    Aide: Obama didn’t deny requests for help in Benghazi

    Yep and a Assistant to someone or another said that the Moon Landing was fake

    Yep, a aide to a assistant stated categorically that the POTUS did not do anything, wrong.

    Send out another lackey to create another smoke screen so the Sock Puppet Regime can spin this and deny this and further muddy the water.

    Obama, Resign now – resign the Office of POTUS and leave without further comment -

    ,,,

    It is quite obvious that this is a massive coverup from the WH and its propaganda media wing, American Pravda.

    Had this been the malfeasance of a Republican administration, the impeachment proceedings would be forming.

    Rightfully so….and so should it be now.

    ..

    Oh, look….time for playing word games. The flip side of not saying “go rescue them” is denying to send help. The fact that no one may have said “do not send anyone” doesn’t mean that the WH didn’t refuse to send the help. The order to go has to come from the POTUS. If he fails to give the order, then the WH can’t get away with saying there was no denial of help. bho doesn’t have the guts to lead and he doesn’t have the guts to resign.

    ..

    So far I have heard a retired 3 star admiral say that “it takes time”, a secretary of defense say “we don’t go in there without real-time intelligence”, and a retired Special Forces LtCol who said “we asked to stay here and were told to pack up and leave”. Admiral, help was 1 hour away and was told repeatedly to “stand-down”. Mr SecDef, you had a drone circling overhead and eyewitnesses reporting real-time to you. Who are you trying to protect (Obama)? To LtCol Andrew Wood who was told to pack up and leave, “Sorry you had to follow orders and leave when you were telling the administration that the situation required reinforcement. I know you feel guilty but that is because you have integrity, something that the administration and particularly the president needs to have explained to them.”

    At this point, I’m not sure that much of anything The Obama could say or do would make this situation better.

    The absolute best he could do would be to come out and fall on his own sword, say the buck stops with him, and say that things were mishandled and miscommunicated. That would stop the bleeding for the most part, and the press could get back to covering his six.

    Any other attempts to explain, dismiss, dance around, cover up, shift blame, or otherwise obfuscate just feels more and more like a politician lying out his posterior.

    Even trying to “explain” the timeline gets too deep in the weeds and any listener’s eyes would just glaze over.

    ..


    bho doesn’t have the guts to lead and he doesn’t have the balls to resign.

    But yet he’s on the campaign trail begging for 4 more years American’s lives.

    ..


    General Ham… told Chaffetz that there was no orders received to go into Benghazi.

    But that contradicts what the President said in the last debate. Wouldn’t doing “everything we could” to rescue Americans in harm’s way include some kind of orders to do something? So who’s lying here?

    Here’s what Obama said so you can judge for yourself:


    Now, with respect to Libya, as I indicated in the last debate, when we received that phone call, I immediately made sure that, number one, we did everything we could to secure those Americans who were still in harm’s way…
    ..

    It appears to be a massive cover-up of gross incompetence. At best, more than a few higher-ups sat on their hands “waiting for more intelligence,” hoping the situation would fix itself instead of going in and doing something about it. At worst, everyone at the highest levels knew what was happening but wouldn’t make a decision, probably fearing how America would look by other countries if we’d gone in and, you know, fought back to protect our people. Then they concocted some specious argument that there was some rumor of a video going around that started the whole thing–which happened to go down, coincidentally, on the anniversary of 9/11.

    They had enough intel at the time to know that some Egyptians were made aware of this obscure video, but over a month on, they still don’t have enough intel to know what their own birds in the sky were doing, nor do they have enough information yet to know who knew what and when on 9/11/12? Surely they jest.

    ..

    From the Ulsterman Report:
    “LET THEM HEAR YOUR THUNDER AMERICA”
    “If you are increasingly upset over the Mainstream Media’s refusal to honestly cover the Benghazi Massacre and cover-up in order to insulate Barack Obama and his failed administration from rightful blame, for the deaths of four Americans, I urge you now to let your feelings be known by those who control the networks.”

    This was American soil, as it is with all embassy's. We have a right, a duty to protect our land and people wherever they may be. Everyone, even our enemies should respect that. Maybe it is time for us common folk to start stomping on their embassy's. Make them fear and flee.

    Perhaps there is a white house gag order..... Pres O can't answer questions perhaps because he personally does not know the answer and has a staff to do the research and tell him what to say. Life is tuff on a president who relies on a teleprompter to get his answers. Makes me suspect as to why his college grades are sealed......

