Americans in Libya were
denied requests for help

Fox News, by Staff Original Article

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. (Snip) Woods and at least two others ignored those orders and went to the consulate, evacuating survivors and Smith, who had been killed in the initial attack. They could not find the ambassador and returned to the CIA annex at about midnight.

Will Obama’s Benghazi
Cover-Up Succeed?

Barack Obama’s prospects for re-election have been fading for some time now. As Mitt Romney surges, Obama flails, embarrassing himself with silly trivialities that are often summed up as Big Bird, binders and bayonets. That’s what happens when your record is so bad that you can’t talk about it; not truthfully, anyway. So it has been clear for a while that Obama’s re-election hopes can’t absorb another blow. Which the Benghazi story, to the extent the facts get out, surely is. That is why Obama made a decision early on to stop referring to the Benghazi debacle

A group of black farmers led by Pigford critic Eddie Slaughter has endorsed Republican John House in the race for Georgia's 2nd district. House is running against longtime Democratic incumbent and Congressional Black Caucus member Sanford Bishop. In a video posted to Facebook, Slaughter discusses the many attempts the farmers made to expose fraud in the Pigford "black farmers" lawsuit. Breitbart News reported a series of stories in 2011 about Mr. Slaughter and his claim that when Sanford Bishop was informed about Pigford fraud by a group of black farmers,

Monday's US presidential debate on foreign policy came and went. And we are none the wiser for it. Not surprisingly, at the height of the campaign season, neither US President Barack Obama nor his Republican challenger Gov. Mitt Romney was interested in revealing his plans for the next four years. But from what was said, we can be fairly certain that a second Obama term will involve no departure from his foreign policy in his current term in office. (Snip) If there was ever much to recommend it, the "sanction Iran into abandoning its nuclear weapons" policy is no longer

Campaigning in Davenport Iowa last Wednesday, Obama confidently and with serious mien held up a 20 page green Pamphlet entitled "Blueprint for America's Future." It has already been taken apart by Romney and Ryan as a "slick" repackaging of more of the same failed policies the President pushed in his first term.

In the latest issue of Rolling Stone, Obama is interviewed by Douglas Brinkley and was questioned about Ayn Rand. When asked if he had ever read Ayn Rand, Obama replied, "Sure." Then he said, "Ayn Rand is one of those things that a lot of us, when we were 17 or 18 and feeling misunderstood, we'd pick up. Then, as we get older, we realize that a world in which we're only thinking about ourselves and not thinking about anybody else, in which we're considering the entire project of developing ourselves as more important than our relationships to other people

If the powerful tropical storm formerly known as Hurricane Sandy was going anywhere but the Northeast, it would be an also-ran among the upcoming days' news feeds. But it seems aimed at New York, the center of the (media) universe. And it's approaching on a weekend, a perfect storm for excitable media with no government news to drone about. So, standby for lots of wind talk this weekend. CBS' Face the Nation headlines "Latest on Hurricane Sandy." The giveaway is that both of the show's guests are political: Sen.

CHICAGO— This generation of young Americans has been called many things, from civic-minded to "entitled." But fiscally conservative? That's a new one, and it just might have an impact on the presidential election. Listen to Caroline Winsett, a senior at DePaul University, who considers herself fairly socially liberal but says being fiscally conservative matters most right now. "Ultimately, I'm voting with my pocketbook," says Winsett, a 22-year-old political science major who's president of the DePaul student body. She recently cast an absentee ballot for Republican Mitt Romney in her home state of Tennessee.

President Obama ran into a buzzsaw yesterday while doing a round-robin of satellite interviews with local news outlets in crucial swing states -- and by "buzzsaw," I mean that rare form of species known as a "real reporter." Kyle Clark of Colorado's KUSA actually asked Obama about the latest revelations out of Libya. According to Fox News, the three requests for help made during the seven-hour attack on our consulate in Benghazi were met with orders from U.S. officials to "stand down." Wisely, Obama dodged this question entirely. I say "wisely" because,

Pensacola, Fla. - Mitt Romney swooped into Florida’s Republican-dominated panhandle Saturday to rally his conservative base, charging that President Obama was “shrinking from the magnitude of the times” and pledging to undo much of his first-term record. Romney continued his new mantra that he would bring “real change and big change to America” and promised to work across the aisle with Democrats to tackle big challenges like the growing debt. And, visiting an area heavily populated with active and retired military, Romney slammed Obama for mocking him in the last debate over his proposal to add more ships to the

Gaza City - A Gaza health official says that a panicking cow has killed a Palestinian man who was trying slaughter the beast during the Muslim celebration of Eid al-Adha. Muslims around the world slaughter sheep, cows and goats during the four-day holiday to commemorate the sacrifice by their forefather Abraham. But accidents are comment as people frequently buy animals to slaughter at home instead of relying on professional butchers. Official Ashraf al-Kidra said on Saturday that another 150 more people were hospitalised in Gaza with knife wounds or other injuries caused by animals attacking butchers or bystanders.

Kabul, Afghanistan - A new chapter of the Afghanistan war is opening with a slimmed-down Western force doing more advising than fighting, a resilient Taliban showing little interest in peace talks, and Americans tempted to pull the plug on a conflict now in its 12th year.
