ABC News White House correspondent Jake Tapper asks White House press secretary Jay Carney about the timeline of events in respect to the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi.
TAPPER: President Obama, shortly after the attack told "60 Minutes" that regarding Mitt Romney's response to the attacks, specifically in Egypt, the president said that Romney has a tendency to "shoot first and aim later."