    ‘The Stories Keep Changing’: President Stonewalls Morning Joe’s Libya Questions
    Posted on October 29, 2012 at 11:41am by Becket Adams


    President Barack Obama during a taped interview with MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Monday refused to answer pointed questions regarding the recent attacks on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi. Instead, he offered boilerplate assurances that a White House investigation will explain everything.

    “The fact of the matter is that this is a tragedy. There’s all kinds of legitimate questions to ask, because any time a U.S. ambassador and three other Americans who are serving our country get killed, we’ve got to figure out what happened and fix it,” the president said in response to “Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski asking him why his administration doesn’t seem to have its story straight.

    “And, most importantly, we’ve got to bring those folks who carried that out to justice. That’s exactly what we’re going to do. But I do take offense, as I’ve said during one of the debates, with some suggestion that, you know, in any way we haven’t tried to make sure that the American people knew, as information was coming in, what we believed happened,” the president added.

    “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough followed up Brzezinski’s softball question with something a little more hard-hitting: “Was it the intel community giving you bad information early on? The stories keep changing.”

    “That’s what we’re going to find out from the investigation,” the president responded. continued:


    The truth is, is that across the board, when this happened, my number one priority was to secure Americans, figure out what happened, bring those folks to justice. We are in the process of doing that right now.

    Congress has been getting the flow of information continuously from day one. And what my attitude on this is, is if we find out that there has a big breakdown and somebody didn’t do their job, they’ll be held accountable.

    Ultimately, as commander in chief, I’m responsible, and I don’t shy away from that responsibility. My number one responsibility is to go after folks who did this and we’re going to make sure that we get them. I’ve got a pretty good track record doing that.

    can a president arrest and try himself? From all reports he is responsible since it appears that he was informed, actually witnessed this atrocity against americans but went to bed and then traveled to vegas. I don't want him gambling with any more american lives. some transparent government he has (choke, gag, cough)

    Who Remembers When Obama Said: “We don’t turn back. We leave no one behind. We pull each other up.”
    October, 30, 2012 — nicedeb


    America, I never said this journey would be easy, and I won’t promise that now. Yes, our path is harder – but it leads to a better place. Yes our road is longer – but we travel it together. We don’t turn back. We leave no one behind. We pull each other up. We draw strength from our victories, and we learn from our mistakes, but we keep our eyes fixed on that distant horizon, knowing that Providence is with us, and that we are surely blessed to be citizens of the greatest nation on Earth.
    Those were Obama’s closing words from his speech to the Democrat National Convention on Sept 6 http://api.viglink.com/api/click?for...13516833577941 — five days before the deadly attack in Benghazi that left four Americans dead. Ty Woods’ repeated calls for help were ignored by his administration.. They were not pulled up. They were left behind.

    And I see no indication that anyone in this God-forsaken administration has the ability to learn from their mistakes.

    And he said it again, today, via John Nolte, Big Journalism: http://api.viglink.com/api/click?for...13516834118002


    Today, during a non-campaign campaign stop at the Red Cross, President Obama told the nation something his administration obviously didn’t believe during the seven-hour attack on our consulate in Benghazi (and a nearby annex) on the night of September 11, 2012: That when an “American is in need… we leave nobody behind"

    This is a tough time for a lot of people; millions of folks all across the Eastern Seaboard, but America’s tougher. And we’re tougher because we pull together, we leave nobody behind, we make sure we respond as a nation and remind ourselves that whenever an American is in need, all of stand together to make sure we’re providing the help that’s necessary.
    “We leave nobody behind.” Apparently it’s a favorite Obama talking point. How sickeningly ironic.


    Sean Hannity on Benghazi Audio Tapes: “I’ve Heard They Are Damning” (Video) http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2012...damning-video/

    Tyrone Woods was screaming for air support and Barack Obama did nothing.

    Then he lied about it.

    Hannity later said there are three tapes the Obama administration is holding onto including audio of Tyrone Woods begging for air support.

    “We leave nobody behind.

    New Video by American Crossroads Shows the Lies by the Obama Administration About Benghazi

    Posted on October 31, 2012 by Greg Campbell




    A new video by American Crossroads showcases the series of outright lies by the Obama Administration about the attack on our consulate in Benghazi. The Obama Administration continually pushed the narrative that the terrorist attack on September 11th, 2012, was as a result of a YouTube video. When that didn’t catch on like they had hoped, the Obama Administration switched gears and claimed that it was a coordinated attack, leading many to wonder, “Then why did they spend weeks trying to sell the American people on a faulty narrative?”

