The program Face the Nation interviewed Senator Lindsey Graham this morning about withholding the nomination for the CIA directorship from John Brennan, and the confirmation as secretary of defense of Chuck Hagel until more information is provided about what happened at Benhazi.
Below are quotes from the video (posted above) on Graham's position:
I don’t think we should allow [John] Brennan to go forward for the CIA directorship, [Chuck] Hagel to be confirmed as secretary of defense, until the White House gives us an accounting. Did the president ever pick up the phone and call anyone in the Libyan government to help these folks? What did the president do?He continues:
I don’t know what the president did that evening. I don’t know if he ever called anyone. This was incredibly mismanaged. And what we know now — this seems to be a very disengaged president. What did he do that night?
This was incredibly mismanaged. What we know now seems to be a very disengaged president.And
This is complete system failure and I’m going to get to the bottom of it.
The president was just disengaged and the Department of Defense never launched one airplane to help these folks for seven-and-a-half hours. This is complete system failure, and I’m going to get to the bottom of it.

The above image is of President Barack Obama at a Press Briefing in the White House on Tuesday, Feb. 5, 2013. He looks as though he hasn't had a full-night's sleep, with red, blood-shot eyes and blue, heavy lids. I wonder what is keeping him up? The Narcissist/Revolutionary-in-Chief is probably more running scared than dwelling on any guilt.
