KILLED AND OBAMA WAS NEVER TO BE FOUND, OOOOPPPSS, VEGAS, VIEW AND ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL.
This will prove to be the end of his political career, at least as president.
