With a few, but still too few, exceptions, FOX News and non-FOX News media alike, along with politicians from both the Right and Left are slowly allowing Benghazi-gate to slip from the core immediate issue into a discussion about whether or not the Obama administration responsibly safeguarded the consulate. A just assessment of that will take some time and to the extent that Democrats use that debate to charge that the issue has been politicized, they are correct to say so. (Even though to say so is, cynically, part of their larger plan to obfuscate and/or change the subject.)
There will be plenty of time for the rest later, but at this point the central question is and must remain: Why did the administration perpetrate initially and then perpetuate for weeks thereafter the falsehood that what happened in Libya was chiefly a consequence of a spasm of popular protest that turned violent over a purportedly anti-Islamic film? Learn the answer to that question and the remaining questions will for the most part answer themselves.

This is the question of the day--watch Obama use the hurricane to reemerge later in the week as the president of all the people, dumping his earlier divisive rhetoric of envy. He'll talk about common citizenship, etc.
