Briefing Bites: Was strike on Libyan consulate a 'terrorist attack'? Both the Romney campaign and the Republican National Committee released statements Wednesday criticizing President Obama for not explicitly classifying the attacks on the U.S. consulate in Libya as “terrorist attacks” in public appearances over the past two weeks. At the UN General Assembly on Tuesday, Obama called the violence, “attacks on America,” but stopped short of labeling the perpetrators as terrorists. “There should be no doubt that we will be relentless in tracking down the killers and bringing them to justice,” the president said. When specifically asked whether the strikes were terrorist attacks during a television appearance on ABC’s The View on Monday, Obama wouldn’t say. FULL POST

POTUS's schedule for Wednesday: Back to the Buckeye State President Obama heads back to the Buckeye State for the lucky 13th time today. He'll have two campaign events on the road today. At the first one, he'll be speaking to the campus at Bowling Green State University and then later on in the afternoon, he'll be talking at Kent State University. The trip comes on the heels of a new poll suggesting the president's lead is widening in the crucial battleground state. It also comes six days before early voting starts in the state. We expect the president to make a particularly strong push for voter registration, as the deadline in Ohio is October 9. He'll return back to the White House later this evening.
