Obama/Democrats Say Don’t Worry, They Will Follow His Lead
On the evening when our quasi-embassy in Libya was sustaining an eight hour attack in which three American foreign service agents and our Libyan Ambassador were mutilated and murdered, the President and the Secretary of State of the United States of America constructed a distracting story which would minimize the significance of the attack, and went to bed.
Barack Obama was the President. In that time of crisis at least some of us expected him to do everything that he could do to protect our people. We were being attacked. All help was withheld. The “Stand down” order was given. The attack went on for eight more hours. He let it go
The failure of the President of the United States and his Secretary of State to act in defense of our personnel and their crumbling defenses is the charge. They have admitted to these charges. “What does it matter?”, Clinton exclaimed in the Benghazi hearing to the Government, the media, to the people, to the world. The President and Hillary are hey are not worried about these charges because their constituency will follow their lead.
The lie that he and Hillary Clinton constructed about a You-Tube video was designed to imply that Al-Qaeda was not responsible for the attack…because our war with Al-Qaeda had been won by him as he had recently claimed and must remain true. Courage, it doesn’t demonstrate. Overwhelming concern? No. Concern about continuing his agenda and his need to be re-elected? Yes. Clearly. That is what he was worried about.
He passed control of our non-response to Leon Panetta, Secretary of Defense in the administration. No further communication between Panetta and the President took place that night. Panetta would handle it. Obama knew that he could defend Panetta easier than he could defend himself should things turn ugly. The next day he flew to a fund raising event out of town, the building was finished burning and the smoke finally cleared a few days later. Not to worry. His people would follow his lead.
The expected uproar from the media never materialized. Attention was placed on the You-Tube video. No explanation was offered as to where the President went or what he did during the hours of the attack. He couldn’t say he went to bed, but he did attend the fund raiser the next day so he did get enough sleep to look good and raise money. By his lack of explanation he suggests that he did nothing. But he doesn’t worry. His people will follow his lead.
His followers fill the internet and the Mass Media praises him beyond reproach. Anyone who dares criticize him risks his followers’ attacks, vilifying them as evil doers who would wreak destruction on mankind and especially the poor and weak, challenging the powerless to do what he has failed to do, following his lead.
Leon Panetta’s memoirs will no doubt reflect that the President’s failure to assume control of this non-response was the worse night of his life and that he wouldn’t have bet a nickel that Obama wouldn’t suffer politically fatal damage from it. His surprise and amazement of Obama’s success following this failure of leadership will always be boundless, I am certain.
That night he had no idea that no matter what Barack Obama does, no matter how crazy his ideas are, they will follow his lead. No matter how many trillions of dollars he spends, they will follow his lead. While ignoring the oncoming train wreck of entitlement spending, they will follow his lead. As he flaunts the numbers of new jobs he ignores the numbers of those who have fruitlessly stopped trying to find a job and the numbers that reflect part time jobs instead of full time jobs, this country gets weaker each day. It doesn’t matter. The Democrats, the Media, and his supporters who have no idea of what all of this means…They will follow his lead.
There is a clear and present danger that his leadership is leading to our country’s economic destruction. He isn’t worried. They will follow his lead.
