hahahahhaha

yeah Russia is our enemy hahahaha

He didn't say "Egypt is both our ally and our enemy" he said Egypt is neither an ally or enemy but to be determined by their response. It wasn't wish-washy statement it was a challenge.

Our policy must support Dictators, friendly with the West, who rule with an Iron fist to keep this destructive ideology in place.

Yes, of course. To remain the light of freedom and democracy to the world, America must support dictators who rule with an iron fist against anyone we don't like.

That ought to work.

If Israel is such a pal-why did they have spies in the US?

Israel has always been a friend of the US?

It seems to me that before Israel the US did not have ANY enemies in the middle east.

So, what have they done to help us? I mean really, what has Israel ever done for us, other than create problems due to their arrogance?

I have many jewish friends, I just don't get it, Isreal hardliners are intolerant and war mongers. They enclose the Palestinians in a manner similar to how Germany enclosed Warsaw.

Tell me again, why we should jeopardize the ENTIRE WORLD to protect a warlike aggresive "ally?"

CubsFan .. Israel, under Netanyahoo is only friendly to get money from the US, and to steer politics in the US to his right-wing fanaticism. Nothing more, nothing less. The Israeli Yahoo wants to bomb Iran, and wants US permission to do so. He doesn't represent the Israeli populace, only the extreme right-wing freaks of the country. He is the US equivalent of the Tea Party.

As an Independent, I'm not the biggest Obama supporter. I was actually hoping that the GOP would be able to put forward a viable candidate that would have the necessary values and conviction to make real changes.

Unfortunately, the GOP continues to say one thing and do another. Romney was a below average governor, as is demonstrated by his jobs record. He has zero foreign policy experience, and is showing he would be a disaster on that front. He is void of any details to backup his grandiose claims.

Sorry GOP, you need to decide if you really want small governmet and reduced spending. If so, bring a candidate that will represent these ideals. "ABO" is not an acceptable platform.

It wasnt the Palastinians land to begin with.

Oh really .. were you around 2000+ years ago to tell us who owned the land. Another sanctimonious crybaby claiming they all have land records dating back to who knows when. According to your ilk, civilization only goes back 6000 years .. tell us oh wise one, who owned the land then?

Jim, your knowledge of history is sorely lacking. Have you ever heard of the Renaissance? Do you know what it was? Well, renaissance is a French word meaning rebirth. The rebirth talked about was a rediscovery of ancient Greek knowledge that had been preserved by...the Muslim world. In other words, all modern mathematics, science, and medicine has been given to the European world by....Muslims.

Well, that's clear as mud....glad we got that straightened out

So what would romney do if he were president? Curse them out? Declare another endless war that is sure to bankrupt the country. I know, let's pull all our aid, turn our backs on Egypt and Libya, and let al quaeda have the countries...in partnership with Iran who's looking for a new power base.

Romney has not offered one constructive idea; he just badmouths the president without offering one iota of alterntive. I guess he's prepared to let Israel force us into a war with Iran and the rest of the mideast. The silence of Washington Republicans is deafening--you don't hear Hawks McCain et al defending Romney or pushing his agenda.

I hope Americans aren't so stupid that they re-elect George bush, whose old crew seems to have taken over the Romney campaign. Bush is the reason we are in the mess today and will be in this mess for years to come. We had no business fighting a war in Iraq, no reason for it except to satisfy the bloodlust of a few Ivy League dabblers who have never served in the military at all.

"Here in the United States our Muslim citizens are making many contributions in business, science and law, medicine and education, and in other fields. Muslim members of our Armed Forces and of my administration are serving their fellow Americans with distinction, upholding our nation's ideals of liberty and justice in a world at peace."

"America treasures the relationship we have with our many Muslim friends, and we respect the vibrant faith of Islam which inspires countless individuals to lead lives of honesty, integrity, and morality. This year, may Eid also be a time in which we recognize the values of progress, pluralism, and acceptance that bind us together as a Nation and a global community. By working together to advance mutual understanding, we point the way to a brighter future for all."

"Islam brings hope and comfort to millions of people in my country, and to more than a billion people worldwide. Ramadan is also an occasion to remember that Islam gave birth to a rich civilization of learning that has benefited mankind."

"Some of the comments that have been uttered about Islam do not reflect the sentiments of my government or the sentiments of most Americans. Islam, as practiced by the vast majority of people, is a peaceful religion, a religion that respects others. Ours is a country based upon tolerance and we welcome people of all faiths in America."

All of these quotes are from a president of the United States. G.W. Bush all statements made AFTER 9-11

RomneyShambles is the best Brit description we have of his massive failed campaign. I say we need to start our own version of the mess this man has made of this election. I'll start with RomneyRentaWreck.

Turn on the news folks....riot is building again in Egypt. Do you see the Egyptian military out there breaking it up?

And Obama doesn't think they are our enemies?

Wow...I have zero trust and confidence in this administration to handle anything.

Bob in Virginia ... I would love it if one day your computer just blew up so I didn't have to read your deranged posts.

CubsFan - tell you what, get back to us in 103 years when you know how to pick a winner.

Great posts RedDevPS! What a day! I can't believe all of the Romney supporters are just turning a blind eye to the days events and sticking with their candidate. Today alone should prove to one and all that Romney is no where NEAR Presidential material. The idiot launched without checking ANY facts. And you trust THAT with your nation's security??????

Obama/Biden 2012

In other words, all modern mathematics, science, and medicine has been given to the European world by....Muslims.

Shhh John .. It goes to far back for GOPTP Americans to grasp. If it didn't happen in the last 5 years, it is irrelevant. They think they invented it all with their "I built that' mentality.

