Partial rough notes from the Press Pool of The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart just taped interview with President Obama. I have highlighted in red text the part that stuck out to me in this very short section of released rough notes. (The Obama campaign may think twice before continuing to hit Governor Romney with the women/binder remark — because they are no doubt about to get a return hit where the Gov Romney campaign quotes the “…four Americans get killed, its not optimal.” ”Not optimal” is pretty cold.)
BENGHAZI PER PRINT POOL:
On Benghazi, Potus said: “Every piece of information that we get, as we got it we laid it out to the American people. The picture eventually gets fully filled in.” Potus also said: “Here’s what I’ll say. When four Americans get killed, it’s not optimal. We’re going to fix it. All of it.” More: “The government is a big operation and any given time something screws up. And you make sure that you find out what’s broken and you fix it. Whatever else I have done throughout the course of my presidency the one thing that I’ve been absolutely clear about is that America’s security comes, and the American people need to know exactly how I make decisions when it comes to war, peace, security, and protecting Americans. And they will continue to get that over the next four years of my presidency”
