Update (5:53 PM ET): President Barack Obama reportedly refused to provide a direct answer to repeated questions on whether requests for help in Benghazi were denied as the attack was underway during an interview with 9News in Denver on Friday.
Kyle Clark, a reporter with 9News, asked the president about the requests for help and whether or not it was fair to make Americans wait for answers on Benghazi until after the election.
“The election has nothing to do with four brave Americans getting killed and us wanting to find out exactly what happened,” Obama said. “Nobody wants to find out more what happened than I do.”
The president went on to say he wants to “gather all the facts” and find out “exactly what happened” and bring justice to the terrorists who attacked the U.S. mission in Libya.
“President Obama was directly asked twice whether pleas for help on the ground in Libya were denied during the attack. Both times, he repeated his standard call for a thorough investigation,” 9News reports.
Here is Obama’s full response to the question:
“Well, we are finding out exactly what happened. I can tell you, as I’ve said over the last couple of months since this happened, the minute I found out what was happening, I gave three very clear directives. Number one, make sure that we are securing our personnel and doing whatever we need to. Number two, we’re going to investigate exactly what happened so that it doesn’t happen again. Number three, find out who did this so we can bring them to justice. And I guarantee you that everyone in the state department, our military, the CIA, you name it, had number one priority making sure that people were safe. These were our folks and we’re going to find out exactly what happened, but what we’re also going to do it make sure that we are identifying those who carried out these terrible attacks.”
Watch that portion of the interview here:
Clark’s line of questioning was seemingly different than the president usually faces from a media that has been friendly to him.
The 9News reporter also asked Obama about his previous calls for more “civility” in the race, calling him out for calling Romney a “bullsh**ter in a Rolling Stone interview.
“What did you mean and why did you choose that word?” he asked.
“You know, this was a conversation after an interview, a casual conversation with a reporter,” Obama explained.
“The basic point that I’ve been talking about throughout this campaign, is people know what I mean and they know that I mean what I say and what I care about, who I’m fighting for and you know a major issue in any election is can you count on the person you’re putting into the Oval Office fighting for you having a clear set of convictions that they believe in.”
Finally, Obama was asked to address his administration’s decision to give stimulus funds to Abound Solar, a Colorado company with ties to one of the president’s billionaire fundraisers. The company has since gone out of business and is now under criminal investigation, Clark reports.
After laughing, Obama said: “Well, Kyle, I think that if you look at our record that these loans that are given out by the Department of Energy for clean energy have created jobs all across the country and only about four percent of these loans were going to some very cutting-edge industries that are going to allow us to figure out how to produce energy in a clean, renewable way in the future and create jobs in Colorado and all around the country.”
Watch the interaction here:
Watch Obama’s full interview with 9News below:
In a separate interview on “The Michael Smerconish Show” Friday, Obama said he was “not personally aware” of any requests for additional security in Benghazi, Libya before the Sept. 11 strike on the consulate, Fox News reports. The question that many people want an answer to is whether the president knew of the cries for help during the terrorist attack on the U.S. compound.

Posted on October 26, 2012 at 9:01pmHey DABULL,
No mi amigo, he’s far from limp wristed.
This is the most crafty Chicago sewer rat to ever crawl out from Richard Daley’s breeding farm.
Realize that he has silenced the entire MSM about an event like ordering the assassination of a US Ambassador and three others.
Rest assured, everyone in the chain of command will feel the wrath of the Mossad. Surprised? Don’t be. The Mossad will gladly jump at the chance to exterminate the Obamaites like the vermon they are. There’s bound to be a rash of heart attacks and suicides among the chain-of-command from Obama on down in all the agencies involved in the treason. Some in the CIA will finger the faction who carried out the orders of the sewer rat.
There will be some horsetrading go on. A little sister who lives in Tel Aviv who wants desperately to go to Harvard, an Israeli defense contractor offering a similar product as the US vendor who can be convinced to withdraw his offer this round of bidding.
It will be done. Make no mistake about it and the CIA elements doing the negotiating will be so far removed from the action that it it might even look like the new KGB was responsible.
Yep, if I was was the insurance underwriter carrying most of the traitors’ whole life policies, I’d be reaching for Alka-Seltzer right now.