@We can do it,

Re: Post 1.13

Can you imagine Romney with his finger on the red button?

Yes....but what's much more terrifying is that Obama DOES have his finger on that button.

Just my observation.

The president continued: "Certainly in this situation, what we're going to expect is that (the Egyptian government is) responsive to our insistence that our embassy is protected, our personnel is protected, and if they take actions that they’re not taking those responsibilities, as all countries do where we have embassies, I think that’s going to be a real big problem.” What the hell, he can't even speak intelligently. This statement makes no sense at all.

Obama isnt a Muslilm...he is just a massive failure as President.. the economy is in the tank

Yes, the economy is in poor shape, but it's not as bad as it was 4 years ago! And as I recall, it went into the tank during the last year of an eight year republican administration.

I remember watching president G.W. Bush begging congress to pass an emergency 700 billion dollar bailout for the banks as our only chance to possibly avoid another Great Depression four months before he left office and Obama took over. I remember the republican presidential candidate John McCain telling talk show host David Letterman that the economy was "cratering"

The Dow Jones dropped over 50% during the last year and 3 months of the Bush administration and reached it's lowest point just a month and a half after Obama was sworn in. Since then it has rebounded over 100%.

Now who are you calling a massive failure?

And I'm registered as a republican!

One who strongly believes that our government wastes vast sums of the taxpayers money. Apparently a great deal of it on the public schools that taught you just enough so that you can manage to write comments on a forum, but not enough to use a spell checker or to keep track of what's happened in the last 4-5 years.

Frankly, I think Obama has done a pretty good job considering the mess he was handed four years ago, and I plan to vote for his re-election since my party can't seem to find anyone but clowns to run against him.

Turn on the news folks....riot is building again in Egypt. Do you see the Egyptian military out there breaking it up?

And Obama doesn't think they are our enemies?

Wow...I have zero trust and confidence in this administration to handle anything.

Wow Joe - I had no idea Obama was President of the world. Last we heard from Obama (which I would like to point out was the article you are commenting on) is that he sees Egypt as neither an ally or an enemy.

So wise one Joe, you recommend that Obama nuke them, hose them down, put them in gas chambers, or simply toss them to the lions? I mean, being president of the world, you must have a suggestion.

Not a enemy? Damn sure could have fooled me. Guess they was just messing around then.

What the hell, he can't even speak intelligently

@J.C. - let me type it very slowly for you so you can follow the bouncing ball.

P-R-O-T-E-C-T O-U-R E-M-B-A-S-S-Y. In English, it means Egypt, protect our embassy.

So, I'm confused. Maybe one of the Pro-Obama sheep can help clear something up. If Egypt is NOT an ally, then why the heck did President Obama forgive over $4 Billion in debt? Why did he personally sign a taxpayer provided check for $1.5 Billion and why the heck did he promise over $10 Billion in future loans?

This, of course, while we are Trillions in the hole, Domestic Product at an all time low and Welfare enrollment at an all time high?

I don't get it, you would think that Obama would use that money for the good of those paying the bills, then throwing it away on someone that believe woman have no rights, religious beliefs excuse any crime and freedom is arbitrary.

It amazes me how uneducated we are as a country................

I had no idea one golf ball injury could lead to this sort of diatribe. Tiger, be careful, this could be you one day.

Excellent Question(s) ljstauth.

Okay, Mr. Obama, let's now take step 2 - let's stop giving Egypt billions of US dollars a year! That money could be better spent on Americans!

Hey Layton - it is just amazing. Obama did well today, Romney crashed. We may have a new Arab spring arising, and it really isn't up to us to control it. What is our duty is to meet the changes, if any, and greet them. That is what Obama has positioned us to do and Romney utterly failed to understand.

Do you all really think Romney gets the same intel that BO gets? I don't think so, oh most of it but not of it. Only after BO got elected did he get the details. These, what ever you want call them, can go around and bad every one elses God but nobody can say anything about theirs without them going ape sh*t, that is just wrong and you all know that and I don't care what it was. They murdered our citizen on what is considered American soil and that is an ACT OF WAR no matter how you spin it. BO can try and talk them to death if he wants it is not going to work just like it hasn't work with Iran and Iran scares me.

Jim you said -- "We can do it. The whole Crusades were about taking back the holy land from the Muslim invaders. Israel is a step in that direction. Palastinians walled off? Jepordize the world? Someone has to stop the Islamic hoard. It wasnt the Palastinians land to begin with."

History lesson, the Islam based Turks attacked and attempted to wipe of the Byzantine Empire. The Byzantine Empire in turn, asked the Pope for help. THAT is the Crusades.

The English, French and Spanish troops that fought, fought to protect a Christian Nation from being over-run. They all lost in turn, the Byzantine's died and the Turks took control of the area commonly known as TURKEY... only common ground with the Holy Land is it'a proximity to Persia.

Maybe you should actually study your history....

He was referring to Tuesday’s protests in Egypt, during which demonstrators, angered by a movie trailer parodying Prophet Muhammad, breached the U.S. Embassy in Cairo.

Why does NBC keep up with this lie? They had an article earlier that entirely contradict this haha. Protect O'bama at any cost I suppose.

Student of world history... no offense but your learning has been hampered by your obvious biased, and as such, you have tainted views that do not correlate with the truth.

Hilter took advantage of many areas, when building his power, including some interesting American ties. He was very cleaver in his abuse of truth... but a victim of lies does not make one an accessory.

Also, your understanding of the history of the Islam faith obviously is obscured by your lack of knowledge. Maybe you should look up "Byzantine Empire" or the Pope letters to France, England and Prussia. The Muslim based Turks literally wiped out a major civilization... right off the map...

