Why?… probably because he didn’t.

Important to remember two points:   #1)  The attack happened at 3:40 pm Washington DC time on 9/11 and lasted til around Midnight DC time.   AND #2)  The Tactical Operations Command officer was in immediate contact with Washington DC, “in real time”.

So Chris Wallace is asking about the following day, on Wednesday 9/12.   Did President Obama meet with Security Council, or National Security and discuss attack?

Q. Yes, the president made a statement and then he went to a fundraiser in Nevada. Question: Before he went to the fundraiser in Nevada, did he meet with his National Security Council to try to sort out the shifting stories. Because State says they never said it was a spontaneous demonstration; Intel, you are quite right, did. Did he meet with the National Security Council before he went campaigning in Nevada?

A. Chris, I assure you that the president was in contact with all those who had information and responsibility in the national security chain about this incident.

In other words, “NO”… Not only didn’t President Obama engage himself during the event, and went to bed that night not knowing what was going on, but the following day he headed off to “fundraise” without assembling a debriefing with National Security.

He blew it off.
