If you check out Obama's FB page comments, you will find mostly Muslims proclaiming their love for their brother Obama!!

Here is what we actually know, a US embassy openly apologized to terrorists because a US citizen made a movie that didn't break any laws

Did you even read the statement from the US Embassy? No apology, just a condemnation of an offensive movie in an attempt to PREVENT violence.

The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims – as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions. Today, the 11th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, Americans are honoring our patriots and those who serve our nation as the fitting response to the enemies of democracy. Respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of American democracy. We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others.

So which part of the statement did you disagree with - Condemnation of "hate speech"? Respect for other religions? Do you think it is honorable to use the power of Free Speech to deliberately promote religous intolerance and provoke violence?

Freedom of Speech goes both ways - I cannot prevent someone from saying something blasphemous or inflammatory but I can sure as hell disagree with it - LOUDLY.

500 troops going to libya,we now have boots on the ground their when a year ago we were told no american troops there.

I just read the announcement. The number of Marines is up to 200 Marines. One of the traditional missions of the US Marine Corps is defense of US Embassies? In light of this attack, what would you opinion of the President be of he didn't reinforce the Embassy in Tripoli?

Harley Chic: “The true legacy of 9/11 will not be one of fear or hate or division. It will be a safer world; a stronger nation; and a people more united than ever before.” – captioned on a photo from Obama's FB from yesterday.

But, don't let the facts get in the way of your "muslim brotherhood" argument. If it wasn't a ridiculous attack of that nature, you'd be lambasting Obama for politicizing 9/11 instead.

Romney's comments (and yours, for that matter) seem to display a complete disregard for the facts on the ground in Egypt and a lack of understanding of the situation there. What was construed as an apology is also pretty clearly a message saying that we, in this country, are free to speak our minds even when those opinions are distasteful or hurtful; their actions don't represent all of us any more than the actions of the group at the embassy in Egypt yesterday represents their entire nation.

It was also classless and destructive, but that's just my opinion.

10 REASONS WHY ISLAMIC TERRORISTS WANT MITT ROMNEY TO WIN

1) President Obama's sane, measured responses to issues in the Moslem world work against their efforts to stir up trouble and portray the U.S. as the "great Satan". They see Mitt Romney as a knee jerk President that will over-react, which is exactly what they are after.

2) President Obama has successfully and systematically targeted their leadership. Islamic terrorists were safer under a Republican administration.

3) Mitt Romney will say and do anything for Israeli support. Even turn the other way to Muslim targeted hate speech and call movies that demonize Muslim religious figures as pedophiles, as acceptable vehicles for "free speech"without condemnation. This plays into the hands of those wishing to whip the peaceful Muslim majority into a frenzied mob.

4) Republican presidents invade, attack, destroy and rebuild the entire Muslim infrastructure. Iraq and Afghanistan were rebuilt with US taxpayer dollars instead of using targetted and much cheaper methods to destroy terrorist bases. Having foreign troops on Muslim soil is a huge boost to Muslim terrorists as they seek to portray the US as Christian invaders.

5) Romney's energy policy will make the Muslim world rich and wealthy, causing a flow of dollars from democratic governments to Muslim monarchies, which, once overthrown, can put the money in the control of the terrorists elements. Bush/Romney's support of Saudi princes is better than Obama's support of Arab democracy if you're looking to overthrow a government.

6) The availability of weapons is easier to come by in countries that are invaded by Republican presidents. The fog of war creates many opportunities for terrorists to obtain weapons that would normally not be available to them. The US military leaves behind much that can be used again. Republican administrations have been more than willing to negotiate deals with Iran, Iraq, and other unstable or despotic regimes in the past, just to further weapons sales.

7) Romney will bring the war to the Middle East, rather than the terrorists having to try to hit U.S. targets. Republican presidents have ignored Presidential Daily Briefings that forewarned terrorist attacks against the U.S., GOP presidents have decided to attack countries that haven't attacked the U.S., and GOP presidents have protected the hotbeds of Islamic terrorism, wealthy Arab countries that have produced the leadership for Islamic terrorist organizations, such as Al Qaida.

8) Islamic militants see Romney as a weaker president, someone they can dupe into making mistakes, miscalculations, and remarks that inflame the Muslim world to accept their point of view, that the U.S. wants to dominate and control them, and force western lifestyles on the Muslim world. Romney's remarks about the Israeli vs. Arab economies is just the right amount of racism and condescension that Islamic militants need to boost anti US sentiments.

9) Islamic militants and terrorists see Romney as one who would weaken the US economy with trickle down economics. For them, a weaker US is a better foe.

10) Romney has been critical of the Arab Spring uprisings. He's happier maintaining the Muslim dictators that the general Muslim public deplores. To that end, he helps the terrorist cause and drives Muslims to extremism to rid themselves of these dictators, while at the same time feeding into the idea that the US is the "great Satan" helping to keep the average Muslim family subservient to the dictators.

At the core of this issue we have religion, all religion, clouding individual’s judgment and obstructing their view of the reality that functions by action and consequence. Am I saying everyone should be afraid to use freedom of speech, no. But we are all already aware of the many differences in culture and violence in extreme Islam, why this group of people felt they needed to poke the beehive is beyond me. Provoking this group of people is not the solution to the problem. I hope every American involved in the creation of the film and the quoted “over 100 Israeli financial backers of the film” realize that they have once again cost the lives of hard working peaceful Americans and are haunted by that thought forever. If they didn’t realize the reaction their video would cause, they are as small minded as they are intolerant which is proven ten-fold considering the financial backers have had their own bouts with intolerance.

It's all about Romney - no one else and nothing else.

Romney is an ass.

Obama served in the same branch of the military as Romney, his sons and Ryan. However, it was Romney's party that got us into war in Afghanistan and Iraq.

I am a liberal and I served 26 years with the USMC and Army, and do I think Obama is a great President - no.... only history can make that judgement.

Romeny / Ryan are unqualified for the job and they don't even believe their going to win, otherwise, why is Ryan running ads for his congressional campaign???? Isn't that a waste of money???

the article presents the time line to the events and the right still doesn't read it. THE STATEMENT PUT OUT BY THE EMBASSY IN EGYPT WAS HOURS BEFORE THE ATTACK IN LIBYA. Even with your "hooked on phonics", you should read that fact.

If the GOP had offered a valid canidate, you might of had a chance, but Huntsman (the only smart one of the group) wasn't crazy enough to get through the primaries and wouldn't lower his standards to do so.

The GOP needs to kick out the teahadists faction or otherwise no one will take you seriously.

Your blaming the President and the State Department for miscommunications on two events, hell Romeny can't even get his campaign to be on the same page.

riverboy21 It is not religion, it is power and money. There has not been one deposed dictator that has not looted the treasury of his country and had billions hidden in Swiss accounts.

Oh, justin case, let's give the whole quote then:

"In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for instance, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific reassurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction"

Obama was saying he would not vote to intern an entire group of American citizens based solely on their religion or ethnicity, reminding us of the wrong done to Japanese Americans who were interned just because of their ethnicity during World War II. Since this is both the moral and the constitutional stance to take, I fail to see why anyone would have a problem with it.

I condemn religious extremism even when free speech protects it. The release of such a provocative film reportedly made by an Israeli living in California on 9-11 is clearly an attempt to produce a violent reaction in the Muslim world which it did. I do not see where the embassy staff in Egypt issuing a statement condemning religious extremism is not standing up for our freedoms, but is simply a statement of outrage at such a provocative film. This statement was intended to quell anger at US, not foment it. The tweets I read in no way sought to justify the attacks., but instead tried to explain their reasoning for issuing the statement in the first place.

I, for one, will wait for more information before making any harsh judgments over who is responsible. I advise Mitt Romney to do the same. Too late, he already has spoken harshly.

I remember 9-11-2001 clearly. Many do. And I remember the country rallying around our President. It helped us get through that crisis. Democrats and Republicans unified against a common enemy through much of that Fall and the following year. Apparently, Gov. Romney does not remember that.

@ OFFCOURSE1

You've been mis-spelling your moniker. I wasted the time to read your numerous "hate Obama" screeds and it's easy to see you have no grasp of reality or how to treat fellow human beings. I can see exactly why Mitt is your man.

Sit back, take a stress pill and try to get that vein popping out of your forehead back in place.

Romney put his foot in his mouth again?

Not a surprise.

Romney screwed up plain and simple, but it was probably due to some of his staffers being a little overzealous in wanting to get their guy's statement out before there was an official statement from the WH. I'm sure he has staffers combing the news 24/7 looking for opportunities where Romney can inject himself into the mix and also appear on top of things. This time it backfired.

Hopefully he's learned a lesson from jumping into a situation with little information. Notice how his Republican colleagues had measured responses to the situation, and only after they had a clear idea of what had transpired. Even his running mate avoided taking a swipe in the hopes of gaining some political points. When I look at Romney's comments and his Republican colleagues he does come across as lacking political savvy.

Thanks for the entertainment my Republican friends. Laughter is indeed a great medicine.

Rather than attack President Obama on everything from hurricanes to being a secret Muslim with no US birth certificate, why not bestow upon us the virtues that make Romney fit to be the next CIC?

Because you can't....

Romney is desperate. No one who hopes to be president should attempt to convert this kind of foreign incident in which details are not even well known into political fodder for a campaign. The Embassy in Egypt was obviously under pressure and trying to prevent a bad situation from becoming lethal. They had every right to try to defend their lives and defuse a deteriorating situation.

This isn't the kind of free speech that our founders had in mind. With rights come responsibility and whoever made this cheesy and insulting film should be held to account in some way. I wonder how it feels to know that your country views you responsible for fanning flames and contributing to the death of four people? People jump all over Julian Assange for publishing some innocuous classified material that did no harm and want to prosecute him for it. What's the charge for starting a war and getting people killed due to stupid bigotry?

When informed that 4 people died, the filmmaker Sam Im-Bacile dismissed it as a "security problem that the govt needs to fix."

Ol_Doc Read your history and Clinton's apology not to accept the offer to get bin Laden. It was stupid Obama who ordered the murder of bin Laden and not his capture. When in his have you heard of not trying to capture the opposing commanders? Get your facts right and try again commenting.

Show me a credible source. Here's what I have:

Clinton: "So we tried to be quite aggressive with them [al Qaeda]. We got – well, Mr. bin Laden used to live in Sudan. He was expelled from Saudi Arabia in 1991, then he went to Sudan. And we’d been hearing that the Sudanese wanted America to start dealing with them again. They released him. At the time, 1996, he had committed no crime against America, so I did not bring him here because we had no basis on which to hold him, though we knew he wanted to commit crimes against America. So I pleaded with the Saudis to take him, ’cause they could have. But they thought it was a hot potato and they didn’t and that’s how he wound up in Afghanistan."