As for persecutions, there are more "Christians" killed each year in Sudan alone, then Muslims in the entire Holy Crusades. Difference being, those Christians (also called Copts or Coptic Christians) are tried and executed as "political" heresy, simple because they won't deny their deity and bow down to Mohammed and Allah....

In the Koran, it's perfectly acceptable to lie, cheat, steal and murder, so long as it is in the interest of Islam. No other religious group, outside Satanists, believes there is anytime it's "acceptable".

And before someone rambles on about so-called Christians that have done some bad things.. Someone calling themselves a Christian does not make them one.

Huh! As Jeff Dunham's Peanut would say: "What the Hell!" (does not ally, not enemy mean?)

JMagnum.......let's hear about all the unfunded wars...but wasn't they both voted on...by a bipartisan vote.....so who is responsible?????

plain reading of yesterday's vote on the Kucinich war powers resolution is that an overwhelming majority of the House has authorized the Afghanistan war, including a majority of Democrats. The war now has greater legitimacy. The vote was 356-65-9.

Introduced in Congress on October 2, 2002, in conjunction with the Administration's proposals,^[2][7] H.J.Res. 114 passed the House of Representatives on Thursday afternoon at 3:05 p.m. EDT on October 10, 2002, by a vote of 296-133,^[8] and passed the Senate after midnight early Friday morning, at 12:50 a.m. EDT on October 11, 2002, by a vote of 77-23.^[9] It was signed into law as Pub.L. 107-243 by President Bush on October 16, 2002.

But....but...it's all Bush's fault???

Obama's FB status yesterday "don't forget to register to vote" yet, not a word about 9/11, to worried he's gonna offend his Muslim brotherhood i guess!!

That's messed up! Obama's gotta go!

ROMNEY ADVISORS CLAIM THERE ARE WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION IN BECKYBECKYBECKYSTAN!

Romney declares war on BeckyBeckyBeckystan to prevent destruction of United States by BeckyBeckyBeckystan!

Romney says the oil fields in BeckyBeckyBeckystan will pay for the war in BeckyBeckyBeckystan!

Romney has 17 of 24 of his advisers from the Bush/Cheney/Rove tag team of failed policyland. is it any wonder Romney is a warmonger for war profits strawman?

@ JWAGS95

Yes, It's all Bush's fault because he first downgrade the warning about attack on 9/11. Then he gave out false information about WMD in Iraq.

You can read, right? Because from what you are doing, you are just copy/paste most of your stuffs without actually involve the thinking part.

Obama bashers can say whatever you wish, but he IS going to easily beat Romney, of that there is no doubt and you will have him for 4 more years, so learn to deal with it.

Jmag your a dope smoking lame come up with some facts to back up your dum ideas Romney is the one to pull us out of this mess the muslim socilist retard has got us in to

Egypt Was An Ally Of America For Over 30 Years Until Bumbling Barry And Billary Painted Mubarak Into A Corner With Their Arab Spring Nonsense....Funny How You Didn't Hear These Clowns Backing King of Bahrain Or Saudi Arabia Into A Corner, CNN Even Covered Up Their Crimes Against Humanity For Them! Don't Believe........http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/sep/04/cnn-international-documentary-bahrain-arab-spring-repression?newsfeed=true

So Pompous Obama Is Once Again Being More Than Disingenuous When Making The Claim Of Obama: Egypt not an ally of US, but not an enemy.

Our Libyan Embassy Dead Just A Few More Reasons To Refuse To Reward FAILURE Refuse To Re-Elect ANY Of Wall Streets Corrupted Incumbents Not Even I Don't Need No Stinking Congressional Approval For My Wars In Libya Syria Pakistan Sudan Yemen Somalia Columbia Mexico Guatemala Or Even Now In America....... Obama!

Why are most of you turning this into politics?

I remember 11 years ago when we were attacked how the Americans came together to show the world what a strong nation this was. Now politicians are bickering trying to score points to gain power and everybody is jumping to conclusions sometimes basing their whole assesment on sometimes skewed reporting.

The sad fact is that round the world there are American haters. Even sadder is the fact that many of these are in countries that are willing to take our aid in one hand and spread hate with the other. Why do they hate us, is it because we take parts in wars depending on which outcome serves our percieved economic needs better. Is it just that everybody always hates the biggest guy or does it come down simply as it does too often to religion?

I like to get my unbiased information from the BBC so why is it that the BBC can dig up information and make their readers better informed so quickly . As we are told this all supposedly stemmed from a cheaply made film that some writers here are accusing the Jews for but the BBC is reporting:

"Another name appeared linked to the film - Morris Sadek - an Egyptian American from the anti-Islamic National American Coptic Assembly. His promotion of the movie brought inquiries into the involvement of Coptic Christian groups"

Maybe we are all being played for fools by fanatics trying to force the American military into action to suit their own agendas and we play ito their hands by acting fools bickering about who should have said or done what and making calls for action.

It is always easy to blame the current president suggesting what should or should not be done but those decisions are never easy especially when the repercussions might result in the deaths of our servicemen or even more hatred. I appreciate that the opposite is that we are seen as a soft nation which anybody can feel free to take a pop at but the more hatred we create towards America the more we will continue to suffer from extremists who want to terrorize us in our homeland. These are never easy decisions to make so perhaps it is good that Barack Obama is not shooting from the hip and is waiting until all the facts are in before he commits the United States to any long term consequences!

Ah Yes Another Intellectual Appeal To Ignore Obama's Failure In Libya.......

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

Psst Speaking Of 9/11 Here's A Link To A New PBS Documentary About 9/11

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1l-8PFk8j5I

It's Already The #1 Documentary Produced By Colorado PBS.....

