re: #190 Achilles Tang

The two main fails by Obama that I heard:

He did the typical political sidestep on Benghazi. He didn’t answer the question at all. Had there been requests for additional security and where they denied by whom? If they screwed up he could have said yes, but that his record on killing terrorists was stellar.

House Republicans cut the administration’s request for embassy security funding by $128 million in fiscal 2011 and $331 million in fiscal 2012. (Negotiations with the Democrat-controlled Senate restored about $88 million of the administration’s request.) Last year, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warned that Republicans’ proposed cuts to her department would be “detrimental to America’s national security” — a charge Republicans rejected.