Posted on October 26, 2012 at 10:46pmHonestly unlike most of the people posting here I don’t hate the president, but his actions particularly the vice-presidents crude comments to the boys father have left me to change my vote to the Romney-Ryan ticket. I have been a democrat (no longer) albeit a conservative one, and the presidents actions during this crisis, and over the past four years have left me wondering were Obama and the Democrats values are? We have been led to believe that the best America can do is to have a stagnant economy, and being marginalized abroad. I sincerely hope that Romney/Ryan can deliver peace through strength and prosperity through growth and innovation! And if elected they should give this boys father a medal of honor for what his son had to go through.

Posted on October 27, 2012 at 1:45amTIME FOR SOME STRAIGHT TALK: 1) ROMNEY isn’t talking about LiBYA because he knows whatever HE said would get in the way and Obama is hanging himself just fine. WE all know now that OBAMA DID know about BENGHAZI and our SEALS and AMBASSADOR… WE all know what the Coward did, then went to sleep and went ALL SMILES out to NEVADA the next morning, and pushed the LIE for 14 days.
2) ROMNEY has NOT conceded OHIO…he’s moved up there about 10 points since last month and is dead even or depending upon which poll, just a point or two behind. Obama’s big base has let him down. ROMNEY will TAKE OHIO and WISCONSIN, and hopefully PA too!
3) OBAMA…dude, you look like you’ve been rode hard and put away wet. YOU have lost your MOJO and look like that “DEAD FISH” that the SEAL Father said you shook hands like. We pulled the mask off dude and what’s behind it is UGLY. YOU know you’re losing I suppose and that’s why the sallow face! Biden is just crowing like the nut-case he is too… another “TELL”.

Posted on October 27, 2012 at 1:57amI am first want to just for my self tell Mr. Woods, that I am sorry and thank you for raising a true american and may God bless you and your family forever. Secondly i President.
Mr President
Over the last 12 years I have had he privilege to be able to have lived overseas in developing nations and experience different cultures and their governments. Those experiences helped me to realize how much of a blessing the Untied States and it form of government is to its citizens. But that has changed and I am ashamed for what we the people have allowed your administration to get away with. You Mr. President have brought dishonor to the office of the President, the government of the United States. You should be ashamed at how you have deceived the American people time and time again, especially with the attacks on the embassy in Libya. Did no one teach you what it means to be President? You are the servant of the people; it is your job to protect the citizens and their right insured through the constitution, we are your bosses, you answer to us. You failed in this duty, you have failed to answer the people in regards to the action either you yourself or those whom advise and work for you about Libya. You failed to do your duty as Commander and chief to provide your soldiers on the soldiers on the ground the support and leadership that was required in their hour of need. All I can say is shame on you Mr. President.

The hero agents were asked to stand down. For that I call for POTUS to step down! It is time.

Posted on October 27, 2012 at 7:41amThe house intelligence committee is not allowing this to go away. Expect early in 2013 for charges to be brought concerning the Benghazi attack as well charges will be brought concerning the video. Credible sources indicate that is in the works now. Yes Mr Obama knows this and that is why he continues to posture himself in the media. Its not going to help, because in the end, no one is going to be willing to do time in federal prison for one person to be exonerated.
I am sure those involved, who were given orders concerning Benghazi and concerning the video, have already been promised a presidential pardon if they allow the axe to fall upon them. However the question with that offer is; can they trust the president once they are in jail for his acts? Would you? Mr Obama has proven historically that he has no problem lying at anytime and about anything in order to benefit himself. I would expect all those offered the pardon deal will consider his credibility and will take the deal congress offers them to tell the truth. Its easier to observe one person become impeached than for all those tens to hundreds of people involved to go to federal prison for the one.

I doubt that any of us HATE the prez, we just don’t like having an incompetent person in the White House. This man had done nothing good for America, but has put us into a depression, causing more people out of work, on welfare, food stamps, gas prices soared, the cost of food is almost unbelievable, and you think we should love having this kind of person in charge of running our Country? Sorry, but I feel with what we’ve learned about obama, I have no use for him, not hatred.

Posted on October 27, 2012 at 11:55amBarack Obama said in (Colo Channel 9) this interview that his green energy policies and the failure in Libya to provide our ambassador and other American citizens support in their time of need “HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH POLITICS.” Well sir I beg to differ with you on this as the tax payer’s money that you put into these failed green companies and your lack of leadership displayed in Libya has EVERYTHING TO DO WITH POLITICS and is in direct relationship to your failed administration and policies over the past four years. OMG! ~ OBAMA MUST GO! ~ OMG! OMG!

