Nice talking points.


AND our state department official and his staff were murdered on September 11, 2012.

Obamas weak policy has a - direct- cause and effect on newly empowered Radical Islamists.

You can't shove this one under the rug.

Obama and Hillary will both be held accountable for their actions.


weak policy??...shoved under the rug??...held accountable?? what are you possibly talking about??
hey, it's 120 degrees in iraq...obama did that...dead fish in southern california...obama will pay for that...heat wave in the central US...obamas policies caused that


Yes, Obama has given the Muslim Brotherhood a big hug in Egypt and Libya.

Obama will be held accountable for his actions.

BTW, the Muslim Brotherhood isn't finished. This is just the beginning.

They are now empowered to strike again. Obama is helpless.

No need to impeach Obama. We can remove Obama from office November 6, 2012.

The Muslim Brotherhood has played Obama for a fool.

This has nothing to do with left or right, it has a lot to do with a president that is no doubt in the bag for the Muslims.
There is an artical on Snoops.com titled "Who is Obama" that was put out before the movies and endless articles now out about who Obama by his own admission really is and what he is about.

The only reason in my opinion that people are still not ready to admit there is a very dangerous person in the White House is it is to scary to admit we as Americans put him there. Really its not even about Obama but the people that built this clown to tare down this country at any cost to bring America in to the fold of socialism/communism. Bottom line this really doesn't have anything to do with the Mualim's, they will be delt with at the proper time..............just my opinion..........ya again.

This will not end well.

www.npr.org...


Klein said he vowed to help Bacile make the movie but warned him that "you're going to be the next Theo van Gogh." Van Gogh was a Dutch filmmaker killed by a Muslim extremist in 2004 after making a film that was perceived as insulting to Islam.

"We went into this knowing this was probably going to happen," Klein said.


Idiots all around. They have every right to make the film, but when you know people are going to get hurt and you go ahead anyway you are just being a self-indulgent twat.

I am in no way excusing the reactions of the Islamic protesters with this statement. It's just a reality, if you know you are going to start a frenzy you probably should reconsider your motives. In this case I think someone just likes attention no matter how negative it is.

Don't know if it's been posted yet, but it now is coming out that the American Ambassador and 3 Consulates were killed in the Libyan Embassy assault. The Libyan security that had been hired to guard the Embassy, gutted all documents in the Embassy, and turned them all over to the crowds storming the place. This is so bad my friends....so very bad....

I guess the State Department will rebuild the embassy somewhere else in Libya. Tripoli ?

This time it will be a fortress with more U.S. Marines.

There will be more attacks.

One party IS going to be in power. Wake up and smell the coffee.


Maybe you just need to "read between the lines"...I am sure Mike.Ockizard knows as well as everybody else that only 1 party is going to be in power.

I'm of the feeling, it's time to withdraw all troops, and financial support from the whole damn Middle East...Let God or Mohamed sort them out, after they finish bombing the hell out of each other.

So Romney again lying and using every opportunity he gets to attack Obama, and even when he's completely talking BS his supporters will applaud him? Someone like Romney shouldn't be elected, he's a phoney.

I can't help but feel that this will be the last 'election' by the American people in this current system. Another four years? Yikes, how is all the financial ruin gonna suddenly correct itself? I really don't see a way out unless a big war suddenly 'happens'.

I agree with this. And I agree with Romney (
shocked! I didn't expect that)
Obama always seems to side with the muslim perps and then gets caught with his
pants down and has to try to look better later. It's his pattern. No wonder people
think he's a closet muslim.


Yeah..... Muslims are bad!!!! Stupid, you are just stupid. A mob did something bad, your president has said he will work to bring the perpetrators to justice - that is as diplomatic as a head of state can be. You on the other hand have no skin in the game and blame a faith/country (psst, you do know the difference don't you?) for the mob reaction of a few.

Surprised your comments didn't attract a mod, wonder if the fact I am calling an American stupid will

Romney 'Outraged' Over Obama 'Sympathy' for Embassy Attackers

More trouble for the Obama Campaign today.

Lots of problems in the Middle East and lots of weak responses from The White House.


First off...this was not a 'response' to the incident in Libya...your own link (as you have quoted) even makes that clear:


When Romney mentions the Obama administration “sympathizing” with “those who waged the attacks,” he refers to this statement, released prior to the Embassy storming in Cairo by the Embassy:


Romney is referring after the attack...to a statement given by Obama before the attack...stating his case that Obama's statement sympathized with the attackers...BEFORE the attack.

