Obama rebuts claims he’s lying about attack on US Consulate in Libya
Yahoo! News ^ | 10/26/12 | Olivier Knox

undefinedPresident Barack Obama speaks during a campaign rally in Richmond, Virginia. (Kevin Lamarque/Reuters)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 bankis 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."

Why did you trot out the lie about the video, to cover your decision to strand our Ambassador?

If water boarding is torture, and “wanted dead or alive” creates more jihadists, why is our Kenyan president saying he wants to kill these Arabs. Where’s Cindy Sheehan? Code Pink? Assorted liberal parasites? They’re not antiwar, they’re anti-conservative.

Looks just like Clinton denying Monica in that picture

So how come over a week later you and Rice were still blaming the movie and how come one of the ex seals fathers said Hillary told him they were going to get the maker of the movie punished

Is Hillary going to call him a liar

He denied. He did not rebut. Must have been a public-school journalist.

How the hell can any voter after seeing all demonstrations on TV in those countries and listening to Obama talking about the first amendment and Hillary apologizing and then Obama going to the UN and the major papers dumping on the movie maker believe this outrageous lie
Talk about a bullshitter

There is nothing “forceful” about shopping yet another lie nobody will believe. Obama must be removed, and the sooner the better.

ONCE AGAIN he can’t tell the truth...he had information within one hour of the attack....with DIRECT FEED to the situation room at the WH.. he knew all he was going to know and react to within hours.....he had no intention of ever acting militarily even though those resources were ready to go....people died, he went to bed and then went fund raising. This BS about getting permission to enter is just that..BS. Did he get permission to get UBL?

Yahoo covering for the pres__ent, as usual.

"Rebuts" would mean that he produced some FACTS in support of his contention. This was not a rebuttal, it was just a straight denial. As in "I did not have sex with that woman".

Headline should say: "Obama DENIES claims he’s lying about attack on US Consulate in Libya." Quite a different presentation.

The stinking, lying, COMPLICIT media machine in these United States is also to blame for REFUSING to treat this numbskull the same way they treated Bush..

Instead, the sleaze that masquerade as journalists in America cover for this gutless wonder.
