Bill Clinton was the same way (think Reno and Waco). It's poetic justice that Hillary Clinton is now taking the fall. But more importantly, it demonstrates incompentence and/or a lack of leadership and character.
 
Baloney! If the Prez was reading his daily intel reports instead of delegating it away like he does with everything else, he would have known what was going on. True that the State Dept would have seen the requests for more security but the buck did not stop at Hillary. She's taking the fall (Not really since this will all go away anyway) but it is Obama that would have had the authority to act on the intel, NOT Hillary!!



Tim-
 
Well I expect Obama to delegate a lot of authority to Clinton, but apparently this problem was brewing for a while, and should have showed up on Obama's radar. When things are normal you wouldn't expect Obama to know much of what's going on at a specifica embassy/consulate. But that wasn't the case here. There are two sources that should have warned Obama, the Intelligence community and the State Dept. Does anyone believe that there was a 2 for 2 failure to bring this up? They should have had more security at least since Khadaffi went down.
 
When is Hillary resigning? If you accept the blame isn't there a price to be paid? Hasn't she admitted her incompetence?
