I may have read things wrong, but I was under the impression that Obama had said that the administration's response to Benghazi, given that four Americans were killed, was "not optimal". Isn't this true? If so, Obama is right. Their response was far, far from optimal. Personally, I feel that Obama's and/or his administration's criticism of himself/themselves should be much, much more harsh. But, at least it was self-criticism in some way, shape or form.
If I'm wrong on this, please correct me. Thanks.
Progressives are not having a good week.
After a debate “victory” for President Obama, which amounted to simply being caffeinated because the bar was set so low after the first debate, his Libya lies are still haunting him. Yes, moderator Candy Crowley saved his bacon in the moment, but she ended up costing him by forcing a reluctant media to continue to cover the story. He may have won the night, but he lost the week because of it.
Had the president simply taken responsibility for his administration’s security failures, apologized, said it would haunt him and shape his actions...
That REALLY makes me angry.
it also proves he's not leadership material.
Obama delivered that line with his characteristic, "I'm Me. I don't care about anything or anyone else," detachment.
It shows that he meant that the response was not optimal for his re-election campaign, not to the country.
Then again, if he were referring to American deaths not being optimal, he'd be right. American deaths are far from optimal.
