Obama’s Father’s Day Freudian Slip

Freedom Outpost

If anyone was wondering how Obama views himself as president, this one  little statement issued as he reflected on Father’s Day would sum it up  nicely.  Obama stated “being a dad ‘the most important job many of us will ever  have’ and there was no substitute for being in a child’s life.  He went on to  give a summation of his life without a father, what he tries to accomplish for  his family and then sums up how he will recall his life.

Below is from my FNC colleague Justin Fishel:

Subject: Fox First: General Carter Ham to testify on Benghazi for first time next week

Fox News has learned that the House Armed Services Committee will hold a classified briefing next Weds June 26 at 9:00 on Benghazi.

Briefers will include:

Gen. Carter Ham (ret.) He was head of AFRICOM during Benghazi attack.

LTC Gibson

RADM Brian Losey – Special Operations Command Africa

This is being coordinated by the Oversight and Investigations subcommittee of the HASC. It will be closed door but will be the first time Ham has been questioned by Congress about his oversight of military assets that were available and why they weren’t sent to Benghazi last Sept 11/12. Ham was in the Pentagon at the time and oversaw the military response.

LTC Gibson is the Army Lieutenant Colonel who Greg Hicks said was told to stand down with his 3 other Special Forces when they wanted to go to Benghazi on the morning of Sept 12. We have not heard from him or Admiral Loissy, who was the head of Special Ops in Africa. He was in Europe coordinating from his base in Germany. He can speak to where the Special operations teams or CIF (Commander’s in extremis force) was based and when it was told to deploy and why it wasn’t sent to Libya.

Again this will be closed door.