What a mess. Move troops in. Protect our own. RIP Chris Stevens and special staff who gave their lives in support of our nation.

TheKhanKubla
Okay, Mr. Obama, let's now take step 2 - let's stop giving Egypt billions of US dollars a year! That money could be better spent on Americans!

Write your congressman. Because all foreign aid comes from Congress.

His 2009 speech in Cairo now looks like Neville Chamberlain level appeasement...

Yeah, because protesters breaching an embassy is the same as invading a Poland.

*golf clap* You win for most hyperbolic statement today.

"Write your congressman. Because all foreign aid comes from Congress." According to Obama he can circumvent congress on issues that "can't wait". I would say this would fall into the "it can't wait" category if anything does.

It appears that the Republican party motto now is "if we repeat a lie enough times it will become the truth!". It's quite sad, actually, to see a party who was so steeped in ideas and progressive thinking turn into a useless manipulation machine. To Smith re: his Obama muslim quote: Check a neutral fact-checking site instead of your facebook chain posts or typical right-wing email FWDs http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/coilofrage.asp

Does anyone else find it funny how evangelicals rush to the defense of Israel but only for self serving reasons? They could give a fudge about the actual Jews, it's their homeland that these right wingers have the boner for, not their humanity lol

Dam = I had to get back so far to post - O'kay we supported the Israeli's

Good and fine - how about when they infiltrated our government - 70% of Bush's government in people of power had dual-citizenship to Israel

Picture this - I have dual-citizanship to Botawana - would you care?

Hey I have dual-citizenship -to Mexico would you care - and I have dual citizenship to Egypt and I am a member of your government would you care

Then why don't we care about the Israel's having sway in our government

he is just a massive failure as President.. the economy is in the tank

no matter how badly President Obama fvcks up and no matter how bad things get, for example with the economy

Domestic Product at an all time low

Enough of Republican lies! Here are the facts:

...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.

DJIA Dec 26, 2008 8515

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.

[Obama's FB status yesterday "don't forget to register to vote" yet, not a word about 9/11]

Harley Skank...

You're still perpetuating that lie I see...you got your hairy ass handed to you yesterday on this very issue, and you continue post crap like that...cut 'n paste, baby...

Bravo Skank...bravo...

STOP! GIVEN AID $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ to these Muslim Countries, they are not our friends people. The Muslims hate us and want us dead. Why is this country so retarded to give my hard earn tax dollars or others to these ungrateful ingrates who despise the USA. Mitt was right on about not apologizing to these terrorist countries, it shows that the UNITED STATES is weak by doing so.!!!!!!!!!!! This whole thing was planned do to 9-11. I am so sick and tired by this Administrations apologies to these Arabs. These sick violent people can careless about it.

President Obama walks softly and carries a BIG @!$%#ING STICK!

These people are out of thier f-n minds - They're seriously f-t up in the head.

We need to really start increasing the safe harvesting, production and distribution of our own natural energy here in the USA, rather than paying for fuel from countries where they hate us. Let’s keep that money and those jobs here in the US.

Drilling here at home might not be the whole answer, but it's certainly a good place to start.

Obama is going to be re-elected. We'll have another 4 years of this crap. I wish people would post things he HAS done in his first term instead of bashing the other side. Not things that Bush put in place and Obama finishes off and takes the glory....but plans in place that Obama instigated.

Obama is a great speaker, Romo not so much. But I don't want a great speaker running my country. I want a business man who can play the system and gets results. Like I said, Obama will be re-elected so lets see his excuses after 8 years in office!

Sad, very sad. Well I'm off to fill up the car with $4.22/gallon for gas. yeah! roll on Christmas!

And in other news, our Embassy in Yemen has been invaded. What part of an Embassy is sovereign soil don't you get?

Being diplomatic about all of this is fine and dandy, but those are Americans! We as a nation should protect ALL Americans. Speak softly and carry a big stick! WE should, and there shouldn't be a discussion about this, tell the world, that you do not invade our country and kill Americans!

For all of you Bush bashers, say what you will about him, after 9/11, did you hear of any attacks on Americans, anywhere in the world? (chirp chirp).

This must be part of the hope and change Barry was talking about while campaigning for President. Egypt had been our ally, now they are neither! Some foreign policy there! Libya hadn't been a problem since Reagan, now look at them! And libbies have the audacity to praise Obama on his foreign policy, and not care about the loss of American lives, unless it's the cause of the Republicans.

Get a clue liberals!

democrats not voting for oblahblah First I'm glad your not voting for oblahblah. Who is that? I never seen this guy's name before. Speaking of lies, you tell some big ones. All you are doing is posting hate. It must suck to be you to have so much hate in your life. So what if the President is a Muslim. Last time I looked and read I thought it didn't matter what religion a person was to live in America. Next the rightwing of the republican/tea party will want to change the Constitution so only a christian can run for office.

So Mr. President, let me see if I understand you? Egypt is not our friend and you give them a billion in aid. If that's the case then I can not stand you, could you please send me some money to make me like you more. Or are you doing like you have done during your whole administration, just giving them money becuase they are Muslim. This is the problem with your thinking, you are trying to buy these people, and they hate you. Get a set of balls and act like our commander in chief, instead of a commander in thief.

Egypt is under the control of the radical Muslim Brotherhood, and there can be no mistake about their radical islamic extremism. Obama stood by and let both Libya and Egypt turn radical, and they are not now nor will they ever be again a friend of the US or Israel. It has been the Obama plan to diminish the role the US plays with influence and military might around the globe, and today the world is much less safe. Obama has ushered in a new era of Islamic fanaticism, and all western nations will soon be paying a very heavy price.

