President Barack Obama on Friday forcefully denied deliberately misleading Americans about the deadly attack on the US 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 11th 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 bank -- is 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."
When and if the location of those behind the attack is known, Smerconish asked, "Will you take that person out without regard for the election timetable?"
"Absolutely," Obama replied. "But I think our goal would be to bring them to justice."

Obama has no regard for this country or its people.
“Obama also declared he was “absolutely” prepared to kill those behind the assault but would prefer to capture them and “bring them to justice.”
FDR told the press that at Midway, if forced to, he was prepared to use our fleet to sink the Japanese carriers that attacked Pearl Harbor 6 months ago. But he said he would prefer to capture them, arrest the crew and “bring them to justice”.

Obama will not be able to make this go away now, IT’S TOO BIG, and makes him look utterly indifferent or playing politics with American lives, that to him are worth no more than chips on a poker table, and merely to save his own legacy. What a disgusting POS of a president. Those men that gave their lives in defiance of orders are real heros, and many Americans will never forget about this, or the comparison between these heroes and (hopefully)our short timer CIC. Damn, I am so angry.
” I have always been straight with the American people”

Absolute Bull***t as usual.
The whole Internet is on fire...he can’t ignore it much longer, but they will try. The hurricane is coming just in time for his sorry ass.
Who would believe anything that comes out of that man’s mouth at this point?? I want him sworn in under oath to answer questions in front of the American people!
I haven’t listened to Smerconish in years, but I wish I would’ve known he was having Obama on. I used to listen somewhat regularly before he turned into a liberal Obamabot.
Whatever these people say they are not doing, is EXACTLY what they are doing.
Who the heck listens to Michael Smerconish? Libs or independents (if there is even a difference)?
I think you’re right. That’s why they wanted the CIA guys to stand down. They went into the fray and Ansar al-Shariah killed the Ambassador because they saw it as a double cross.
He really doesn’t want to win this election does he? he wants to try them in a civilian courtroom, is what he won’t say yet, but is implying given his history.
Well, Smerconish will learn all about betrayal when his hero Obama pardons Mumia on his way out of the White House.
Enough of the cult of Petraeus too. That traitor had to be in the loop about the decisions made and he is utterly silent about it.
He is siding with obamas corruption, and standing against men manning a belt fed machine gun, fighting off muslim hordes. He knows they were left to die and didnt care. Screw Petraeus and every other perfumed prince who was in the loop and remains silent. Follow your oath.
If you were a pilot in an AC-130 and told to stand down, you must speak. If you were an armed drone operator, and told not to fire, your oath demands you speak. Someone was out there and was told not to fire.
Your career is less of a sacrifice than those doomed betrayed men gave.
Why else were the doomed SEALs lasing targets? You don’t use your precious battery power lasing something with no weapons available that could be brought to bear.
TREASON
The mainstream media are not covering 0bama’s traitorous actions and the coverup. Did they get a phone call from the White House?
The fact that 0bama has not been impeached proves that half the American public has its head up its a$$, that the media is complicit in the crime, and that the Republican party is a party of wimps.
If they didn’t know then, wouldn’t they know now? Is there one honest person left and will they come forward?..."
According to previous reports, 0b0z0, Biden, and Hildabeaste were in the same room at the White House when the first reports on Benghazi came in.
0b0z0 is a lyin' sack-of-shit - Biden is a joke - and Hildabeaste might just blow the whistle on 0b0z0 now, so-as to become the only truth-teller in the room.
If she wants her last shot at the W-H in 2016, she has to clean the 0b0z0-shit off herself! What a predicament ................................................ FRegards
