Ari Fleischer
The Public Record
Ari Fleischer is a Republican political consultant and former White House Press Secretary under President George W. Bush from 2001 to 2003. He played a significant role in communicating the administration's policies and responses during pivotal events, including the September 11 attacks and the subsequent War on Terror. Fleischer is known for his defense of the administration's stance on weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, a key justification for the invasion in 2003. After leaving the White House, he has worked as a media consultant and commentator, providing insights on political communication and strategy.
I think that's the best way to figure these things out. In the last three polls in Ohio, all three of which came out yesterday, the president was at 49, 48 and 47.
It really looked to me as if for political reasons they did not want to indicate that America had been struck by terrorism.
But the fact of the matter is, Benghazi was the first successful terrorist attack on our country since September 11th, 2001.

This administration was terribly ham-handed. It really looked to me as if for political reasons they did not want to indicate that America had been struck by terrorism.
This is an administration that has a serious Israel problem. There is an Israel gap. And Barack Obama has brought it on.
If you believe what the polls are saying right now, you have got to believe that there's something huge going on.
The previous Pew poll was ridiculous. It had a 10-point Democratic turnout advantage. Not going to happen.
If this is an election about the state of the economy and whether the president is partially or enough to blame for the bad economy, he's going to lose.
As long as Mitt Romney keeps winning independents, chances are Mitt Romney's going to win.
In 2008, President Obama ran when he was trying to get to the left of Hillary Clinton saying he opposed NAFTA.
No, Anderson, the problem is if you don't have a mandate for health care, which is what Mitt Romney and Republicans want, they don't want to have the mandate, but...
My only point is both candidates have engaged in tactical maneuvering. This is nothing new.
I think there was a willful pattern in this administration of downplaying terrorist attacks against our country.
The president was AWOL. He was still unable to offer any specifics when the nation needed it the most.
The president had to offer a very specific budget. It never once comes into balance.
The Obama campaign which had stumbles early on is performing and executing pretty well right now.
I think you're within the margin of error in almost every one of those battleground states.
Well, Anderson, here's what I think you have to do. And I don't think it's conspiracy, but I think you have to apply a common-sense test.
