President Obama: 'If Four Americans Get Killed, It's Not OPTIMAL'



'If Four Americans Get Killed, It's Not OPTIMAL': Obama's Extraordinary Response To Comedy Central Question About Shifting Story After Benghazi Attack -- Daily Mail

President Barack Obama, during an interview shown on Comedy Central, has responded to a question about his administration's confused communication after the Benghazi attack, by saying: 'If four Americans get killed, it’s not optimal.'

Obama was speaking to Jon Stewart of The Daily Show for a programme that was broadcast last night. Stewart, a liberal whose young audience is full of potential voters prized by the Obama campaign, asked the president about his handling of the aftermath of the Benghazi attack.

My Comment: It was John Stewart who first used the term "not optimal" in a question, and President Obama responded by using the same term 15 seconds later. Still .... the optics are horrible and I am sure that upon reflection President Obama wishes that he had said something else. He is tired, and being one year older than the President, I certainly know how it feels to be tired after non-stop traveling for weeks.
