When I received your last Email to me today, I wanted to donate, but the http was still http, not the secure https.
Why doesn’t Heritage use a secure site that I will have to put my credit card information on? Please respond.

I think the Heritage Foundation is up to its usual lying and disinformation games, to achieve what they want at the expense of the addled and deceived voters. Proud of yourselves?

William H. McMillen - October 11, 2012

The only consistent policies in this administration are coverups. denials and lies.

Donald DaCosta - October 11, 2012

Absolutely, without question. Nov. 6 2012 is fast approaching. Obama desperately needs the narrative that he killed Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda is no longer a threat, to be the dominant theme supporting his reputation as an “effective foreign policy President.” The reality in Benghazi flies in the face of that narrative and he and his minions will do their best to maintain their preferred fantasy.

John C - October 11, 2012

Yes, this was without doubt a cover-up. As in the Fort Hood case, this administration seems to be hell-bent on avoiding the use of the term, “terrorism”. Why this is the case I would not hazard a guess, given the number of bad actors who have been taken out since President Obama took office. The first priority should be to protect our own people, especially on our own soil, whether in the “homeland” or on embassy grounds.

Bobbie Wright - October 11, 2012

Yes, I definitely believe the admin has tried to cover up the true facts on the Libyan incident. I also believe the same about Fast & Furious. The definition of Treason is “betrayal of trust”. Obama’s admin has definitely betrayed the trust of the American people in these two scandals! Our most valuable asset, American human life, was taken in both incidents. And now, we are also faced with the leaking of classified info that caused the death of a Navy Seal in the Bin Laden slaying! The admin is is NOT telling the mother of the young man what she deserves to know. This too is Blatant Treason. In addition, a death has occurred in Yemen which is also turning out to be very questionable. When is this going to STOP?

Richard Frey - October 11, 2012

I believe Bengazigate is just as bad as Watergate plus 4 lives were lost.

Carol Denison - October 11, 2012

I do believe the administration tried to cover up the truth about what really happened. It is too bad that innocent people must lose their lives because of Obama’s lies for political advantage. What is wrong with the Liberal Media – Do they think Obama cares about anyone but himself?

RJ - October 11, 2012

No doubt. This cover up is far worse than Watergate, and the MSM ignored it for as long as they could. Thanks to those who spoke out early. The implications of the likely extent of this cover up is stunning to consider.
The bias in the media is one of the greatest threats to our liberty, next to the threat of the present administration. Thanks to Heritage for their good work. We must expose the threats we face.

Linda Lawandus - October 11, 2012

I believe that somebody needs to be held accountable for the four deaths in our Benghazi Consulate on 9/11 and after watching the Congressional hearing on C-span for all four hours, I believe that after repeated requests for more security and being denied it that, this story needs to go viral until everyone involved in what appears to me to be a cover-up steps down from their positions in this administration immediately.

Dana Caldwell - October 11, 2012

Of course this is a cover-up without question. This administration assumes the American people are so gullible that we will believe everything they feed us. They try to hide everything that they do. I am sick of their lies and cheating ways. The sooner they are replaced, the better off this nation will be.

Elsie E Connelly - October 11, 2012

Of course they are in spin mode, the administration is one of the most corrupt and incompetent I have ever seen, and I can remember FDR. Every single one of them should be brought up on charges of treason and endangerment of staff. Hillary is no angel she knew what was going on. And she thinks she has a chance in 2016, no way, no how.

Ruth Diefendorf - October 11, 2012

Bumps in the road? Four dead in Benghazi, one dead in Yemen and all this President can keep saying is “Bin Laden is dead and Al Qaeda is neutral.” What, pray tell, more has to happen before this guy admits he has no idea what is happening in the world let alone here in the U.S. The most incompetent, corrupt administration we have seen in many, many years and NO ONE has yet to step up and challenge this arrogant, self proclaimed leader. America, take your heads out of the sand and turn the tide in 27 days!

Wade Padgett - October 11, 2012

Yep. They absolutely did from where I sit. This administration has so many lies and misinformation in play it boggles the mind. It’s no wonder they are disfunctional. unfortunately, it is less and less astounding to me how much lying goes on in government but this administration is turning it into a way of life.

Jim Johnson - October 11, 2012

Yes, this actually is a coverup. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that it is a political ploy. The question in my mind is why obama and his crew refuse to even once use the term “radical muslim” as the culprit in any catastrophe, including the Ft Hood shooting deaths. When is someone in Congress going to get the guts to press for a charge of Treason be brought against obama?

