    I'm noticing not many liberals here to defend her, must all be busy recycling their "Hillary 2016" t-shirts...

    A Democrat that takes responsibility??? Could it be so? Only if the act has been previously orchestrated to accomplish some other deception.

    I'm late in putting in my 2x$0.01, but my response & subsequent question is:

    It sounds 'noble' to take responsibility and all, but what are the consequences of her actions? Charged with 3rd degree manslaughter and an end to her political future? Or, credit for being so 'noble' and running again for President in 2016?

    Every company I've ever worked for, when screwing up, even if voluntarily admitting, or admitting when pinned against the wall (as she was!), there were consequences---if not fired, then negatively affecting one's performance review and future promotion, etc.

    How is Hillary going to pay for her mistakes?!!

    In response to your signature, I suggest you go look at DonGlock's 50000 stormfront racebait threads and then maybe you'll want to change that.



    In response to the thread, the secretary of state taking responsibility for something that happened abroad? How weird!

    There is a difference between being responsible and accountable. One doesn't mean much without the other. We have nothing but words, at the end of the day four people are still dead and the public wants some level of accountability for this..

    The sig I use is to take 'race' out of this election since Obama won much of the white vote last election. I'm still waiting for the 'desperate' Obama campaign to re-inject it into the final waning days.

    Back to the topic: if Hillary were a CEO of a large corp, she would be fired by the board of Directors and her future career would be in jeopardy...."The buck stops here' is but cheap talk, and in fact the buck stops at the very top (as H. Truman being Pres)..it still falls on the Chief who put her in that position and shud have some overseeing of her duties.

    Govt & private Corps shud play by the same 'good businesss' rules....

    That doesn't change the fact that at least around here it is completely wrong.

    Sounds like more Liberal 'deflection' from the thread topic. Want to call me a misogynist next for picking on Hillary?!

    It will be interestering to hear Obama tonight should he get a question on it. What does he do, say "I take full responsibility", when Hillary has already stepped up ? When Biden has already said they had no clue about the security situation and requests from Libya ? When State is clearly in contradiction with what they knew about the actual raid, and when they knew it ? That what State knew the day after somehow did not count as "intelligence", but there's some other guy out there who is the distributor of all "intelligence", and apparently he's not so "intelligent" ? And that this "intelligence" is going to make sure we know exactly what Iran is doing, according to Clown Joe ?

    What it is is that the Obama campaign is making the decisions that the government should be making. That Ambassador Rice took her orders from the campaign. That Jay Carney takes his orders from the campaign.

    I do believe Mitt is going to shove it so far up Obama's ass before the last debate ends, that Obama will gag on his own tonsils. Lying sack of crap.

    I can't understand why nobody is considering the possibility that the Secretary of State, who runs the State Dept, which oversees our embassies and consulates, should be the one responsible for our emabssies and consulates.

    If someone alleges that Obama or Biden gets regular briefings on embassy/consulate security, for all 100+ embassies, and directly made a decision to say "screw B-gazzi, they're on thier own"....that's one thing.........if not...............it's all phoney outrage generated by the Romney campaign to compromise Obama's foreign policy numbers.

    Its been a month, that's a long time, and all we've gotten is a statement, no action. Either Hillary should have stepped down, or Obama should have fired her. This administration is out of control...

    The bottom line of my questions are: "If Hillary believed/knew that taking the bullet for Obama would ruin her political future, would she do it?"

    Or, is she just used to being pushed around by politically powerful men, similar to the wife of an abuser husband (Obama being her 'work' husband)...

    However,

    Hillary has a lot of experience at being a "woman who looks the other way," usually done for her own political expediency ......is she counting on compassion & understanding of Americans for her humble stance in taking the full blame that will propel her into nobility and set her up for 2016 presidency run...?!

    Everybody knows that Bill & Hillary are political animals (Bill really dislikes Obama but has signed up to keep the liberal ideology going) and will do what it takes, as in "the ends justifies the means." (the unofficial, hidden mantra of the liberals that's all too obvious to non-believers)

    She needs to resign, and then testify. I still want to know what intelligence they had that led them to think the video was at fault. I want to know who sent Rice on the news circuits and if someone in the White House advised Hillary the day after for her remarks (pointing at the video).

    They keep saying it was the intelligence that told them.....WHAT WAS IT????

    It can't just be the Muslims voicing their rage about it prior....in Egypt they called for riots for the death of Abu Yahya al-Libi the day before 9/11 attacks. So, you'd think that would be the reason they might jump to. But, they didn't. The only logical conclusion is that it didn't fit their agenda. If they want me to believe otherwise, produce the evidence they were going on.

    I'm actually trying to figure out why anyone is giving Hillary any type of credit for, after four years, finally reading her job description. If that's an accomplishment in this administration, we have some real problems to face...

    FYI, the person who is ELECTED is responsible for answering to we, the people... not the person who is APPOINTED.

    Ultimately, Obama/Biden are responsible.

    Goldie. I quoted my own OP. See what I bolded ?

    Further, I also noted that its the cover-up, as many have opined. Its about taking a month to even begin to get the right story out, instead of the politcal ass-cover crap we were fed. This whole thing wreaks of politics at every level. That was made clear in the House testimony last week, where Nordstrom made it clear that the basis for the requests for added security being denied was political. That is a policy that comes from the top. Above Hillary.

    He has to have been aware that Libya was a hot spot and he should have made it his priority to have been in the loop on anything concerning Libya.

    Why cant it just be both a planned attack and about a nasty video? After all there were riots going on all over that made perfect cover.

    And why do you want to know who sent Rice to say something? You want to fire that person? What good would that do?

    Nonsense. Everywhere in the ME is a hot spot. Youre just making it up because you dont like Obama in the first place.

    The "riots" were done because it was 9-11. The first 9-11 after the killing of Bin Laden. Not because of some video that had been out for months, and no one gave a crap about.

    The rioting mobs were chanting "Obama. Obama. We are all Osama".

    No. There is a stack of requests from Libya telling State that they need more security. There had already been two attacks in Benghazi. The British had already shut down their consulate in Benghazi.

    While most of the ME is a mess, Libya was the most risky by every measure. Its documented.

    Nah, I'm sure he told them not to disturb him while he's campaigning.

    Which, of course, he's done for the last 4 years now.
