In a sane
world, a president who nonchalantly goes about his business while American soil
is under terrorist attack would be called to the carpet by a professional press. We have neither in this country today!
President
Obama didn’t make any phone calls the night of the Sept. 11 attacks on the U.S. Consulate in
Benghazi, Libya, the
White House
said in a letter to Congress
released Thursday.
“During the
entire attack, the president of the United States never picked up the phone to
put the weight of his office in the mix,” said Sen. Lindsey
Graham, South Carolina Republican, who had held up Mr. Obama’s
defense secretary nominee to force the information to be released.
Mr. Graham
said that if Mr. Obama had picked up the phone, at least two of the Americans
killed in the attacks on the U.S. Consulate
in Benghazi might still be alive because he might have been able to push U.S.
aid to get to the scene faster.
The White House has
said Mr. Obama was kept up to date on the attack by his staff, though after
being alerted to the attack in a pre-scheduled afternoon meeting he never spoke
again with Defense Secretary Leon Panetta,
Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Martin E.
Dempsey or then-Secretary of State Hillary
Rodham Clinton.

How is this
not a serious dereliction of his duties as commander and chief?