    This new video illustrates the absurdity and enraging series of lies told to us by our government. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=znVqyfxfbRQ

    Warning: It will tick you off. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=znVqyfxfbRQ

    Mid-August cable to State Department from US Mission in Benghazi warned of Al Qaeda presence, consulate’s lack of ability to defend against coordinated attackDoug Powers • November 1, 2012 11:38 AM

    Keep in mind as you read the following that in early October officials from the State Department claimed there was “no actionable intelligence” of a planned attack heading into the anniversary of 9/11 and that the attack happened without warning. http://www.france24.com/en/20121010-...attack_embassy

    From Fox News: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012...dinated-attack

    The U.S. Mission in Benghazi convened an “emergency meeting” less than a month before the assault that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans, because Al Qaeda had training camps in Benghazi and the consulate could not defend against a “coordinated attack,” according to a classified cable reviewed by Fox News.

    Summarizing an Aug. 15 emergency meeting convened by the U.S. Mission in Benghazi, the Aug. 16 cable marked “SECRET” said that the State Department’s senior security officer, also known as the RSO, did not believe the consulate could be protected.

    “RSO (Regional Security Officer) expressed concerns with the ability to defend Post in the event of a coordinated attack due to limited manpower, security measures, weapons capabilities, host nation support, and the overall size of the compound,” the cable said.

    According to a review of the cable addressed to the Office of the Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the Emergency Action Committee was also briefed “on the location of approximately ten Islamist militias and AQ training camps within Benghazi … these groups ran the spectrum from Islamist militias, such as the QRF Brigade and Ansar al-Sharia, to ‘Takfirist thugs.’” Each U.S. mission has a so-called Emergency Action Committee that is responsible for security measures and emergency planning.

    The details in the cable seemed to foreshadow the deadly Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. compound, which was a coordinated, commando-style assault using direct and indirect fire. Al Qaeda in North Africa and Ansar al-Sharia, both mentioned in the cable, have since been implicated in the consulate attack.
    That punches even more holes in the excuse the Obama administration gave, which was that the attack was sudden, a few hours just wasn’t enough time to get local military assets to the area and that US officials just didn’t know enough about what was going on. http://news.investors.com/ibd-editor...ack.htm?p=full You also might recall the VP debate where Joe Biden gave the audience the whole load when he claimed the administration’s initial assessment of the attack was “spontaneous protest that got out of control” because that’s what the intelligence community told them. http://twitchy.com/2012/10/12/smirki...press-disgust/

    Jennifer Rubin at the Washington Post adds this: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/...oryline-still-

    While the Romney campaign has not responded directly to our request for comment, former ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton told me this cable reveals multiple problems. “This cable shreds the idea that pre-9/11 security concerns and requests for security enhancements were limited to Embassy Tripoli. The vulnerability of our consulate in Benghazi, particularly to armed terrorist attacks, is front and center here.” He added: “State’s refusal to answer the questions raised by the cable reflects poorly on Secretary Clinton, but explains why she may seek to stay in office at least temporarily if President Obama wins a second term. She needs to remain in control of the State bureaucracy in order to protect herself most effectively.”

    But there is a bigger policy failure at work here, Bolton said: “The reference to terrorists and al-Qaeda training camps in the Benghazi area is chilling. In light of the threatening environment around the consulate, it is even more unbelievable that anyone could have propounded the theory that the deadly attack in September was caused by the Muhammad video.”

    The video, though uploaded to YouTube in July of this year http://www.thedailybeast.com/article...ech-issue.html , didn’t come into the picture until September 9th after an Egyptian TV host aired excerpts — three weeks after the U.S. Mission in Benghazi alerted the State Department about an Al Qaeda presence in the region and said the consulate could not defend against a coordinated attack. As to Bolton’s reference to Hillary possibly staying on at State if Obama wins the election, she hasn’t ruled that out. http://michellemalkin.com/2012/10/25...tary-of-state/

    This story has gotten too big to ignore, and yet some still are. http://articles.latimes.com/2012/oct...ghazi-20121030 “Serious” news outlets are taking a pass, which leaves it up to a handful of reporters http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journal...Raise-Benghazi , a good number of bloggers and one late night comic: http://www.mrctv.org/videos/leno-don...ns-about-libya

    What Really Happened in Benghazi on Sept. 11

    I’ve been taking a lot of flak from the Obama supporters in this audience over the past few weeks. Some are demanding that I stick to economic and investment issues and stop criticizing the president. Sorry liberals, but I have long maintained that who we elect to run the country has a big impact on the economy and therefore investment trends.