So the Saudis dropped the ball. You remember the Saudis (17 of the 19 9/11 hijackers) and business partners of the GHW and GW Bush.

Obummer is now on a level beneath Jimmy Carter. He should have ordered a tripling of the marines in the Arab and African nations with orders to shoot to kill. But then Obummer would have been ordering the troops to kill his kin!

Since you brought up both Jimmy Carter and history, let's go there.

1. What options was Jimmy Carter given by the Joint Chiefs when briefed about the Iran Hostages?

Joint Chief's answer: You can do nothing or nuke Tehran.

What was Carters answer: create Delta Force.

2. Republicans candidates have quite a history with dabbling without authorization in foreign crisis. Google "October Surprise" Jimmy Carter.

Nice comment about President Obama. What is your ancestry? Has this country ever fought a war with your relatives a few time removed. This is America...we're all originally from somewhere else.

"Talking about the Reps and Bush lying us into a war; just imagine what the liberal hero Al Gore would have done..."

First of all, if Al Gore was in the Oval Office we would have never gotten hit on 9/11 in the first place because Al Gore doesn't have terrorist friends that he grew up with, like George "Cureball" Bush.

Second of all, Al Gore was not an "oil man" like Bush and Cheney were, and Al Gore was not motivated by the thought of taking over the 2nd largest oil fields in the world which was Republicans' REAL motivtion for overthrowing the Iraqi government, and had nothing at all to do with 9/11.

Al Gore believes in clean air, clean drinking water and safe food for the American People. Furthermore, Al Gore would NEVER have lied us into war.

Al Gore is super intelligent and knows that burning fossil fuels is harmful to our planet, causes the melting of the polar ice caps, and causes global warming.

Triple Dog Dare -

Brush up on the facts. A fourteen-minute excerpt of the film was dubbed in Arabic and just recently released on YouTube. It is fairly obvious the intent was to foster anger.

Do you think Bill Maher was "promoting religious intolerance and provoking violence" when he made his religious documentary mocking and degrading Christians?

As a matter of fact I do. I wouldn't say he was "provoking violence" since the Christian religion doesn't call for a violent response, but he was certainly promoting religous intolerance.

Again, he has the right to say it, I have the right to condemn it. I would hope every decent person condemns speech that seeks solely to promote violence or intolerance.

We have to allow it, but we don't have to accept it or defend it. Would you defend someone advocating violence against the police or other authorities?

I watched the Ryan video and he had such original, heart felt words for those killed during the Libya tragedy that he had to refer, repeatedly, to his transcript. I've noticed lately he does this a lot. Guess they don't trust him to speak for himself.

Ryan is not only running for Vice President but also for Congress again in Wisconsin. Hopefully Wisconsin has realized what a liar he is and he will lose both elections.

Romney today sure proved what a nasty A$$hole he is. Lately he's been getting real defensive and angry with the news people, repeatedly, and at the end of this speech he just walks off, no thank you, nada. He truly is a real arrogant SOB.

@ofcourse1 The mission to get bin Laden was NOT to kill him AKA assassinate him. They would have preferred to capture him alive. He drew a weapon and they killed him.

You're really not representing yourself as one qualified to be calling others stupid, Stupid!

Obama/Biden 2012

It's hard to believe so many of you are missing (or maybe you do it on purpose) the fact that this statement from the Embassy was NOT in response to the violence, but sent out BEFORE it started. Look at the timeline in this article-it was released hours before. The Embassy exists for diplomatic services. They did what they should have done and attempted diplomacy to AVOID violence. And there is no way you can excuse Romney for not only putting out a statement that this was Pres. Obama's reaction to the violence, (which is obviously was not) but doing so without knowing all the facts and in the middle of a vary volatile and fluid situation. It shows a serious lack of understanding of foreign relations and diplomacy. And as usual, they won't admit they were wrong even though it's right in front of their faces, AGAIN!

ITripleDogDareYou!

Its terrifying how many people are posting without much knowledge of the situation. Please educate yourselves. Embassies represent the US Government overseas and the message they released was in extremely poor taste. The video that has created so much fervor was actually released by an Israeli-American in 2011. Its no coincidence that protesters in Egypt and Libya chose the anniversary of 9/11 to attack our Embassies, the video is just the excuse they used.
Why didn't President Obama address WHO attacked us, isn't that fact somewhat important? Is he afraid of upsetting fundamentalist Muslims? This is madness.

I don't know why he didn't addressed who attacked us, but to think he supports fundamentalist Muslims is downright offensive and discriminatory. This guy killed over two-thirds of al Qaeda's chain of command, led the operation to KILL Osama bin Laden, and has led the largest drone campaign in US HISTORY!!!!!!!! HOW THE @!$%# IS HE SYMPATHETIC TO MUSLIM FUNDAMENTALISTS????? Maybe the "race-baiters" are right; maybe the GOP is racist against Obama. After the bull@!$%# you and that idiot Harley Chic, I'm beginning to seriously consider the GOP a racist organization. And I once doubted this whole thing.

TNSEVOL
Do you think it is honorable to use the power of Free Speech to deliberately promote religous intolerance and provoke violence?

Whether we like it or not, every American has the right to free speech and can mock or condemn a religion. The film maker was not provoking violence. He made this in the US over a year ago and did not distribute it to Middle East. Do you think Bill Maher was "promoting religious intolerance and provoking violence" when he made his religious documentary mocking and degrading Christians? I hope not. Why is it a double standard for extremist Muslims?

That is where our freedoms conflict. We as Americans do have the right to criticize one another, but we must be pragmatic and level-headed when doing so. We cannot assume that people will take this with a laugh or a shrug. I think there is a double standard with extremist Muslims because in my opinion, they are still progressing when it comes to religion. It's not that I am anti-Muslim; I'm just saying that Muslims are in the phase where they are proud of their religion and will go insane over anybody mocking them. Christians and Jews have done that; we Christians had the whole Crusade and Reformation cluster@!$%# while Jews are nowadays becoming more religiously conservative (mostly in Israel). That doesn't excuse Muslims, though; I don't think we should ban all criticisms of religion. However, we have to understand that there are people who are very sensitive to this stuff, and we have to be careful when and where we criticize their beliefs. I mean, we're not that popular in the Middle East right now, and since they have lived in dictatorships for most of their history they have no experience with the separation of government and the press. That is why they are protesting the U.S. government; because they don't understand that the government does not control what the media does (at least not as much as dictatorships do).

OBAMA BIDEN 2012

"Romney is an ass."

Romney isn't fit to be president of the local home owners association let alone president of the US. Mitt -- you broke rule # 1 in foreign relations --- don't run your yap BEFORE YOU HAVE THE FACTS. Even George Bush knew that.

Ganddy,

Boohoo, you hurt my feelings. Nothing quite like trivializing an offensive act (the film) and the Embassy response (designed to quell the anger of Muslims) that triggered the murders of 4 US State Dept employees. That is what you are doing. It sounds like you believe Muslims should suffer because of Bin Laden's attack on 9-11. Many Muslims were also deeply hurt by the actions of Osama bin Laden on 9-11. They said ours is not a religion of hate or violence, but of peace. I heard them saying it, did you?

Religious tolerance is one of our founding principles too. To apologize for an offensive film protected by our right to freedom of speech says we believe in the principle of religious tolerance too. This is hard for some of these newly democratic countries to understand, so we must go out of our way to make it clear.

Our common enemy remains hate and religious intolerance. I'm sure you agree.

How on earth did this detailed timeline "mistakenly" omit the State Department tweets at 8 PM last night which were still focused on apologizing for the "insult" to Islam instead of the violent and deadly attacks???

Mittens is too dumb to even be a dog catcher. I'm starting to think that he really belongs with Sarah Palin. Together they can lock and load, and then unload, all over the State of Alaska. They both exercise the same foot in mouth (OK, I'll call it for what it is: early ejaculation) problem.

Just what we need - another knee-jerk neocon running around playing urban cowboy.

Didn't we learn anything from bankrupting this country in half-cocked wars?

Obama/Biden 2012

Wow, more left wing deflection of who's to blame for the attacks in Egypt and Lybia. The guy who made the film, offensive or not, had the constitutional right to do so. And if you're outraged at the disrepect it showed Islam, were you equally outraged when a bag of pus calling himself an artist published a photo of a crucifix submerged in a glass of urine?

From here, it looks like the blame has to fall on the shoulders of the guy who chose the Muslim Brotherhood to run Egypt and be our ally. I wonder how that Arab Spring thingy is working out for him.

Harley Chick - there is no such language as 'Islamic'.

Hurlme Chic: what does FB stand for? Fake Boobs in your case I suppose.

Obama had information that Romney didn't. It happens when you're, oh, say, the President!! I'm not going to judge Romney because of a lack of information.

so you give Romney a pass for opening his trap because he didn't have all the information? So now Romney gets to blame his own ignorance for his incompetence?

That is the point NorCalModerate, Romney should have kept his trap shut BECAUSE he did not have all the facts.

I hope Sam Bacile & Terry Jones's next movie features Joseph Smith & the Church of Latter Day Saints visiting Romney in a spaceship!

Such fun!

ok leftylibdems, park your objectivity on the shelf, pull out your righteous anger and thwarted idealism, and attack Romney and Bush, including sanctimoniously invoking Gore as a solutions provider. Heavens above, the ability of leftylibdem bloggers and idealogues to predict the future, past events, and mind-read to support their agendas exceeds the proven oil and natural gas reserves of this planet.

Since the recent past is our best predictor of the near future, anticipate 8%+ unemployment, economic stagnation, continued wasteful spending by the government, increased numbers on welfare, shrinking middle class, more violence and loss of life in the middle east, larger gap in economic distribution in the US, increased US debt, and more widespread and entrenched division between Americans along whatever lines du jour that BO champions.

Add to that potential conflict with Iran and Israel, European economic recession, and greater trade imbalances to produce a distasteful leftylibdem cake all will be forced to eat...except the rich who will simply take their chips off the table and ride out the storm in more favorable environs, leaving the bulk of the leftylibdems disillusioned, no longer hopeful for change, and angrier than ever no one is moving forward.

Have a nice day.

This time Romney has done an outstanding job of proving that he has sh*t for brains.

Worse still, Romney shows he does not have a conscious.

