Election Night | Elections | Politics. YouTube. Jennifer Griffin Recounts Harrowing Benghazi Tale as Father of Slain SEAL Demands Answers. Fox News’ Jennifer Griffin appeared on America’s Election HQ today to discuss the Benghazi attacks through the lens of one of her sources, who apparently recounted a number of brutal details about how the situation unfolded on September 11. Griffin said her source detailed a frantic situation, with Washington repeatedly (and bewilderingly) telling American forces to “stand down,” and with promised reinforcements failing to arrive in spite of being well within striking distance.

The source in question was reportedly stationed at the local CIA annex, where a sizable number of US forces were holed up after being told to “stand down” and avoid danger, rather than attempt to mount a rescue for the survivors. Starting at 9:40 PM, these soldiers asked the base chief for permission to help at the consulate. The chief told them to “stand down” as he was trying to arrange Libyan help for the mission. He apparently failed. The troops asked his permission again at 10:30 PM. Retired Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer: My Sources Say Obama Was in the Room Watching Benghazi Attack Happen. Retired Army Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer said Saturday he has sources saying President Barack Obama was in the room at the White House watching the assault on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya unfold. Two unarmed U.S. drones were dispatched to the consulate and recorded the final hours of the attack, which killed U.S.

Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens and three other Americans. “This was in the middle of the business day in Washington, so everybody at the White House, CIA, Pentagon, everybody was watching this go down,” Shaffer said on Fox News’ “Justice with Judge Jeanine.” “According to my sources, yes, [Obama] was one of those in the White House Situation Room in real-time watching this.” Shaffer served as a senior operations officer for the Defense Intelligence Agency in Afghanistan in 2003 and wrote a book critical of the policies there. Shaffer said the question now is what precisely Obama did or didn’t do in the moments he saw the attack unfolding. Col. Pro-Obama Ad Has Children Singing About an America Where ‘Sick People Just Die’ & ‘Oil Fills the Sea’ Image source: The Future Children Project The founders of the ad agency behind the iconic “Got Milk?” Ad campaign and some of the other most well-known advertisements in the country have a new message: re-elect President Barack Obama, or your children will live in an America where “sick people just die” and “oil fills the sea.”

A two-minute black-and-white spot features a chorus of children — “the children of the future” — singing to their parents that “something happened to our country, and we’re kinda blaming you.” A few other choice lyrics: “The Earth is cracked, Big Bird is sacked and the atmosphere is frying.” The ad is the brainchild of Jeff Goodby and Rich Silverstein, of the San Francisco-based Goodby Silverstein & Partners, for their Future Children Project.

EXCLUSIVE: CIA operators were denied request for help during Benghazi attack, sources say. Fox News has learned from sources who were on the ground in Benghazi that an urgent request from the CIA annex for military back-up during the attack on the U.S. consulate and subsequent attack several hours later on the annex itself was denied by the CIA chain of command -- who also told the CIA operators twice to "stand down" rather than help the ambassador's team when shots were heard at approximately 9:40 p.m. in Benghazi on Sept. 11.

Former Navy SEAL Tyrone Woods was part of a small team who was at the CIA annex about a mile from the U.S. consulate where Ambassador Chris Stevens and his team came under attack.

Mitt Romney squared off Wednesday night at the University of Denver in Colorado for the first of three highly anticipated presidential debates. The topic of the evening? Domestic policy (i.e. the U.S. economy). The debate was both lively and pointed, with a handful of memorable sound bites and “zingers,” but there were also a few moments where both Gov. Here are the top five “untruths” and “fibs” from Wednesday night’s debate: Romney Wants to Cut Taxes by $5 Trillion President Barack Obama: Gov. This isn’t entirely accurate. “Obama’s claim that Romney wants to cut taxes by $5 trillion doesn’t add up. Gov. However, the GOP candidate also claims he will pay for tax cuts by a) reducing or eliminating tax credits, b) deductions, and c) exemptions.

The only problem here, which President Obama rightly notes, is the fact that Gov. America’s ‘Two Wars’ Again, there’s something that should be corrected.

A teleprompter displays the last lines of a speech by US President Barack Obama, after he spoke on the economy in 2011. (Photo: AFP/Getty Images) There are many ideas floating around as to why President Obama underperformed in last Wednesday’s debate against Republican challenger Mitt Romney. Al Gore thinks the altitude may have something to do with it, while Bill Maher has suggested the president may have gotten high before the battle of wits.

Rush Limbaugh and many in the conservative media, however, say Romney’s ideas are simply superior, and Obama has nothing in his record he can defend. Well, now a new excuse is being peddled. Apparently, some consider it “unfair” that President Obama wasn’t able to use his now-infamous teleprompter. Watch Rebel Pundit interview some of the president’s most loyal supporters at an Obama for America rally in Wisconsin Thursday, via Breitbart, for more: “How unfair was it for the Debate Commission to not allow the president to use his teleprompter?”

Obama has to wait until campaign rally to challenge Mitt Romney. After getting thoroughly destroyed in the debate Wednesday, Barack Obama decided (better late than never?) To go after Mitt Romney. Of course his ‘attack’ was just as lame as it was during the debate. Will it do him any good? During a campaign stop, Obama said, “When I got onto the stage I met this very spirited fellow who claimed to be Mitt Romney. But it couldn’t have been Mitt Romney, because the real Mitt Romney has been running around the country all year promising $5 trillion in tax cuts for the wealthy. “The real Mitt Romney said we didn’t need more teachers in our classrooms,” Obama continued. Pat and Stu were not buying into Obama’s attempts to criticize Mitt Romney, especially when he couldn’t get it done in the debate.

“You show me once where he’s ever said that, not just running around the country saying it all over. “Mitt Romney wants the teacher situation taken care of at the local level. “Listen to what this guy is saying.