Joe Schooff - October 11, 2012

Nothing new.These marxists in charge of our country lie over and over because Republican’s don’t hold them accountable. If Romney would have stayed on this from the start,he would be 20 points ahead. A golden opportunity and maybe election LOST. Our Country goes down because of Republican in-action. they’ve been doing this for decades.

Var St. Jeor - October 11, 2012

Well, everything the State Department is currently saying about these events indicate that the Obama Administration lied. According to the State Dept., it was planned, it occurred purposefully on 9/11, it was not “the movie,” all knew this early on, and the Ambassador knew the danger was coming, having pleaded for extra protection – which was denied to them by the State Dept., likely under orders from the oval office. If I understand correctly, most of the State Dept. is liberal and they seem to be running away from Obama on this issue like he is poisoned fruit. I think the administration lied about these events, over, and over, and over…

Fedup - October 11, 2012

Nobody died in Watergate and it ended a Presidency because of the cover-up. The gross negligence of the State Department in denying requested security for our people in Lybia is MORE egregious than Watergate. This President should be run out of town on a rail along with Hillary Clinton!

Ann H Tearle - October 11, 2012

Because obama said “the war on terror is over”….never made it so. Man-crime? Work-place violence? Give me a break. TERRORISM. Enough with the ‘word-play’–CALL IT WHAT IT IS. Anyone in their right mind knew what it was right away. Cover-up? Incompetence? Protecting election efforts? All 3? Obama would have been better off being straight with the American people–this admin just continues to look foolish, and, now, more dangerous to the safety of the US. After the 1st debate–Obama said he thought Mitt Romney owed the American people the truth. REALLY, How ’bout YOU, Mr Obama, how ’bout you………..?

Larry Dusseau - October 11, 2012

No one died during the Watergate break in and a President resigned! Not a chance that Obama will do the right thing!

Bruce M Harmon - October 11, 2012

This is far worse than Watergate during the Nixon Administration. An ambassador and three Americans died.

Suzanne Arbour - October 11, 2012

there is no doubt in my mind that the administration tried to cover up the truth about what happened.

Steven Rankens - October 11, 2012

Well it’s either a cover up or incompetence. I agree that Clinton, Rice, Carney should all be hauled into the congressional chambers and made to testify under oath as to who was told what and by whom. We all know it was a terrorist attack, but this administration blames and lies to just about everything. For heavens sake, take some responsibility. This President is going to get a lot more innocent people killed because he is blinded by his ideology, look what has been going on in Syria which is now spilling over into Turkey. A weak America domestically and abroad will have dire results for all of us. AMERICA DO WHAT YOU NEED TO DO – VOTE FOR ROMNEY / RYAN, this President is trying to carbon copy our country into Europe. He does not care about our citizens, capitalism, free markets, wealth creation, private rights. HE WANTS THE US TO BE A DEPENDANCY NATION FROM THE GOVERNMENT. “Loss of Freedom is only one generation away”. -Ronald Reagan VOTE – VOTE – VOTE – VOTE – REPUBLICAN !

Ellen Elmore - October 11, 2012

Of course the administration tried to cover up the truth. They have been doing this for four years with help from the liberal mainstream media. The truth is inconvenient for Obama because he knows it could hurt his chances for re-election.

marvin E. Fox - October 11, 2012

That the Obama Adm. actions about the Libya, Benghazi Embassy murders looks like a cover up is obvious. Claiming the anti Muslim movie caused a Middle East riot that killed an American Ambassador and three others on 9/11/12 was apparently Egyptian government propaganda. The Obama Administration knew it was phony information within one day, but they kept broadcasting it for several days. Why repeat known enemy propaganda? Why indeed! Mind boggling!
Marvin E. Fox

Tom Shaffrey - October 11, 2012

Yes.

Bettie B. Lorino - October 11, 2012

Obama, Stephanie Cutter and Carney make Watergate a picnic in the park. These people tell falsehoods as casually as people take showers. Why would I believe one word that any of them says?

Jack Leishear - October 11, 2012

Of course! This is not the first cover up, or the 1st lie to come out of this administration. Anyone who doesn’t understand that has been living under a rock the past four years.

