Lawrence Fogliatti - October 2, 2012

This is just one more indication of Obama’s ineptitude. He is the most inadequate president this country has ever known, On top of that he is a liar with a hidden agenda He promised transparency and look what he’s given us. He’s not kept one of his promises. Duh, surprise!

Ryan - October 2, 2012

This is shameful.
Where are the answers from this administration?!
Where is the mainstream media’s outrage?!
I heard the family of Chris Stevens is still trying to get information?

Judith Reed - October 2, 2012

President Obama hasn’t been forthcoming about anything — why would he have been more forthcoming on this matter? His “transparent” government is the LEAST transparent of any president I’ve lived under.

David Wilkinson - October 2, 2012

Yes, he needs to be more forthcoming. Definitley looks like there is something to hide he does not want the public to know about. I am afraid he has been “a sleep at the wheel”. I don’t know if we will ever find out exactly what happened and if there was vigilance to keep America safe. George Bush kept us safe for 8 years after 9/11.

manfromthemountain - October 2, 2012

We need a new president badly!!! Romney/Ryan2012

Marsha Browne - October 2, 2012

He has proven on many numerous occasions of his loyalty to Radical Muslims… I believe he is one. It is OK to lie if it justifies the result you seek!

If people would get their heads out of the sand….it’s as plain as the nose on your face when you look in the mirror!!!

Gerard Durkin - October 2, 2012

It should be quite clear by now,that Obma will just about do anything to reassure his reelection.Including continued lying and covering up the truth as to what really took place in our Libian Embassy during a known terroist attack .Whats a few American lives when it comes to our dear Leader’s Government control vision for America ?

bob - October 2, 2012

I agree with L fogliatti,ryan, Judith Reed , and Marsha Browne Completely,……Oct. 2 2012

annie reeves - October 2, 2012

This guy can get away with everything!!!! Why aren’t Americans saying enough already? I could never understand how people like Hitler could convince people to stand with him but now am seeing it in person how people are still with obama!!!!!! God help us all if he is re-elected!

Richard Gaskill - October 2, 2012

Why should he start now,Obama has never been upfront with the American people about anything so far.We the people should expect the truth from our President,but we are never going to get a straight answer(the truth) from him,ever.Lets hope it does`nt cost anymore lives.

Dave - October 2, 2012

I do think the Oblamer Administration shoul dhave been more forthcoming. However, their deception is nothing new. It’s been going on since the man first opened his mouth. We will someday be surprised to learn how much damage he has caused our country, Only then, I hope Congress has the guts to hold him and his Administration accountable for their anti-American activities.

Edward Sobus - October 2, 2012

I believe his majesty will not accept responsibility for his mistakes and blame someone else. The buck never seems to make it to his desk when we know it should. I know of people with his style. They always try to insulate themselves with a blocker to take the blame when something goes wrong and it turns around to bite them in the butt. I stay clear of and warn others to do the same for people like him. They instigate a lot of trouble, but never take the blame for it.

Lincoln Craighead - October 2, 2012

I agree with Lawrence. Obama is far from “transparent”. Basically he’s a snake from Chicago sleazy politics.

Scott Welch - October 2, 2012

No question. It is far worse than Nixon and there needs to be pressure to get to the truth and before the election.

Drifter - October 2, 2012

Mistakes or purposfull action?

H. Terry Buchanan - October 2, 2012

10/2/12
How could you even ask such a question? Of course!
Mr. Obama should be called to account for his lying and dereliction of duty as the Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. His conduct should be the rationale for Impeachment!
Our Congress had better wake up to the terror assault on the U.S. – abroad and at home.

William Ryan - October 2, 2012

Obama hasn’t been forthcoming for the last nearly four years; why should we expect him to start now?

Rodney Galles - October 2, 2012

If I am not mistaken, he violated federal law when he had files deleted from the government computers. There can be no accountability when archives are altered to save face. This man despises everything about the American form of government. He has seen that the Republican Party will not stand up against him. He has gotten by with numerous crimes and no one in Congress has called him to account on the floor of the House.

