#7  Why didn't the Zero approve the requests?

Does he claim he didn't know that they were made?
Was he advised (by Jarett?) to vote present?
What did he know and when did he know it, and THEN what did he do about it?

#5  And this: Obama did not deny requests for help in Benghazi: Aide

The White House on Saturday flatly denied that President Barack Obama withheld requests for help from the besieged American compound in Benghazi, Libya, as it came under on attack by suspected terrorists on September 11th.

#4  And then there's this: Navy replaces admiral leading Mideast strike group

The Navy said Saturday it is replacing the admiral in command of an aircraft carrier strike group in the Middle East, pending the outcome of an internal investigation into undisclosed allegations of inappropriate judgment.

It is highly unusual for the Navy to replace a carrier strike group commander during its deployment.

The Navy did not reveal details of the allegations, citing only an accusation of "inappropriate leadership judgment" that arose during the strike group's deployment to the Middle East. Rear Adm. John Kirby, the Navy's chief spokesman, declined to discuss the investigation.

#1  One thing that comes out of Benghazigate is that Obama is completely unfit for office. There is plenty of intelligence on that.