Posted on October 27, 2012 at 12:39pmIn order to make him answer a direct question, Romney needs to state, “After I am elected I will order an independent prosecutor to find all the details of the event and bring charges against those who were derelict in their duties.” The media would have to cover that and the administration COULD do nothing and be assumed guilty or pony up some straight talk. Michelle Malkin is correct, “lying liars and crap weasels”.

Posted on October 27, 2012 at 1:07pmIts clear Obama wants to gloss over this horror. Of course he knew exactly what happened. Are we to believe our President is uninformed? The problem is his supporters just don’t care either. I think the real answer is Obama couldn’t make a decision. He got that 3:00 am call and went awol. And no one in his administration could make one for him. I really believe he didn’t think this Lybia situation would be this explosive. Just another present vote.

Posted on October 27, 2012 at 4:02pmPresident Obama has lied since 2008, he has told so many lies and now because he has a track record to compare words and actions, he isn’t able to lie quite as well or as smoothly as he used to. He is directly responsible for the deaths of those Americans in Libya, it was not necessary for them to die, and Yes lets get some more wealthy peoples money, give it to his friends so they can start up companies that have no chance of succeeding Solar and Wind energy are just more lies. They aren’t cost effective now, it is very likely they will not be cost effective in our lifetime. Investments into these bogus clean energy programs is nothing but wasted money, every kilowatt of power generated by wind and solar increases the cost we pay for electricity and just like the deaths of those Americans in Libya, the increase in cost is entirely unnecessary.

Posted on October 28, 2012 at 12:20amCOLT 1860: Please add this…three days after Benghazi attack: two dead Marines, including a Harrier Squadron Commander, nine injured, eight irreplaceable aircraft (7% of USMC Harriers), worth tens of billions were destroyed in what has been called as the “worst day in USMC aviation history since the ’68 Tet Offensive”
From an article by Michele Malkin, October 26, 2012:
“What About the Camp Bastion Attack?
Three days after the bloody 9/11 siege on our consulate in Benghazi, the Taliban waged an intricately coordinated, brutal attack on Camp Bastion in Afghanistan. The murderous jihadists released video exactly one month ago this week showing off their training exercises in preparation for the assault. Where are the questions?
Where’s the accountability? Where’s the Obama administration? Where’s the press? Where’s the outrage?
Two heroic US Marines were killed in the battle. Their names — Lt. Col. Christopher Raible and Sgt. Bradley Atwell — have not been uttered publicly by the commander in chief. Their arrival back in the United States, in flag-draped coffins, wasn’t broadcast on network TV. But their brothers-in-arms did not and will not forget. And neither must we.”

Posted on October 26, 2012 at 7:32pmEncinom; I know you have absolutely no idea how things work at that level, but unless POTUS was dead, he knew within minutes what was happening in Benghazi. They vectored in a drone and had real time pictures within two hours.
The Flash posting went out at the first sign of the attack so POTUS, VPOTUS, among many others were briefed within minutes and they were watching what was happening in the situation room.
There is only one (1) person that could stop the rescue efforts and protocols already in place.

“This report explains the context of the oft cited debate, between Obama and Keyes in the following Fall, in which Keyes faulted Obama for not being a “natural born citizen”, and in which Obama, by his quick retort, “So what? I am running for Illinois Senator, not the presidency”, self-admitted that he was not eligible for the office.”

Posted on October 26, 2012 at 8:07pmThe allegation that this was supposed to be a “kidnapping”, and Bam would be a hero, blah, blah, blah, is actually seeming like the only explaination to this whole ordeal. Just add up all the pieces of information and they all seem to fit that scenario. Here are just a few…
-Ambassador apparently died accidentally of smoke inhalation—-OOPS!
-He was taken to a hospital, probably by the guys who were supposed to “kidnap” him,
and were now kind of upset that their plan was not going according to plan.
-Back-up security was denied because it was not supposed to be needed.
-Navy SEALs who showed up were not in the loop of info, and had to be whacked.
Whatever happened was outrageous, and hopefully the full truth comes out.

Fox News has learned from sources who were on the ground in Benghazi that an urgent request from the CIA annex for military back-up during the attack on the U.S. consulate and subsequent attack several hours later on the annex itself was denied by the CIA chain of command — who also told the CIA operators twice to “stand down” rather than help the ambassador’s team when shots were heard at approximately 9:40 p.m. in Benghazi on Sept. 11.