Sorry this ruins your candy apple dream world Democraps - but it iis THE TRUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'

Yes, I am going to pay attention to someone that uses terms of endearment like "Democraps"

tbenton Now tell me how many years has the US been giving money to Egypt?

rick Obama stood by and let Libya and Egypt turn radical...........................

Tell me what he was he to do? Its another country's business. Thats just what the world needs another puppet government set up by America. Than you wonder why we are hated all over the world. Look at Iraq and Afghanistan and those puppet governments. What has that got us? Just a waste of lives and money.

Democrats not voting... you wouldn't know the truth if it bi*** slapped you in the face, idiot!! Regardless of what you think in your tiny little warped mind, Willard and lyin' Ryan will be taking it on the chin (and hard) come Nov. 6, genius!!! Obama/Biden 2012!

out of are minds What is a DEMOCRAPS? Is a DEMOCRAP something your Mama use to feed you? Because it sounds like your full of DEMOCRAP!!!!! I wish you a good day and keep eating your Democrap!

Nice non-response from our non-leader.

As the arab world spins out of control, Obama sits back and says "Let's wait and see what happens." Sort of like waiting to see what happens when your house catches on fire.

He coddles our enemies, insults our friends, and does nothing except point his arrogant chin in the air and fail to declare that the muslim world is our enemy.

Wake up, Mr. President. The arab world is our enemy. If you can't see that, then you're either stupid, or your loyalties lie with Mecca, not Washinton, D.C..

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.

JMagnum

RoMONEY's experience with Foreign Affairs is zilch. Actually, it's less than zero. Just google: "Mitt Romney's World Tour" and read for yourself.

And Obama's foreign policy is better? Sending money to terrorists, supporting our enemies, leaking classified information and endangering our troops, being ineffective in Afghanistan, bowing and bending over for European banks, ignoring pleas from our allies, etc, etc.

Obama is weak and has been completely unsuccessful with every aspect of his foreign policy.

Romney only knows one thing: How to "Squash" Small Businesses (adding to unemployment) and "Redistribute" selected personnel to other positions (at a much lower income) to help facilitate "Up-and-Coming businesses. RoMONEY and Lyin' Ryan are nothing but CORPORATE TOOLS.

Once again...and Obama supporter has it completely backwards. Obama is the one that squashes small business in every policy, every tax and every regulation him and his administration enacts. Now, go look at the few jobs that have actually been created under this joke of a president, and see how many of those are minimum wage. Look at the median incomes and how they've dropped.

Obama is an utter failure. How can anyone support this president?

Remember this.........Bush Gave up on getting Bin Laden.....Romney said he wouldn't go after Bin Laden because it was TOO EXPENSIVE! Romney the quitter,...MONEY BEFORE DUTY......!

Harley Chic, I usually agree with what you type on here. But there is a 'white' hispanic. Why we all have to be categorized is beyond me. An American is all I need.

What people need to remember is that Egypt was an ally before Obama came into office.

After Obama became President he had a hand in removing our ally from power. Now Egypt is controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood.

Watch the movie "Obama 2016". After watching it, it will make sense why all this is happening.

RoMONEY's experience with Foreign Affairs is zilch

People tend to forget that Obama's foreign affairs experience AND domestic experience was zilch when he became President.

I'm being serious here. Did Obama ever hold a real part-time or full-time job, with a real paycheck, while in high school or college?

egypt's citizen's are anti-american. that's all that matters. and an "ally" in what? entangling alliances are what jefferson warned against. if this whole middle east/north african mess our former and current governments chose to get us in, decades ago, isn't a tangled mess then what is?

And Obama's foreign policy is better?

no difference really. they both are for our continued futile presence there, where we've made things only worse. we don't belong in the region and anything but a full removal from there is what the people there want and would be in our best interest.

Obama doesn't know if Egypt is an ally or enemy? That kinda sounds like Kerry when he said "I voted for it before I voted against it". Of course at least Kerry MADE a decision (albeit changed it later). We have such an incompetent president he cannot even MAKE a decision. I guess he is waiting on yet ANOTHER poll to decide if Egypt is an ally or enemy...............

The only people that are still cheerleading for Barry are the far lefty Libs. Barry has proven in the last few days what a complete failure he really is. How anyone can still back a guy who puts American lives in danger everyday for his stupid ideologies is beyond me. Admit it libs......Barry is a little wimp and not as bright as you all make him out to be. No matter what the libtard media wants to lie about in their "reports" most Americans have seen this guy for what he is and the past couple of days are the cherry on top.

Egypt not an ally of US, but not an enemy.

Well, that's more than I can say about you Mr. and Mrs. Barry Soetoro, you're not an Ally either, but you certainly are an Enemy to the American dream and U.S. Constitution. Why I'll even bet the Avg. Egyptian knows more about the U.S. Constitution that either Barry or his wife.

How Barack and Michelle Lost Their Law Licenses:

I knew they had both lost their law licenses, but I didn't know why until I read this.

This is FACT-CHECKED.

https://www.iardc.org/. Stands for Illinois Attorney Registration And Disciplinary Committee. It's the official arm of lawyer discipline in Illinois; and, they are very strict and mean as hell. (Talk about irony.) Even I, at advanced age of almost 65, maintain (at the cost of approximately $600/year) my law license that I worked so hard and long to earn. Big Surprise.

Former Constitutional Law Lecturer and U.S. President Makes Up Constitutional Quotes During

State Of The Union (SOTU) Address.

