Exactly. I bet you that people are unaware that embassy/consulate attacks in fact decreased in Obama’s presidency. What made Benghazi particularly significant of course was Stevens’ death but he definitely did know the risks involved.

Most people are unaware that after Benghazi, Obama instituted a rapid reaction force to be based out of Spain to respond to future incidents of this nature. There was no such force available before then.

Or that the GOP sought to reduce spending on safety measures at diplomatic facilities (budget cut).

And that’s despite the dozens of attacks on diplomatic facilities through the decades, including the list identified above on US diplomatic facilities during Bush’s term in office.
