UPDATE 2: See full video of the damning interview:
UPDATE: 9News has published verbatim excerpts of the interview, which you can find here.

A major news story is about to break, courtesy of 9News reporter Kyle Clark.
Earlier in the day, Clark asked on Twitter for questions to pose to the Commander-in-Chief. Our request: Benghazi. And specifically, was the President specifically made aware of a request for security backup by CIA officers on the scene.
And here is the big news. We haven’t seen the video yet, but Clark just tweeted a tease of the interview:
.@barackobama would not directly answer our repeated questions on whether requests for help in Benghazi were denied #copolitics

Q: Is it fair voters have to wait until post-election to learn truth abt Libya? @barackobama: Election has nothing to do w/ {it} #copolitics

Asked about Abound Solar collapse/Pat Stryker connection. @barackobama: Most such loans worked, no political favoritism #copolitics
— Kyle Clark (@KyleClark) October 26, 2012
Asked abt Prez’ call for political civility/calling @mittrommey a bullshitter. @barackobama: BSer remark came in “casual convo” #copolitics

Try squaring that with Vice President Joe Biden’s comments during his presidential debate earlier this month:
“We weren’t told they wanted more security, we did not know they wanted more security,” the vice-president said.
This has all the makings of a big one. When the video is available, we will post it here.
Developing…
Paddy Ryan its always about Bush……..
I agree with you 100% Paddy, but dont think you will get many to agree with your logic here.
Ray Prentice . You have a ppm (piss poor memory). That captain had to wait days for Obama to make up his mind and when he was finally freed, the captain dissed Obama. Get your head out of your rectal cavity.
So your main comeback is that I have to be a 9-11 truther to push this line of validated information? And that a typo where a b was put instead of an m is a good enough reason to question all validity? It says you are a professor yet you so proudly display your ignorance. I may only be a lowly oilfield worker but I can guarantee you that I can match wits with you. Please search more sources than MSNBC and the Huffington Post to base your opinions on. I read stories and sides from all sources then make my opinion on what I believe is the most probable story. Unfortunately after what I have seen and experienced in my life I tend to believe that Obama hoped that this would be something he could exploit for his gain. Unfortunately for him the actual facts started coming out and he couldn't play the "It was all the videos fault" nonsense.
It's nonsense because he had no information about a developing attack – did you do a similar analysis of 9/11 attacks and query the intelligence Bush was given – remember that briefiing "Al Qaeda determined to attack inside the United States"? How do you know that the predator drone gave Obama ANY useful information? Do you have sources inside the White House?
The nonsense includes the "billion dollars" Pat Stryker gave to the Obama campaign. Her net worth is $1.5 billion I can find no reference to her having given the Obama campaign a billion dollars. In view of the fact that the two parties together have raised around 2 billion dollars that should be enough to show this is nonesne.
He had a predator drone relaying a live feed to the situation room. This has been brought out by a couple of different sources. So please tell me how this is nonsense. Also he had emails coming in telling him that they needed help well before the attack. Yes, he may have saved the Captain but he wasn't trying to push a false narrative of Somali pirates being peaceful and taken care of like he is in this situation with Al Queda and Libya.
What a load of nonsense. Obama may have had some satellite pics but absolutely no knowledge of what was going to come down. He did a pretty good job of freeing that US Captain, captured by Somali pirates but you've probably forgotten that – as well as the fact that Republicans in the house, called for and got a reduction of funding for our embassies. Selective Republican amnesia (as usual).
Go to Kyle Clark's facebook page and he has it posted there. It was refreshing to watch a reporter doing his job for a change.
I would say the Blaze might like to pick him up.
Maybe FOX News for Kyle……
Wow. A reporter that actually asks Obama tough questions that need to be asked. I just, I'm speechless.
I would say that Kyle Clark is angling for a job with one of the big networks, except none of them would ask questions like this of Obama. And none of them would want anyone who would dare to do so on their staff. As Glenn Reynolds says, "They're Democratic operatives with bylines". Massive kudos to Mr. Clark for showing us what a journalist is.
Obama Is The Bull Sh_ _ ter, He has not done crap but blame everyone for his first four yrs and don't answer any Questions asked of him. He is the blame and give the runaround President.
By the way, I tipped off the Drudge report on this story, where it showed up as a top story about five minutes later.
What is the purpose of the reporter? This guy just spouts whatever he wants, completely ignoring the question. C'mon Colorado…show him we're too intelligent here to tolerate that!
First of all, if calling Mitt Romney only came up in conversation, then why is Obama using the frase in his speaches? And Pat Stryker gave over $1 billion dollars to the Obama campaign so how he can say that this is not political favoritism is BS. Finally, regarding Libya, Obama saw what was going on in Libya in "real" time and new exactly what was happening. As commander and chief, he should have had all of the appropriate people at hand to assist him with making a prudent and swift decision to protect our American citizens from harm. I wouldn't want to place my life in Obama's hands, that's for sure. He expects us to trust him with our healthcare, but I don't trust him with money, my health or my life!
I like Kyle Clark.
He broke the Bridge to Nowhere story for which we are greatly indebted here at the Bridge to Nowhere Tea Party.
Can't wait to see the interview. Great job Kyle.
Mr. President why not answer the questions if the elections has nothing to do with Libya. Abound solar was a bust just like solyndra. Nice leadership.