Consider this:

1. President Barack Obama, former editor of the Harvard Law Review, is no longer a "lawyer". He surrendered his license back in 2008 in order to escape charges he lied on his bar application. A "Voluntary Surrender" is not something where you decide "Gee, a license is not really something I need anymore, is it?" and forget to renew your license. No, a "Voluntary Surrender" is something you do when you've been accused of something, and you 'voluntarily surrender" your license five seconds before the state suspends you.
2. Michelle Obama" voluntarily surrendered" her law license in 1993, after a Federal Judge gave her the choice between surrendering her license or standing trial for Insurance fraud!
3. So, we have the first black President and First Lady - who don't actually have licenses to practice law. Facts. Source: http://jdlong.wordpress.com/2009/05/15/pres-barack-obama-editor-of-the-Harvard-law-review-has-no-law-license/
4. A senior lecturer is one thing, a fully ranked law professor is another. Barack Obama was NOT a Constitutional Law Professor at the University of Chicago!!!!!
5. The University of Chicago released a statement in March 2008 saying Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) "served as a professor" in the law school — but that is a title Obama, who taught courses there part-time, never held, a spokesman for the school confirmed in 2008.
6. "He did not hold the title of Professor of Law," said Marsha Ferziger Nagorsky, an Assistant Dean for Communications and Lecturer in Law at the University of Chicago School of Law. Source: http://blogs.suntimes.com/sweet/2008/03/sweet_obama_did_hold_the_title.html
7. The former Constitutional Senior Lecturer (Obama) cited the U.S. Constitution the other night during his State of the Union Address. Unfortunately, the quote he cited was from the Declaration of Independence ... not the Constitution!!!!!
8. The B-Cast posted the video: http://www.breitbart..tv/did-obama-confuse-the-constitution-with-the-declaration-of-independence/
9. Free Republic: In the State of the Union Address, President Obama said, "We find unity in our incredible diversity, drawing on the promise enshrined in our Constitution: the notion that we are all created equal.
10. Um, wrong citing, wrong founding document there Mr. President. By the way, the promises are not a notion, our founders named them unalienable rights. The document is our Declaration of Independence and it reads:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

11. And this is the same guy who lectured the Supreme Court moments later in the same speech?

Ambiguity is neither good or bad...it's just lukewarm.

@ssmithlg

“I will stand with the Muslims should the
political winds shift in an ugly direction.” quote from page 261
of “The Audacity of Hope” by America’s first (and hopefully last) Muslim POTUS
Barrack Hussain Obama.

Oh how I love it when some assclown rewords 'quotes' in a pathetic attempt to convince us of something. Since you are clearly showing your ignorance and absolute disregard for the truth, smith, let me paste the ACTUAL paragraph.

The context was:

This statement is a rewording of a passage from page 261 of The Audacity of Hope, in which Barack Obama spoke of the importance of not allowing inflamed public opinion to result in innocent members of immigrant groups being stripped of their rights, denied their due as American citizens, or placed into confinement, as was done with Japanese-Americans during World War II. The original contains no specific mention of "Muslims"

Now for the quote:

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 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.

So do us all a favor. Next time you get the urge to come to Newsvine to spew half a story in some vain attempt to look clever, don't. Instead just shut the f*ck up and keep it to yourself. Trust me, if you're not man enough to post the entire paragraph, then you're not man enough to participate in the debate.

@ProBusiness

Obama doesn't know if Egypt is an ally or enemy?

Sure he does, they are both and neither. Isn't it sort of funny how the liberals accuse Romney of flip-flopping even as their own candidate takes every position on every issue?

Jo Ann, You are correct, that was the one thing that Jimmy Carter tried to do was make peace between Isreal and Egypt at Camp David. There was peace between Sadat and Began alright, but not between the two countries themselves. All it did was enrage the Muslum's in the region, and you saw how they paid off Sadat,with machine guns. You have to let egypt know exactly how pissed we are and that this is not tolerated. Let them be the ones who are spineless. I remember when Bin Laden spoke for the 1st time after 9/11 he said," Although I am pleased with the attack I have no knowlege of who did it". Lying POS', they won't declare war,they're cowards, just resort to acts of terrorism. This President is gutless and his lack of diplomacy and statesmanship through inexperience is glaring! Romney/Ryan '12 WE WON'T GET FOOLED AGAIN AMERICA!

Chris: Thanks for the clarification on the quote. But now that I read it that sounds familiar to his response regarding Egypt meaning he was ambiguous even in his BOOK!! Obama cannot make a decision even when writing an autobiography? When will this president learn that sometimes you HAVE to make a decision and be resolute.

Obama criticized Romney BEFORE he criticized the attack on our embassy. Obama cannot even say the breach of the embassy in Libya was wrong? At LEAST say they acted "stupidly" for goodness sakes!! I guess Obama was waiting on the poll results before he responded so he would know what his position was.............

Hmmmm yes lets just wait and see what their government does....... then we can come up with a decision on how to handle it......in the meantime, another embassy, more deaths, no action and countries that were once afraid of the power of the US will now see how easy it is with this president to do things against our own. Great idea and all of your lambs will praise you and say you are doing great things and they CANT WAIT until they get whats coming to them........still.....even after the first four years..... they are all waiting for their cup of juice. Good thing we dont have known terror org's here in the US, whew (sarc)! Unreal

...and where is Boozy, Frumpy RH with her praises of her Deity; Prez-0?
Prez-0' has an epic failure of a foreign policy, yet I'm sure we all expected to hear her gushing praises of her perception of Prez-0's superior intellect..
...its not the Tea Party which is doing the real teabaggin', is it?
Considering she is usually the first one to post in FR, her silence (though welcome) is deafening.

If this latest round of mismanagement doesn't wake up people to the realization that Obama is severely under-qualified for the job, I honestly don't know what will. He has failed with his domestic policy, he has failed with his foreign policy & he has shown a failure in leadership. Maybe we now know why he refused to release his college transcripts; it would show a bunch of failing grades & Incomplete assignments.