A person without a conscious is a dangerous person!

Lookie me! Lookie ME!!! I'm doing Foreign policy! Isn't this fun!!!

Romney is absolutely pathetic. He's made this about him. It isn't.

So how many swing voters you think this idiot got with this bone-head move?

Obama said Romney is shooting first and aiming later? What a hypocrite. How many times has the Obama administration done just that, and in his case said false things about Romney without the facts? Obama has countless amounts of Pinocchios; more than any other President in the history of the nation. And Romney wasn't lying. He is right. A condemnation of the actions in Libya and Egypt should have came first and no apologies. He should have just said that America does not support the viewpoint of the video, which was done by some Israeli bastard, unfortunately here in America.

This just shows how weak this President really is, and how weak we are seen in the Middle East.

Is there no level that Romney will lower himself to to get elected. Laura Ingram is happy, but the Fox Reality Poll has had Mitt dropping 1% every two days since the Convention. From a lead of 2.4% to now down by 3.1% Keep it up and create an Obama landslide! Repiblicans suck!

It amazes me how stupid many of the liberal posters are on this site. Obama is a horrible President and he proves that further and further every day.

What is it the people like about Obama's record anyway?

Over 8% unemployment for a record 43 months in a row? And if you believe it's only 8%, I have some oceanfront property (swampland) to sell you in Florida. Its well over 10%. Many have stopped looking for work and/or their unemployment ran out.

Over $16 trillion in debt and counting?

Over 14% unemployment for blacks?

Anemic economic growth?

No budget for the past three years as required by the Constitution?

Do you really want four more years of this?

Obama/Biden: Four more MONTHS!

Jesus Christ; will you just get to the @!$%#ing point??? I am tired of the short comments out here; I'm been searching for someone who has an ARGUMENT to propose.

Since the recent past is our best predictor of the near future, anticipate 8%+ unemployment, economic stagnation, continued wasteful spending by the government, increased numbers on welfare, shrinking middle class, more violence and loss of life in the middle east, larger gap in economic distribution in the US, increased US debt, and more widespread and entrenched division between Americans along whatever lines du jour that BO champions.

This is EXACTLY what we are going to get under Romney. Recessions stemming from a financial crisis ALWAYS end up slow and protracted, since consumers are trying to pay off the household debt that they've incurred over the past 40-50 years. The only way to REDUCE unemployment swiftly is to create more jobs that spend money, and the way to do that is to SPEND MONEY. On another note, most of the deficits have been caused either by the Bush policies or the recession, not Obama. Obama had a $4 trillion plan to reduce the deficit, but you Republicans @!$%#ed it up because you couldn't dare compromise with him. And the reason why the middle class is shrinking is because of REPUBLICAN policies; their policies against unions, for corporate greed, and lax financial and tax policies that have ONLY benefited the wealthiest Americans while wages for the rest of us stagnate. If you want to reduce the deficit, pay for needed things, AND decrease income distribution (which I am surprised that right-wingers like you would acknowledge), you need to RAISE taxes. I say let the Bush tax cuts expire, cut defense spending, reform the tax code by creating more brackets and raising upper-class rates, and reform entitlements while spending money in the short-term to rebuild our roads and employ millions of Americans. Is that good enough for you???

OBAMA BIDEN 2012

Is there no level that Romney will lower himself to to get elected.

The EXACT SAME THING can be said about Obama. He lied about many things to get elected in 2008 and people are too stupid to realize it. He is doing another snow job this time, lying repeatedly about what he will do with no plan to accomplish it. Pretty sad.

People have got to be telling themselves:

Fool me once, shame on you.

Fool me twice, shame on me.

And then go vote for Romney, who has a PROVEN RECORD OF SUCCESS in business creating jobs, in government as a governor of a state, and in saving the Olympics from disaster. Any of his shortcomings are far, far outweighed with where Obama is taking us;-- certain disaster. Obama is a Communist!

Romney put his foot in his mouth again?

Didn't know he ever removed it from his mouth.

I wouldn't be surprised if members of the GOP financed these terror hits since Romney is tanking in the polls.

Alan, I'm amazed at how stupid the posts here are for Romney. One says he has proven success, but what success? Outsourcing and 'I like firing people?" Also, no details of how he will create 12,000,000 jobs other than "Trickle down economics" Which didn't work the first time with bush and created this economic mess we are just now coming out of. Market up again today. Approaching a 6 year high. "Yes, I'm a heck of a lot better off than I was 4 years ago!

"General Motors is alive and Bin Laden is dead" Nice slogan except:

1. GM is on the verge of bankruptcy again! Seems you can't spend $89K to build a car you sell for $40K and make a profit!

2. "Obama, Obama, there's a billion Osamas"

Where did you make up that B S? Profits don't come from figures like you just quoted. Record profits I might add! A typical right wing mind! Dead or Dying!

The 1st Amendment right to 'free speech' has been limited in law for over a hundred years, at both state and federal levels.

FREE SPEECH IS CRIMINAL WHEN IT BECOMES "INCITEMENT TO RIOT." Therefore, Romney was absolutely, legally wrong in defending the filmmakers' 'right' to excoriate one of the world's major religions in a film. Apparently, he forgot anything he was ever taught in law school. Well, maybe he never learned.

No candidate for president has ever before criticized a sitting president as an international crisis is emerging because doing so is extremely dangerous to our national security. Romney shows he's no statesman, and lacks any dignity whatsoever, by leaping into an emerging international crisis before having a handle on the facts.

Romney has shown he cares less about our national security than about climbing over the bodies to score political points.

HE CONDEMNED THE STATEMENT THE AMBASSADOR HAD MADE WHILE THE MAN'S BODY WAS STILL WARM. The timing of the embassy statement is irrelevant. However!--if people were climbing walls into my sanctuary, you'd bet I'd issue a statement sympathetic to their grievances--if only to save my neck!

HE NAMED THE DECEASED AMBASSADOR BEFORE THE FAMILIES OF THE DECEASED HAD EVEN BEEN NOTIFIED. That's inexcusable and utterly despicable.

A couple of days ago, Romney was apparently told to move left--so he said he'd keep parts of the Healthcare Act. Then Palin and Limbaugh urged him to "seriously get aggressive"--and this is the result.

The man isn't even in charge of his own campaign. Who will be in charge if he's president???? The answer, of course, is those few billionaires who will have bought his election.

What the world heard today from Romney was that America may be willing to go to war to defend the outrageous, criminal behavior of a couple of people who insist on inciting riots likely to cause death.

The media-hungry pastor and the Israeli filmmaker have committed 2nd degree murder, which is defined as: "any unlawful act (here, incitement to riot) which is likely to result in death, and which does cause death." (As a retired felony prosecutor, I have handled such many times.)

Romney is a loose cannon--exactly wrong for our nation.

Again, however, I note how little genuine discussion occurs in these posts, and how much is just back-and-forth bashing with full obscenities. How can we move forward as a nation by skewering each other without any meaningful discussion of issues? The answer: we can't. C'mon, America! Remember "A house divided against itself cannot stand?" Think--who is served by this continuous polarization? Only the corporations trying to consume our government. Guess what? It's working out great for those corporations. Us? Not so much.

Freshie, most of the Al Quaida was killed by Bush, not Obama.

Romney called out the Obama administration for a policy that tolerates extremist and their desecration of our country. Too bad people can't handle someone who has the nerve to speak his mind.

Statements by our embassies are ALWAYS cleared by Washington. No ambassador would think of doing otherwise. It's obvious that Obama went into his typical 'Apologize for America' mode, but then backtracked when it backfired on him.

clywd - leave the reading and interpretation of Quarterly statement to those who actually understand what those mean.

Investment analysts noticed GM Cancelled a number of R&D projects for new models, Killed a number of hybrids, delayed R & D on replacements to current models, cut back on maintenance on, and delayed moderization of plants. The North American Sales increased 10% was the lowest of the major competitors, meaning they are continuing to lose market share. Despite the increase in sales, they did not clear much profit in north America. Where they got a surprise boost in sales on Opel, their European divisions. Amazing that they are making a profit in europe and can't seem to do that over hear!

GM cut now because they, and probably the analysts picked up on this, are expecting a huge expense next and are trying to build up for it. I wonder just what GM is worried about. Any ideas about what they are worried about?

"Obama should have tripled the guard in every embassy and issued orders to shoot to kill."

I have to agree with this, while this might piss off some Americans if that were to happen here, but the culture is a little different over there when it comes to death. Remember it is "ok" to kill men, women, and children that are on your side since they get a free trip to heaven. The majority of the people that attacked the embassies were THE ONES that the U.S. government has been spying on, spending money, and wanting to kill anyway. You just missed a golden opportunity morons.

Yes Obama sucks, but Mitt is worse. It would be nice if I/we did not have to choose between a douche and a turd sandwich, but those are the choices atm besides something radical. We only have ourselves to thank for it too.

"I say let the Bush tax cuts expire, cut defense spending, reform the tax code by creating more brackets and raising upper-class rates, and reform entitlements while spending money in the short-term to rebuild our roads and employ millions of Americans. Is that good enough for you???"

I agree again, we should have done that 4 years ago.

We no longer have "free speech" in this country and there are many times we cannot say certain words without getting in trouble. While Muslims might care what a crazed pastor does, NO ONE ELSE IN THIS COUNTRY DOES. WE IGNORE HIM, YOU ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT WATCH HIS VIDEOS. WE HAVE MUCH BETTER THINGS TO DO WITH OUR TIME.

At least the Christians were the only ones to respect 9/11 and did not attack us or try to bully us into another war. If I would have been Obama I would have had a few words for Netanyahu. Like "WHO THE F*** DO YOU THINK YOU ARE TO COME HERE ON 9/11 AND DEMAND THAT WE GET INVOLVED IN ANOTHER WAR. Are you not the reason 9/11 happened in the first place? This is how you treat allies? You go for a powerplay on 9/11? WTF is wrong with you?" I would not meet with him either, waste of time, only a moron would not know what he wants. If I did I would have to smack the chit out of him, no need for armies and countless deaths. Someone just needs an a$$whooping is all, and needs to be brought back down to earth/reality like many others.

John Doe, the fact is that liberals hate everything that does not follow their template! They constantly try to denigrate Catholics by calling all of their priests child molestors, all of their teaching "radically conservative and terrible for women". They do not like Israelis, whom I totally respect because of their ability to pull themselves out of the depths of the holocaust, and create a virtual paradise from a kitty litter box! They call Tea Party members, who only want to have their beliefs and faith respected, "Tea Baggers"! The only weapon that the liberals have any more is HATE! But, they have this incredible need to have people who hate ALL Americans just because we exist to love them!

