| Is the White House responsible for Libya? (Posted on 10/13/12 at 10:44 am)
President Obama took credit when Seal Team 6 killed Osama Bin Laden, he also took credit when the navy snipers killed the pirates. But, now the White House is saying they did not know about the request for more security in Libya, the State Department is at fault.
If there was a flow chart to describe the level at which the above incidents happened the members of Seal Team 6 would probably fall between 4 to 6 levels below the President, but Hillary reports directly to the President.
So, it is ok for the President to take credit for a soldiers action (who he has never met) but not take responsibilty for the actions of someone he appointed (who reports directly to him)?
Obama holds all the CEO's accountable for the actions of their employee's, but he refuses to take responsibilty for Holder and Hillary for their actions.
Is my logic flawed?

Yes, the buck stops at the top. Obama's throwing the State Dept. and CIA under the bus but ultimately he is responsible. He thought he could smooth over Islamic radicals with appeasement and it backfired big time.

On a side note, could you imagine George Bush blaming Colin Powell for something like this?

Even if Hillary fricked up by making the call not to send help...
The WH owns the lies and deception after benghazi
They are culpable for lies, she is culpable for incompetence

Do you remember Brown's handling of Katrina? Or did Bush get the blame?

Yes it's responsible.
You can't take credit for the successes and pass the buck for the failures. Although our president loves doing this. The president needs a serious lesson on leadership because he hasn't shown any in 4 years. That's my biggest complaint with him.

Wouldn't happen...bush's only real lie to the American people was not letting the people know the truth about the WMDs that were found...
He refused to spike that football in the face of our allies who supplied the mad tyrant all that material behind closed doors...instead he humbly took the asswhooping to prevent worldwide tensions from escalating

Well, the White House did help topple the tyrant that kept these crazy militants in check. We don't know if those crazy militants were using weaponry we helped supply. We don't know why there was not a better defense against those crazy militants.