Your sourced quote also says:

It's disgraceful that the Obama Administration's first response was not to condemn attacks on our diplomatic missions, but to sympathize with those who waged the attacks.


And then gives the quote from Obama made before the attacks...unless Obama can see the future, a statement made prior to an event cannot be the same as a 'first response.'

What WAS Obama's 'first response?'

To learn this, we must put aside breitbart.com and go to the source...that is the website of the WH Press Office


THE PRESIDENT: Good morning. Every day, all across the world, American diplomats and civilians work tirelessly to advance the interests and values of our nation. Often, they are away from their families. Sometimes, they brave great danger.

Yesterday, four of these extraordinary Americans were killed in an attack on our diplomatic post in Benghazi. Among those killed was our Ambassador, Chris Stevens, as well as Foreign Service Officer Sean Smith. We are still notifying the families of the others who were killed. And today, the American people stand united in holding the families of the four Americans in our thoughts and in our prayers.

The United States condemns in the strongest terms this outrageous and shocking attack. We're working with the government of Libya to secure our diplomats. I've also directed my administration to increase our security at diplomatic posts around the world. And make no mistake, we will work with the Libyan government to bring to justice the killers who attacked our people.

Since our founding, the United States has been a nation that respects all faiths. We reject all efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. But there is absolutely no justification to this type of senseless violence. None. The world must stand together to unequivocally reject these brutal acts.

Already, many Libyans have joined us in doing so, and this attack will not break the bonds between the United States and Libya. Libyan security personnel fought back against the attackers alongside Americans. Libyans helped some of our diplomats find safety, and they carried Ambassador Stevens’s body to the hospital, where we tragically learned that he had died.


After some memorial comments honoring Chris Stevens and the others, Obama goes on to say:


As Americans, let us never, ever forget that our freedom is only sustained because there are people who are willing to fight for it, to stand up for it, and in some cases, lay down their lives for it. Our country is only as strong as the character of our people and the service of those both civilian and military who represent us around the globe.

No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character, or eclipse the light of the values that we stand for. Today we mourn four more Americans who represent the very best of the United States of America. We will not waver in our commitment to see that justice is done for this terrible act. And make no mistake, justice will be done.

But we also know that the lives these Americans led stand in stark contrast to those of their attackers. These four Americans stood up for freedom and human dignity. They should give every American great pride in the country that they served, and the hope that our flag represents to people around the globe who also yearn to live in freedom and with dignity.

Xue,

Thanks for this great post! I have been looking for that U.S. Embassy statement this morning!
I am so utterly disgusted with The Obama Administration for using this flimsy excuse,
they know that film is not the reason for the Embassy attacks!

I am outraged that peaceful law abiding U.S. Citizens who serve to foster diplomatic
relations between countries have been harmed, and murdered, and Obama is once
again apologizing!

(...continued)

Now, from NPR:


On Wednesday, Romney stood by his remarks, calling the State Department's early statement "inappropriate and disgraceful."

"It's terrible ... for America to stand in apology for our values," he said.

Romney said that the State Department issued the statement as "our grounds [were] being attacked and being breached." But NPR's Leila Fadel says the U.S. statement was issued at noon in Cairo, long before protesters assaulted the embassy compound there or anyone was killed in Libya.

Asked whether he might have spoken too soon about the events in Libya, Romney said: "I don't think we ever hesitate when we see something that is a violation of our principles."


"To stand in apology for our values"....and "I don't think we ever hesitate when we see something that is a violation of our principles."

What ARE 'our' values, Mr. Romney? And 'our' principles?

They are found in the Bill of Rights:


Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.


make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;



President Obama said:


Since our founding, the United States has been a nation that respects all faiths. We reject all efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. But there is absolutely no justification to this type of senseless violence. None. The world must stand together to unequivocally reject these brutal acts.

That Obama would disavow the Cairo embassy statement were it made prior to the attack makes him look like an idiot. He could have easily explained it as an attempt to diffuse the problem.


Well...it WAS made before the attack. Time zone differences...remember time zones?
It is not the same time in Egypt right now as it is in Washington.

Right now...in LIbya, it is 8:02 PM...in Washington it is 2:02 PM.
Libya is 6 hours ahead of Washington.

You'd think Romney would know something that elementary.
You'd think most of the rest of us would, too.