I have seen many of these liberal posters say that Romney had no right to say anything negative about Obama when he has not been elected as President, yet. But, I do remember Obama having a "European Vacation" in which he constantly denegrated this country and apologized to everyone he could! He has bowed to Saudi princes and had his wife try to hug Queen Elizabeth (a huge faux pas!). How about his Christmas gift to the British Prime Minister, DVDs which would not play in British DVD players! Obama has regularily stated that he thinks that the US does not deserve what the people here have created! The press has eaten up all of his garbage with a spoon! What would happen if Romney bowed to ANY foreign ruler, or said that we had 57 states in the US? They would crucify him and ridicule his voters as "red-neck, hillbilly, religious fanatics"! The liberals are beginning to see the writing on the wall that their days of ruling will be soon over, and, they are beginning to panic! We will see what will happen in November when Obama is fired and the Republicans take the Senate and keep their majority in the House!

Romney/Ryan 2012!!!!!!!

Romney is truly pathetic. He will say anything to get elected. He was politicizing the issue while the ambassador's body was still warm. Absolutely disgusting. Not to mention the whole apology angle is a blatant lie and, NEWS FLASH Mittens, Muslim fundamentalists in Libya or Egypt or any other country, don't care about the Constitution's right to free speech. Looking at Romney's apology equals weakness equals attacks another way, does that mean Bush was apologizing to Muslims before the worst terrorist attack upon our country on 9/11?

Finally, Caesar, please stop using the word "dystopian" until you look it up in a dictionary. It doesn't seem like you know what the word means.

Just What We Need Another Example Of Barry & Hillary's Inexperience At Work! Now Odumba Complain About Romney's Shoot First And Aim Later Totally Disregarding The Fact They Caused This Situation In Libya With Their Secret Support For Al-Qaeda When Every REAL EXPERT Said Do Not Get Involved In Their So Called Arab Spring.......And Now Odumba & Billary Want To Do The Same Thing In Syria?

Nonsense And Just One More Reason Why We Should NOT RE-ELECT Obama............Refuse To Reward Arrogance and Dishonesty........Refuse To Re-Elect ANY Of These Wall Street Corrupted Demo/RepubloRAT Incumbent Failures!

Back Stabber Barry May Have A Bad Attitude But He Can't Fight His Way Out Of a Wet Paper Bag!

At Least With Romney Al-Qaeda May FEAR US Once Again!

Dan, you're reaching,, cherry-picking events and distorting facts. Obama never apologized and he did not bow in submission. Don't remember the hug or dvds and don't care. If we're going tit-for-tat, I remember Bush kissing the prince and Merkel's astonished expression when he massaged her shoulders.

Anyway, Democrats and Republicans, liberals and conservatives all have insulting names they call each other (e.g. see MUW's comments above). My recollection is the name-calling actually began with Rush Limbaugh calling liberals "libtards." That was quickly and gleefully parroted by every anonymous republican or conservative. Although pundits and voters have piled on, you have to admit that Obama has remained one of the only adults above the childish fray.

Maybe instead of playing these schoolyard games republicans should make the adult argument that Romney alluded to but is afraid to take a stand upon...that America should have jumped into Libya and Egypt to push democracy when they had the so-called revolutions. That's a legitimate question worthy of discussion. It might be wrong but it's a fair question. As would how we pay for the intervention, whether America has the stomach for it and whether it would lead to more endless police actions.

The Obama-love media, as usual, gives Obama a pass and focuses like lasers on Romney. Sorry, the timing of the attacks on the Libyan embassy, 9-11, says it all. Obama has ushered in the Arab Spring, he stood quietly by while Iran killed it's protesters and yet when Egypt was revolting, both he and Hillary were there 100%. Obama has invited the Muslim Brotherhood into the WH while telling Netanyahu to pound sand because he is too 'busy' to meet with the leader of a foreign nation, attending Letterman shows and fundraisers are far more important to him.

Obama is the very best friend of the Muslim Brotherhood, he also made the Taliban 'friends' and turned his back on the Iranian people and the Israelis. It now seems highly likely that Iran has acquired a nuclear weapon (this according to the UN atomic weapons council) and Obama will do what? Probably friend Iran if his actions are any indication. The "october surprise' could be starting now.

clwyd-2621393 Perhaps you should occasionally get your news somewhere other than PMSNBC. Even ABC news carried the story. A volt costs $89K to build, they sell it for $40K. GM will go down again, conveniently after the election! Try pulling your head out of the dark and remote place you seem to keep it.

ysolo, great point. Like it's just a coincidence this happened on 9/11. And, what can you do? Muslims try to have a peaceful demonstration about an affront to their religion and some nuts show up with rocket launchers. Can't they just have a peaceful Muslim fundamentalist rally without some nutcase crashing the party with military-grade weapons?

The movie had nothing to do with this and it wasn't a spontaneous event. Problem is, what are you going to do? We can't go to war with the entire Muslim world and Muslims don't seem interested in policing themselves. One of the obvious answers? Energy independence. Not drill, baby, drill because the oil will get sold to China on the free market. I mean wind and solar power and electric cars...heck, even liquid hydrogen (which is really the wave of the future after batteries have run their course)

I get tired of the way most of the media gives Obama a pass and then jumps all over his opponent which this election is Romney. We saw the same thing when he ran against McCain. Obama right after 9/11 made a appology has a senator to our attackers and then under pressure recanted those remarks. Its like here we go again. The Embassy made similar remarks and 8 or 9 hours later after Romney responds to those remarks Obama says he did not authorize those remark. Why did it take so long to respond to the original Embassy remarks which had been retweeted after the attack? Obama acted like it wa no big deal. He went about his business of campaining instead of taking care of the nations business. But then again thats been the story for the past year now. Yet his loyal followers do not care they will do or say anything to excuse his poor performance and behavior. Obama does not belong in office and should have never been in office. I pretty much put all that blame on the media. Obama has created a mess in the middle east and is making it worse. Since when do we stop holding our leadership accountable? Why can we not hold this president accountable to the same standards we held past presidents accountable? I saw a democrat on TV today saying he would be perfectly OK with taking the US over the fiscal cliff. Yet does anyone in that party care? I don't think so. They will not be happy until this country is in ruins.

Since the recent past is our best predictor of the near future, anticipate 8%+

Yeah, let's look at the recent past...

...the numbers for Bush's last three months. Between October and November, 597,000 jobs were lost; between November and December, 681,000 were lost; and between December and January, 741,000 were lost.

April 2012 marks the 26th straight month of gains in private-sector employment, for a total of 4.2 million private-sector jobs.

Dec 29, 2008 (Bloomberg) U.S. corporate earnings fell for a sixth-straight quarter, the longest streak in at least 20 years, as consumer spending on automobiles, homes and retailers collapsed.

May 11, 2012 Fortune magazine released its ranking of the 500 biggest US corporations Monday, which showed that they received a record-breaking $824 billion in combined profits in 2011, up 16 percent from 2010.

Mitt Romney has already hired all of George W. Bush's economic advisors, espouses the same "voodoo economics" that George W. Bush did and promises to decrease the national debt by decreasing even further government revenue from taxes.

So if we use the recent past as the best predictor of the near future, electing Mitt Romney will lead to another economic crash, even more Americans unemployed and another useless 10 year war (probably with Iran the way the war drums are beating) that will enrich nobody but Halliburton and Dick Cheney.

Nope, not the future I want for America - I'll be voting a straight Democratic ticket!

Harley Chic.... based on all the lies you've been passing on...you probably ride a scooter LOL

Typical Right wing campaigning from the right wing bloggers.... can't win with truth, can't find facts to back your position...LIE!!!!

EEngineer... In case you have not noticed we now have 16 trillion in debt. 4.5 million jobs which Bernanke says he created 2.5 million of then not Obama. You will also notice the unemployment rates is snot moving except for the fact people are stopping looking for jobs which would explain the huge uptick in welfare and food stamps.

Second the reason that the unemployment rates is not coming down is because this president does not know how to help the economy create jobs. He is barely keeping up with new entrants to the market. ( BTW real unemployment according to Obama is 14.7%)

The ratings agencies are getting ready to downgrade our debt again. This translates into higher interest rates on our debt. This will make for bigger deficiets. We will end up like greece.

I find it funny that you are so willing to give all these free passes to Obama and not hold him to the same standards that you hold other presidents. We cannot continue to run up debt on our grand children. That is stupid and nothing but a cowards way out. I care about my grand children too much to do that to them.

Do the research. Obama is a president who was frequently unwilling to say the pledge of allegiance or even hold his hand over his heart during his 2008 campaign stops. Upon assuming the office, he initiated his well known "apology tour" where he apologized to Muslims for America's historic role a the world's policeman.

Ironically, those who believe the upcoming election is somehow about political differences between Democrats vs. Republicans are the saddest of creatures serving only as pawns in a cleverly cloaked war of ideologies. In the face of an overwhelming abundance of more recently uncovered information, it has become evident Obama is not a true American Democrat, but rather a closet Marxist whose dangerous anti-American and anti-colonialism agenda has metastasized into a pathological cancer on our society.

Active members of the single issue constituencies supporting him are on their own self-serving fool’s errand. Under Obama you may win the right for homosexual marriage, the right to murder the unborn or the right to live on welfare with no effort being required to find a job or improve you lot in life and live with socialized medicine. But, if the end result is electing a man determined to marginalize America at any cost, will you or your family truly be better off. The answer is a resounding NO! Wake up America!

As a result of his socialist agenda and reckless fiscal policy, Obama ratcheted up America’s Debt to GDP ratio at an unthinkable rate placing America in a very similar position to that of of Portugal, Ireland and Italy.

Anyone with even a scintilla of intellectual acumen need only glimpse at the impact "Obama style socialism" has had in Europe to bear witness to America's future under Obama. On the verge of defaulting on government debts, people are living under crushing austerity measures. Countless jobs have been wiped out; the official unemployment rate is 15-21%. Salaries have been cut to the bone. Pensions and health benefits have been slashed. Tourism industry is a shambles. Tens of thousands of workers have taken to the streets to protest a problem they thought they'd never see in their lifetime! In picturesque plazas, beggars outnumber tourists and protesters outnumber beggars. In front of Parliament, riot police stand watch to protect big spending socialist lawmakers from angry mobs.

Take a good look at your future under Obama! I hope you will enjoy your life living under a bridge! Think it won't happen. You better start paying attention to basic economics!

