presidential daily briefings, the pdb. that document he skims on his ipad is a summary. the briefings that come over, the experts that come over to follow in detail what s coming up on, this president thinks he s so smart he doesn t have to go through that. he thinks he doesn t need to put the extra work in for going through that process. that s why i say he s lazy and detached and unfortunately ambassador stevens suffered the consequences of us not providing adequate security there. greta: are you saying, though okay, you say that he died as a result of us not putting adequate security there, i agree with you on that. are you saying that president obama is in any way responsible for his death? look, an administration as a whole is responsible for what happens on its watch, unless he wants to tell us that the buck doesn t stop there. this president has, in my
states that romney needs to kind of gain ground on. wisconsin really opens up possibilities. without wisconsin, it s looking very hard, particularly the way things are looking in ohio, so many other swing states. if he can get florida or wisconsin, he has a path. greta: those were nice ads. no one is said to be a rot and horrible person, a thief or crook. it was a nice ad. that s the point. the country hasn t decided that it doesn t like barack obama. it may not vote for him again, but even people that pretty strong partisan, a lot of folks say they like him generally, and certainly people that voted for him four years ago you re not going to convince him he s all the evil things that some of the ads say he is. the 47% video that came out last, campaig romney talking abt campaign strategy, he said they were having a tough time selling a vilified version of barack obama to former voters, so they wanted to hammer the idea of disappointment, disenchantment. you saw that in this
greta: hypothetically, is it ever okay for the president to are there any circumstances where a president should lie to the american people, or it s okay to the american people, it s good to lie to the american people? well, the right answer to that is i should lie to you and say no. greta: okay. how about telling me the truth? i mean, i m just trying you know, for the life of me i can t figure out why they blamed it on the youtube video. sure. if you ask a president a direct question, in which he gives you an absolutely honest answer it jeopardizes the national security of the united states, i think he ought to give you an evasive answer. greta: so unusual that a u.n. ambassador, susan rice, got sent out. like they sent her out to dry, send her out to the five sunday shows to look the most foolish. and the president goes to the u.n. and says video, video,
romney campaign in the homestretch. you know, i took one thing away from that convention in tampa, it was we love you, women, women are special, women are great. a lot of the romney advertising has a very has had a very heavy female presence. they have a budge big deficit wh women, and they re trying to close it. greta: rick? no subtly in terms of the campaign messaging. i go one step further, i think that was midwestern accents i heard. greta: either from illinois or wisconsin. we really like you if you live in wisconsin or ohio or illinois. they need to be doing better among women. republicans almost always lose women in republican conventions. can t lose it as badly as they are right now to barack obama. when you look at the money spent on this ad, they re spending $10 million on this push, and much of it is going to those exact midwestern states, wisconsin, ohio and iowa, the
video. he hung himself out to dry. this is after his press secretary that it is obvious that it was an act of terrorism. there s no rationality to this white house. greta: governor, thank you, sir. thank you. greta: now to a very disturbing question. did the obama administration just flat out lie? the obama administration did know from day one that the attack in our consulate in banghazi was terrorism. why didn t they tell us? is there some reasonable explanation? let s ask state department official hi liz cheney. why didn t we get the truth from the get-go? one you heard the president s speech in virginia, he said al-qaeda is on a path to defeat and osama bin laden is dead.
