Benghazi’s Smoking Gun? Only President Can Give ‘Cross-Border Authority.’ Looks to us that no matter how the Obama administration spins this, the buck stops at the desk in the Oval Office that Obama likes to put his feet on. Perhaps they should put Harry Truman’s ‘the buck stops here’ sign back as a reminder to Dear Leader.

Embassies and consulates have always been Executive Branch stuff, no getting around it. Unless he gives Hillary cart blanche and I think he's just too damned narcissistic and arrogant to let that happen, (and OBTW he'd be really stupid if he did), he's had his fingerprints all over this from the beginning. Fast and Furious with Holder and Arab Spring with Hillary. He's at the top of the pyramid of power in the Executive Branch, he's the guy in charge, he's the guy who must inevitably take responsibility and blame for everything his own personal department does and doesn't do. It's really no more difficult than that!
Chairman O looked at the attack and declined to act. I am sure he determined these folks had to be sacrificed to uphold his political image and democrat party integrity. Just good politics, right O? Too bad for him this is not the USSR or North Korea where such fine communist thinking is appreciated.
Obama is the very type that would slink off into the dark when his original plan to orchestrate a kidnapping/rescue went awry, just like a bratty kid who breaks his mother's prized vase would sneak off and plead ignorance later upon being questioned. Thing is, he hasn't even been questioned yet.

a parable.
:D
The buck stops here.
Hell, if Obumma and company think you have a buck, they will either tax it away from you, or just strong strong arm you and take it for his campaign.
We all know he couldn't or wouldn't give the son of a bitching order. Guess the wookie and the ball buster (Jarret) wouldn't let him have his balls and back bone.
These stories need to keep coming until this time next week. That way if this bastard wins on Tuesday he can sleather off the hook for letting four Americans die and having sovereign US Soil attacked again on Sept. 11th.
Thing is, this pres thinks/says that the buck stops with "you".
