Burlington Iowa Letters to Falcon West Burlington

First Lady Should Win Oscar

Falcon:

It seems funny that the first lady would present the award for best picture when it was under similar circumstances to the story line of the movie where her husband failed miserably to rescue the staff over in Benghazi.  Obama vanished from his staff for eight hours during this critical period of attack in Benghazi.  He just told his staff to handle it and then vanished to a location unknown to the staff or anyone else.

Could be he thought he was above the problem of embassy staff being murdered by terrorists over in Benghazi even though they had been requesting more protection for weeks prior to the attack.  On top of the attack the White House lied about who, what and why it happened blaming it on some movie only about 300 people had seen worldwide prior to the attack.

Naturally the Secretary of State stalled as long as possible before trying to explain what had been going on before congress.  After two months of stalling she showed up and it was well known her answers had been studied and memorized long before she showed up and no one still really knows the who, what or why it happened and why the administration failed at shoring up the protection in Benghazi.

But the White House never admitting to failure sends the First Lady via television to the Oscars to award an Oscar for best picture to a movie that represents a mirror image of one of the biggest failures of said White House under Obama.  This president just hasn’t any shame when it comes to his mistakes.