Thank you, mainstream media.

Obama has NO chance of re-election without your help. Keep up the good work.

Journalism used to be a respectable occupation. Now the majority of them are just part of the problem.

Romney is in a deep hole that seriously agitates the Republican base who never trusted him in the first place. He is so frantic in his search to find a way out that he jumps at everything that moves. He jumped on this too early on with intentions to blow a huge nasty fart in the President's face. We all know such acts sometimes back-fire on us.

Imagine standing on a national stage for all the world to see as you huff and puff for your desired affect to suddenly realize you only crapped all over yourself. I think most of us would make a sincere apology as we rapidly exit the stage. Not your guy. He stood there with his own stinky mess running out of his pants legs and covering his shoes as he steadfastly denied and ignored the mess.

I could feel sorry for him if he was running for 6th grade class president. Instead, it scares me that he and some others believe he should become the next President of the United States.

Here is what I know of the recent events:

• This administration used military force without congressional approval to displace the leadership of Libya to allow the muslim brotherhood to take power
• This admistration called for Mubarak to step down and supported the muslim brotherhood in Egypt both financially and within the world community
• This administration sent a message on 9/11...a day when muslim fanatics killed thousands of our citizens, APOLOGIZING for our freedom of speech.
• The only action that this administration has taken is to make a speech and "condemn" the riots
• This president won't meet with the Prime Minister of Israel because his campaign schedule is too busy

This is not leadership. Obama has taken a back seat, he has diminished both the power and influence of our country. His threats are empty as are his words. He has failed to support our allies, and instead has been giving and gracious to those who wish us harm.

Romney was not wrong in his statement that this is not leadership. That the administration should be condemning the violence and intolerance of the muslim people, and not freedom of speech.

Turn on the news folks....look at the pictures. See how our ambassador was treated in a country that we financially and militarily supported. Obama is an utter failure. He is more concerned with criticizing his campaign opponent than doing his job.

DB Akron, it doesn't appear that there is much to worry about and certainly they are not selling $65,000 cars for $40,000 or do you believe that B.....S?

Greg DH, The problem is when FOX has the words "Fair and Balanced as part of their them and then "the Five " are always 4 against 1 . In between they have all the right wing opinions that just flow out from all their reporters. Like, Obama says he's, "God!" I never heard him say that or even imply that?

It isn't even journalism!

Again, Obama has shown his inability to handle matters that require actions, not words. Like it or not Romney's statements reflected his ability to assess what had happened in Egypt so much quicker than Obama, if he ever did.

This is what we need in new leadership, not a leader that is more concerned with condemning Gov Romney than condemning what has taken place in Egypt. Also, a leader that is more concerned about OUR well being as opposed to his OWN agenda.

Kevin, Where did you make that garbage up. McCain had Palin and that was the end of ever thinking of winning for them! Nobody jumped all over him like Romney is doing now to Obama! How can you be so blind?

Another inbred democrat.... So you claim April 2012 marks the 26th straight month of gains in private sector employment.... well, well, well... where's your supporting facts?... or better yet, from what planet are you from, and from where do you obtain the BS data you're spewing out.... from Barry Soretoro, or is it Obama, I can't remember, ever since he had all his school records sealed? Wonder why?..... who could possibly figure that one out.

Anyway, and with regards to your BS,.... not even CNN or MSNBC wout put their name on the big bag of crap-facts you're carrying. You sir, are full of shyt.

Just another liberal fool who continues and persist on blaming G.W. Bush for Bill Clinton's, Barney Frank's, Nancy Pelosi's and Franklin Raines's handy work. Learn to read, and educate yourself, rather than letting the Lame Stream Media fill your corrupt weak mind.

http://www.senseoncents.com/tag/fannie-mae-franklin-raines-barney-frank-relationship/

Bill Clinton, sold this country out, for the sake of how his presidency would appear. And you're living proof that there are fools out there willing to swallow it up, out of you're own inbred mentality, hook line and sinker.

For your information, and the rest of the inbred Democrats and Liberals (yes, I repeat myself, I know)... Bill Clinton was the hammer that forced Federally insured banks to loan money to minorities, regardless of whether they had the collateral or not. A purely Racist action.

Watch closely, wake-up and smell the BS you and the other inbred democrats and liberals keep dishing out.

And you're also full of shyt about Romney having already aligned Bush & Cheney's economic advisors, but if it were true, that would be a huge plus. Because it was Bush's advisors (in April 2001, less than 3 months after taking office) that warned and prediced the Fannie Mae and Freedy Mac chrisis, and impending Housing Bubble..... Looooong before it ever became real. But your champions in the Lame Stream Media and the democrats on the hill were all to willing to pile the Blame on Bush, since he was Commander and Chief at the time.

I'm proud of never singing the national anthem or the pledge or my hand over my heart. I'm patriotic in other ways and don't feel I have to do those things. I do stand respectfully and that should be enough. I don't belong to a religious CULT that has its members swear to put their church first.

Where's Barry Soetoro, why isn't he talking and beating his chest about the Lybia he seeked to liberate on his own, with the advise of both legislative branches? He left the door wide open for terrorist to institute their own in high places, and now more American's are dead (even his own appointees) for his dumbasss actions.

Own, but there's Romney sticking his foot in his mouth, lets focus on that, and forget about what Barry did. Let's sweep that one under the rug, and keep a critical eye on Romney.

kkwilson, except Romney was wrong and blamed Obama for the statement that came out of the Egyptian embassy. That is why so many republicans are telling him the same thing as I just said! Rush to judgement isn't good for a president and that is what Romney does!

Let me see - Obama places American military personnel in jeopardy to help establish a radical extremist Muslim government of known terrorists in Libya and the result is those very same radical extremist Muslim terrorist slaughtered 5 Americans to include a WHITE MALE CHRISTIAN US Ambassador. Obama is directly responsible for these murders - its as if he personally held the weapon that slaughtered these Americans. Time to evict this American muslin terrorist from the White House. Time to impeach this traitor

Obama is directly responsible for these murders - he is might as well pulled the trigger - these radical muslim extremist were placed in power by our own personal muslim terrorist occupying the White House

gee what did you think was going to happen there. you can call Mitt a war monger from what i seen liberals posting or you can say Obama brought this about cuz he bombed Libya on his own. remember that ?

Now, now, the Obama supporters don't want to acknowledge that Obama has essentially handed the keys of the Middle East and Africa to radical Islam. They cannot comprehend it. The leftist media (I no longer call leftists liberals, true liberals no longer exist, they have been replaced by radical leftists) is focusing all their attention on Romney, not one is actually even looking at what is currently happening in Egypt nor are they giving much attention to the murders in the Libyan embassy. Nope, that's not the story, don't look at the flag burnings and embassy stormings, nope, let us talk about Romney.

The braindead, those who refuse to look at what is happening in the Middle East are ignoring a powder-keg and they do so because Obama doesn't look too presidential. No, far more important that Obama be campaigning than focusing on global affairs. We have an ambassador murdered along with three other nameless Americans, attacks on US consulates, threats of more violence and fearless leader is going to ignore Israel and slap his face on David Letterman, boy does he have HIS priorities straight. Rather reminiscent of Nero fiddling as Rome burned.

DB Akron

Freshie, most of the Al Quaida was killed by Bush, not Obama.

I said chain of command, not average-joe terrorists. And Bush got only a few of the major leaders in his 8 years; Obama got at least two in 3.5 years, and one of them was the LEADER.

Frankly, considering the fact that those extremist Islamists overthrew a DICTATORSHIP, I could care less. At least the people got what the wanted; if that is an Islamist dictatorship, then we have no right to overthrow a government that they support. If they don't support it, than they have to fight the government and ask for our help; then and only then will we act. You fail to mention the dictatorships that PRECEDED these Islamist nations, and we SUPPORTED those dictatorships even while claiming to support democracy. I don't give a damn about what foreign analysts say; in the long-term, our global image will be repaired if we stopped supporting dictatorships and only intervened when other countries either ask for our help or it involves our direct interests. And even then, we should try to get a coalition of countries to help us out. THAT is the smartest strategy, the complete antithesis of the neoconservative "go it alone" invasion strategy.

OBAMA BIDEN 2012

Until we, as a nation, root out the extremists in our own politics, how can we ask other nations to root out theirs? Neither Romney, nor any other conservative, has condemned this extremely stupid and lying film that started this controversy. They all defend this slanderous bunch of lies as freedom of speech. Well, freedom of speech does not cover outright lies, no matter how much the right wing lies. If we want the Muslim world to condemn their extremist factions, we need to set an example by condemning our own extremist factions.

Let's start with so many of you right wing contributors to this very thread. Your ignorance and blind, irrational hatred and lies have historical precedents, but not ones that you would find flattering. You are the problem in this country and until you wake up, we can not become any better as a nation.

I wonder how much the "think tanks' paid to have this film made. I would not be surprised if they and isreal paid this guy. If there is a god, the true justice will be that the people who killed the ambassador and the guys behind this film will rot together in hell.

Riddle me this Harley Puss. Do you or any other conservative poster here have any skin in this game?

His name to me was Vile Rat... For over ten years we talked, laughed, plotted, and got to know each other very well. He was a friend and I don't have many of them. His last words were, "@!$%#" and "Gunfire". I learned today after much worrying and long silence that he was one of the four that was killed in Libya. His name was Sean Smith but to me and his friends he was Vile Rat. Is that enough or would you like more? He has a wife, he has kids... I don't know what the hell they are going to do now that he is gone.

RIP buddy.

On a different note this one is just coming from me. I have a slightly additional thing to say to you and the others who like to play these @!$%#ing political games... Go @!$%# yourself.

This film is amatuerish to an embarassing degree. No "think tank", even the most right wing, would pay for this trash. The Tea Party, Newt Gingrich, Texas Republicans in general, on the other hand, I'm not so sure...

Quality and veracity have never been hallmarks of their rhetoric.

Well, you either have a state 'approved' religion or you don't. The Government (Republican or Democratic) either allows all films about all religions, or they start censoring religious films. I think most American's would agree that we don't want the Republicans or the Democrats to start supporting or banning films that they don't like or don't like, or that don't represent their views, or that are either supportive or are critical of any give religion.

This film may be a disgrace, BUT we need to protect free speech on both 'correct' and 'incorrect' literature. As Larry Flint said: "You don't need the 1st Amendment to protect popular literature, you need it to protect unpopular literature."

