Obama rebuts claims he’s lying about attack on US Consulate in Libya By Olivier Knox, Yahoo! News | The Ticket – 2 hrs 25 mins ago

President Barack Obama on Friday forcefully denied deliberately misleading Americans about the deadly attack on the U.S. Consulate in the Libyan city of Benghazi, telling radio host Michael Smerconish, "I've always been straight with the American people."

Speaking to Smerconish during a 15-minute Oval Office interview, Obama also declared he was "absolutely" prepared to kill those behind the assault but would prefer to capture them and "bring them to justice."

Asked whether the administration's shifting explanation for the September 11 strike reflected the intelligence he was receiving, Obama replied: "What's true is that the intelligence was coming in and evolving as more information came up.

"And what is true," he continued, "...This is something that the American people can take to the bank—is that my administration plays this stuff straight. We don't play politics when it comes to American national security," the president said. "As information came in we gave it to the American people. And as we got new information, we gave that to the American people."

When and if the location of those behind the attack is known, Smerconish asked, "Will you take that person out without regard for the election timetable?"

I don’t know what would make anyone think that he was telling the truth. He has a record of being a liar. Look at the three debates!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tough words. I wonder what he thinks about the cowards who watched this happen in real time and denied 2 requests by CIA operatives to assist those poor souls tortured and killed my mussie terrorists.

I too would like to capture them and bring them to justice.

“I made my mistakes, but in all of my years of public life, I have never profited, never profited from public service — I earned every cent... “And in all of my years of public life, I have never obstructed justice. And I think, too, that I could say that in my years of public life, that I welcome this kind of examination, because people have got to know whether or not their president is a crook. Well, I am not a crook. I have earned everything I have got.”

I make the claim he(obama) lies about everything not just Libya..

I make the claim his lieing is pathological..

Forget Libya what about all the other lies..
I mean set down on a chair wipe your eyes WHOPPERS..

Democrat talking points seem to be Democrat party LIEING POINTS...
The lies are like an SNL Skit almost always..

Long past being funny, humorous.. “cute”.. they are malicious..
More like propaganda, agitprop..

So very far past being “cute” they are UGLY.. approaching Treason not even sedition or espionage..
If he’s hung for treason for this look for me UNDER the Hood pulling the trap..
That would be me..

Too late!

The perps were being laser identified from the safe house, and the AC 130 gunship was just waiting for 0bama's orders to fire.

0bama never ordered "those behind the assault" killed on the spot.

Only now after the issue is political and he's lost the issue does he give a damn. Dead Americans are okay with 0bama. Losing politically is not okay with 0bama.

"...would prefer to capture them and “bring them to justice.”

In other words, Commander Zero would prefer to do nothing at all.

He did not rebut he denied. Rebut means to offer evidence to the contrary of an assertion.

He did not.

Just another misleading headline from the co-dependent MSM.

An interview with a talk radio show host, and an MSNBC associated one at that, is the venue for his “Checkers” speech.

In the first couple of years, I thought Obama’s unprecedented appearances on all of the popular, informal shows was a stroke of political genius. It made him accessible to the younger, more mediated segment of the population.

He was also all over the regular MSM outlets, but eventually his grabbing of prime time under the excuse of “the President speaks (woof)” became tiresome.

In the past couple of years, the whole act has worn thin. He studiously avoids any semi-serious press, even the largely sympathetic WH press corps. No news conferences, only puff-ball appearances on the informal talk and celebrity media, and tons of public campaigning appearances.

Can we say “narcissist?” Yes, but it’s also an act that is rapidly getting old, and I think it’s a major turnoff to most truly independent voters.

Throw in his transparent malfeasance in Libya, and I think that sucker is going down. At least, I fervently hope so.

He’s always “neem straight”?

ORLY?

The second debate fake righteous indignation will make for a good clip to play after its revealed POTUS made the decision to not intervene.

Four men left behind.

Obama claimed “I’ve always been straight with the American people.” Now that’s the funniest thing I’ve heard in 5 decades!!

This is something that the American people can take to the bank—is that my administration plays this stuff straight.
