I don’t believe you Obama. Not one f***in’ word. You’re not worthy of the honorific “President”. You are a disgrace.
Let’s see. Bush did it. The Republicans cut off funding. 0bama was never told until it was over. 0bama just said nothing.
0bama did tell the Denver reporter that when he first found out, he did three things- order forces to ‘secure’ all personnel, demand an investigation, and bring those responsible for the attack to justice. If, after first finding out, why would he ask for an investigation, during an action in progress, unless he first found out after the fight was over? But, if he ordered forces to secure the personnel, they still must have been alive. His statements are inconsistent because his answers reflect actions taken at different times. He has been caught in a lie.
The first question that needs to be asked is if the White House received a request for help. If they did and the president decided to do nothing then they would also have not “turned down” the request - but the result would be the same
Saying that they did not turn down a request for help could easily be parsing words. Technically true - maybe they did not actively deny a reauest - but not accurate in that the result is the same.
Technically that may be different from denying them, depending on the definition of "is", blah blah blah. SecDef Panetta (Clinton's chief of staff during the Lewinsky era) is doubtlessly telling Zero exactly how to dodge this.
Well, B. Hussein made the tough decision to vote “present!”.
Obama: Right away. Give me a grid.
Americans fighting for their lives: We're pinned down on a rooftop! Send air support!
Obama: No can do. Please die discretely. Election season you know.

Mr President, since you recently proclaimed that Mr Romney is a bullshitter, I suppose it would be ok if I declared that you are full of shit as you answer these questions. May the souls of the four who died rest in peace. And I just am with amazement that you still have nearly 50% of the American people fooled with your ‘Elmer Gantry’ tactics.....
Why couldn’t Obama just answer the questions? Is it to avoid audio that Romney could use? Does he honestly think NOT answering is better than denying? The fact that Obama did not deny this outright tells me enough.
This gets more Unreal by the moment. So now we’re to believe that neither the CIA, the State Dept., nor even the White House denied these requests for help. Who’s left??? Were these people waiting for Mars and Jupiter to send assistance???
Why does the so-called President of the United States have time for late-night talkshows and “radio interviews” yet no time for press conferences or intel briefings????
May God help us in the coming weeks.
This is BS. The U.S. government denied a request for assistance. Obama runs the U.S. government. Therefore Obama denied assistance.
President probably only denied immediate action and was looking for an alternative.
No matter how red-handed they are caught.
What in the heck is up with Drudge today? Are they going to put this new information up at some point?
Read the wording carefully .... (the is lawyer speak
quote “Neither the president nor anyone in the White House denied any requests for assistance in Benghazi”
um... yeah ... technically the 2nd in command that releaved the general that was going to disobey orders (from the white house) and help, denied the request for assistance!
This is tricky Clinton type talk.
“......a White House spokesman emphatically denied that President Obama had denied requests for help during the Benghazi attack.”
I don’t think the parsing works in this case. Every ORDER to every military asset, ordering them to STAND DOWN, was a DENIAL of the help they were PLEADING FOR!
Benghazigate seems to be growing longer legs by the minute, and the LSM will have no choice but to cover it.
Interestingly, the comments on the Yahoo story overwhelmingly indicate that those posting are FURIOUS about 0sama's cowardice. Usually Yahoo posters are a bunch of Leftist sycophants, but not tonight. Last I looked, there were over 13,000 posts! Support for TOTUS seems to be crunbling everywhere... but let's keep working like we're 2 points behind.
If I remember correctly (maybe someone can help me out with this), there were reports that a small contingent of Libyans were dispatched (police/militia) to the location of the Americans some time the first day.
Perhaps this is how the administration is justifying the statement that they did not "deny any requests for assistance". They had the full resources of the US military at their disposal to launch a rescue, and our people no doubt expected just such a mission, and instead Barry sent in some Libyan rent-a-cops.
I believe that's the word game they're playing by denying that assistance was "denied".
Perhaps someone can help find the reports where there was talk of some Libyans sent to the scene.
