Reason: Three Reasons Why Obama Lied About The Benghazi Terrorist Attack

Let me just emphasize Reason One with my own statement of it:

Obama wishes to convince people that the attack was entirely unpredictable and flowed from a Black Swan event, the YouTube video. If this was an entirely unforeseeable event, then he can maybe be forgiven for having no greater security in the consulate than door-locks.

On the other hand, if this was a very predictable event -- such as the date being September 11th, right there on the day planner, printed up years ago and regularly scheduled every late summer -- then his bumbling is inexcusable.

It's not so complicated. He can either claim "Unforeseeable events were not foreseen" or he can claim "No one in my administration owns, leases, or has access to, a calender."

He's going with the first one.
