Panetta: Obama Absent Night of Benghazi

Hillary Clinton called it.
I wonder what condition the country would be in now if Hillary Clinton had been elected President instead of Barrack Obama.
During the Bill Clinton era many of my friends and family prospered in business and I was pretty satisfied with how the country was being run. I lost some respect for Bill Clinton when he was caught philandering with interns but that did not change my perception that the country and foreign policy was being run fairly competently.
I didn't agree with everything though. I thought Clinton made a huge mistake when he agreed to supply cash, fuel and food aid to North Korea in exchange for them curtailing their nuclear activity. I wasn't real happy with how the Bosnian/Serb conflict was managed. Yet I thought he did a good job and I was very satisfied with his performance on the deficit and budgets. I wonder if Hillary would have put in a similar performance.
Bill Clinton had two unique things going for him. One was the Internet boom that propelled his 2nd term. The other was a Republican Congress and a decision by Bill to work with them.
The situation with the country is sooooo different today that I doubt either Bill or Hillary could do what Bill did in the late 90's. However, I don't think Hill would have pursued all the stupid ideological and vengeful tack that Obama is trademarked for the last four years and the next four.
Obama is uniquely unqualified to be President.
You're right. The mid-late 90's were the epicenter of the credit bubble as it morphed into a soaring and unsustainable stock market that fueled a great deal of the expansion in jobs (and unfortunately the growth of government at all levels). Even though I despised Clinton by the end of his term, he's by far the best of the recent bunch (both as an intellectual and as a politician).
Regardless of who is occupying the WH, the vast majority of their "legacy" is entirely dependant upon the machinations of the Fed and how loose or tight they are with monetary policy. I'm sure it's not a popular opinion, but the facts speak for themselves over the past century.

You've spent years here posting stupid one-line snipes that are unclever, non-analytical and devoid of humor. Most folks here question your sobriety and they certainly don't associate you with clear and rational thoughts.
Ever consider just fucking off to some other site? All you've accomplished here is cementing the notion that you are a brainless eurotrash twit.
This has to make one wonder, what is in it for the press to do nothing? What exactly would happen if the news media blasted and held accountable situations like this? The WH going to shut down the media? I don't know, just saying.
Is the press afraid to make enemies? Is the press under the threat of being labeled a terrorist org? Who told the press to play nice?
Does it really matter if Obama was there or not? Obama is incompetent and the people who surround him are incompetent.
I remember Obama having a party at the White House and his people were so incompetent they couldn't even handle the tough job of managing an invitation list. That should give you a baseline for determining the caliber of people Obama has working for him.
We know what happened at Benghazi.
We know that before the attack there were requests for additional security that went unanswered even though the Obama regime knew alqueda was operating in the area.
We know that during the attack Obama did nothing to try to provide help.
We know that after the attack the Obama regime went out and lied about what happened.
We know that the Obama regime has stonewalled ever since.
We know that not a single person in the regime has been held accountable.
We know that NOT A SINGLE ATTACKER HAS BEEN HELD ACCOUNTABLE.
The repubs can bring this up all they want but nobody cares. If people have to choose between following stories like this or keeping up with the Kardashians we know what people are going to choose. Its not even close.
