Congressmen Call Hearing On Libya Security Measures - Darrell Issa leads charge

Congressmen Call Hearing On Libya Security Measures

[font size="+1" color="gray"]Hearing comes as a new poll says voters still trust Obama over Romney on foreign policy.[/font]

Republican lawmakers called on Secretary of State Hillary Clinton Tuesday to answer their questions on security shortcomings in Libya, also scheduling an emergency House Oversight and Government Reform hearing next week to discuss the administration's failures, even though Congress is not in session.

Two Republicans, California Rep. Darrell Issa and Utah Rep. Jason Chaffetz, have charged that the consulate in Benghazi faced multiple security threats prior to the September attacks, but that the Obama administration failed to appropriately respond.

for every Democrat running for a seat in either the House or Senate, pointing out all the filibusters and acts of obstruction the Repubs have done, and how they have managed to weaken the recovery. He could have been saying - look at all the damage the Repubs have wrought to the recovery - that's why I need you to vote for every Democrat.

I am not aware of him doing this.
