The -- tonight at the Obama forces around the country are hoping.

Allegations of a cover up in Libya involving the assassination of the American ambassador there.

Will hurt the president's reelection chances first a time line.

On September 11 US ambassador to Libya Cris Stevens was assassinated and then Gaza.

On September 12 pres Obama condemned the attack and then flew to Las Vegas for a campaign event.

On September 68 US ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice -- the assassination.

A spontaneous.

Attack.

But the same day -- top Libyan officials said the assassination was pre plan.

On September 19 Matthew -- director of the president's counterterrorism unit confirmed.

That the assassination was indeed a terror attack.

So why did it take eight days for the US government to confirm.

Fox News analyst Pat Caddell is -- -- about it.

Every president either party I don't care where -- would Jimmy Carter Bill Clinton or George Bush or Ronald Reagan.

Or George H.

W.

Bush had had a terrorist incident.

Think got on an airplane after report after saying -- and blown off Kuwait fund raiser in Las Vegas baby would have been crude supply.

It would have been it should have been -- moment Barack will be equivalent of for Barack Obama.

-- George Bush is flying over Katrina moment.

But nothing was said the -- And nothing will be said what is now his district bill.

So you think this is an organized press suppression of this story.

Well organ not whether it's organized and as a straight conspiracy and everybody's in on their old doing it -- it's conscience it's a purposeful conscious effort.

To suppress news of -- heard Obama and we -- going down.

A slippery slope here what bill we've had liberal bias or -- bias in the press for a long time permitting.

But it's gotten -- is starting in 2008 but now we have oppressed and actively engage is in the reelection.

Putting out a narrative that did that Romney is a loser you know they're running polls among god they're using -- negative -- -- wrong.

But movement but -- so my issue here more importantly they've not only decide to support -- -- on this issue the last.

Two weeks will we see is it perhaps this is decided that it will not tell the American people the -- -- not only -- -- -- -- may not vote for.

But who now telling the people.

What truth they may know -- -- truth they may not know.

OK but what is the truth look.

We've covered this story responsibly here on the fact all right you have but I -- take it up to where the facts why that's why give the timeline.

And the other thing is unfortunately the folks who care about the story.

They don't the massive amount of people in America not the people who watch cable news -- -- to talk radio.

But just the folks watching dancing with stars in the NFL in world wrestling.

Don't care about the Libyan story they don't care about the ambassador unfortunately so it's hard to -- -- And care well if you don't help them and how will they can't they well look let me just say that -- had an incident where you know -- -- day after we talked about this you know we have over twenty countries -- demonstrations.

Embassy rot in writing our embassies and so -- around the globe right he big none of the news -- you -- -- -- -- some of always -- some of them.

That a movie that movie that that orchestrated all of these things in Egypt and other countries that was publicized for a couple of days.

But here here's the problem with the story you tell me how to coverage right here's a problem.

Rice screwed up no doubt right the UN ambassador Susan Rice which absolute -- she was -- how you do that but we don't know by who.

-- like well -- we don't know let me speculate for you OK why why -- else because this doesn't happen let me just say something you -- -- wanna say something -- That Doug -- as if you don't want presidents when I'm loosen presidential campaign from the court.

We were not allowed to bring foreign policy and when I said about the president going Las Vegas right all of this small remotely.

-- the leg litigation was still the console was still smoldering right goes off for fund raiser and people have been crucial month.

I remember and celebrate after the season -- the hostages in 79 when myself in the other top members of the campaign a handful of went to the president paid him a campaigned as we are still very tight race at that moment Ted Kennedy.

-- capsule -- -- have I need to be here I can't do this -- is no doubt that look President Obama isn't a decision to go to Vegas is obvious and also listen harder to put on the narrative we know differently as we heard it all the terrorist.

The white look you have a national security advisor who is a politician and a political operative Tom -- Who was also I believe the person behind -- so you -- kid in the White House you Susan Rice was not in the line of what was she doing -- and Sunday doing five shows she's not in the chain of command -- somebody did somebody saw you buddy can pull out of Iraq and why did they keep promoting the tapes or -- -- -- wasn't true.

Because it would upset the meridor a terrorist attack here's the problem but -- crisis that but I can't we pour it.

That -- didn't -- -- -- -- all go but I'm farmer reporter -- -- in the entire national press -- are right going in and -- in those questions but they shouldn't be of course disappointed no -- then you stop telling people what's going up when you have the New York Times.

-- for days not not even discussed in this or even half.

-- hit it eleven let me make your point -- here's how bad it is Washington Post front page Mitt Romney's hazing in high school yes -- -- -- We don't care so we know all the fix is -- we know that last question real fast.

Hillary Clinton culpable here.

Well she is culpable for the extent that she either she she'd be -- written by the White House.

-- said some things differently but she is secretary of state somebody should have spoken out we should know this this like.

-- -- -- and we will continue following the story patented no doubt about it but we gotta do it facts.
