At 10:30 p.m. on September 11, 2012, Mitt Romney issued a statement saying the following:

“It’s disgraceful that the Obama administration’s first response was not to condemn attacks on our diplomatic missions, but to sympathize with those who waged the attacks.”

He was immediately hammered in the Press for an error of fact and an error of judgment.  Even some senior Republicans ripped him a new one.  This, in the minds of the main stream media, was clear evidence that Mitt Romney was not ready for prime time.  But, at least Romney was paying attention.  That was more than we can say for either President Obama or Hillary Clinton.

Secretary of State Leon Panetta testified that Barack Obama was totally uninvolved in responding to this attack.  This was confirmed by General Dempsey.  According to Panetta, he met with Obama at a 5:00 p.m. prescheduled meeting and spent 20 minutes talking about the American Embassy that was surrounded in Egypt and “the situation that was just unfolding in Benghazi.”  That is the sum total of Barack Obama’s involvement.

Panetta said that on the night of 9/11 he did not communicate with a single person at the White House.  NOT ONE SINGLE PERSON!  He also said he had no contact with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

“In between 9:42 p.m., Benghazi time, when the first attacks started, and 5:15 am, when Mr. Doherty and Mr. Woods lost their lives, what conversations did either of you have with Secretary Clinton?”

This is far worse that I imagined.  We had a Secretary of Defense who didn’t bother to discuss the siege of a U.S. Consulate and a missing U.S. Ambassador with either the White House or the State Department.  It is impossible to justify this.  The only possible excuse available to Pannetta would be if both the White House and the Secretary of State told him they didn’t want to be bothered!

But, in spite of this gross negligence admitted by Panetta, the White House definitely knew something bad was going down.  Mitt Romney issued his statement at 10:30 p.m. and the White House issued the following rebuke within minutes:

“We are shocked that, at a time when the United States of America is confronting the tragic death of one of our diplomatic officers in Libya, Governor Romney would choose to launch a political attack,” campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt said.

They may not have cared about people dying, but they sure cared about the political fallout!

This is an admission that the Obama campaign already knew about the death of one of our diplomatic officers.   Of course they knew.  It was all over the news.  Hillary Clinton also knew what was going on, because she issued the following statement later than night:

“Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet,” Clinton said. “The United States deplores any intentional effort to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. Our commitment to religious tolerance goes back to the very beginning of our nation. But let me be clear: There is never any justification for violent acts of this kind.”

Nice Hillary.  DID YOU EVER CONSIDER PICKING UP THE PHONE TO SEE IF YOUR AMBASSADOR WAS STILL ALIVE!

While Hillary and Barack fiddled, Benghazi was literally on fire.  Neither of them cared enough to make a single phone call.  NOT ONE SINGLE PHONE CALL.   No one on the entire White House staff made that call.  There is no evidence that anyone in the State Department made that call either.  Hillary Clinton definitely did not make that call.

Remember that famous add when Hillary Clinton asked who you wanted answering the phone during a crisis?  Well, perhaps the question is whether or not either of them would even bother answering the phone?

This is beyond outrageous.  I cannot imagine another U.S. President who would have responded this way.  Even Jimmy Carter would have been asking questions.  He would have probably mucked up the response, but at least he would have been asking questions. This is unforgiveable.

Then, in the ultimate case of hutzpah, Obama and Clinton put on a great show of remorse when they met the bodies of the dead Americans as they arrived back on U.S. soil.  The main stream media lapped this up like honey laced with Jack Daniels:

Always in the background, campaign politics gave way to a sense of sheer loss. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s voice broke as she spoke before the president, and she appeared to be fighting tears as she listened to him.

What crap!  If either Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton gave a damn about those poor unfortunate souls in Benghazi they would have paid at least some attention on the night of September 11.

Who knows what else they are covering up?  It is really hard to imagine anything worse than this.  This should be the top news story on every station in the country and the only acceptable response is outrage.  While we were watching in horror, neither the President of the United States or the Secretary of State cared enough to make a single phone call.  Obama was resting up for a quick campaign trip to Las Vegas.  We do not know what was so important to Hillary Clinton.

If the main stream media ignores this, then they have ceased to be worth saving.  As for President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton it is unforgiveable.
