Benghazi: Obama Begs Off Answering Whether Americans Were Denied Help
ABC ^ | Jake Tapper

Posted on 10/26/2012 6:59:53 PM PDT by TigerClaws

In an interview with a Denver TV reporter Friday, President Obama twice refused to answer questions as to whether the Americans under siege in Benghazi, Libya on September 11, 2012, were denied requests for help, saying he's waiting for the results of investigations before making any conclusions about what went wrong.

After being asked about possible denials of requests for aid, and whether it's fair to tell Americans that what happened is under investigation and won't be released until after the election, the president said, "the election has nothing to do with four brave Americans getting killed and us wanting to find out exactly what happened. These are folks who served under me who I had sent to some very dangerous places. Nobody wants to find out more what happened than I do."

First and only other than FoxNews that I can see. CNN and CBS had nothing whatsoever about Libya on their websites when I checked earlier this evening. I didn’t even bother with NBC.

Did it ever occur to this 'man of genius' reporter to ask Heir Presidente WHAT investigation is he waiting for? Who is heading up that investigation? The people who perpetrated the failure that allowed 4 Americans to be murdered.....

It is simply amazing that the press is so in the bag for their party that they act as they do. Reporters they are not......

Hey Asswipe, No one wants to know what happened in Libya. We already know that thanks to Others even though YOU said you were releasing info as soon as you recieved it.

What America wants to know is why you attempted to cover up a terrorist attack, sent out Jay Carney to Lie to the public and sent out Ambassador Rice to lie on multiple shows and days...AND WHO THE @#$@ refused to go to the aid of AMERICANS under attack...You worthess piece of flem.

I’ve been going channel to channel and looking at the front pages of the newspapers and you would think Libya had not happened.

To think this is the biggest corrupt cover up and lying this country has seen in modern times , worse than water gate and the media ignore this.

Get on FB , social media and demand your local media report this and send mail to CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, NPR, etc can;t be bothered to name them all.

It could never happen before the election and it can’t happen unless we keep Congress and win the Senate. Then, our positions have to have the gut to do it. Unfortunately, most of those jerks are also corrupt.
