Fox News ^

[Toespi]

Is expected to take questions regarding the IRS scandal and Benghazi. We will see......

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

Zero: "Here's what we know. Americans died in Benghazi. They were clearly not adequately protected. It wasn't until the following day that I found out what happened. I pledged the following day to get the perpetrators, and that's what we've been trying to do... In the ensuing months a review board investigated every aspect of this, and they gave us a whole series of recommendations... The whole issue of talking points has been a side show (stammer)... it's not clear how this was carried out or what the motivation waa.

No one understood what was taking place in the first few days... The committee reviewed these emails months ago, and a few days ago this gets spun up again... There's no there, there...

[glennaro]

Says Rice’s talking points were what he was receiving in his daily (CIA) briefings ... another lie! He’s going for the record!!

[MHGinTN]

He is lying with the sole aim to politicize the process of Congress seeking the facts. He is also lying to deflect balme which rests solely with him and his feckless lack of leadership capabilities. The questioner was a set up. I am learning to hate these liars and little barry bastard boy is the pinnacle of the liars. He is lying and layering his lies! His worshippers will be too stupid to see throught he first layer, much less the rest.

[Fresh Wind]

“It all depends on what the meaning of the word “was” was.”

[caww]

Obama says...” talking points we’ve heard has been a sideshow!”

“Nobody knew what was taking place those first few days”....

“There was nothing a fowl in the process we used”

Talking points of Rice matched the assessments I received at that tie in my daily breifing”

[opentalk]

IRS.. Obama says he learned of Friday. ...from same sources you did

this sounds familiar...similar past statement about when he learned of Fast and Furious

[txhurl]

There is no ‘there, there’?

I, I, I, I, except lying about not blaming the video!

[TomGuy]

So 5 or 6 days later his daily briefings were still saying that the video was the cause?

[He continued to use that video for 3 weeks.]

[bonfire]

He’s such a poor liar.

[Jane Long]

The spin and lies are flowing fast (and furious!).

[kabar]

Obama lying about Benghazi. He can be refuted with facts. I wonder if there is going to be a follow-up question.

[NormsRevenge]

There’s No There There.
Well spoken, Mr. Pres__ent..
Parsing like a clinton
game over

[tapatio]

[no-to-illegals]

Easily refuted

[mardi59]

Talking points and Rice, matched assessments he was receiving. 2-3 days later he sent out head of national terrorism who said it was terrorism. He did not downplay information.

[justlurking]

Of course it is outrageous.

But, he didn’t deny it. And he didn’t say he didn’t know about it before Friday.

[MNlurker]

The opportunity is there now for the MSM to hang Barack Obama by his own petard...more a question of whether or not they will.

[cajungirl]

how many days larer did he stand in front of those coffins?

[MinuteGal]

He's stuttering an "uh-uh-uhing" all over the place.

He's lying in almost every sentence.

He's so defensive he LOOKS guilty on all counts!

Leni

[luvie]

Is his nose growing longer? Should be!
