Obama Avoids Question On Whether Americans In Libya Were Denied Requests For Help -- FOX News
President Obama declined to answer directly whether a CIA annex was denied urgent requests for military assistance during the deadly attacks last month on U.S. outposts in Libya.
The president did not give a yes-or-no answer Friday when asked pointedly whether the Americans under attack in Benghazi, Libya, were denied requests for help during the attack.
Fox News has also learned that a request from the CIA annex for backup was later denied.
“The election has nothing to do with the four brave Americans getting killed and us wanting to find out exactly what happened,” the president said in TV interview with an NBC affiliate in Colorado.

My Comment: After pushing the false narrative that this was due to an anti-Muslim video .... President Obama has learned that what he says will have consequences, and to best let the investigation and analysis of the attack unfold without his public input. Unfortunately for him .... it appears that the damage has already been done. As I have said on more than one occasion, the optics on how the White House has treated this story are terrible .... when it should not have been. And while there are other reasons on why his poll numbers have sunk in the past two weeks, I am sure that the Benghazi response has not helped. But what more can I say .... as an outsider and non-American the dynamics of U.S. Presidential elections have always fascinated me, but why they went down this road is something that we will probably not know until a few years after this administration is gone .... but when the details are released, I will definitely be all ears.
