Benghazi-Gate: Obama Refuses To Answer Direct Question Regarding Denying Embassy Support
From Gregg Re at the Daily Caller
In an unusually direct and at times tense interview with Denver local news station KUSA, President Barack Obama on Friday admitted on two occasions that he doesn’t know whether the administration denied requests for military assistance by the U.S. Embassy in Libya when it was besieged on Sept. 11...
The POTUS claims he didn't know anything about the Benghazi affair in regard to whether anyone in his administration denied the request for military assistance three times from the Americans under siege by Islamic terrorists. What a pathetic response. Obama is responsible to know that information, period. He is the Commander in Chief. That is his primary duty and he failed it miserably and perhaps criminally.
...“Were the Americans under attack at the consulate in Benghazi Libya denied requests for help during that attack? And is it fair to tell Americans that what happened [in Libya] is under investigation and we’ll all find out after the election?” anchor Kyle Clark asked at the top of the interview...
Hard hitting questions. Misdirection and obfuscation in response by Obama
...“The election has nothing to do with four brave Americans getting killed and us wanting to find out exactly what happened,” Obama replied. “Nobody wants to find out more what happened than I do. But we want to make sure we get it right.”...
Obama, the trained attorney, knows this answer would not be admissible in a court of law. Kyle Clark proceeds with his questioning.
...“Were they denied requests for help during the attack?” Clark asked again, referring to reports that the U.S. military could have intervened before militants killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens...
Again, Obama side steps the questioning which he knows is not going his way.
...“Well, we are finding out exactly what happened,” Obama repeated. “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.”...
He's stonewalling. He's out-Nixoning Nixon.
ReplyDeleteSheesh.
Takes a local tv station to finally grill this man! Msm should be ashamed of its self. If this was a republican prez,the press would be screaming 24 hours a day
ReplyDeleteI'm very proud of Kyle Clark. Finally, someone in the mainstream media who asked the President questions that need to be asked...and answered.
ReplyDeleteObama had his aids make a statement the next day, Obama will not say who denied helping the Americans directly because he knows the truth will come out and show he was not honest, he would much rather surrogates take the blame. Obama doesn't want another Bill Clinton type denial video for his legacy.
