DonDiego's Signature Quote

On a different thread Tutontow has questioned DonDiego's signature quote. DonDiego offers an explanation as to its importance, especially in consideration of Ms. Clinton as an American Presidential Candidate.

From elsewhere on LVA:

[n.b. DonDiego has edited Tutontow's original post significantly to address the meat of the matter.-DD]

DonDiego suggest this post would be more appropriate in a thread addressing Benghazi or Ms. Clinton. [And so it is now here.-DD]

The importance of Ms Clinton's answer is the absolutely false choice she presented before suggesting it did not make a difference. The Benghazi attack was not caused by reaction to a protest elsewhere which no one had even noticed. Secretary Clinton knew this at the time of her testimony. It was not "guys out for a walk one night who decided that they'd go kill some Americans". Secretary Clinton knew this at the time of her testimony.
Were the Benghazi attack the result of a distant protest noticed by the Islamists in Libya or just a random killing by joyriding Libyan youth, Ms Clinton would claim that her State Department could not be held accountable for such unforeseeable carnage. And so she did.
In reality the attack was a well-planned assault upon an embassy which was woefully insecure and ill-defended. And the responsibility for the security of American embassies abroad belongs to the the Secretary of State.

DonDiego got precious little out of his active duty with the US Navy, . . . although access to USAA insurance and financial functions has been a lifelong plus, . . . but, DonDiego digresses. DonDiego learned that "Authority can be delegated, . . . but Responsibility cannot be delegated." This is why a commander of a Naval vessel can loose his command and hopes of advancement, because of a significant error of anyone under his command.
Hillary has never lived by such a code; she is never responsible for anything that goes wrong under her "leadership". There is no reason to expect this would change if she were elevated, as is her destiny, to the Presidency.

Yep, your cherry picking.

Out of 94 lines of text you pick one and use it totally out of context.

For the record I would never vote for her.

Anyone remember "You didn't build that?" How'd that work our for the Republicans?

She'll tell us after she's elected?! Kinda reminds me of when Ms Pelosi told us that it had to be voted it into law in order for us to know what the law was. Hmm! In the words of Uncle Buck..."Bug, gnat. Isn't there a resemblance there? I think so."

DonDiego has done his best to place the quote in context in the initial post of this thread.

Umm, . . . DonDiego might've preferred to employ all 94 lines, but it jes' wouldn't fit on his signature line.

DonDiego commends Tutontow for his voting skills.

Since it became a political meme that the Republicans used and continue to use to fundraise millions of dollars from riled up business owners I'd say it worked out well for the Republicans. I imagine 'what difference does it make' will be used to similar effect. That alone won't win them an election but every million helps when it comes to campaign treasuries.
