Why Romney didn’t need to go there—Libya disaster—during the debate

“Officials at the White House and State Department were advised two hours after attackers assaulted the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, on September 11 that an Islamic militant group had claimed credit for the attack, official emails show.

The emails, obtained by Reuters from government sources not connected with U.S. spy agencies or the State Department and who requested anonymity, specifically mention that the Libyan group called Ansar al-Sharia had asserted responsibility for the attacks.”

So why for 2 weeks did Obama do a cover up?

LOL. Romney desperately needed to go there after last tuesdays fiasco but Obama came out pushing back hard on Romney and whenever Mitt gets it dished back the way he tries to dish it out he loses steam and cowers back.
Mitt the twit wilted. It's that simple.

In response to the troll, Romney gets intelligence briefings. He probably knew what was coming out on Tuesday about the unfolding disaster, the cables, etc. All he needed to do was stay quiet and give Obama the rope.
