Election 2012

It looks like Hillary Clinton has decided to throw herself on the sword for Obama and is taking the blame for not raising a red flag sooner on the Libyan embassy ...

Somehow I managed to miss news that there had been 2 IED attacks on the US consulate in April & June!

Now there are questions on how the President COULDN'T have known about it.

" ... well I'm responsible for the people of the state department - for the more than 60,000 people around the world - the decisions about the security assets are made by security professionals, but we're going to review everything to make sure that we're doing what needs to be done in an increasingly risky environment around the world. There's no doubt that our men and women from the state department, USAID, the rest of our government are having to balance all the time how to do their jobs and not stay behind high walls but to do it as safely as possible - and thats an ongoing daily calculation around the world ..." Hillary Clinton interview {not date given}

so this will come back to bite her in the butt for the 2016 run for the White House ...

I have to wonder if Obama isn't figuring that after he loses THIS election, he will run again in 2016 ...

I know that John McCain said on FoxNews ("America's Newsroom", 16 October 2012, 8:30amCT for future reference) that Obama couldn't run again ... But I think he is mistaken.

My understanding of the law/amendment 22 - if Obama loses then there is nothing to prevent him from running for another term ... As well as Carter, Bush1, or Ford (is he still alive?) ...

But then I am beginning to doubt the intelligence of the American people and by the time 2016 rolls around they may just forget all about this self-proclaimed admission of blame ... Or how it is likely a ploy to cover-up the presidents fault by not attending the daily briefings of America's security and that of her assets around the world!
