sometimes I think that the GOP is so crazed about where Obama was at the exact moment Benghazi was taking place halfway around the world because they want to be able to accuse him of actually leading the attack.

"Where was he? We don't know where he was! COULD IT BE... HE WAS THERE???" DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!

They're fapping for a "Pet Goat" story.

Which was kind of a lame criticism at the time anyways.

My Pet Goat was only an issue because he was told about an attack on the US when he was reading a children's book, and he should have said, "that's it, kids, gotta go".

Ding ding ding. We have a winner!

I knew it... Obama did the Benghazi attack!

[trog]

Wait, where he was has become an issue? LOL

I've never understood why it was anyone's business. Of course, I think most of what's been blabbed about Benghazi so far should have been kept classified.

What difference does it make where he was? Should he have been in the war room? Wouldn't that signal prior knowledge that the attack was going to happen? (You know the tea partiers would be saying it did if he was). The President has the ability to direct his assets from anywhere in the world, his exact location is meaningless unless he himself is under attack.

Also, the suggestion that "noone seems to know where the President was" is absurd. Someone always knows where the President is. To suggest that he slipped free from his Secret Service agents, his staff and all the other people who follow him and...what?...flew to Libya and directed the attack on the embassy personally...is absurd. Someone knew where he was, probably hundreds of people knew where he was, it's just that insane tea party whackos aren't in the loop on the President's itinerary.
