[QUOTE="DPI, post: 1967842, member: 793"] And it continues! Obama Refuses to Answer Repeated Questions on Whether Requests for Help in Benghazi Were Denied Update (5:53 PM ET): President Barack Obama reportedly refused to provide a direct answer to repeated questions on whether requests for help in Benghazi were denied as the attack was underway during an interview with 9News in Denver on Friday. Kyle Clark, a reporter with 9News, asked the president about the requests for help and whether or not it was fair to make Americans wait for answers on Benghazi until after the election. The election has nothing to do with four brave Americans getting killed and us wanting to find out exactly what happened, Obama said. Nobody wants to find out more what happened than I do. The president went on to say he wants to gather all the facts and find out exactly what happened and bring justice to the terrorists who attacked the U.S. mission in Libya. President Obama was directly asked twice whether pleas for help on the ground in Libya were denied during the attack. Both times, he repeated his standard call for a thorough investigation, 9News reports. Here is Obamas full response to the question: Well, we are finding out exactly what happened. I can tell you, as Ive said over the last couple of months since this happened, the minute I found out what was happening, I gave three very clear directives. Number one, make sure that we are securing our personnel and doing whatever we need to. Number two, were going to investigate exactly what happened so that it doesnt happen again. Number three, find out who did this so we can bring them to justice. And I guarantee you that everyone in the state department, our military, the CIA, you name it, had number one priority making sure that people were safe. These were our folks and were going to find out exactly what happened, but what were also going to do it make sure that we are identifying those who carried out these terrible attacks. Clarks line of questioning was seemingly different than the president usually faces from a media that has been friendly to him. The 9News reporter also asked Obama about his previous calls for more civility in the race, calling him out for calling Romney a bullsh**ter in a Rolling Stone interview. What did you mean and why did you choose that word? he asked. You know, this was a conversation after an interview, a casual conversation with a reporter, Obama explained. The basic point that Ive been talking about throughout this campaign, is people know what I mean and they know that I mean what I say and what I care about, who Im fighting for and you know a major issue in any election is can you count on the person youre putting into the Oval Office fighting for you having a clear set of convictions that they believe in. Finally, Obama was asked to address his administrations decision to give stimulus funds to Abound Solar, a Colorado company with ties to one of the presidents billionaire fundraisers. The company has since gone out of business and is now under criminal investigation, Clark reports. After laughing, Obama said: Well, Kyle, I think that if you look at our record that these loans that are given out by the Department of Energy for clean energy have created jobs all across the country and only about four percent of these loans were going to some very cutting-edge industries that are going to allow us to figure out how to produce energy in a clean, renewable way in the future and create jobs in Colorado and all around the country. This story will be updated with video of the interview as soon as it becomes available.
