Since it's certain some people in the White House did know, Obama is admitting nobody saw fit to tell him. Who is making those decisions about what Obama is and is not going to be told?

In today's modern electronic world, there is no possible way he wasn't aware of the attack, the rape, beating and killing of our citizen's there at the consulate.... How our media and country can almost entirely ignore this travesty is beyond my understanding.... I don't care if you're left, right, or otherwise! This is unacceptable!

Be a leader, ABC. The American people want the truth about Benghazi. We are not falling for the STONE-WALLING from the Pres. Ask him about the inconsistencies in his comments. WHO sent Susan Rice out with what we know to be misleading information?? PLEASE demand answers, those in the White House Pres Corps – those responsible for providing investigative reporting for ABC.

That it seems is a Presidential decision. Any person in the military or serving our country in any way can not feel safe with President Obama in the WH. He has proven he could care less about you, it's his campaign and his image all over the world that comes first. You getting killed is just an bump in the road or not optimal for his campaign at the moment and he can easily blame it on someone else.

Plenty of Romney stickers out in the parking lot though. Obama is done, and should be impeached immediately.

In Pennsylvania, Romney has led in only one poll in 2012. You also ignore the fact that Democrats normally turn out less in years when there are no presidential elections. Just because Republicans turned out more than Democrats in 2010 does not mean that Democrats will stay home in 2012.

Like the story ready Obama was +8 in 08. However in the midterm elections the electorate was even. No rational person would deny that there is less enthusiasm for the President this cycle. SO I would estimate anywhere from a +2-+5 Dem advantage, So if Obama is up 4 in a D+8 sample its likely an even race. It all depends on how many votes come out of Dem strongholds like Cleveland. In reply to Anthony, if Obama would squeek out Ohio it doesnt mean he wins the election. A recent poll showed Romney tied in Wisconsin. Romney is up in NC, VA, FL. If Romney wins CO and NH (even in polls) and carries Wisconsin he still wins. If Romney moves PA and either CO or NH he wins. PA doesnt have early in person voting and the Allegheny region (white working class) is not enthusiastic about Obama. If Obama doesnt carry the Philly suburbs or turnout drops in Philly, look for the central and western parts of the state to carry Romney to victory.

But at the state level the race has not really changed. Romney may be ahead in Florida, but that is not enough. Obama is winning Ohio, and therefore the election.
