http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/OTUS/2012-presidential-debate-full-transcript-oct-16/story?id=17493848&page=8#.UH7xYmeH18E Obama said the following:
So as soon as we found out that the Benghazi consulate was being overrun, I was on the phone with my national security team and I gave them three instructions. Number one, beef up our security and procedures, not just in Libya, but at every embassy and consulate in the region. Number two, investigate exactly what happened, regardless of where the facts lead us, to make sure folks are held accountable and it doesn't happen again. And number three, we are going to find out who did this and we're going to hunt them down, because one of the things that I've said throughout my presidency is when folks mess with Americans, we go after them.
The attack went on for about 6 hours. It was monitored in real time via audio and video by our government. When was Obama told? It is hard to believe that if he began to monitor the attack as it was happening, that these were the things he was giving as instructions. If he wasn’t told right away, why not? Something smells.

Three worthless commands...after the fact.
Am I missing something, or shouldn’t Obama have immediately sent helicopters and people in to attempt a rescue of the Americans trapped at the embassy?
Aren’t #2 and #3 the same thing?
Number One— too little too late
Number Two— “take your time. We want to do this right..... after everybody has forgotten about it (hopefully)”
Number Three— hit somebody (anybody) with a drone and declare victory.
And nowhere did Obama say he was going to be doing any personal involvement on this. Just let him know how it’s going.
The question was something like, "Is it true your state department had requests before the attack, for more security and that request was refused"?
(something like that)
He talks abt TARP: says we got back every dime used to rescue the financial system, and passed a historic law to end taxpayer-funded Wall Street bailouts for good.
He keeps forgetting that taxpayers are still owed plenty for the govt's billion dollar bailouts of the financial industry.
B/c of sap-happy mtge policies---blessed by "Redistribution Ohaha" and his admin suckups----Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac together owe taxpayers over $140 billion.
I believe NOTHING this man says ... he is a pathological liar. The ‘instructions’ he gave out were probably imaginary ... all in his fantasy world mind.
That was his answer to “who decided to refuse the repeated requests for security, and why?”.
It was utterly non responsive.
I thought the question asked who originally came up with the idea that the cause was the video.
Obama has proven time and again that he is a liar. Everytime he has gotten in front od a crowd he has lied so there is no way I can believe him on this issue.
Obama said”as soon as we found out our embassy WAS BEING overrun” .........
So he knew it was happening WHEN it was happening and yet still went to bed, slept and flew to Las Vegas for a campaign event the next day. Cold!
Once upon a time, in Washington of long, long ago, an enterprising young reporter might want to check out this statement by the president to determine its truthfulness and accuracy.
But that was in a magic time when reporters were actually looking for stories.
It happened at 3:30 in the AFTERNOON. I don’t think he was sleeping though it is possible.
He couldn’t order anyone anywhere because mr. Eye candy was getting his beauty sleep. The guy went to bed! Why has NO ONE ASKED,WHERE WERE YOU MR.PRESIDENT WHEN EVERYONE ELSE WA WATCHING THE ATTACK IN REAL TIME? He is blustering to give the impression that he was on this from the start,Hillary the same thing,but both Hillary and Obama have NOT stated what they were doing during the 6 hours of the attack.
Col. Daviv Hunt said last evening,Military people would also have been watching on real time and would be asking what do we do? Hunt said NOBODY DID ANYTHING WITH ALL THE ASSETS we have in that area.He said they just watched these people die. These lying thugs in the White House need to be asked What were you doing during the 6 hour attack?
#4 Go to bed
#5 Go to a fundraiser in Vegas
#6 Make up a story about a video and talk about it for 2 weeks, culminating in a UN Speech that was completely debunked by that time
Yes but it lasted 6 hours
Yes, it ended at around 9:30pm.
I wrote a post yesterday to watch what Obama does...He listens to the question then presents his own question. Then answers his own question. He does it again and again.
And nobody is talking about this??? This is horrible! Obama is guilty of manslaughter at the least, in my opinion. Why aren’t the Republicans asking this question?
