Obama Campaign Spokesman Abruptly Ends Radio Interview After Being Asked About Obama 'Lying' About
The Blaze ^ | 10/12/12 | Madeleine Morgenstern

Posted on 10/12/2012 8:20:22 AM PDT by Nachum

Obama campaign press secretary Ben LaBolt abruptly ended a heated radio interview Thursday after being pressed on President Barack Obama’s differing statements on the terrorist attack on the U.S. Consulate in Libya.

LaBolt insisted on Cleveland‘s WTAM that the White House has been sharing all the facts as they’ve come in from the intelligence community. Asked whether the president should make a statement disavowing his past comments blaming the assault on an anti-Islam video, LaBolt pushed back.

“The president called it an act of terror within 24 hours, he again updated the American people on the incident in Benghazi in his interview on ABC News last night and he — ” LaBolt said.

“So which time was he lying, when he called it a terror attack or when he called it a video problem?” WTAM’s host interjected. “Because he said two different things.”

“Thank you for having me this morning, I’ve gotta move to my next interview,” LaBolt said, ending the conversation.

Listen to the full interview below; hangup occurs around the 11:05 mark.

The Socialists have NO ANSWERS for their own actions much less running the country.

In between those two times, Obama told the UN it was because of the film. Hmmmmm.

Laz can answer for himself, but the first thought I had when the thing began, and I saw her for the first time: “That’s a man.”

I heard this when it was aired. LaBolt was the usual 'rat automaton, mechanically repeating obviously false talking points. The host was pretty pissed afterward as were others in the newsroom, asking on the air, why waste time on such liars.

consumer confidence is at a 5 year high!

Of course, another effect of Romney's debate performance. The Consumer Confidence survey asks what people expect a year from now, and five years from now. Clearly, the heightened prospects of a Romney presidency and Obama defeat has elevated expectations for the future.

Good characterizations. Actually, Triv called in after the interview, with a brief comment on LaBolt's lies: "Oh. My. God."

Frantz is on most evenings for a varying length of time depending on sports events which take broadcast priority.
