According to your link, the white house was simply doing what it was told, and that they in fact had approved a lot more information being left in earlier. So, are we now past blaming Obama for this, or does this still tie into him somehow? |
Well, it is his administration. A president is going to be expected to answer for what his administration does and needs to be seen as dealing with such situations, not pleading ignorance as if it's some kind of defense.
Other than that, I guess he should have to answer for personally pushing the YouTube video long after it was known that Ansar al-Sharia had pulled off the attack in revenge for the killing of al-Libi and for the White House's lie (via Jay Carney) that they and the State Department together only made one change to the talking points, an insignificant change of "consulate" to "diplomatic outpost". And I suppose we're also owed an explanation as to why assets in the region were told to stand down instead of responding to the attack.
