| One of the presidential debate questioners told Fox News that President Obama came up to him afterward to clarify why he took so long to say the Libya consulate attack was a terror strike. Kerry Ladka, one of the last questioners at Tuesday night's town hall-style debate, said, "He [Obama] said he really wanted to take the time to be deliberate, to make sure he had all the information." During the debate, Obama noted that he referred to "acts of terror" the day after the Libya attack. However, it took the president and his advisers more than a week

Comments: So he sort of told Ladka the truth after the debate was over.
Ladka opined that he thought maybe Obie held back "for public consumption".

what a guy! Thousands heard his rose garden remarks and did not hear him say this was a terrorist act. How is he going to explain Rice and her many statements, Clinton's statement plus the advertisement paid for by Americans saying this was due to a film. Also, why hasn't the film maker been released. Lies, upon lies, upon lies!

Greta Van Susteren has it on her Gretawire:
This posting updates the GretaWire posting at 3:25pm.
My FNC colleage Sarah Courtney just spoke to Kerry Ladka (the man who asked the Libya question at last night’s Presidential debate.) I have highlighted in red text what I think odd — why did he pedal that video/protest story? The terrorism happened Sept 11…..and the President was pedaling it as late as Sept 18 on David Letterman and then September 25 at the UN. It is weird that he is saying that he wanted ‘all the information’ yet was going out with, at best, misinformation.

How did THEY know it was a U-tube clip?
And they had argued with State Dept HQ about releasing the appology before they published it.
This part needs to come out on Monday also.

Re #14, the ambassador to Egypt was not in Cairo when the embassy there was attacked. She was in Washington, DC for four days. Her charge d'affairs is the one who released the "apology". It was this apology that prompted Mitt Romney's remarks which he put on hold until midnight because of the "nothing from either campaign on 9/11" agreement.

That apology by the ambassador's charge d'affaires was to the protestors for having offended them (with the video). This is what Mitt Romney objected to. It has become so twisted by O&Co that no one even remembers what it was about. Now it is just called "Romney politicking".

The attack in Benghazi came later the night of 9/11. 9:40 as I recall. That could have resulted in some complication re Mitt Romney's statement after the Cairo attack and apology .... the statement that was held for some hours, but surely was time stamped.

(I suspect the fellow was a bit awed by The President engaging him in a conversation??? Maybe he'll come to his senses, if he has any???)
Romney MUST lay out the entire scenario beginning with Charlene Lamb and others watching the attack "in real time" as the atrocity was in process.
If BO & Co., Inc. was so intent on "getting it right," "getting all the facts," why the heck did BO & Co., Inc. repeatedly utter the lie about the utube?

I'm confused even more so than usual by these changing stories. During the debate, assisted by Candy Crowley, the President insisted that, Yes, he had attributed the attacks to terrorism on Sept. 12 in the Rose Garden speech. Then he speaks to the questioner, and tells him that he held off attributing the attacks to terrorism because he wanted to get all the facts before speaking. Sounds to me as if he contradicted himself in his little one-on-one with the questioner.

These are trying times. Never in the history of this country have we been so weakened and polarized by what many view as deliberate government policy. Now anti-gunners in the U.S. Congress, the Obama administration, and legislatures across the country are seeking to exploit the Newtown tragedy to promote their “gun control” agenda that envisions federal, universal background checks on gun purchases, and that could lead to gun registration and confiscation. At the same time, the increasing militarization of law enforcement, most visibly demonstrated by the growing use of massive, SWAT-type raids on businesses and individuals, sometimes with federal

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

Gluten-free diets are all the rage, but they can be dangerous if not done right. What is gluten? It´s the spongy complex of proteins, found naturally in wheat, rye, and barley, that gives elasticity to dough and allows it to rise. When flour is moistened and either kneaded or mixed into dough, gluten molecules form an elastic, microscopic latticework that traps the carbon dioxide produced when yeast ferments, causing dough to inflate like a hot air balloon. Baking hardens the gluten, which helps the finished product keep its shape. Wheat — and gluten — is ubiquitous in the American diet.
