Associated Press reporter Julie Pace told the Special Report panel on Fox News that his clipped response when asked about Benghazi Friday showed his discomfort with the topic that has beleaguered his administration for nearly a year.
Fox News correspondent Ed Henry asked Obama about his promise to hold the attackers responsible for the Benghazi terrorist attack last September:
BRET BAIER: Julie, Ed Henry asked about Benghazi and the president September 12th of last year saying that those responsible will be brought to justice. Take a listen to his answer.
OBAMA: I also said that we’d get bin Laden and i didn’t get him in 11 months. So we have informed, I think, the public that there’s a sealed indictment. It’s sealed for a reason, but we are intend on capturing those who carried out this attack, and we’re going to stay on it until we get him. This remain a top priority for us.
BAIER: A top priority. Julie, back story there or thoughts on that answer?
PACE: I think that no one wants to capture the people responsible for the attack in Benghazi more than the white house, if for no other reason than it may put an end to the questions of why they haven’t been able to capture any of these people, and hopefully from their point of view put an end to some of the questions about who was responsible and what actually happened that night. I think, though, that it was very interesting to just listen to the president’s words and listen to his body language, watch his body language. Often when he answers questions in these press conferences, he’s very expansive in his answers. When he answered that question on Benghazi, it was a very short, tight, concise answer. Clearly something he didn’t want to necessarily be talking about today.
ARREST them...? HAHAHAH..!
The man is utterly DESPERATE to NOT get any of the culprits, and they have known the names and their general location for almost ONE YEAR NOW.
That would be like asking Bill Clinton to drive Juanita Broadderick to a major press conference about HER RAPE.
Like asking Hillary to get to the bottom of the Vince Foster “suicide” in Fort Marcy Park.
UTTERLY RIDICULOUS.
I don’t get what good a “sealed indictment” does. Can’t we just kill foreigners that commit acts of terrorism on American citizens?
Interesting. He referred to Bin Laden when asked about Benghazi.
I thought he was squirming because he had to go potty. ;-)
Not only doesn’t Obama want to talk about Benghazi, he can’t even spell it.
That’s the Chicago way! - “I know nothing; I see nothing; I hear nothing!”
Come to think of it, that also sounds like Hillary Clinton, Susan Rice, Gen. Martin Dempsey, DNI Clapper; Brennan; and others in the Obama regime.
Methinks it is contagious.
Yup, YOU certainly got him, Super-Pres. All by yourself. You donned your red cape and flew out to Pokeystan and took out the washed up, neutered, Porn-watching, old geezer. Hoo-rah... The world is a better place due to your magnificence...
And then and your Court Jester, Biden, sold out the real men who accomplished the task.
Go pound sand you worthless, sack of ... manure...
We may or may not agree on the reasons why he does NOT want to bring these guys to justice but I believe you are right here. He does not want to identify the attackers.
My reason: Identifying the attackers would identify the organization and the sponsors.
Three possibilities:
1. It's actually al Qaeda. That's embarrassing. They're supposed to be decimated and on the run.
2. It's not al Qaeda. Could be Iran. How about Russia or Syria. How about all three. They have the stake - stop the flow or weapons to the Syrian rebels.
3. It's Egypt. Our old buddy Morsi with some screwball plan to swap for the loony blind shiek. Maybe even with a nod from Obama.
I'm betting on 2. Place your bets.
So who is going to keep him accountable if there is no pushback from Isa and his ilk?
Why did Hillary and Obama use US taxpayer funded personnel, equipment and facilities to overthrow the government of Libya. Why did they then use US taxpayer funds to produce, star in and air a commercial for the Middle East apologizing for a video that they knew caused nothing? Using taxpayer money to cover up bad political decisions is a no no.
Right, Mitch?
He’s afraid of the question , Where were you during the Benghazi attack ?
IMHO, it’s way past time to appoint a hard-ass prosecutor with large, brass cojones to go after these treasonous bastards.
or perhaps a 4...O set up the ambassador to get kidnapped for a trade...
Impeachment File on Communist, Benghazi Coward “B. Hussein Obama,” formerly known as Barry Soetoro, currently a Legal Citizen of the Sovereign Nation of Indonesia.
If they were "decimated" that means 1 out of 10....so the other 9 are still alive and killing.
I concur. I’m cut right down the middle regarding the extra-Libyan sponsor of Bengazi; Iran or Russia, though it could be both.
This is playing out a little like OkBomb; pre-blast the gummint agent-provocateurs were treasured, yet post-blast they became liabilities, and so were disposed of or ignored.
The writer of the John Doe II Times discovered the full name of John Doe II, and printed his address on flyers, which he distributed far and wide to the authorities, even posting them on telephone poles in the culprit’s own NEIGHBORHOOD:
The cover-up evidence was smooshed right into the face of the MSM and Uncle Sam, who simply WILLED himself to not see —here we all know that’s the deepest form of blindness...
The Bengazi attackers are now USguv kryptonite, and GayMuzzie will make great hay in public about fancy documents and legal maneuvering to “get the culprits” while keeping the American public in the dark.
I’m amazed that there was that one MSM interview of one of them —I’m sure that outfit’s WH access is now totally shot.
A question:
WHAT GOOD is WH access if it’s price is an expectation of TOTAL SILENCE...?
Translation: He sent them a text not to ask any Benghazi questions.
Maybe he was actually going potty ... :))
Mayhap
I don’t get what good a “sealed indictment” does. Can’t we just kill foreigners that commit acts of terrorism on American citizens?
The President with the kill list afraid to kill perpetrators of violence against our sovereign embassies. Hey, but he got bin Laden after delaying for a year.
Thanks Kaslin.
Yeah, I’m betting on Iran too.
Yeah, I’m betting on Iran too. Or that somehow the Chinese are involved...
