47 minutes ago – 9NEWS questions Obama on Libya attack ... DENVER - The 2012 CHSAA Colorado Boys State Soccer playoffs will start this . ... satellite interview Friday afternoon with 9NEWS reporter Kyle Clark, who also asked if it's fair for US tax payer's pay for Colorado's fail solar panel company with layoff.

Does Obama answer those three tough question or does Obama spin.

Here is Obama’s full response to the question:

“Well, we are finding out exactly what happened. I can tell you, as I’ve said over the last couple of months since this happened, the minute I found out what was happening, I gave three very clear directives. Number one, make sure that we are securing our personnel and doing whatever we need to. Number two, we’re going to investigate exactly what happened so that it doesn’t happen again. Number three, find out who did this so we can bring them to justice. And I guarantee you that everyone in the state department, our military, the CIA, you name it, had number one priority making sure that people were safe. These were our folks and we’re going to find out exactly what happened, but what we’re also going to do it make sure that we are identifying those who carried out these terrible attacks.”

I thought it was a youtube video as 0bama stated at the UN.

Clark’s line of questioning was seemingly different than the president usually faces from a media that has been friendly to him.

The 9News reporter also asked Obama about his previous calls for more “civility” in the race, calling him out for calling Romney a “bullsh**ter in a Rolling Stone interview.

“What did you mean and why did you choose that word?” he asked.

“You know, this was a conversation after an interview, a casual conversation with a reporter,” Obama explained.

“The basic point that I’ve been talking about throughout this campaign, is people know what I mean and they know that I mean what I say and what I care about, who I’m fighting for and you know a major issue in any election is can you count on the person you’re putting into the Oval Office fighting for you having a clear set of convictions that they believe in.”

Finally, Obama was asked to address his administration’s decision to give stimulus funds to Abound Solar, a Colorado company with ties to one of the president’s billionaire fundraisers. The company has since gone out of business and is now under criminal investigation, Clark reports.

After laughing, Obama said: “Well, Kyle, I think that if you look at our record that these loans that are given out by the Department of Energy for clean energy have created jobs all across the country and only about four percent of these loans were going to some very cutting-edge industries that are going to allow us to figure out how to produce energy in a clean, renewable way in the future and create jobs in Colorado and all around the country.”