    The good news for those of you who are backing Obama (and giving me grief) is that the election will be over next Tuesday night, barring something unusual, and I will have to accept the outcome even if President Obama is re-elected. Fortunately, the polls have moved in favor of Governor Romney in recent weeks, and I hope to be relieved on Election Night.

    Today, I want to make sure that my clients and readers are clear about what happened in Benghazi, Libya on the night of September 11 when four brave Americans were murdered by al Qaeda militants. Ambassador Chris Stevens repeatedly requested additional support to protect our Embassy there, and his requests were denied – by someone.

    Unfortunately, the mainstream media is not reporting much on this story, with the exception of Fox News and conservative commentators like Limbaugh, Hannity, O’Reilly and a few others. The American people, and especially my readers, deserve to know the truth before the election! We will dig into that today.

    But first, let’s take a look at last Friday’s “advance” report on 3Q GDP.

    GDP Report Better Than Expected… Really?

    Last Friday’s advance estimate of 3Q Gross Domestic Product came in slightly better than the pre-report consensus of +1.9%. 3Q GDP rose at an annual rate of 2.0% according to the Commerce Department. Remember that this is the first of three estimates on 3Q GDP, and it will likely be revised in subsequent reports.

    The modest increase in 3Q GDP, up from 1.3% in the 2Q, was primarily the result of higher consumer spending and a surge in federal government spending, most notably by the Defense Department. Consumer spending rose by 2% in the 3Q and accounted for most of the increase in 3Q GDP. Overall federal government spending jumped 9.6%, the Commerce Dept. said, compared with a 0.2% decline in the 2Q.

    Had it not been for the big jump in defense spending, the 3Q GDP report would have been only around 1.3%, the same as in the 2Q. Unfortunately, most analysts believe that the jump in the 3Q was a one-time thing for this year. Worse yet, defense spending could be cut significantly next year if we go off the “fiscal cliff.”



    Gross Domestic Product – the broadest measure of goods and services produced by the economy – has expanded for 13 consecutive quarters, but the pace, such as the 2Q’s 1.3% growth rate, has been lackluster. 2% growth in 3Q GDP is not enough to help bring down the unemployment rate.

    Government spending contributed to growth for the first time in more than two years, led by outlays for defense. Many economists said the growth in federal spending was a temporary rebound from weak defense spending earlier in the year, noting that these outlays should decline again, especially if the fiscal cliff’s “sequestration” takes effect next year.

    There were other trouble spots in Friday’s report, including a drop in exports, which contracted for the first time in more than three years, and weaker business spending. Many businesses are bracing for slower growth. That trend has been reinforced recently by disappointing earnings and profit warnings amid headwinds from overseas, along with growing concerns about the fiscal cliff.

    Economists have been warning that consumers could dial back spending after the Nov. 6 presidential election, when the spotlight is likely to turn almost entirely to the fiscal cliff, unless the government acts to avoid it. Early estimates suggest that 4Q GDP could be closer to 1%.

    So, while last Friday’s GDP report was hailed as “better than expected,” there was more disappointing news in the report than there was on the bright side. As usual, the mainstream media only touted that it was better than the pre-report consensus. What else is new?

    What Really Happened in Benghazi on September 11

    It never ceases to amaze me how far the Obama administration will go to deceive the American people and protect its hold on power. The Benghazi cover-up is worse than Watergate – no one died in Watergate. Four Americans died in Benghazi including our Ambassador.

    As we all know, the Obama administration blamed the massacre on a violent mob reaction to an anti-Muslim video produced in the US. They did not want to call it an act of terrorism, especially with the election looming. Yet soon thereafter we learned that there was no mob and the video played no role at all. Still, the Obama administration continued this lie for weeks.

    At the conclusion of the memorial service at Andrews Air Force Base on September 14, and as the flag-draped coffins were being loaded into the hearses, Hillary Clinton told the father of former SEAL Tyrone Woods, “We’re going to have that person arrested and prosecuted, that did that video.” It is clear now that Hillary and Obama already knew the video played no role in the massacre. How disgusting and disrespectful!

