Leadership???

After reading about Obama's leadership during Benghazi, an interesting point was brought to my attention from this article. Was The President very concerned with the events that took place last September? The main point of the passage is that the two top Defense Department leaders testified that they only had one conversation with Obama during the attack on September 11th, and Senator Lindsey Graham is fighting to hold President Obama "accountable". After questioning the two department heads, they claimed that The President was concerned about American lives despite his lack of contact, and was "well-informed" about the situation. The article states that Panetta and Dempsey (the Defense Department leaders) "claimed Thursday that the military could not have done more to save American lives that night, claiming that the difficulty in dispatching assets to the scene was "a problem of distance and time."
However, Panetta went on to say that the Pentagon, "spared no effort... to save American Lives."
