President Barack Obama posed for a photo-op this morning in Virginia, where he is getting ready for tonight's presidential debate. He ventured out for a photo-op, and had this very brief exchange with reporters:
At 10:35, a black Suburban rolled by slowly, with a handful of agents trailing behind on foot. The president came next, wearing a dark suit, strolling in the center of the road. Anita Dunn was on his left. David Plouffe on his right. This pool, standing about 50 feet away, had this exchange: Reporter: "How are you feeling about tonight?" Obama, smiling: "I feel fabulous. Look at this beautiful day." Reporter: "Are you aware Michelle voted for you yesterday?" Obama, turning to yell back: "Thank goodness!" Reporter: "Is Hillary to blame for Benghazi?" Obama: Silence. Kept walking. Pool was told Obama was heading to a short debate prep session and we're heading back to the hold.
Yesterday, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said that she is responsible for the attack, because " the buck stops with her." Today, when given the opportunity to weigh in, President Obama refused to do so.
