I'll let VC answer for how that makes those in harm's way feel about the current Administration...I'm going to guess they aren't all that thrilled about it.
Look, this is one small incident that's currently being politicised because it happened so close to an election. If having an embassy or a consulate attacked makes you weak on national security then how do you explain the huge spike in embassy/consulate attacks/US diplomatic fatalities during the Reagan/Bush the Lesser presidencies? I could post a graph here but I'm sure you'll look the facts up for yourself.

Also, too. Would there have been more protection at the Benghazi consulate if the GOP house committee hadn't slashed the funding they give the state department for diplomatic protection?