Ron Hub - October 2, 2012

The demise of the United States is not too far in the future. This president bows to Kings, apologizes for the bad things (according to him) about the U.S. He does things that are not allowed under the Constitution and he gets away with it. Those that support him lack the foresight needed to see that the United States will not longer be a free country in a short time if the leftists continue the false promises of Obams.

Ellen - October 2, 2012

Obama being truthful about anything would be a shock. His entire presidency has been lies and manipulation of the truth. With the liberal media in his back pocket he has accomplished what he set out to do – fundamentally transform the U.S.. Lying about what happened in Libya was to cover up of one of the biggest scandals of his presidency. Obama’s foreign policy is to pander to our enemies and alienate our allies.

Jerry - October 2, 2012

I am very disappointed that the State Dept did not see the obvious danger to embassies in this part of the world. The question is not whether is was spontaneous or planned but why it was successful at all. We should have had better security in place. A huge failure!

Larry - October 2, 2012

Speaker Boehner should call for hearings right away. Tomorrow is not too soon. It appears to me that the four were literally fed to the wolves on purpose. The Administration needs to be held accountable for their deaths.

Pat - October 2, 2012

Yes, but he will stall off any information that could be harmful to his campaign, and the mainstream media will go along with it and not press for any truth but will accept whatever BS the White House sends them. His idea of transparency is a brick wall.

john - October 2, 2012

the reason he has not given information is because he does not know how? again – lack of leadership because of experience. he continues to waste our dollars on worthless projects, yet he has the gall to criticize.

TheRowan - October 2, 2012

This is not ineptitude, these murders lead back to this President and his administration. This blatent act of malfeasence on the part of our government to mislead the American people specifically for political reasons is reprehensable. Evidence suggesting a complete colapse of our intelligence department concerning possible threats to our Ambassador in Libya have been destroyed. Congress needs to get to the bottom of this Whitehouse’s calculated and possibably criminal handling of the Benghazi murder coverup.

Tom Corbeil - October 2, 2012

I want to know why he (Obama) is still our President?????

Jeff Yetter - October 2, 2012

“Obama” and “forthcoming” is a glaring contradiction.

Sharron Ashton - October 2, 2012

Why would he? Look at everything he’s already gotten away with. Charges of impeachment should have been filed against him after his first six weeks in office. He is a total incompetent. And the Congress… a pox on both their houses. Watched series on American Revolutionary War this weekend. Breaks my heart to see what is happening to this country. Obama has no respect for our Constitution or the Founders who bestowed on us such a precious gift.

E. MESICK - October 2, 2012

I appreciate reading the comments of seemingly intelligent
people. The media does not seem to be willing to print
comments such as these……..except Fox News.
I often wonder if people can see the charade this pres.
is trying to pull over on the American People. Please
DO NOT let him off the hook. VOTE HIM OUT !!!!!!
HE WANTS TO BRING OUR
COUNTRY TO ITS KNEES !!!!!!

Bruce Strand - October 3, 2012

Yes – but he won’t…

Rochelle - October 3, 2012

This is irresponsible! Not only should Obama and his administration have proactively strengthened the security around our embassies, but it should have been on top of the warnings! There should have been nothing to cover up! His total disregard for the safety of his embassy personnel. His total lack of understanding of the 9/11 anniversary, disarming the Marines providing some security. Any manager with this kind of evaluation would be fired. It is time for Obama and his administration to go. Before something worse happens and he does nothing.

Richard Mourey - October 3, 2012

His inaction is purely campaign oriented. He is protecting his campaign effort. He is responsible for the ambassador’s torture, rape and death. This is malfeasance. Impeachment should follow.

Alan Green - October 3, 2012

The problem w/ this admin. is the lack of experience or just plan stupidity. This situation was so obvious that even a blind man could see to walk.It is a shame that Hilary Clinton like her husband lacks the morale fortitude to do the right thing for once in her life.

