Scholar took fall for Obama

I just cannot imagine a Rhodes scholar graduate being talked into taking the fall for Obama, regarding the Benghazi Embassy incident. It was murder!

The order to stand down had to have been given by Obama. The White House knew within minutes what was transpiring at the Benghazi Embassy. Even the Navy Seals were ordered to stand down. They disobeyed the order and went to assist the ambassador and many others. They held off the enemy for six or seven hours and saved many lives before losing their own lives in this fiasco. This is not America's way of protecting its own. After many calls for help, the ambassador, Navy Seals and a friend were killed, needlessly.

In the meantime, I presume there was a big pow-wow at the White House as the incident could have lost the election for Obama. They needed a plan. A bogus video and its use to fray off criticism. Ah, a woman! Yes, a woman of color would do the trick and Susan Rice, selected by Obama, would cast-off the naysayers. No one would say anything about a woman and a woman of color!

Susan Rice was used and duped by Obama into taking the fall for the Benghazi incident and the phony video story. This eventually ruined her chances to be considered for Secretary of State.

A brilliant move, Mr. President. It worked for you, but not for Susan Rice.
