If you really want to have an honest, unbiased discussion...here's a fact check by CNN from after the VP debate.

1) there were requests for additional security made and denied. What is not known is who denied the requests, how far it went.
2) the alleged cuts by Republicans...paltry and likely had very, very little impact in undermining the security in Benghazi.
The admin wanted 2.64 billion and the final bill passed gave 2.37 billion. 270 mil less than requested. Again, not enough to cause the problems with security in Benghazi.
I don't blame Obama for the attacks. However, I do have a right to criticize him for going campaigning while this was going on. While the situation was still fluid and protests were still going on, his campaign and re-election meant more to him. Then his admin continued the disputed story that it was the result of a youtube video. And Obama couldn't bring himself to acknowledge it was even a terrorist incident until weeks later.
Had this been W...we know full well you'd be going off against W. Yet again, you give Obama a pass and look to blame the Republicans.
