Original title: 'If four Americans get killed, it's not OPTIMAL': Obama's extraordinary response to Comedy Central question about shifting story after Benghazi attack
----------------------------
President Barack Obama, during an interview to be shown on Comedy Central, has responded to a question about his administration's confused communication after the Benghazi attack, by saying: 'If four Americans get killed, it’s not optimal.'
Obama was speaking to Jon Stewart of The Daily Show for a programme to be broadcast tonight.
Stewart, a liberal whose young audience is full of potential voters prized by the Obama campaign, asked the president about his handling of the aftermath of the Benghazi attack.
Ambassador Chris Stevens, diplomat Sean Smith and security men and former U.S. Navy SEALs Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods were killed by terrorists on the 11th anniversary of 9/11 - an attack that the White House initially blamed on a spontaneous protest about an anti-Islam movie made in California.

He was just trying to demonstrate he knows ‘big words’. But apparently doesn’t.
Greta’s panel is terrible. They’re all trying to justify this comment, and compare it to something Romney said. Shill alert!
Bump in the road
Transcript anyone? Where’s Candy when you need her?
That dude talking about the improving economy “undercutting” the Romney surge. LMAO! I haven’t noticed any undercutting.
I guess words like tragic, horrific etc are not in Barry’s vocabulary.
In other words,
"Four Americans Dead is a Scandal (Save Me, Candy!), but a million dead Americans from an Iranian nuke is a good start." /Obama channels Stalin and Che>
it doesn’t matter at this point what any pundit says... the american people hear this and it gets added to the mix.
this will play horribly with Joe Sixpack..
he’s finished.
He has a point, it IS pretty darn unoptimal. Sort of a theme for the last four years.
I don’t watch Stewart or Colbert . . . so did this actually air tonight or did they pull it to help O since this was done at the taping?
Today Show Ann Currey argues with Libyan president, insisting Obama has not called this a terrorist attack.
Politico states Obama has not called it an act of terror.
Trav, when you see pix like that of the little pansy, don’t you just want to give him a wedgie?
I know I do. A wedgie and some noogies and a kick in the nurtz.
Election Day is going to wipe that smirk right off the evil a@@hat’s face!
Comedy Central web sit says the clip will be available at 10 central. It’s 10:30 and still not available.
Stewart must be beside himself with regret. From what I’ve heard Stewart said it first and Barry stupidly parroted it back.
But I want to watch the clip to make sure.
