Failed
Hi I wonder if "failed" in this context has it regular meaning?
In his State of the Union address, President Barack Obama failed to mention the late Ambassador Christopher Stevens and the three other Americans who died on Sep. 11, 2012 in the terror attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi.

It simply means that he did not mention them, but its use indicates that the writer thinks they should have been mentioned.