    Indeed, they did have the video maker arrested shortly thereafter. It might interest you to know that his bail hearing has been set for three days after the election, by which time he will have served his purpose. I predict that he will be exonerated of all (false) charges.

    The president, the vice-president and Hillary continued to spout the video/protest story long after they knew it was false, and the mainstream media kept mostly silent as long as it could. Even as late as the VP debate on October 14, Biden continued to defend the video story saying the administration was going on “the best intelligence we had at the time.”

    By then, it had been confirmed that there never had been any protest against the video in Libya, and that the Obama line that Benghazi had been a spontaneous riot that got out of hand as a result of the movie was utterly false! The only remaining question was whether the administration had knowingly lied or was merely innocently stupid. But it gets worse, much worse.

    Last week Fox News obtained State Department e-mails revealing that shortly after 4 p.m. Eastern time on September 11, less than one hour after the assault in Benghazi began, the White House Situation Room knew the exact nature of it. An unmanned drone was circling the consulate in Benghazi and sending live video to Washington. It is now widely believed that the assault on the Consulate was streaming live in the White House Situation Room as it unfolded.

    It is now all but certain that President Obama, VP Biden and others in the administration knew what was happening in Benghazi within an hour after the pre-planned terrorist attack began, which reportedly lasted 7-8 hours and left four Americans dead. The mainstream media also knew it shortly thereafter but failed to report the truth. But that should not have surprised anyone, as the mainstream media is in the tank for Obama.

    Why Were Requests For More Security Denied?

    We now know that Ambassador Stevens sent cables to Washington emphasizing his growing concerns that the violence in Benghazi was escalating to the point that he feared for the safety of American diplomats, including himself. In fact, he sent one such e-mail on the morning of September 11 – the day he would be murdered.

    What, you didn’t hear about this? Unless you have followed the Fox News coverage in recent weeks, you would not have heard about this elsewhere on mainstream television. Fox news has produced a series of Special Reports documenting what really happened in Benghazi. But there is even more to be alarmed and angry about. http://www.foxnews.com/on-air/specia...ier/live-event

    What little was left of our security forces in Benghazi was housed at the so-called Annex Building located about a mile from the US Embassy building there. When the terrorist attack on the Consulate began, our security forces at the Annex could hear the gunshots and mortar attacks on the Embassy. They repeatedly requested permission to move to the Consulate to try to save the Americans there. Those requests were denied more than once.

    Denied by whom? We’ll come back to that shortly.

    At one point, former Navy SEALs Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty defied orders to stay put at the Annex and went to the Embassy a mile away. They fought against overwhelming odds, and were successful in saving numerous lives. Eventually, the night-long fight moved from the burned-out Embassy to the Annex building where Woods and Doherty died on the rooftop. No assistance ever arrived or was authorized.

    The US had troops and equipment in southern Italy, less than two hours away. Why weren’t they deployed? We had support forces in Tripoli, Libya. Why weren’t they deployed until too late to save Americans’ lives? We may never know exactly why.

    Obama Administration Blamed It On a Video

    We also may never know why President Obama and his administration decided to concoct the story that there was a mass demonstration at the Embassy in Benghazi over a controversial anti-Muslim video. They had to know that subsequent video from the scene would prove that there was no demonstration at the Embassy on September 11. But they went with this story anyway – for over two weeks, despite mounting evidence to the contrary.

    We may also never know why requests by the people at the Annex who wanted to go to the Embassy to help save Americans were denied, or that other troops and equipment within reach were ordered not to deploy. This is such a travesty!

    The only plausible explanation is that President Obama and his closest advisers felt that it was too big a risk to admit that a major terrorist attack that killed four Americans happened on his watch, just weeks before the presidential election.

    But the facts are out there now, despite their repeated attempts to blame it on a video that was not even a factor in the terrorist attack in Benghazi. There was no mass demonstration at the Embassy. None at all. Now who’s to blame?

    President Obama ordered a full-scale investigation into the events that occurred in Benghazi. What else is new? The president and his staff (Hillary included) continued to maintain that they did not know what really happened in Benghazi, despite mounting evidence that they had a live video feed from the scene in the White House within an hour or less after the attack began.

    As the truth began to be known, the Obama administration had to look for somewhere else to lay the blame for not ordering any forces to come to the aid of the Embassy. They chose initially to blame the CIA. OOPS, not a good idea.

