Obama Blames Fox News For Benghazi During Pre-SuperBowl Interview

[OldUSAFSniper]

I think Barry's issue is so obvious that its unbelievable. Barry was and still is an amateur. He has no idea what he is doing or how to lead. The man never ran so much as a koolaid stand before becoming President and his actions reflect it. He's also a massive narcissist. He just can't believe that people aren't just literally falling all over themselves to believe him, regardless of what he says.

I watched the interview. I knew that Barry would sidestep any hard questions and do what he does best. It's not my fault, it's YOUR fault. You keep bringing it up even though its not an issue and its a nonissue because I say its a nonissue. Benghazi: nonissue. IRS: nonissue. Obamacare: nonissue. NSA: nonissue. It was predictable. O'Reilly did better than anyone else because he's at least got the cajones to ask the questions even though he won't get an answer to them.

I have found myself less and less able to watch Barry. I only pray that this country can survive this man's incompetence until he is ceremoniously walked out the door. I'm afraid that he will leave scars that will never heal...

anyone surprised Obama is attacking and trying to shut up the NUMBER ONE news station the people watch?

that's what any thug would do

Yep, a whole 3 million families.
That oughta keep Obama from winning a second term.
Oops! It DIDN'T!.

Fox is the number 1 Cable News outlet. They should have known that something was going down in Benghazi. Covering up for their inneptnes does not prove anything

Someone at Fox should take the fall for this

So should the Obama administration have known, and they have a lot bigger Army than Fox news. The people that knew in the Obama administration were promoted for lieing about the attack.
Don't you think CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS AND NBC should have done something as well, or did they not know?

Deflection

I'm tired of rightwingers covering for FoxNews ineptness in Benghazi. Any quality news organization should have been able to report the pending attack. Did Fox cover up an attack they knew was coming?

FoxNews dropped the ball big time on Benghazi

So Fox has access to highly classified intelligence?

Get real guy. It's not up to news organizations to protect our State Department employees.

Next you'll be saying that Fox should run the IRS and the NSA because Obama isn't up to the job.

 

[mudwhistle]

You right wingers place all of your trust in a news channel owned by a Saudi Prince and an Aussie billionaire with a power seeking agenda who wants to destroy liberals and who seeks to distract you with non-issues.

Benghazi should never have been an issue. Fox made it one. That's what they do to distract low information voters from the really important stuff - like jobs going overseas, and the ongoing transfer of wealth to guys like Rupert Murdoch.

Do you really think that the murder of a US Ambassodor and three other Americans are not an issue? An attack on a US Consulate in a foreign country is an act of war.

As is populating a diplomatic consulate with spies or overthrowing a government.

Yeah, and it's all Bush's fault, or Fox News, or the Tea Party.

Bill O'Reilly shouldn't interview this guy, especially before the Super Bowl. All it does is give him a chance to lie even more. He actually blamed what people think of his conduct after Benghazi on Fox News. Interviewing him only gives him a form of legitimacy.

libs claim republicans keep dumping on Obama. they haven't hit him hard enough. the press gives him a pass. liberals are apologists and feel Obama can do no wrong. the republicans need to take it to him hard. this clown needs to be held accountable for his countless screw ups and bad decisions

Oh c'moooon bubble head, is that the best limp lipped, empty gazed, slack jawed insult you can come up with?

The pictures contain "QUOTES," which I notice you took NO opportunity to DISPUTE. Typical leftard tactic, talk your pathetic SHIT and then move on.

Well, I've got one for you, dumbass... FUCK OFF.

Quotes taken out of context for maximum effect by people who think that making meme style pictures is legitimate political comment. Probably people who think that putting 2 words together to make their own new word like Dumbocrite, Libtard or Islamofascist are also legitimate political points. Do try harder next time.

Obama didn't want anyone to think he was lying about winning the war against al Qaeda, so they made up this story about a video being the cause. The real cause was lax security and a fear of failure after the attack began. This is bad enough, but since the attack the administration has been involved in a cover-up. Nixon wash't impeached for breaking into the Watergate hotel. He was impeached for covering it up and lying about it.

This is just completely wrong on so many levels.

The whole "Arab Spring" thing and unrest in the Middle East?

Yeah..that's Bush's fault.

And you folks were warned this was going to happen.

Only to a warped mind.

We've found out that Obama knew within the first 24 hrs it was not some protest. Yet he chose to tell the world it was for weeks. He never admitted to screwing it up. He even arrested the producer of that video.

What is wrong is this failure by his supporters to face the truth. They never question any bold-faced lie he makes. The latest is his claim that Fox dreamed up the whole thing.

It's just a pattern you refuse to see.

 

[iamwhatiseem]

Imagine that...a thread on USMB where the debate is "your side did it too".."oh yeah..well your side is mean"...oh yeah?...well your side...

Ho hum

 

[mudwhistle]

Bill Clinton would never admit he lied under oath till they produced the dress. We can't question any of the eye-witnesses because they would show Obama is lying.

Fox and conservatives I believe are in the right about Benghazi, that is that there is more to it than we were told (clearly) - but it doesn't matter.
100 people could have been killed that day and nothing would be any different. The left media was all over this story at the beginning because they thought it was about an anti-Islamic video. But then...doubt surfaced. Conflicting reports, one top official said one thing, while another said something in total contrast. So at this point of COURSE the media would REALLY get on top of it right? No. They abandoned the story like poison. They repeated Carney talking points and moved on. Fox did not.
So what does the left do? They demonize Fox for not accepting their version despite a LOT of inconsistencies and outright data showing the opposite.
We are almost completely a divided nation now. And one side would rather defend a member of their team, even if wrong, then admit the other side might be right.

In the next race if the Republicans make Benghazi a talking point they will lose. The left doesn't care - and the rest of America think the story is about some guy named Ben with a funny last name.

Gee, O'Reilly wouldn't be much of Journalist (of course he works for Murdoch which requires many things but rarely journalistic integrity) if he didn't do his homework and allowed his 'guests' to lie. The fact that Fox News is all partisan all of the time is a good indication that President Obama has the integrity to express his convictions, knowing full well he will not be tossed soft balls as "gotcha" questions will be the main course.

Consider people like Jim DeMint, Bob McDonnel, Palin, Huckabee and others on the far right who only allow Fox to interview them, they get soft ball questions, many of which are answers in the form of a question (and never put them in jeopardy).

It's just a pattern you refuse to see.

The pattern following the release of the infamous video was one of violent protests throughout the Middle East and N. Africa, how does anyone know that it was not the catalyst (or excuse) for the attack in Benghazi?

Do you have any evidence that the film was not the spark which lead to the attack? Has anyone interviewed the attackers? aren't they the only credible source?

 

[Stephanie]

My gawd, anyone tired of the wrongwhiner/sallow clown act in every thread about Obama?

 

[rightwinger]

Connect the dots . . . . . .

Fox is owned by a Saudi Prince
The Saudi Prince is Muslim
Protesters in Benghazi were Muslim

Is it really that hard to believe that Fox was involved and could have stopped it?

How do we know? We don't. Except that it happened on 9/11, and they just happened to bring RPGs, mortars, and machine-guns to the rally. Then the fact that Obama refuses to allow any actual witnesses to be questioned.

Other than that, Obama could be telling the truth. Nothing to see here.

Please post the Presidents exact words from the interview to back up your claim.

 

[Spoonman]

didn't these guys also request extra security more than one and get denied?

 

[Stephanie]

If Fox was a decent News agency they would have reported that Benghazi was going to happen. What did they know? When did they know it?

Failure on the part of FoxNews

Oh, so Fox should replace the CIA!!!
