Jamie: don't, but margie, don't you sense if the american people are wondering at this point administration watching attack unfold in realtime. they went out for a week and said it was due to a film and now we're having hearings on it and we're hearing startling things. one of the people who testified, a security quoting, for me the taliban is on the inside of the building. this is before the attack. do you not think this is relevant issue for the american people? you mentioned national security. >> well, look, fox released a poll yesterday shows the president has six point advantage over mitt...

Welcome back to "america's newsroom." you heard the other side. what do you think of that? >> well i think that the mayor is, i'm sure might have been watching a little bit of a different debate than most people were last night. you know, obviously joe biden's mugging for the camera took a lot away from his performance but the one thing i think, bill, that is most important, and is that the vice president was really factually incorrect when it came to the security issue in benghazi. he said that the administration, he did not know that the administration was asked for more security, and clearl...