    Four-Star General David Petraeus, Director of the CIA, and perhaps the most respected military man of our time, refused to let Obama “throw him under the bus,” and wasted no time in responding to the allegations that the CIA dropped the ball in defending our diplomats in Benghazi. Petraeus is above politics, but he was not about to let this president blame the CIA for what happened in Benghazi.

    General Petraeus Throws Obama Under the Bus

    The CIA released the following official statement late last week in response to Obama administration suggestions that the CIA ordered its operatives in the region to “stand down”:

    “We can say with confidence that the Agency reacted quickly to aid our colleagues during that terrible evening in Benghazi. Moreover, no one at any level in the CIA told anybody not to help those in need; claims to the contrary are simply inaccurate. In fact, it is important to remember how many lives were saved by courageous Americans who put their own safety at risk that night—and that some of those selfless Americans gave their lives in the effort to rescue their comrades.”
    It is increasingly clear now that the order for the security forces at the Annex to stand down came from the White House. It has been reported that President Obama, Vice-President Biden and Defense Secretary Panetta were all meeting in the White House on September 11 when our Embassy in Benghazi was attacked. As noted above, it is believed that they had a live video feed from the scene within the first hour of the attack. If true, they knew exactly what was happening.

    If these reports are accurate, the decision not to send help to our Embassy almost certainly came from President Obama. The question is, why? Some have speculated that the video feed from the drone circling the Embassy might not have been clear enough to tell the bad guys from the good guys. Maybe so, but the good guys were assumed to be holed-up inside in the so-called “safe house.” That’s what they are trained to do in case of an attack.

    On Thursday of last week, Defense Secretary Panetta stated that the US military did not quickly intervene during the attack on the Consulate in Libya last month because military leaders did not have adequate intelligence information and felt they should not put American forces at risk. Specifically, he said:

    “…you don't deploy forces into harm's way without knowing what's going on; without having some real-time information about what's taking place.”
    At the end of the day, this all boils down to whether the White House had a live video feed of the events unfolding in the Benghazi attack. The evidence (for those willing to look) is overwhelming that Obama, Biden and Panetta were watching the events in Benghazi on September 11 in real time within the first hour of the 7-8 hour attack. If so, how could they not do something?

    Even worse, someone issued two orders for the security forces at the Annex, only a mile away from the Consulate, to stand down and not go to the Embassy to render assistance against the terrorists. If the president was watching the live video feed, then I maintain that such orders could only have come from him.

    Whether or not those security forces could have prevented the murders of four Americans, including Chris Stevens, our Ambassador to Libya, is unknown. The point is, they were ordered to stand down – twice. Four brave Americans are dead and our Embassy compound was ransacked and burned. We did nothing to stop it. That is all we need to know.

    Finally, it would be much easier for Americans to accept the tragedy in Benghazi if the president, the vice president and Hillary had not purposely lied about what happened that fateful night. If they did nothing wrong, why did they have to lie about it? That is the question.

    The Election Will Be Over a Week From Today

    Thank goodness we only have a week to go before this bitter election will be over. Commentators on both sides of the political divide agree that this is one of the nastiest presidential campaigns in history. More money has been spent by both sides than ever before.

    Governor Romney has pulled slightly ahead in most (not all) of the national polls. Rasmussen has Romney at +2 today, while Gallup has him at +5. The key “swing states” still in play as of today are Ohio, Virginia, Iowa and Wisconsin (and maybe even Pennsylvania) where Obama still has margin-of-error leads on average, but Romney continues to gain ground. Undecided voters are reportedly breaking 3-1 for Romney.

    Most interesting is the fact that President Obama’s huge lead with women a few months ago has evaporated since the debates. The so-called “gender gap” is tied in most polls. This is a very bad sign for the president. It remains to be seen who will be the winner, but Team Obama is in big trouble with only a week left to go. I will explain why in my final “Election Special” blog tomorrow.

    Very best election season regards,

    CBS Busts Obama--and Itself--in Benghazi Cover-Up
    by Joel B. Pollak24 Oct 2012

    CBS News has released a clip of an interview by Steve Kroft of 60 Minutes on Sep. 12 with President Barack Obama that indicates Obama knew the assault on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya was a premeditated terror attack http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=7421538n --and suggests the White House later deceived the public by blaming protests against an anti-Islam video. CBS chose not to air the clip for over a month--but did air Obama’s attack on Romney that same night.

