Time for Prez Obama and all Dems to blow Graham out of the water!

This is one of the most outrageous and slanderous things I've heard an elected representative say in a long time. Who is responsible for terrorist acts? The terrorists are ultimately responsible for terrorist acts.

Prez Obama and all Democrats need to come down on Lindsey Graham like a ton of bricks for this. By the time we're done, Graham ought to be politically destroyed.

Sen. Graham Responds To Obama: I Hold You ‘Ultimately Responsible’ For Benghazi

Sen. Lindsey Graham released the following statement in response to President Obama's press conference comments on Republican criticism of U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice:


“Mr. President, don’t think for one minute I don’t hold you ultimately responsible for Benghazi. I think you failed as Commander in Chief before, during, and after the attack.

“We owe it to the American people and the victims of this attack to have full, fair hearings and accountability be assigned where appropriate. Given what I know now, I have no intention of promoting anyone who is up to their eyeballs in the Benghazi debacle.”

This is what then Republican SOS Condoleezza Rice told the American people!

Republicans are incredibly delusional and the height of hypocrisy!

Obama makes Graham publicly admit his prejudice, disqualifying him from any serious role in a fact-finding hearing.

On one hand he says "we owe it to the American people and the victims of this attack to have full, fair hearings and accountability be assigned where appropriate" and yet on the other is ready without "full, fair hearings" to lay the blame at the Presidents feet.

Fuck that pure political hot air.