Jim - October 11, 2012

Obama, Hillary Clinton and Amb. Rice along with Axelrod and Cutter in my opinion are responsible for all the deaths in Bengahzi. They without any doubt attempted to cover up this terrorist attack. If anyone doubts the ability of those named above you must be blind and deaf. These are people that want to destroy America. Aiding and abetting the terrorists is in my opinion traderous behavior and all should be brought before Issa’s committee and charged accordingly.
Shame on us if we give Obama 4 more years.
Jim Brown

Frank Grundman - October 11, 2012

Yes, a criminal cover-up within the State Department and White House for establishing and enforcing policies requiring a showing of death or grievous bodily harm before protective personnel would be sent to aid those threatened in Benghazi. Under the circumstances, denying repeated calls for reinforcements constitutes negligent homicide.

Rodney Galles - October 11, 2012

Not only did they try to cover up, a reflexive action on the part of Obama, but continue to circle their wagons around their lies and tout the video lie in the ads. They are unconscionable liars who do not care about truth except where it is inconvenient. Then they attack the messenger with a vengeance of a rabid dog.

Gail Daley - October 11, 2012

ABSOLUTELY, nothing must get in the way of this administrations goals, OUR PEOPLE ARE NOT AND NEVER WILL BE BUMPS IN THE ROAD!!!

ufosrreal - October 11, 2012

There was a cover-up mainly to hide incompetence. The admin probably thought that armed security wasn’t necessary and would be provocative. After all the admin had made nice with the Islamists, aided their cause, and were fellow travelers. They completely failed to recognize that their actions (and explanations) show(ed) weakness to Islamists, and the terrorists exploited it. It was natural for the admin to lie about it afterwards, after all lying is SOP and second nature to democrats.

Nels E. Boe - October 11, 2012

Yes, it is quite obvious of Obama’s cover u p. as he has been bragging he eliminated terrorism. Obama’s in-ability to lead in a crisis is quite evident. One example: a few days after the murders in Libya. Obama was on View. A true leader would have been glued to his desk and searching for reasons why this happened. He only said while on the TV show “view” We don’t have all the answers yet.” If he really was working on this problem he would have said a whole more while on that View show. I think he was lying. I think he was not working on the problem.

Jim Keller - October 12, 2012

Another disingenuous cover up like many others Obama and the Administration has done in being dishonest with the American people. I do not see why any Military or any voter would trust Obama and his Administration with any policy domestic or foreign.

Teresa - October 12, 2012

Absolutely!! When you have a fox (Muslim Brotherhood) in the henhouse whispering lies, You will use these distractions to detere America from the truth; for your own agenda. What about the protests in Ciarro days before the attack to free some terrorist?? Intimidation is happening. Using the video was one agenda to stiffle America’s freedom of speech.

Gary Moog - October 12, 2012

The administration needs the american people to believe that Al Qaeda died with Bin Laden. The Death of our ambasador was a well planned attack by the very terrorist organization Obama has been taking credit for eliminating and the truth would hinder his reelection. To protect his reelection he was willing to blame the attack on an amature film maker and have him thrown in jail. We need to remember this on November 6 and vote him and his team out of office while we still have a country left we caqn be proud of

Mike Stansbruy - October 12, 2012

We have been lied to time and again by this administration and I am wondering when we will finally have enough.What is happening now makes Watergate pale to insignificance it cost a president his job please God come Nov.6 it will have the same effect on Pres.Obama.

Robert Calabro - October 12, 2012

Ambassador Rice’s explanation was an insult to our intelligence. This another example of our government’s contempt for we the people. The acting President of Libya stated that this was a premeditated attack. Whoever participated in the governments coverup should be terminated! There should be a review of security at all our embassies throuhout the world. This administration has forgot that we are at war with the terrorists. Regards Robert Calabro.

Randy Miller - October 12, 2012

ter espousing the death of Al Queda since the killing of Bin Laden the administration can ill afford a terrosit action against the U.S. so the continue to deflect and obfuscate wt happened in Libya as nothing more than a protest.

e. r. edmondson - October 12, 2012

YES!!!!!

Look at Joe Biden in the debate last night. He really stepped into it because the people called to the Hill just testified under oath they asked for help in Lybia and didn’t get it.

Cheryl - October 12, 2012

YES THEY DID! And, guess what, they still are and will continue to distort and mislead and confuse the issue because of the political expediency issue. They ONLY say and do what will make the garbage smell like a rose for them and their administration, They will sacrifice anyone, either physically or politically to accomplish their agenda…and then laugh and giggle their way through accusations! I am appaulled by this administrations tactics! And, all you other Americans out there…how can you call yourself an American and not be equally outraged!

