This is more of an aside from the post below, but I didn't want to include it there.
In talking with some people at work, I have heard the opinion voiced that we can't yet put the Obama Administration at fault regarding the murder of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans because there is no evidence that directly links Obama to any of this (this also seems to be the general stance of the MSM too).
But we learned on Thursday that Deputy Secretary of State Charlene Lamb -- the person right below Hilary Clinton -- denied extra security to the U. S. post in Benghazi in the months prior to the attack.
So, for now, it doesn't stop with Obama -- it stops right below the Secretary of State. But imagine if this happened during the Bush Administration. We would constantly be hearing about how the "Bush Administration" was at fault.
It seems as though during the Bush Administration, the term administration was thought to include not simply the White House but, as it should, all the cabinet posts and top level officials in all the major departments. But under this administration, it is implied that the person right below the Secretary of State is not within the administration.
Interesting.
