Stuff I heard on tv

A lot of commentators were/are saying that Clinton is lessoning the heat on Obama by taking responsibility for the Benghazi killings and ensuring confusion, making it sound rather noble.

Some might prefer she had said:

"I AM to blame, because I AM responsible for the State Department. The President placed his trust in me."

She didn't have to say that she "took" responsibility when it was hers.

Just a matter of semantics . . .

Personally I feel he was not responsible at all. He wasn't getting facts (unless the facts were top-secret) so when he said "acts of terrorism," he was guessing, and it turns out he was right...he is so cool....