That being said, when I heard the initial press release, I have to admit - it sounded like an apology to me. It sounded like the US Government's first response was to say ''OH, we're sorry if someone in the USA offended you, please don't be mad at us, we're sorry." Of course, their intention may have been just to secure the safe release of the embassy personnel first, and I can certainly understand that as the first priority, but it did sound like an apology at first to me.

......obama vows to track down ambassador's killers...
What a joke..track them down....NEWS flask BOZOhussan...they are your MuslimBROS!!!
Remember them???,,You & over-the-HILLary .put them in power!!..hOWS THAT WORKING FOR YA!!!???

Sorry, I was tying to edit that and ran out of my 5 Minute edit window.... :)

I was trying to say that I'm not meaning to stick up for this film in particular, the film sounds like a huge piece of crap made by a lying nutbag. However, I also think that several of Michael Moore's films are filled with outright lies too, but I also firmly believe that he HAS TO have the right to make them, regardless of if I agree or disagree with his point of view or if I think his films are filled with lies.

This film may be a disgrace, BUT we need to protect free speech on both 'correct' and 'incorrect' literature. As Larry Flint said: "You don't need the 1st Amendment to protect popular literature, you need it to protect unpopular literature."

Mitt Romney does not have the right to speak for Americans today, only for himself as a citizen. Unfortunately, that is likely not clear to the rest of the world. To come out of the gate appearing to defend some idiot in California by way of freedom of speech is beyond belief. Please, Mitt Romney, until the day comes that you will be held responsible for the repercussions of your words, please stick to domestic issues so we can avoid airing our dirty laundry (extremist right wing talking points) on the international stage. Please.

Rick Santorum is a religious fruit cake, but he's head and shoulder above Romney. As misguided as Santorum's ideology and positions are, at least he sticks to them and doesn't flip-flop like a slinky going down an endless staircase. But even more important, Santorum has ethics and scruples, qualities thoroughly missing in Romney.

Even lap-dog Ryan displayed more appropriate behavior than his idiot boss. How desperate is one when you try to use the death of Americans to gain political ground. This guy will stop at nothing to get what he wants. He proved it during the republican primary and is doubling down in the presidential campaign.

Go ahead you right wing nut jobs. Continue supporting this egomaniac. PATHETIC......

US sends Marines to Libya after ambassador’s killing

By Bill Van Auken
13 September 2012

The Obama administration has dispatched an elite unit of Marine special forces to Libya after the killing of the US ambassador and three other US personnel in the storming of the American consulate in Benghazi Tuesday.

The killing of Ambassador Christopher Stevens, the first such killing of a US envoy since the death of Washington’s ambassador to Afghanistan in 1979, together with the breaching the walls of the US embassy in Cairo by Islamist demonstrators, touched off bitter political recriminations in Washington.

The Libyan attack is by all appearances a case of the chickens coming home to roost. Ambassador Stevens was himself very much involved in executing a policy that culminated in his own demise. The war for “regime change” that ended with the lynch-mob murder of former leader Muammar Gaddafi last October was prosecuted by means of US-NATO bombardment and the arming, training and financing of “rebels” that included Islamist elements closely connected to Al Qaeda. Now it appears that these same elements have killed Stevens.

While designed to install a puppet government subordinate to the interests of Washington and the Western oil companies and to teach China a lesson as to who runs North Africa, the war has produced what in the parlance of the intelligence services is known as blowback.

No doubt a contributing factor to Tuesday’s bloody events is the fact that the US-NATO war has brought no benefit to masses of Libyans, who are increasingly embittered over the devastation of their country…

The United States deplores any intentional effort to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. So all you quacks that have no religion and bash others with faith beware. We were founded on religion and will march all over your a**. I really like that. Maybe we can start here on this web site and see if MSNBC stands with America or against her.

Obama and the Donkey blaming everyone and apologizing.

Romney/Ryan 8 glorious years of values. Amen!! The liberals will be withering nothings.

Typically Bush league of romney. Both literally and figuratively.

The GOP really has a serious problem with big mouthed, ignorant, "bring it on" chicken hawk politicians.

“We are shocked that, at a time when the United States of America is confronting the tragic death of one of our diplomatic officers in Libya, Governor Romney would choose to launch a political attack.”

To prevent future recurrences of these attacks it might be a good idea not to make statements sympathetic to the enemy. I'm "shocked" that this administration is more incompetent than I thought not to realize this.

NorCalModerate - You totally miss the point - ROmney, once again, in his anxiety about being behind in the polls saw an oppportunity to make some political hay by apppealing to the LCD (like the zeroes who get on the net and complain about "Bowing TOUrs" Happpily this naked maneuver was blown up when reality set in. DOn't you understand that ROmney has responsibility as candidate (which he ignored?) It's kind of like when he annnounced his VP choice early out of anxiety. If this man can't keeep his poweder dry during the elction how willl he respond when lives are on the line? Luckily we'lll never need to find out.THis man is not ready to lead the country. As far as waiting until he gets his hands on the Presidential wheeel. My advice, of course, "Don't hold your breath."

"The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims – as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions. Today, the 11th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, Americans are honoring our patriots and those who serve our nation as the fitting response to the enemies of democracy. Respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of American democracy. We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is truly a foolish statement, I realize this movie that was being made is stupid (although I'm sure most of us have not heard any of it) one of the cornerstones of democracy is the right to say what you believe even if it offends another person's religion. The US embassy might as well have given the protesters cans of gasoline and matches with this statement.

A better statement would have been to acknowledge the stupidity of the movie but remind people that in a free country you must tolerate the opinion of others.

I still have not seen one reporter ask our president if he supports that horrible statement from our embassy, he has distanced himself from the comment by saying they did not approve the statement but no followup has ever been asked,, reporter's do your job.

We have a new generation of young Muslims growing in an era of hate over the western culture. Nothing is going to change if we continue helping radicals take over their government. The president of Egypt was a dictator and did bad things, but the Muslim Brotherhood is even worst. Obama is taking the wrong path, our intelligence warned about this danger, but Obama has a different idea. Obama is not a Muslim, nor a Christian but according to his autobiography hs father is a Muslim, his step father is a Muslim his mother an atheist , he move to Indonesia which is a Muslim country, he went to public school, he study the Koran there is any doubt that those experiences are different than a regular American, born and rise in US it had an have in his live and in his vision toward Meddle East and Israel. His position over in favor of a huge Muslim Center across the Twin Towers, the nomination of Imam Rauf , as his personal envoy to the Middle East, the same person who was the head of the Islamic complex , that create too many doubts. I guess is why Obama fail in foreign policy toward Meddle East, this is why his slow response to the attacks in Libya, where Ambassador Stevens wast killed by a mob , after Libya hour of the Embassy surrounded by violent protesters and the authorities of Libya and President Obama did nothing.

Romney did not made any mistake criticizing Obama.

Obama walk away from reporters telling that the statements of the Embassy in Libya where no official statements ??????

Obama is not ready to answer the call at 3 AM . State Department spoke woman agree with the Romney statement.

Now the whole media bias try to help President Obama , they are in damage control operation

Lyin' Ryan/Romney are just plain stupid a$$es. Look forward to more of this world-wide calamity if these jacka$$es are put into office...

3) Sorry, but neither breaches of our compound or angry messages will dissuade us from defending freedom of speech AND criticizing bigotry!

This tweet from the Embassy sums it up as they pushed back on the misguided comments from Team Willard!

Freedom is not free....Words have consequences....careful what you say/do!

At least Paul Ryan was smart enough to not criticize the President in the midst of the situation.

While not praising the President, they also did not criticize him.

I guess when the only thing you are used to doing is making money, you don't know what it means to have lives at risk by the words you say.

Falling poll numbers are taking a toll on Republitards...Willard looks like he's had one too many Rolaids, I really doubt he's gonna win this election if he continues to run his mouth and let teabaggers dick-tate what he says....cant think straight while teabaggin...dont know how they do it...

And exactly what does Obama know? He kept U.S. troops and support of the rebels out of Libya. Just like Carter kept support of the Shah of Iran out of Iran.

This creatures only know that might makes right!

Job1 and you believe that you and Obummer know anything??????

And when did you repeal the amendment on freedom of speech?

ofcourse: So tell us, when the action was starting in Libya, which of the right-wing talking points did you take - "we need to go in now! we need to stay out! we need to be part of a broad coalition! we don't need no stinking coalition!"

See it's easy when you take all positions all the time - then you get to pick and choose between them later when you're attacking the other side. You deserve candidate Etch-a-Sketch Romney.

Hey Doc, the teabagger and teabaggin thang. Great post. Really cool stuff. You are about as informed as a tire! Slug

Wrong again Job1 but hey at least your consistant in your ignorance.

Hey Joe Thomas, a Tire is more informed than a Teabaggin tard...Slug

DocHolliday-2979123

Falling poll numbers are taking a toll on Republitards...Willard looks like he's had one too many Rolaids, I really doubt he's gonna win this election if he continues to run his mouth and let teabaggers dick-tate what he says....cant think straight while teabaggin...dont know how they do it...

Hey Doc, it get's worse. Romney's not listening to Tea Baggers any more. He hired GW Bush's Neo-Conservative advisoes, at least for foreign affairs and economics. So remember folks...a vote for Romney is a vote for GW Bush on steroids.

GOP -

job1 - obama has "all" that experience he learned in the 3 yrs he has been on the natl scene.

That's three more years than Romney and Ryan put together. Add in VP Joe Biden's extensive experience in foreign affairs and it is a clear choice.

Besides, like President Obama said - he is the President. He has made the tough decisons that Romney can only talk about.

Almost every situation that Romney has talked about has demonstrated his total lack of judgement and his complete lack of competence to be Commander-in-Chief.

justin.case

I really like hypothetical, don't you? Here's one for you:

You are walking down the street of your hometown and you see a man attacking a woman who is dressed in traditional Muslim garb; both speak fluent english; do you:

1. Go to her aid?

2. Call the police?

3. Cheer on the attacker?

4. Help him assault her?

Just curious.

and again, justin case, here's the actual passage from The Audacity of Hope that you keep misquoting:

"In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for instance, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific reassurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction"

Obama was saying he would not vote to intern an entire group of American citizens based solely on their religion or ethnicity, reminding us of the wrong done to Japanese Americans who were interned just because of their ethnicity during World War II. Since this is both the moral and the constitutional stance to take, I fail to see why anyone would have a problem with it.

The diplomats under siege in Libya received no support from Mitt Romney.

