Congratulations and thanks to Denver’s 9News reporter Kyle Clark, who asked President Barack Obama the hardest questions I’ve ever heard him asked.

Kyle Clark’s first question to Obama: “Were the Americans under attack at the consulate in Benghazi Libya denied requests for help during that attack? And is it fair to tell Americans that what happened is under investigation and we’ll all find out after the election?”

Seriously, why don’t more reporters have both the courage and the decency to ask the questions that need to be asked. Clark didn’t stop there, asking more hard questions which clearly had Obama, so used to sycophants, wondering how he ever got booked on a news channel with a real reporter.

Obama’s answers regarding Benghazi were a complete dodge of the most important questions he’s ever been asked.

His answers regarding Abound Solar (another hard-hitting question) were more leftist utopian platitudes about “wind, solar, and biomass.” And his answer about why he called Romney a “bullshitter” was, ironically enough, made of a certain type of rhetorical animal refuse.

Link here, video below:

Again, I say thanks and congratulations to Kyle Clark.

From PJM article today....

In the upper chamber, though, a Senate GOP aide told PJM that the outcome of legislators’ efforts is predictable — and dependent upon who wins the White House.

“If Obama wins, it’s over,” the aide said. “The House will hold hearings to ensure that as many aspersions as possible are cast on the character of the administration. But nothing will come of it.”

“If Romney wins, the House hearings will end in a report and Romney will say ‘never again.’”

This is what are nation has come to...
Perhaps, the cynics here are correct and I have been the fool all along. If this does not sink them and there is no accountability or truth telling, we are sunk.

NOTHING to this level of corruption both in government and the MSM HAS EVER happened to this level in my lifetime.

Well, if he loses, Obama will be issuing plenty of pardons before leaving office. I wonder, does he have the power to pardon himself?

mike 3/505| 10.27.12 @ 10:15AM

He has to resign, Biden take over & then Biden pardons him. Like Ford, Nixon.

No that will never happen! The only answer is for the American people/voters to vote their entire Republican ticket on 11/6/12, thereby removing the whole bunch of them from power over this nation!!!!!!!!!!

Ross,

Bully for this local reporter asking REAL questions of our "president", but in the end he dropped the ball because he let obama drone on and on AND he never asked followup questions.

He asked the questions, however, which is more than what the national reporters are willing to do.

The pointed questions by the reporter, Kyle Clark, had Obam moving his head in jerking motions. He doesn't look very confident when asked tough questions and he no doubt is very aware of some bad internal polling numbers that I think he's getting.

Did you notice the barely disguised laugh before he answered when he was asked the question about the company that received money owned by a billionaire contributor?

Oldefarte| 10.27.12 @ 2:10PM

Again repeating myself, why bother with this type scenerio? He/they are only going to LIE if questioned, so it's useless to even attempt to obtain answers. This nation is under siege and has been so since 11/4/08. Do your duty...vote Republican 11/6/12!!!!!!

Sometimes, I wonder if they think they can push hard and fool enough people to be re-elected to keep all their scandals and criminality under wraps.
I have nothing but contempt for this man, and his criminal crew.

Besides, this guy looks'high' as a kite in this pic!

November 7th is when we find out if we have a country left anymore.

handsoff| 10.28.12 @ 1:16AM

The questions were good, but he phrased them in such a way that BO got away with utterly nonsensical political ad non-responses. If Clark was truly "hard hitting", why did he not comment or re frame or repeat the questions that never got answered?

Stan Redmond| 10.28.12 @ 3:36PM

Obama might answer if you rephrase the question:

"Mr. President, who will be getting the medal for courageous restraint for not deploying anyone to defend our embassy?"

And where is Valery Jerret in all this. I bet that evil troll has her fingers as deep in this mess as she does up Obamas.... Never mind.