Step down for being grossily incompetent at best or shamely disconnected from running the state dept.

At some point, someone has to stand up and be in charge. It is already apparent that lack of leadership from the same idiots who fostered some of the same Bank policies and stewartahip of the markets is now been brought to the state dept.

The leadership in one has collapsed the largest economy in the world, and now, the same sterling leadership has been demonstrated in the State Dept.

Steve Lyle - October 3, 2012

Your question assumes the person(s) under consideration possess a certain level of integrity. A better question would be, “Do you think the President is an honest man?”

Jim - October 3, 2012

I have long believed Obama doesn’t have common sense. When he observed the guns and grenades that should have told Obama this is the key ingredient for a terrorist attack. Obama instead sent out Rice and Clinton to blame it on a video. Blame is always needed for Obama. He can’t function without it. A president who shuns the daily briefing didn’t participate five days before the attack according to Newsmax! If we allow this shameful obtuse bureaucrat to another term in office we will deprive our children of experiencing the American Dream.
Jim

J E Houser - October 3, 2012

Do I think the President should have been more forthcoming to us? Of course, why do we have a president? To protect us. That is the ONLY reason we have a federal government. If the President would read the Constitution he would learn the ONLY function of the federal government is to protect its citizenry from outside and inside enemies.

Ray Fountain - October 3, 2012

The Obama administration and his State Department were totally derelict in their responsibility to adequately protect our embassy officials in the volatile Middle East, especially on 9/11/12. They are all now participating in a blatant and massive cover-up, which may be criminal in nature, to try to hide the truth and what they knew before and immediately after the murder of 4 of our diplomats in Benghazi. Since President Obama cancelled all of his daily Intelligence briefings for the entire week prior to the 9/11 Benghazi terrorist attack, it’s obvious he has no interest in performing his presidential duties properly. He’s only interested in campaigning right now and won’t even use the term “radical Islamists and/or terrorists” in describing the attackers.

De Ette Moon - October 3, 2012

Yes, President Obama should have been more forthcoming about the reasons behind the embassy attacks.

Debbie Anderson - October 4, 2012

Obama, the state department and whomever else in the government must be investigated and punished for not upholding their responsibilities. Another failure of Obama, right on the heels of Fast & Furious. When do the people get a resolution to this inept government?
WE NEED A NEW PRESIDENT- ROMNEY/RYAN 2012!!!!!

Larry Rambo - October 4, 2012

Though Obama is not an idiot, it seems so. All he does is lie and issue statements covering up the inept actions of his staff. He is responsible for the murder of our Embassy personnel,

Robert - October 5, 2012

The available evidence strongly suggests, and I have no doubt of its accuracy or veracity, that the two questions mentioned above will uncover culpability of the Administration on both counts. As others have so strongly stated, this is unconscionable on the part of this Administration. Decisions have consequences, and those making them should be held responsible. The President attempted in the debate to linit discussion to looking at the next four years. He did not succeed. The last four years show us what the next four would be like under Obama.

William - October 5, 2012

the president has acted like a kid on vacation from the start

William - October 5, 2012

he does not know how to be honest

Holly - October 6, 2012

Of course!! But he would not do that because he could not have faced up to the utter failure his policies which are beginning to look like no policies at all – just the burbling of the Saul Alinsky radical he is.

Martin - October 7, 2012

Obama has never been up front with the American people. The “buck stops here” meaning if he can’t lead then the American people needs to vote him out of office.

Carolyn Schill - October 8, 2012

I would prefer all in or want to be in political office to state the truth when they know it and not manipulate the timing before or after elections. We the people deserve to know the truth not political versions of the truth. There are people that would like to kill Americans, and to think otherwise is nieve.

Barbara - October 15, 2012

Where is the transparency that Obama promised would be part of his administration’s policy?
