For years, the right wing called president obama a socialist, a communist, a marxist. Theyve been trotting out the exact similar talking point over and over and over again. Where are the jobs . Where are the jobs . Where are the jobs . Where are the jobs . Where are the jobs . The American People are continuing to ask the question, where are the jobs . Where are the jobs . Its ridiculous. Here are the jobs. Before president obama came into office, the city was bleeding private sector jobs. The private sector has now added jobs for 50 straight months. Today president obama says hes going to keep fighting. Theres plenty more that congress should be doing from raising the minimum wage to creating good construction jobs to rebuilding america. And i want to work with them wherever i can. I must make sure every american who works hard has a chance to get ahead. But americans are still not ready to face reality. Heres what the head of the Republican Party said today. The regime claims that 28
The lengths we have to go to to get cnn coverage these days. I think theyre still searching for their table. So right after that joke, i looked over at one of the tables where fox news staffers were sitting. I could just tell fox news was next. Speaking of conservative heroes, the coke brothers bought a table here tonight, but as usual they used a shadowy right Wing Organization as a front. Hello, fox news. [ applause ] im just kidding. Lets face it, fox, youll miss me when im gone. So that got lots of laughs, of course. The tension between the president and fox news is palpable, it has been for years. And it was at the heart of this weeks biggest media story benghazi. So enough about the dinner. It was fascinating to be there, it was fun to celebrate the press corps. There is a lot to celebrate but also a lot to scrutinize, so lets get to it. Benghazi is a class case of red news, blue news. The president handled the tragedy as a scandal while msnbc pretty much dismisses it. One story
Security correspondent Jennifer Griffin at the pentagon, and first, the real story, from chief White House Correspondent ed henry live on the white house lawn. Ed, whats the latest . How is the president prepping for tonights speech . What can the American People expect . Well, were told he has already gone through several drafts. He has obviously only got a few more hours to go. What is he diagnose to repair beyond tweaking the speech is meeting with his National Security team behind closed doors in the situation room, but also calling King Abdullah of saudi arabia with his National Security team in toe in the oval office to give him a heads up of what he is going to be telling the American People, what he is going to be telling the world.

Earlier today, the House Speaker said the nations toll intelligence officer, the director of National Intelligence James Clapper should consider blocking clintons access to information given comey assessment she was extremely careless. I think the dni clapper should deny Hillary Clinton access to classified information during this campaign, given how she so recklessly handled classified information. Thats point one. Point two, director comeys presentation shredded the claims that secretary clinton made throughout the year with respect to this issue.