I do not know how well Romney will do as POTUS, but one thing is for sure; there is no way he could do any worse.

How do you tout your foreign policy skills when you're busy turning allies into hostile "neutrals"? Oh, and paying them for the "privilege".

Only in Liberal-speak.

Backcountry, Except when Obama actually does change his mind and take a stand, then it's a "revelation"! It has sort of a lofty, priestlike aire to it, but it still means," flip-flop"!

Egypt is not or ally but they aren't our enemy either. What kind of a statement is that? Whats the point of making a statement like that? This Bozo (Obama) is a laughing stock if it wasn't so sad & scary that this pretender is representing the free world. Notice I did not say leading.

I do a lot of business with people who are not my friends and not my enemies. This is really pretty normal in the history of the world. In new Middle Eastern democracy, the first governments will be weak and will face opposition from extremists of all persuasions. It is smart for the President to distance himself from Egypt's new President. Egypt's new President must calm the anti-American extremists by seeming to be independent of American influence. He must serve the best interests of his nation and be viewed as doing so by his people. Some of Egypt's economic interests depend on the place being viewed by the world as a safe place for tourists, businessmen, and embassies.

We can hope that he can show his people he has their best interests at heart and is not just some pawn of America. While this may hurt our pride, it really is how the world works. We pursue our best interests and we should let other countries pursue theirs. As long as we can find common interests with them and they with us, we will get along just fine.

When we overthrew the colonial rule of England, we remained without friends in the world for quite a while (France was preoccupied with French revolution, napoleon to be worried about us). To remain without enemies (except British in war of 1812, and Mexico in 1830's-40's) is how our country established its democracy and grew and prospered.

Egypt is also a former colony of England.

It is time to leave the old Cold war thinking of you're either with us or against us.

That so many people seem to dislike the fact that someone would actually think before he acts and would not paint himself into a corner by making statements that Egypt is either an ally or a enemy, when we are not sure yet how things are going to go there with their new government, really says it all. Those people deserve a shoot first, aim 2nd leader. The rest of us don't!!!!!!!!!!!

Personally, I like thoughtfulness. I like someone that deliberates on what the best course of action is instead of jumping in head first when there's no need. That's the INTELLIGENT thing to do.

Sure he does, they are both and neither. Isn't it sort of funny how the liberals accuse Romney of flip-flopping even as their own candidate takes every position on every issue?

Flip-flopping is saying you think or agree with one thing, and then later taking the opposite stance. Saying you neither support or oppose something at a particular time because you need more information is not "taking every position", it is the intelligent thing to do. You see those people above you that have made stupid comments that bear no relation to reality? That's because they didn't take the time (or preferred to stay ignorant) to learn and take in more information. It's what (ultimately) makes you look stupid.

Do you not like intelligence? Actually, I shouldn't bother asking, the answer seems obvious.

@starsailing

ROMNEY ADVISORS CLAIM THERE ARE WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION IN BECKYBECKYBECKYSTAN!

STARSAILING SPAMS THE BOARDS WITH NONESENSE AND DRIVEL YET AGAIN.

Damn it must be tough being you, how do you function lacking the ability to form coherent thoughts?

Rob80-4249854

Do you not like intelligence? Actually, I shouldn't bother asking, the answer seems obvious.

Do you not like independant thought? Actually, I shouldn't bother asking, the answer IS obvious

Yesterday the Obama administration both denounced the statment made by the Egyptian embassy AND they reafirmed it by saying the EXACT SAME THING. Just like he supports the teachers unions even as he offers them no support. As I said, taking every position. This is common pratice within this White House. They will say one thing even as they do the other. If you can't see that you've got your blinders on too tight.

RealAmericansFirst
Isn't it a relief to have a President who doesn't have some knee-jerk neo-con urban cowboy fit every time something happens?

Isn't it a relief to have a President who is content with increasing the numbers of Americans who need welfare and food stamps while shipping their hard earned tax dollars to foreign countries who he admits "are not our allies".

We should not criticize Obama for not knowing if Egypt is an ally or an enemy, after all his opinion is still evolving. Or to better clarify my point, the poll numbers aren't in yet.

Do you not like independant thought? Actually, I shouldn't bother asking, the answer IS obvious

I'm not sure. I do, however, like independent thought. The rest of your diatribe just shows you're one of the sheep following the anti-Obama crowd. Ironically, thought you might think you're an independent thinker, you're just another of a herd. You can see them all above, posting nonsensical crap as usual.

I'm not really 'for' him (I do like the fact he actually appears to think things through) but I definitely won't be believing anything that comes from you. You nut-jobs would disagree if he said the sky was blue.

Rob80-4249854

I'm not sure. I do, however, like independent thought.

LOL! Yeah right! That might be believable if you didn't contradict it in the same post.

You nut-jobs would disagree if he said the sky was blue.

Typical liberal rhetoric, lump everyone together with some ridiculous assertion so that you can dismiss them all at once. So much for your supposed "independent thought". I give the President credit for what he is due. He got Bin Laden, he's been successful in killing our enemies for what that is worth, he's allowed me to carry my handgun in National Parks, He's done some things right. The problem is that his successes don't come close to matching his failures.

If you can't accept legitimate criticisms of the man whether you're "for him" or not than you have no business talking about "independent thought". Not everyone who is critical of this President is a right wing loon. There are plenty of us who see that the politicians of both parties are full of @!$%# and the one we have for President does it better than most. "Thinks things through"...lol... more like waits for the outcome to decide what his position was the whole time.

Obama: Egypt not an ally of US, but not an enemy

So just like Iran they must be a non aligned nation.

