Obama on Benghazi atttack: 'We are going to fix it'

Responding to comments about the U.S. response to the deadly attack at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, last month, President Barack Obama on Thursday said, "We are going to fix it." In a taped interview on Comedy Central's "The Daily Show" in New York, host Jon Stewart told Obama that "it was not the optimal response, at least to the American people, as far as all of us being on the same page," referring to the Benghazi attack on September 11. "If four Americans get killed, it is not optimal," the President said. "We are going to fix it. All of it." "And what happens during the course of a presidency is that the government is a big operation, and any given time something screws up," he said. "And you make sure that you find out what is broken, and you fix it." "Whatever else I have done throughout the course of my presidency, the one thing that I have been absolutely clear about is that America's security comes first, and the American people need to know exactly how I make decisions when it comes to war, peace, security and protecting Americans," Obama said. "And they will continue to get that over the next four years of my presidency." Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney has kept up criticism of Obama in the wake of the Benghazi incident, saying it represents the unraveling of Obama's foreign policy. Obama and Romney square off in Florida on Monday night for their third and final debate prior to the Nov. 6 election. The last debate will focus on foreign policy, and the Benghazi incident is expected to be among the most-discussed topics.