Posted on October 27, 2012 at 1:10pmThe more I learn about Benghazi the sicker and angrier I get. Lemmings like ENICOM/MONICE and Dora Glasburg are just willfully ignorant of what is going on around them. Libya was Obama’s shining example of husbanding a growing democratic movement called the Arab Spring. The murder of the ambassador and SEALS really screwed up that narrative for him and Hillary. It made Obama look bad.
The response or the the lack thereof was all just to cover up Obama’a ineptness when it comes to foriegn affairs. It is all about re-electing this man to the WH. With two drones overhead shooting video in real time to DC let alone dispatches pleading for help at the same time I can’t help but wonder if Obama and posse were not eating popcorn during the movie.
The CIA operatives disobeyed orders and ended up saving lives at the cost of their own. They should be saluted and commended. This in spite of the fact the Obama belief is that they were expendable pawns for his greater glory. We had Marines based in Tripoli that were outside Benghazi awaiting the order that they knew would surely come to extricate our people. That was in vain as it never came. Obama figured it was more important for him to get re-elected and to get to Vegas for a fundraiser.

Do you really find it acceptable for a POTUS to ask for a full investigation into a matter such as this? Shouldn’t the POTUS already be fully briefed on the situation? Shouldn’t that POTUS have known the split second matters got “ugly” in Benghazi? Isn’t that the purpose of the little earpiece he wears even during presidential debates?
You excuse behavior of Obama that you would be swinging from the rafters screaming if Bush had done it. Grow a pair and start being as intellectually honest as you can be.

Obama probably didn’t know what to do except try to lie his way out of it but he cannot do that this time. We know that he, Clinton, Panetta, Biden and others failed to send aid and in fact told Seal Teams, who were a mile or so away, to stand down. What a wad of worthless GD cowards.

Posted on October 26, 2012 at 6:27pmWe have not heard the end of this OBL scam. Some HISTORIAN is going to have a field day. Don’t be surprised if – after Obama looses – suddenly the “returning messianic OBL turns up” It’s not out of the scheme of things… Saddam Hussein had several body doubles, remember? The whole thing over there stinks to high Heavens. Obama supposedly WORSHIPED OBL…had posters of him on his wall where we may have had Fleetwood Mac ! Something stinks…all of it.

Posted on October 26, 2012 at 6:37pmI don’t want to be POLLYANNA here, but remember, there are 21% of them vs. 75% of us (they have the MSM with them). I think people will be relieved. There will be a lot of mis-information that will need to be put out…there will be a lot of work to do and we will do it. But I don’t think it’s going to be a 50-50 fight. Remember there are a lot of UNION people, a lot of teachers/fire etc. who will be worried but ROMNEY can put their minds at ease. As far as African Americans (Blacks) they make up about 16% of our population and there are many great Black men/women who will be able to speak to them. There are a lot of HISPANICS but many of them are really conservatives. OBAMA and his goons would love for all of us to be intimidated and afraid of what would happen if he looses…I predict a PARTY that will run for about a WEEK continuously …. Dancing in the STREETS!
STOCK MARKET GOING NUTS… EPA creeps trying to figure out where the move next, CANADA won’t take them, and the rats who have caused this disaster (last 4 years) will be heading for the hills. Hillary can hang it up…she’s no better than the S.head. I’m trusting GOD. It may also be the END TIMES and then we don’t get a reprieve from this…then we just turn whole heartedly to GOD !

Barack Obama has more than a failed presidency–he has a failed mentality. If he were simply screwing up his own life we wouldn’t care; regrettably, though, he is screwing up our country.
When South Carolina Congressman Joe Wilson yelled out “You lie” during Obama’s 2009 State of the Union address, people were shocked. Little did we know back then that time would prove Wilson 100% correct.
Barack Obama has a sinister side that I fear will come unglued if/when he loses. Obama is mentally unfit for the job and is an outright danger to the United States. I pray I am wrong, but I sense he will not go quietly, choosing instead a scorched earth policy.
Obama is a narcissistic megalomaniac and a pathological liar and that, my friends, is a dangerous combination. He may even fancy himself as the 12th Imam, the Mahdi. If that were to be the case, we should anticipate his purposeful destruction of this country and the world because he would consider that his destiny, his duty and therefore his glorious final act.
The man is sick.