While people are trying to kill you the presumptive presidential candidate is throwing you under the bus.

republicans would assault her- americans would do what we were taught to do as children- help someone in trouble

Viktor Spinotti When you take a bath, do you put one foot in the tub? Obummer wanted to play it smart and not spoil his chances for reelection. Obummer is not fit to be a military commander. He had bin Laden murdered instead of captured. He didn't take the time to install a prowestern government in Iraq and he is playing blind man's bluff in Iran. Obummer doesn't know one day to the next what he is going to do. He has no military or political plan for whatever he thinks he is doing. Obummer is a blind man in a room with no light, in the middle of a night with no moon.

You have to admit that. I have seen no plans how he expected or expects to make the Iraq and Afghanistan was turn out in the U.S. favor? Where are the agricultural experts teaching the opium farmers to grow cash crops? Where is the carpet bombing of the Afghanistan/Pakistan border to teach the bastards a lesson? Where was the political cadres in Iraq paving the way for a pro western government? NONE, NOTHING, NOT A WORD!

Eric-913730 You have a problem. Romney is not commander in chief of the armed forces. He could not have done anything and can no nothing more than you can. However you can change all that by voting for Romney, then you would have a legitimate cause.

Obummer should have ordered, due to the anniversary of 9/11 tripled the guard in all embassies and ordered shot to kill when/if attacked.

ofcourse: Don't try to pin the blame for W's failures in Iraq and Afghanistan on the current administration. And of course I'm sure that you of all people should be privy to the plans being formulated for either country, since you'd no doubt be a safe choice to be given top secret national defense-related information.

And I prefer showers, not that it's any of your business, perv.

Ol_Doc your right listen to Obummer and find the U.S. a third rate country. Why you @!$%#ing dopes don't appreciate, applaud and understand success is beyond me. You have had your president for 3 1/2 years and what have you gotten out of it. A two year stall with his own party in congress. New unfavorable trade deals with South Korea, Austrlaia and New Zealand. A president who can't compromise with a divided congress and an idiot as a commander in chief. The car companies who have gone through chapter 11 without government aid and Biden would not have thrown 500,000,000 to a foreign car company to compete with G.M. According to a NBC article, GM is losing $50,000 on every electric car. At least Romney knows how to read a balance sheet.

Viktor Spinotti Of course you have to blame Obummer. He is president and commander in chief. Who else are you going to blame? Obummer is your idol and chief idiot. Don't you want a prowestern government in Iraq? Don't you want our troops out of Afghanistan and both Afghanistan and Pakistan to tremble when the U.S. whispers?

You actually think that knocking off one or two taliban leaders every week is going to change their minds? Look up the facts Muslims have an average of almost 7 children per family. There are new soldiers and chiefs being born and taking the place of the killed ones faster than you can type.

BUT if you carpet bomb and demonstrate overriding force that will decimate them faster than they can propagate, they will stop and think. Take a few days and read the works of Machiavelli.

Obama went to college. He must have read history. The allies in wwII after they won the war, put in prowestern governments in every country that they liberated. Now why the @!$%# didn't they do that in Iraq and Afghanistan?

"Wow the libtard posters are out in force today. Good thing, now we know how corrupted the mind becomes while under the progressive reality distortion field they all love. Pathetic excuses for Americans, all of them."

Perfect example of an empty headed, fact free, hate filled, garbage post, which adds nothing to the discussion, and reflects poorly on both the poster's intelligence an their party. More likely than not to persuade independent minded people to vote for the other party.

Ofcourse, That's right, you are way Off Course. Hate breeds hate. War breeds war. Our pointless carpet bombing of IRAQ has recruited more extremists and created more threats to our national security than Saddam ever did. And you are oh so willing to do it again.

ofcourse1

Viktor Spinotti When you take a bath, do you put one foot in the tub? Obummer wanted to play it smart and not spoil his chances for reelection. Obummer is not fit to be a military commander. He had bin Laden murdered instead of captured.

Why do you support terrorists...do you hate America?

He didn't take the time to install a prowestern government in Iraq and he is playing blind man's bluff in Iran. Obummer doesn't know one day to the next what he is going to do. He has no military or political plan for whatever he thinks he is doing. Obummer is a blind man in a room with no light, in the middle of a night with no moon.

Install a prowestern government? Who installed that government...oh yes...GW Bush. Are you implying we should install governments in sovereign nations? Are you Fascist?

I have seen no plans how he expected or expects to make the Iraq and Afghanistan was turn out in the U.S. favor?

And how exactly would that look? ...and how do you get there? The United States is not Israel...we don't occupy other countries indefinitely.

Where are the agricultural experts teaching the opium farmers to grow cash crops?

Same place they've been since 2002...no where near Afghanistan. The opium farmers grow crops for the warlords. Even if we identified a crop that could rival the cash produced by opium...it's not up to the farmers. It's up to their overlords.

Where is the carpet bombing of the Afghanistan/Pakistan border to teach the bastards a lesson?

What bastards are you talking about...wild donkeys? How the hell is blowing up a pile of rocks a thousand times over going to teach anyone anything? I'm sorry, I forgot...you're a Neo-Con. the answer is always "blow sh!t up"

Where was the political cadres in Iraq paving the way for a pro western government? NONE, NOTHING, NOT A WORD!

The Iraqis are going to rule themselves the way they want to rule themselves. They will probably draw closer to Iran than us..and there is nothing we can do about it...except nuke them...is that your solution?

ofcourse1: You know the answer to your own question as to why there was no allies-like action in Iraq or Afghanistan: Because W's "coalition of the willing" was a sham to begin with, to make the American public think the world was supportive. Massive W Fail; the current administration was left to try to clean up and end the multi-billion-dollar fiascoes (and by the way put their cost back on-the-books).

ofcourse1: I don't mind your inane sputterings, but at least stop showing your lack of intelligence by calling our president names. You may not like the man; however, he is the elected President of the United States, and as such, he should be called President Obama! We were always taught in the military (MAJ, USA [ret]) that if you don't like the person in the position, have the common courtesy to at least respect the position itself! So, if you want to keep spouting off your anti-democrat BS, at least have the courtesy of being respectful of the Office of the President!! Otherwise most of us will just ignore you (which we usually do anyway). Until he is no longer in that position, he's still the president. Thank you.

Didi, perhaps you can answer this one for me. Why is it that libs are so free with the ugly namecalling (see this or any thread on this site any day of the week), but they can't take it worth a damn? Every time someone on the other side gives them a dose of their own medicine, they soooo offended and outraged. Howcome?

GOP ARE BOTTOM FEEDERS-ALWAYS HAVE BEEN!

It seems that Mitt the Twit is living up to his namesake.

ofcourse1

Ol_Doc your right listen to Obummer and find the U.S. a third rate country. Why you @!$%#ing dopes don't appreciate, applaud and understand success is beyond me.

You don't get it do you? Do you really think you will be better off supporting the sharks because you are a bottom feeder and the more they eat...the more that trickles down to you? The only thing that trickles down is their excrement and for some strange reason you're OK with that.

You have had your president for 3 1/2 years and what have you gotten out of it. A two year stall with his own party in congress. New unfavorable trade deals with South Korea, Austrlaia and New Zealand.

The beginning of a recovery which will be DOA with another "supply-side" president. By the way...how many Republicans voted for the trade deals?

A president who can't compromise with a divided congress and an idiot as a commander in chief. The car companies who have gone through chapter 11 without government aid and Biden would not have thrown 500,000,000 to a foreign car company to compete with G.M. According to a NBC article, GM is losing $50,000 on every electric car. At least Romney knows how to read a balance sheet.

Amazing, you accuse Obama of being an idiot as Commander in Chief, yet he wasn't the Texas village idiot that got us into a war with a country...just because he could. And now you want Americans to elect a president who is using the same advisers as the Texas Village Idiot...are you kidding me? Reading a balance sheet is not worth bragging about...it has nothing to do with putting Americans to work...Willard provided that with Bain Capital.

Hey Obozo: Send some "corpsemen" over there to kick some ass!

To be honest - I thought Romney's comment was well stated but the bigger point is at least he had an opinion. Obama didn't have one until Romney gave it to him - I would rather have a delarative sentence from Romney - than nothing from Obama. If Romney hadn't said what he did Obama would have continued to pander to the Muslim community afraid of offending.

So the words were sharp and to the point - what about them was inaccurate - the fact that after almost 12 hours the leader of the country hadn't said a stinking word? Why when Obama finally said something his first words were to distance himself from anything that had been said from an Embassy.

As a "command in chief" (use that term loosely) he can't or won't make a hard, unpopular decision. it is all about image and how he is going to look to his liberal peeps and the muslums. Sorry when the attacks are once again on home soil I would much rather have Romney make a decision versus Obama blowing in the breeze waiting to get the poll results back on who he might offend.

Our pointless carpet bombing of IRAQ has recruited more extremists and created more threats to our national security than Saddam ever did. And you are oh so willing to do it again.

Since when has the GOP let a little thing like "it doesn't work!" stop them? I mean, just because the Iraq war had the exact opposite effect that they intended doesn't mean it was wrong! And we must do the same thing to Iran! Just because George W. Bush's "voodoo economics" trashed the American economy, doubled the national debt and caused the worst recession since the Great Depression doesn't mean it was wrong! And we must vote for Mitt Romney whose only promises are to do exactly the same things that Bush did - hell, with the same economic advisors that Bush used!

Republicans all suffer a severe disconnect from history. Let's send them all back to school to learn history this Fall!

EEngineer you make the same argument that can be made for the democrats. In cae you have not heard our country has a huge debt probalem brought on by the last 3 plus years. Obama has outspent Bush by far already. The crash was not caused by Bush it was caused by a housing crisis brought on by the democrats that refused to reform fannie mae and freddie mac. Thats a fact. The banking crsis was linked to all the bad debt in the housing and investment markets.

At what point will you start to hold Obama responsible. I am guessing like all democrats it will be when they have to start paying up. Obama has said this can be done on the backs of the rich. He knows he is lying. The problem is people like you cannot figure that out. If you are an electrical engineer like your name implies I would think you would have better math skills. Why do people say Bush doubled the national debt. Have you checked Obamas numbers. he did it in less than 4 years. I guess just like Obama we must blame someone else. Obama has no plans to reduce the debt. NONE AT ALL!!!!

Lets see, eleven years ago, on September 11, 2001, nearly 3000 Americans were obliterated in New York City by Islamo-terrorists. Eleven years later to the day, an American Ambassador and three other Americans were murdered by Islamic terrorists. What a coincidence that on the anniversary of that date Al Quada perpetrated an attack on America. I wonder if it ever occurred to President Obama that that Al Queda might try to demonstrate it still has a pulse by staging an attack on American interests. Apparently anniversaries do have significance in the Islamo-terrorist world. Surprise surprise Mr. President.

