WH Advisor: It's an 'Irrelevant Fact' Where Obama Was on Night of Benghazi Attack
As a
caring U.S. citizen who follows the news of a beloved country in which I grew
up, I am compelled to respond to what is happening. I read at least 6
publications daily- even those whose policies are opposed to mine. Living
outside of the States gives me the advantage of knowing how the country is
perceived internationally. I am appalled at what is being revealed about
the present American government - ashamed- and very worried. My concern
has to do with the internal turmoil just at a critical moment on the world
stage. I wrote the following after reading the article the title of which
and link are above. I am heartsick and hope you are feeling a bit of this,
too. Know that I call the White House and members of Congress and you can,
too. Follow the news and act!

My response to article re Obama whereabouts on Benghazi
night –May 20, 13
The
arrogance that is emanating from the
WH is not to be believed! Is anyone aware of the fact that a President bears
responsibility to the citizens of the country and is answerable to
them?
What has happened to the
checks and balances that are part of the very fabric of the U.S. government?!
What has happened to the dignity of the Office of the President? Where is the
'bringing people together' that was promised?! Where is the follow through on
promises made?! Where is the 'transparency' that was promised and the words that
resulted in a Nobel Peace Prize?!
We are taught that
'actions speak louder than words'. The answers to the questions above have been
exposed by an irrefutable display of lack of competency and leadership that has
undermined the U.S. both domestically and internationally. What has been revealed is the corruption from
the top down. No thinking person is willing to accept the usual WH excuse about
the Republicans or someone else being at fault for everything that is wrong.
Beyond the offense is the
effort to cover up by claiming 'ignorance' because information was not forwarded
to the President or Sec'y of State. Well, if that is so - why not?!!! The
specter of Benghazi is haunting and the Hillary Clinton exasperation and
heartless outburst regarding 'why it should not matter' still rings in the ears
of decent people to whom it DOES matter! The variety and number of
versions DO concern us! Errors
are made and apologies should be forthcoming but covering up tragedy with lies
results in lack of trust. (Even Chris Matthews is mad!)
Now it is incumbent upon
the American people to make their feelings known.
The liberal media must be
challenged and demands made that it live up to the Standard of Ethics that
exists to assure the public that news will be reported – not created - by its
staff. Volume counts and there must
be an outcry against the injustices that have been going on with politics being
the driving force rather than the welfare of the country (not ‘welfare’ as in
free loading!).
The White House
switchboard must be kept busy with the opinions of the citizenry and the demands
for ‘WhiteHousecleaning’. Members
of Congress must be put on notice that even their longtime service will be
jeopardized if they do not cease being ‘yes men/women’ to an administration that
honors no boundaries. It might
begin with the firing of the overabundance of ‘czars’ appointed by the President
( who obviously do not keep him informed).
Included in this budget
adjustment should be curtailing the exclusive trips arranged by ‘the First Lady’ (
requiring security to be housed nearby – also in luxury) Recently, there was a report in which
Michelle Obama said that there are countries to which she would like to take her
children while the family is in the White House.
Enough of exploiting the
top position! Enough of
arrogance! The WH tel no. is (202)
456-1111 or 1414. No use to
complain to ourselves; get the message out.
I
do!