Barry has proven in the last few days what a complete failure he really is.

You don't even know what happened, so who are you to judge?

And how do I know you don't know what happened? You can't even name who attacked our diplomatic corps.

No, using "Muslims" doesn't count either.

Based on his actions I think we can state that Obama is not an ally of us either.

Now that the truth is leaking, we find out this was not some random event, but a well planned and coordinated attack. Apparently it had been planned for some time now, and the first question is why didn't Obama know? Or do you suppose the fact that the Obama administration has been one intelligence leak after another with allies thrown under the bus that we are no longer trusted?

There is no excuse for any of our Embassies in the Middle East not to have been on high alert on the anniversary of 9/11, let alone tipped off to the attack. Or would that have been insensitive to religious feelings? Obama took credit for the overthrow of Mubarack and Kadafi, so why shouldn't he be getting the credit now? The Middle East is now in total chaos, and we have Obama to thank. Apparently golf is always more important then attending an intelligence briefing.

Apparently it had been planned for some time now, and the first question is why didn't Obama know?

That a group of people in Libya would use protests against an American produced anti Muslim film to act as cover for an attack against our embassy? Not even the big one in Tripoli, but the smaller one in Benghazi...

Think about that sequence of events and tell me anyone could have figured it out.

So it escaped Obama that Egypt IS an ally? In technical and legal terms it is exactly that. Perhaps not a GOOD ally, but it is one nevertheless:

Egypt was designated as a Major Non-NATO Ally in 1989 when Congress first passed the law creating that status.

We have yet another glimpse of the foreign policy ignorance of the administration responsible for making us the 'weak horse' in the eyes of Islamic extremists around the globe.

Isn't it hilarious how the State Department has come out now telling Obama:

pssst... Hey @$$ hole...

Mr. President Sir...

Egypt is still technically an ally! Sure your foreign policy is a disaster, and you've managed to alienate our real allies, and prop up enemies of America like the Muslim Brotherhood. But you're technically wrong! You don't know what you're talking about...

Isn't it amateurish when his own State Departments has to tell him that Egypt is an ally.
After the president said that they weren't an ally.
Makes him look stupid, doesn't it!

"They'r not an ally, but they're also not an enemy..."

What an amateur...

.

OBAMA HAS FAILED!
TIME TO KICK HIM OUT!

sorry y'all threw poop at the fan this morning .it fell off

BobinVirginia ... you have been cited source after source and still revert to whatever is written on your mother's basement wall to post. Insecure much? How's your probing governor doing today? Funny, you predicted awhile back he'd be the VP nominee. Hope you scratched that off your short list.

what would Romney do if attack...hurry up and talk first..hahahahaha

@ eringobragh ... It was a small and very savage group that attacked and did NOT represent the Libyans. Romney???? Mr Fire off a Press Release based on an e-mail from the Embassy in Egypt??????? Right, this coming from the man that doesn't need fact checkers in his campaign. Apparently he doesn't need them in foreign affairs either. I used to call him a Ken doll ... he's ramped himself up to a GIJoe and anatomically the same.

Romney managed to tick off England , our number one ally, during the Olympics so how in the hell does anyone think the clown could deal with any international matters?

Romney just showed he can't handle the responsibility of being a world leader just like Bush Jr. What do you expect when Romney has Cheney, Rove, Norquist and 17 of 25 of his advisers from the Bush Cheney Regime.

When Romney asked what is his plan was for Libya he replied...."COSTCO shirts come 3 in a pack!"

ROMNEY/RYAN /BUSH/CHENEY FOR A WORSE TOMORROW TODAY!

Lord have mercy, starsailing .... you are all over the place ! Did you forget your meds this morning ?

A) Romney was asked a direct question about security at the Olympics. He gave an honest and correct answer. The company hired to supply security personnell for The Games came up short on its fulfilled contract. Troops were then brought in to make up for the shortage.

The rest of your post sounds like you started hitting the hard stuff before breakfast and are babbling incoherently. Maybe you should just laugh at yourself ... the rest of us are already laughing at you !

you are correct, right now he is standing with his brother muslims,

give a man a fish he eats for a day

teach him to fish he will eat forever

give him 99 weeks of unemployment

or a welfare check

a free cell phone and free minutes

free food

section 8 housing

and he will vote democrat the rest of his life.

Why, sure. Ask Osama. Obama is a brother Muslim. Where is Osama, anyway?

Do you guys remember the time when Egypt used to be an ally of the United States?

Those were the days...

.

Perhaps Obama telling Mubarak to "Get Out Now" without making sure there would be a safe transition to a new government that wouldn't be hostile to America, and without making sure that the enemies of America like the MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD wouldn't immediately take over everything, wasn't such a smart move after all...

Just saying...

Those Muslim Brotherhood guys really are just a bunch of friendly "mostly secular" guys just like Obama's lackey Clapper told Congress! Yeah, they just shut down newspapers that don't suit them, replaced all the editors in all the papers in Egypt, arrested protesters who were "offensive" to the Muslim Brotherhood, and let an angry mob storm the U.S embassy!

Real liberal guys these Muslim Brotherhood. I can see right away why Obama has become such close friends with them, giving them 4 Billion Dollars debt reduction, and 1.5 Billion in military aid...

.

How well is Obama's outreach to the Muslim world working out so far?

.

OBAMA HAS FAILED!

TIME TO KICK HIM OUT!

Osama sleeps with the fishes ... the NAVY SEALS TOOK HIM OUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Duqu

Do you guys remember the time when Egypt used to be an ally of the Soviet Union?

Those were the days...

Couldn't resist. We have the best friends that money and military hardware can buy.