I wonder if Obama has seriously tried to work with the new Libyan government to achieve some kind of stability now that the Arab spring is becoming an Arab fall. I wonder if he has been able to convince the new Libyan president that he will support development of a democratic government, or support him at all. No doubt Obama is hoping the Libyans won’t talk to the Israeli Prime Minister about his record of helping out his allies. If he does he may be a bit concerned that if our allies don’t feel like we will stand with them its hard to imagine why the leader of a country so vulnerable to Islamo-terrorists would believe we would. Its time to draw a line Mr. President. I

ts time to proclaim who our friends are and what we are willing to do to help them. Its time to admit that killing Bin Laden didn’t kill a network that had metastasized long before his death.

Its time to stop asking Mommy Jarrett for permission to act like a president. Its time to BE a President.

I just love how these Democrats like dkuhn1972 Who Try To Intellectualize A Way Out Of A Stupid Mistake On Obama's Part Instead Of Just Accepting His Failures In Libya.

.......that America should have jumped into Libya and Egypt.........

A. We Have Had Enough Of Wall Streets Corporate Not Wars For Fun & Profit and Secret Support Of Al-Qaeda.

B. Libya Egypt & Syria Is And Has Always Been No Win Situations and Obama Should Have Learned From his Mistakes And Left Good Enough Alone. Instead He Violated The US Constitution By Slipping US Into Libya Through The Back Door Without Congressional Approval.

C. Now Barry & Hillary Want To Do The Same Thing In Syria.

D. When Romney Complains About Their Inexperience Causing This Issue These UN Liberal Democrats Start Projecting Obama's Failures Onto Everyone Else!

E. If We Only Understood...Yada....Yada...Yada....Nonsense!

It is Amazing How Nonsensical Pompous and Intellectually Arrogant Some Of These Democratic Posters Like dkuhn1972 Are!

"There are some ideas so absurd that only an intellectual could believe them."~George Orwell

Psst....The Presidential Election Name Calling Started at least by1800 (if not eariler) and You Dinkums Are Obviously Cluelessly Spewing Disinformation and merely Pointing Your Little Finger and Shaking It At Your Parties Opponents Then Whining Like a Little Child That They Don't Play Nice!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election,_1800

Hahahahahah.......Odumba is Wrong!

Its like packs of Lemmings. Romney and Obama are D'd if they do and D'd if they don't.

First Romney - lets say he said nothing... silence from Romney. Then the media and the Obama minions would be barking up a tree about how he did not mention foreign policy at the RNC and he has not even got an opinion now so obviously he is not capable of handling foreign affairs. At least Romney held a press conference where he answered questions from a hostile media unlike Obama who talked and walked off.

Second Obama: At least the media is giving him a pass on this (like everything else) and not bringing up Arab Spring or some of his policies that have led us to this situation (and no I don't think it is the movie that caused this just a convenient excuse). However Obama is in a political dogfight and does needs support as commander in chief and not hammered. Personally, I think things might get ugly when all of it comes out. Supposedly from one report the ambassador was being carried by loyal people to the hospital, however, another report says the body was retrieved from the airport.

Obama's policy is a large part of why we are in this mess, however, I do agree that when we are in the fire we need to work together to find the door and get everyone to safety and not fight in a burning building.

Romney He saw a weakness and especially after being hammered about foreign policy and took it. He would have been criticized either way.

Journalism is a dead art... now we have various types of political lemmings.

Oscar Rules?..Clueless!...Nuff said!

Clueless eh Torpedo? Who jumped right in and supported the UN with drones and air strikes in Arab Spring "activities" in Libya? Because the rebels were at a disadvantage. And NOT backed somewhat by Al Qaeda?

TTTH - so now you're an advocate for what - leaving Qaddafi in power? vs. participating in a real coalition action (unlike the fake "coalition of the willing" charge into Iraq)?

The attackers / terrorists replaced the American flag with the black Al-Queda flag flown by the revolution leaders backed by Obama.

Talk to the Hand.....while the GOP backs the good 'pastor' and his HATE of Muslims. How does it feel....as a republican...to be an accessory to murder?

Viktor just what was Gaddafi doing that affected the rest of the world. Only his country. The rebels were incited into this action just as they were in Egypt by Al Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood. Now, we have the Muslim Brotherhood soon to take power in Libya also (don't forget Egypt). We had no interest in this. If it is such a frigging atrocity that he was perpetrating, why in the h3ll are we and the rest of the world not jumping all over Syria?

Hey one way Gypsy, no one I know backs the pastor and his hate of Muslims. No one I know cares about some other guy making a documentary on Muslims. Since when did they control American values and freedom of speech. There are other ways. Should we kill their people when they burn our bible or flag?

YOU are the one that should be charged right along with anyone. Why the hell aren't you pounding on our government to DEMAND from their government that the perpetrators of this atrocity be brought to justice instead of getting that "I am going to die if we pi$$ them off" tingle up your leg?

TTTH - no moreso than Saddam. Weapons of Mass Destruction, BS.

Pick a side already - do you want the US to intervene everywhere, or no where? You want it both ways so you can point back to one line of argument or another selectively later.

It's funny, the protestors are not protesting the film maker they are protesting Obama. They are chanting "We have a billion Osamas, Obama". They are protesting Obama's spiking the ball on killing Osama Bin Laden and all of their other leaders using the drones. This is why they are protesting on the aniversity of 9 - 11.

This was a planned attack because of Obama's politicizing the death of Osama Bin Ladin. Not to smart or presidential.

These cowardly murders show the disrespect that Obama's buddies the Muslim Brotherhood have for Obama and his leftwing poopheads. All you liberal posters who distract, distort and lie about Romney, do you really think they are going to spare you because you apologize for our first ammendment rights? Obama needs to be defeated in the most massive blowout election. He has failed, he refuses to run on his record. We are far worse off with this incompent joker and fraud in the whitehouse. He is not at all likeable, that is a concoction of the lapdog media which also needs to be shorn of the prejudice and power.

That's not waht Obama wrote, justincase:

"In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for instance, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific reassurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction"

Obama was saying he would not vote to intern an entire group of American citizens based solely on their religion or ethnicity, reminding us of the wrong done to Japanese Americans who were interned just because of their ethnicity during World War II. Since this is both the moral and the constitutional stance to take, I fail to see why anyone would have a problem with it.

Nope, again, that's not what Obama wrote, justincase

Pick a side already - do you want the US to intervene everywhere, or no where?

Nowhere but damn it if the hypocrites are going to do it one place for nothing (Gadhafi was scared $hitless of the US) then be consistent. They are hypocrites and it has to be because the Muslim Brotherhood has nothing to gain in Syria. Nothing like they did in Libya (oil) and Egypt.

Justin, Don't you ever check this stuff? Do you believe anything you hear? Just go to fact.check.org

"A second false quote has Obama saying he would "stand with the Muslims," words that don’t appear in his book. What he actually said is that he would stand with American immigrants from Pakistan or Arab countries should they be faced with something like the forced detention of Japanese-American families in World War II:

Misleading e-mail: From Audacity of Hope: "I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."

Actual quote from "The Audacity of Hope" [pg. 261]: Of course, not all my conversations in immigrant communities follow this easy pattern. In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific assurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.

Obama did not say he would side with "the Muslims," which could easily be read as meaning he would side with the world’s Muslim population even if it meant working outside the best interests of the United States. He said he would side with "them," referring back to his mention of immigrant communities and specifically to "Arab and Pakistani Americans." Furthermore, he was speaking of an "ugly direction" like the mass internment of Japanese Americans.

This false quote goes hand in hand with the equally false rumor that Obama is a Muslim.

Democracy is a messy business. It takes time for democratic principles to take hold in a new democracy(introductory Political Science course). Libya had been ruled by a crazy dictator Khaddafi for 34 years. In the aftermath of their civil war, we now have the beginnings of a democracy. These violent actions by a few Libyans (although foreign elements could be involved) should not end our support for their fledgling democracy. I hope they catch these terrorists, lock 'em up and give them a fair trial.

Sometimes tragedy defines who you are and what you stand for. Let's see how the Libyan government and Libyan people deal with this before passing judgment on them.

2 lane gypsy - How does it feel....as a republican...to be an accessory to murder?

Pretty lame comment there. Kinda obsessive....

Viktor just what was Gaddafi doing that affected the rest of the world.

abcnews:

his regime's most dastardly deed of all: the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, by Libyan agents who planted explosives in a suitcase. The crash killed 270 people, most of them Americans.

Should you maybe change your moniker to Jim Jones? Seems like it would be more fitting, Mr. Kool-Aid.

You need to go crawl back in your mama's lap. Yopu obviously are not mature enough to sit at the grown up table.

Hey Jones,

You want to find out if words have no consequences, come spout the BS you typed to my face and we'll find out who has no backbone. I won't wait up.

Bob is just another tweaking conservative slopwly being driven to madness by their flawed candidate, ineffective campaign and diappearing pathe to victory in November.

Romney has NO SOLUTIONS, NO FOREIGN POLICY and NO CORE.....just asked the growing number of republicans giving up on the empty suit with his empty chair monologues, carrying an empty briefcase of ideas.

I drove by my local small airfield this morning and I saw an Airsock...it was Mitt Romney

Pat, are you a mean internet soldier killer? I think you are a whiney ass moobat communist. hahahahahahaha

bob jones Thank You your comments sure make the rightwing the republican/tea bag look real good.

JT - "moobat"? Were you born in a barn, got hooves for feet?

Bob Jones, you are an idiot. And were you aware that Rahm Emmanuel is Jewish? Don't think that he is probably NOT then also Muslim?

bob...the obama KOOLaid chuggers are really upset with your stating of facts!!

Another question, mr.prez.(empty chair, on vacation)..how is it that our embassies are so poorly defended??...Where are the Marines??!!..I can tell you that our troops were not in charge or those camelHUMPERS would never have got near our Ambassador!! THAT IS A FACT!!!..Where were they?? Who was in charge of security??? Lack of respect for The USA is what obama has brought in his foreign policy!!! He tells us that the war agaist muslimTerrorists is over,,,,REALLY??? What just happened BOZOhussan?? How is that muslimBRO stuff you love working for the USA??!!

border joe -

We no longer have marines guarding our embassies thanks to the cutbacks during the Clinton years. It's why we have to hire 'military contractors' today.
