President Barack Obama submitted to two interviews on Friday, one via satellite with reporter Kyle Clark on KUSA 9NEWS, an NBC affiliate in Denver; the other with MTV’s Sway Calloway. The two conversations couldn’t have been more different.
Clark led his interview with “the question of the day” — whether Americans were denied requests for assistance when they came under attack in Libya. He ended the question by asking, “Is it fair to say we’ll find out [what happened] after the election?”
When the president talked around the question of whether the Benghazi foreign mission was denied the help they requested, Clark asked again and again the president didn’t answer.
Getting nowhere on Benghazi, Clark then tackled the issue of Abound Solar, which he described as “a Colorado company connected to one of [Obama’s] billionaire fundraisers,” now bankrupt and under criminal investigation.
Clark continued, “How do you answer your critics who see Abound Solar as Colorado’s Solyndra, a politically connected company who took our money with it?” Clark asked.
It was another uncomfortable question, prompting a three-minute monologue by Obama on how green energy supposedly creates job opportunities.
If Obama thought it couldn’t possibility get any worse, he was mistaken.
“Mr. President, you call for more civility,” Clark began. “In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, you called Mitt Romney a ‘bullsh***er.’ What did you mean, and why did you choose that word?”
Here again, Obama chose to ignore the question and segued into keeping his promises of ending the Iraq war and getting Osama bin Laden. What about that promise of a transparent administration?
You could almost hear a sigh of relief when, later in the day, the president sat down for a live, softball interview with MTV’s Calloway, answering questions submitted via Facebook and live through a video feed with Georgetown University students.
This time, the president was on more comfortable ground. The topics included global warming, Facebook and his iPod playlist. We learned from this gripping conversation that he likes to “think of myself as a man.” Riveting. Spellbinding. Stop the presses.
These interviews come at a time when the president hasn’t made a scheduled appeared before the White House press corps since June 15 — over four months ago. To be fair, the president did make a brief, unscheduled appearance on August 20, but he only stuck around long enough to answered but a few questions.
Especially troubling is the fact that he hasn’t held a press conference since the Sept. 15 raid on Benghazi. Until he does, we at least have a reporter from a local Denver TV station who knows how to ask the hard questions.
Here’s that interview.

Bullshit and lies !
That is all he knows to do… is BS, and I am sick of his lies. HE SHOULD BE tossed out on his butt and Michele too. They have done nothing but bring embarrassment to this Country … THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
This lying can’t help himself, he is a pathological liar. Solondra was the very company President Bush opposed 3 times said no taxpapers money. where was Bident the clown overseeing how the money in the stimulus was spent. yeah right, good job Joe you fraud.
HE IS A DISGRACE TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
From obama.
I love how Obama gets steamed when he is asked questions he doesn’t like. Thank goodness a reporter who actually wants to ask the hard questions.
Thank you to a courageous newsman, Lyle Clark, who did his job. Only, the president does what he always does – he took a question and then BSd it on and on without ever answering the question directly. Now, maybe, some MSM national hosts will put the same questions to him! The American people deserve a straight answer and we’re not getting it!
YOU ARE SO RIGHT ON THAT. HE DOESNT KNOW HOW TO ANSWER ANYTHING, He babbles on and on … I cant stand him, He should be impeached! and Hilliary Clinton too, and Panetta, all of that OBAMA Administration. They are all a joke to this nation . Totally incompetent
SO TRUE MARY GRACE HE IS THE BIGGEST BULLS–TER IN THE UNIVERSE. ANSWER THE QUESTION YOU MORON. NONE OF WHAT YOU SAID HOLDS ANY TRUTH, OH DEAR GOD HE IS MAKING ME VOMIT WITH EVERY WORD OUT OF HIS MOUTH. TRACK RECORD ELSUCKO, STUPID
OUTSIDE OF FOX NEWS HE IS THE ONLY REPORTER THAT HAS GUTS.
Keep it up Kyle, ask the hard questions and you’ll get ahead. I hope you go national.
What a big bullshipper he is! He just talks and talks and says nothing. He could not answer a question even if asked what his name is. He refuses to answer the questions asked of him. Keep on bulling the American people and you will be on a bus back to Chicago. And it could not happen any too soon.
Wa wa Wa….wa wa. Wa Wa wa!!! This is all I heard…sounded like the Peanuts Teacher speaking the whole time. Asked about a rude comment, and all he could say was “It was said off the record to an interviewer?” Really? You apologize for America, but you cannot apologize to an American for your own piss poor behaviour! LOL…What a JOKE!
He stuttered so much, I think we need to go back and count how many there were. I think that is considered a sign of a liar, or should I say Bullsh**er !!
LIAR!
He called Romney a “Bulls…er”…..yeah look who’d talking dumbass!!!!
Kyle Clark did an excellent job. I did get tired of trying to listen to the liar and thief, if his mouth is open , he’s lying, he must have been speaking about himself,( as he always does) he’s the bull shi____ !! I can’t wait until he and the rest of his trash are forced out of Washington. He and his wife are an embarrassment to our Great Country.
Finally a reporter who asked hard questions. Too bad BO is a “bullsh*****” who could not provide a straight answer.
You got it!!!
Such a freaking liar! He makes my blood boil. Kyle Clark asked questions every reporter SHOULD be asking! You want tosee a bullshitter….walk to you’re closest mirror!
Thank goodness for someone who had the backbone to ask the question we all want to know. Obama has a way of talking around the subject – I hope & pray that Romney will be our next President.