    Obama told Kroft that the attack in Benghazi was different from the violent protest at the U.S. embassy in Cairo: "You're right that this is not a situation that was exactly the same as what happened in Egypt, and my suspicion is, is that there are folks involved in this who were looking to target Americans from the start."

    Obama's remarks pointed towards a premeditated attack, in contrast to the story the White House went on to tell for weeks.

    CBS chose not to air that portion of the interview with President Obama--not even in the days and weeks that followed, when it was highly relevant--first to the question of the nature of the Benghazi attack, then to the question of whether the president had in fact called it an act of terror from the start.

    According to Fox News http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012...y-after-libya/ the clip first appeared online on Oct. 19. It was embedded Oct. 24 in an article by CBS News’ Sharyl Attkisson. http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-18563_16...ck-on-sept-11/

    What CBS chose to air, instead, was President Obama’s attack on his Republican rival, Mitt Romney, who had criticized the administration’s apologetic response to the Cairo demonstration. http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_1...st-aims-later/

    Obama said Romney “seems to have a tendency to shoot first and aim later.” That portion of the interview aired immediately, and drove the news for days. Obama’s comment suggesting that the attack had been premeditated was not aired.

    Attkisson reported this week that emails linking an Al Qaeda affiliate to the Benghazi attack had been sent to the White House Situation Room just over two hours after the attack had begun. The emails suggest that the Obama administration knew from the outset that the Benghazi attack had been a terrorist attack--and that it knowingly misled the public when it repeatedly claimed there was no evidence of terrorist involvement. http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Peace/2...-terror-Attack

    When the video story unraveled, the White House tried to argue that President Obama had called the Benghazi attack an act of terror all along. In the second presidential debate, the President famously pointed to his Sep. 12 statement in the Rose Garden as proof http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journal...r-On-Day-After though his reference to “acts of terror” on that occasion had been general and not specific to the Benghazi attack, which he implied had been provoked by the video. http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Peace/2...n-September-12

    The new CBS footage suggests that Obama did, in fact, describe the Benghazi attacks as premeditated terrorism--not in the Rose Garden but in the White House itself, in a portion of an interview that did not air until more than a month later.

    During that time, both CBS and Obama could have referred to the interview, but did not--likely because doing so would have vindicated Obama at the cost of exposing his subsequent deceit.

    The fact that CBS refrained from publishing the critical clip from the interview widens the political scandal surrounding Benghazi into a media scandal.

    National Public Radio’s Mara Liasson criticized CBS on Fox News Special Report yesterday, saying that CBS ought to have made the entire interview with Obama available immediately, in the public interest.

    Together with the president, CBS has much to explain.

    Yes on way more, logic tells me the real story is not the death of the Ambassador, but the clandestine operation that was going on prior to his death. What were they doing and why. No one goes to this extent to distort the truth unless the have some major things to hide.

    ..

    I want to know why Clinton AND Obama have been lying about Syria! Assad isn't killing Syrians! Read the news sources outside the United States, and you will get the truth. While Clinton stands up in front of the reporters, and say "We condemn Syria for attacking their people" and threaten to intervene, I just get pissed off and sick to my stomach over how she can just stand there and lie every time she opens her trap about Syria!

    Everything they've been telling us on Syria doesn't fit the picture of another "Arab Spring"! If these were really Syrians wanting to kick out their leaders, then Why aren't they doing the fighting at the Capital of Syria!!??? The violence started in little villages and towns, hundreds of miles away from the Capital of Syria! These killings are going on near the border, where Terrorists are crossing the border and killing innocent Syrians! The Syrian Government is trying to protect their own people from these jihadists, who are killing people in the same styles of killings that they've been doing in other countries! Syrians aren't mutilating bodies! Terrorists are doing these sick killings to innocent children, and Obama and Hillary have BLOOD on their hands for giving those jihadists the weapons to take over the country!

    The next question is why are they lying to us? OIL! Syria provides oil to France and GB, and other European Countries. Why are we fighting for Their Oil supplies!?!

    I just hope that Romney doesn't continue this lie, and pulls the troops out of that region!

    ..

    Penetration and corruption of media in America and world over by Communists/Islamists/Socialists/Progressive, is a tragedy. Laws to suppress speech is not even necessary anymore as the media just lean over willingly while suppressing and making stories up to defend those who wish to suppress freedom.