Posted on October 26, 2012 at 6:08pmOr how about this one. Fiat money is genuinely based on power to induce production from Society, but mostly future production, or you can call it selling the souls of your unborn children down the river. So if Americans did that to their future grand children for the comforts of the present, then they aren’t going to discomfort themselves for any future Liberty for their grand children.

Posted on October 26, 2012 at 6:37pmWell put-I have expressed the same fears that you have—-this WH pretender has plenty of time after the election and before Jaunuary, 2013 to issue more illegal “executive orders” and/or declare martial law due to massive rioting or to fabricate “emergency fiscal” directives, ultimately “suspending” the presidential election results.
This person is unstable and with his gangs of disciples I unfortunately worry not only about our country but my own personal safety around and after election time.

Posted on October 26, 2012 at 7:22pmI think of Joe Wilson often. Great Timing. Spot ON. I, myself, have believed that 0 was a liar and evil since 2007 and have cringed at every evil deed he has done along the way. Now the only comfort I can find are those of you who see it too. Thank God I’m not alone. Back in 2007 I could not get people see what was coming. The more I said Marxist the more crazy people thought I was. Time has proven I’m not crazy and, in fact, he’s worse than I imagined. God Help us & Bless this Country once Again.

Posted on October 26, 2012 at 5:54pmI imagine he diverted the question the cocky and condescending way he dodged George Stephanopoulus’ question regarding “Obamacare” as a tax increase. Remember?
STEPHANOPOULOS: I — I don’t think I’m making it up. Merriam Webster’s Dictionary: Tax — “a charge, usually of money, imposed by authority on persons or property for public purposes.”
OBAMA: George, the fact that you looked up Merriam’s Dictionary, the definition of tax increase, indicates to me that you’re stretching a little bit right now. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have gone to the dictionary to check on the definition. I mean what…
STEPHANOPOULOS: Well, no, but…
OBAMA: …what you’re saying is…
STEPHANOPOULOS: I wanted to check for myself. But your critics say it is a tax increase.
OBAMA: My critics say everything is a tax increase. My critics say that I’m taking over every sector of the economy. You know that. Look, we can have a legitimate debate about whether or not we’re going to have an individual mandate or not, but…
STEPHANOPOULOS: But you reject that it’s a tax increase?
OBAMA: I absolutely reject that notion.
Obama turns questions around and starts lecturing others that they are beneath him.

I imagine he would divert MY question in the same cocky and condescending way he dodged George Stephanopoulus’ question regarding “Obamacare” as a tax increase. Remember?
CHUCK PART: I — I don’t think I’m making it up. U.S. Constitution, Article III, Section 3: Treason — “Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort..”
OBAMA: Chuck, the fact that you looked up The Constitution, the definition of treason, indicates to me that you’re stretching a little bit right now. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have gone to the constitution to check on the definition. I mean what…
CHUCK PART: Well, no, but…
OBAMA: …what you’re saying is…
CHUCK PART: I wanted to check for myself. But your critics say it is Treason.
OBAMA: My critics say everything is treason. My critics say that I’m made arms deals with our enemies, armed them to help overthrow their current governments, and that doing so enabled them to turn those weapons on us while I sat by and did nothing to protect our assets and diplomatic personnel abroad, but…
CHUCK PART: But you reject that it’s treason?
OBAMA: I absolutely reject that notion.
CHUCK PART: Sir, The American People reject your assertion. I respectfully suggest that you prepare for trial and subsequent death by hanging. Thank you for your time Mr. President.

Posted on October 26, 2012 at 6:02pmIf one looks at the reality of the American system, people throw [stuff] at each other, and call it “The things you need.” Children are raised in households whereby the children will grow into adults, and in the off chance they have less [stuff] than the parents then they see themselves as inadequate. When people see a homeless person the first thing they think to do for the homeless person is to give them stuff, whether food or a blanket. Americans attribute [love] to being stuff. But over-all the grand effect is the spirit of people fading, even dying. Now if the idea in America of someone having a hard-time is just not having stuff, or other things of comfort, then there isn’t even one American who will do what it takes to save America, because nobody wants to lose their comfort, and if Americans will destroy their child’s spirit in nice times, then there is no way they care about their child’s future enough to put their own rears in a sling.