Robert Desrosiers - October 12, 2012

VP Biden was certainly not the “Adult in the room” last night. I felt embarrassed that he is our second in command. He reminded me of golfing with a cranky old guy who never shuts up, gives unwanted instructions to his team mates on every shot and then laughs loudly when anyone in the foursome makes a bad shot! Then after the game is over, back in the clubhouse he announces to everyone loudly that unfortunately his team could have have won the match if his teamates hadn’t missed so many easy puts!

Bayard W Smith - October 12, 2012

No doubt that our administration’s attempts to mislead and coverup were paramount for 7-10 days after our consul and two seals were killed. The culprits for the continued untruths need to be put under oath and made to tell the truth; not that they most likely would.

paddy o - October 12, 2012

To me it is obvious, the supposed ” Film” was pulled
from the shelf to cover up a terrorist attack. That was exposed for for what it was. Now they have to cover up the cover up!

Max Cook - October 12, 2012

10-12-2012
When is our conservative news media going to bring out the truth of our Presidents fundamental beliefs?
Although Obama was born in America, he does not see himself as an American, rather he sees himself as a citizen of the world. He was brought up for the most part in Asia and North Africa, by a mother who was an anti-American communist.
His mentors and friends from age ten on, (that being the age he was when he returned to America), have been anything but pro-American. Even his mother’s father was an American hater and filled young Barry Obama with hate toward his birth country.
Obama grew up taking advantage of his black side at every turn of his education.
When he was of age, he traveled to Kenya and spent time with his relatives there learning about his father. He adopted the ‘Dreams of his father’ for his life in general and in politics in specifics.
Obama Sr. was an anti-colonialist. He hated the British for the colonization of Kenya. That’s why President Obama sent the bust of Winston Churchill back to the British the first day in office.
Obama sees the US as a colonializing Imperial America. His goals include gifting as much money as possible out of the US Treasury to countries that were once colonies of other countries. Hence, much of the money Obama has given away in the “Jobs Act”, went to places outside the USA.
He wants to punish all of America, by forcing fuel prices to $10.00 per gallon or higher, by refusing to allow drilling, by not allowing the building of new refineries, by not granting permits for electric companies, by adding thousands of pages of additional regulations to gas, oil, coal and nuclear development.
Obama wants to remove and destroy 100% of our nuclear bombs, allowing the US to become the world’s target for any aggressor. Obama wants to dismantle our military, which is already barely able to meet our current needs.
So, when is the conservative meda going to begin expressing these concerns to the American public?
READ: Dinesh D’Souza’s book: ‘Obama’s America’

Joe Daigneault - October 12, 2012

No cover up. Stop making this a political issue. The ambassador happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

William M Snedden - October 13, 2012

I think it is a sad day for America when our president thinks more about himself than he does about American lives. He has security people round the clock on his close confidante who knows nothing but advises him badly on many issues. (In the safety of thre USA, BUT does not provide protection for our people in an obviously dangerous part of the world! Two of the men that died were Navy seals BUT they were not part of any security team they just happen to be heroes that were there and helped save 20 other lives by their actions.

Denny Converse - October 13, 2012

What else do you expect from a community organizer, but total incompetence.This is Chicago style politics on display. You bring a knife and we’ll bring a gun to shoot you down. The main street media has been totally worthless and is guilty of the cover up as much is Obama. Absolutely pathetic!

Holly Chapo - October 14, 2012

It most certainly is a coverup. This miserable excuse for a president has proven to be unable to take responsibility for anything – except for giving the order to kill Bin Laden, an order given under duress. The facts are indisputable – we knew the truth within less than 24 hours. The American people have a right to the truth. The victim’s families deserve it. But for his own political and, even more so, his ideological reasons, this “president” can’t label the events what they were. And unequivocally, they were a terrorist attack against a country hated by Al Qaeda and Islamic extremists.
It is time for the people of this country to exercise their constitutional rights and get rid of this “great destroyer” in the words of David Limbaugh.

Charles Rice - October 27, 2012

Does the fact that the President and his entire upper administration lied to the American people in the performance of their official duties constitute a crime? Perhaps not a high crime but perhaps a misdemeanor? Why aren’t the members of the House of Representatives raising cane about this cover up? I truly do not understand what has to happen to wake the nation.
