There is no doubt that in the fall last year, with an election looming, that those in the senior administration of the US government knew more about Benghazi than they to this day are letting on. Through the months that have passed Obama has steadfastly denied knowing more about the attack even though transcripts and emails have revealed top level communications that day and into the next about how they will spin the attack.
They held onto the damning parts until the election was won and now several months later we are hearing just how far up the administration these communications went. Not a whole lot linking Obama directly but one has to think that if a terrorist attack is ongoing the president would be up to date on all happenings, no matter what campaign mode he is in. There may be no online communications linking him but I have a hard time believing that there was not any face to face communications taking place at which time the wrong calls were made.
The fact that four Americans died in this attack that Obama and his administration deemed unworthy to try to take any action isn't enough, the administration has yet to come clean and hold anyone accountable for this inexcusable lack of judgement.

As a president you are to do your very best to lead by example, surround yourself with top level administration and be 100% up to date on any, and I mean any security threat. This attack showed the lack of ability of this man to lead the nation in times when a leader is needed. He did not make any call to action, he didn't so much as pick up the phone to see if action was even possible(which has since been proven that there could have been). What did Obama do? Well he heard of the attack, jumped into bed and got up the next morning and headed off to Las Vegas for some big campaign fundraising event.
Is this the action of a leader? I think many, even those on the left would agree that this is far from leadership. Even if he was being sheltered from the reality of the situation he fails as a president for not having the trustworthy staff around him. If he was not brought up to speed it means his staff, Clinton and everyone else were more worried about winning the election than saving American lives.
The fact that the Marines were told to stand down by the administration is inexcusable in every aspect. These are trained fighters who had been needed and felt the urgency of the situation and refused to listen to orders to stand down and went in to fight, fight for every American human life that was in danger. This sense of pride in nation is what sent them into a very dangerous and hostile situation, full knowing that they could easily die. But fight they did and are about the only ones in this whole situation that should be held in high regard and as heroes, Obama proved he is not, Clinton surely isn't and the rest of the senior military command certainly aren't.
What transpired in Benghazi is first and foremost a tragedy, but the ongoing cover ups, the lack of leadership and the complete incompetence of senior administration in the military and the White House call into question Obama's ability to lead America. All those associated need to be held accountable forthwith including those within the White House.
Was Obama more worried about re-election, keeping Americans safe, not trying to anger the Muslim world or a good nights sleep? Who knows for sure, but he did not act as a president that is fit to lead his nation and time is up for him to come clean once and for all!
