Suddenly, it seems we have broken through the most effective executive branch cover-up and complicit media blackout in memory.
At the second presidential debate, President Obama claimed he had said in his Rose Garden talk the day after the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, that the killing of the ambassador and three other Americans constituted a terrorist attack ("Candy Crowley gets it wrong: Obama never called Benghazi a 'terror attack' in Rose Garden speech," Web, Oct. 16).
Debate moderator Candy Crowley stepped out of her purportedly neutral role in Tuesday's presidential debate by spontaneously fact-checking Mitt Romney's assertion that President Obama delayed calling the fatal Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Libya an act of terrorism. She later corrected herself, saying Mr. Romney was "right in the main" on Benghazi but that the Republican "picked the wrong word."
Despite holding numerous public events including a speech at the U.N. and two presidential debates, President Obama still hasn't publicly and plainly acknowledged to Americans that terrorists killed Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three other Americans in Libya on Sept. 11.
Really, Mr. President? Are you and your campaign team that pompous, arrogant and cash-strapped that you have sunk so low as to create a registry where die-hard Democrats getting married or celebrating an anniversary can request that family and friends make donations to your campaign in lieu of gifts? One would think the master of class warfare would at least know what class meant.
The investigation into last month's shooting death of an unarmed black teenager in an Orlando suburb is out of the hands of the beleaguered police chief and the county prosecutor with the Justice Department looking at possible civil rights violations and a grand jury perhaps considering charges.
President Obama is calling the shooting death of an unarmed black teenager in Florida a "tragedy" and says "every aspect" of the case should be investigated.
President Obama, pushed by some in his party to take a harder line on the deficit-reduction negotiations, took aim Monday at an anti-tax pledge supported by most congressional Republicans.
President Obama on Monday proposed a deficit reduction plan that calls for about $3 in new tax increases for every dollar in additional spending cuts as he seeks to put his imprint on the ongoing talks with Congress over reducing the government's staggering debt.
Powerful and deadly Hurricane Irene swept through the region early Sunday, downing hundreds of trees and knocking out power, but largely sparing area residents from widespread destruction.
President Obama on Monday lobbied for Republican support from Capitol Hill for a burst of spending on transportation projects, calling his proposal a jobs creator for the middle class and an overdue investment in the country's foundation.
We look at the children of former presidents, who married while their dads worked in the Oval Office.
Until recently, a "two-state solution" was the almost generally accepted formula for dealing with the Palestinian problem.President Bush had a vision about a "democratic, viable Palestinian state living in peace alongside Israel"; the Europeans saw it as a vindication of their long-held support for Palestinian statehood. Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni somewhat naively regards it as an all-encompassing solution for the ills affecting the Arab-Jewish relationship.
