HA!! JoB. Clinton Foreign policy was a disaster during his tenure. Domestic and International. Remember WACO!!! Remember not helping in Rhwanda!!! Somalia!!!! The seperation of information from the CIA and FBI. There is so much more UNFORTUNATELY. Remember, he could have taken out Bin Laden and didn’t. Would the other 9/11 have happened if he had acted? We do not know. Do not lecture me.
Normally there should not have been a response the but the responses from the White House and Rice were not sufficient, contradictory, and appalling.
President Obama stated that he sent her out there with the wrong information.
The Weekly Standard reported:
((President Barack Obama revealed at his press conference this afternoon that he is responsible for sending U.N. ambassador Susan Rice to speak to the American people a few days after the September 11 Benghazi terror attack.
“As I said before, she made an appearance at the request of the White House in which she gave her best understanding of the intelligence that had been provided to her,” Obama said at the press conference, defending the statements the ambassador to the U.N. made regarding the Benghazi attack.))
You see, he let her tell the story that the Admin had doctored and wanted the public to think. That is not her fault unless she knew the actual facts. But for the President to knowingly try to skew the information was wrong. It happened because he was running for office. Nobody has been named as changing the intelligence assessment but the President is the man in charge, therefore he takes the blame.
General Patreaus said the Admin changed the talking points. Read this article. It has a timeline of sorts.

Seriously, The story that came out immediately is vastly different from what has come out since. The admin tried to downplay it, gave Rice watered down and insufficient talking points.
So yes, Romney was right. You don’t like it. You disagree but the fact is he had every right to speak about it.
STFU? Not on your life.
