Libya Embassy

No Heck. Obama even disassociated himself from the comment from the Egypt Embassy. Romney is exactly right. This President instead of showing outrage, demeans our country by looking weak. Even his prepared speech he gave a couple of hours ago mirrored Clinton's given at the State Department. He sounded monotone, like he didn't even mean it.

Actually guys I heard it on 1 of your own news outlets.
I watch MSNBC every morning. They said the administration has dialed back from that statement wherever it came from.
The part in question was an apology and a condemnation of the idea someone would be so hurtful as to insult someones religion. Then, of course, it went on to claim disapproval for the actions.
Unfortunately scarborough wasn't there so there was absolutely no 1 to calendar that.

You're full of shit and retreating again.
You said the president gave "a more complete response in which he sympathizes with the killers."
And here was Reince Priebus' tweet: "Obama sympathizes with attackers in Egypt. Sad and pathetic,"
Now, when did the president sympathize with the people who killed our ambassador again?? Answer. You're really going to go off a tweet from someone inside the US embassy in Egypt trying to calm the situation down before the attacks occurred and ...using that to say the president sympathized with the people who later killed our ambassador?
Or do you want to bring yourself back to some level of credibility here? I know the Palin-level morons are going to run with this because they need something to get them excited, but you?
Perhaps I should stop expecting more than Palin-level idiocy.

Heck. Steve. Who gives a fuck about your petty squabbles on this right now. No matter who said what something needs to be done. Will Obama do it?

What do you think needs to be done? What do you think Obama needs to do? Use more drone strikes on Libyans?

And what would you like see done? I'd like to see an effort to find out who did this and kill them. I want Munich. That's what I suspect is about to happen. That's what the president just said he's going to do, and he's kind of known for sending in Seal teams and dropping lots of bombs from drones, so I don't worry so much about his nerve.
What would you like to see happen?
As for Steve and his RNC talking point, this is real underhanded bullshit during a political season. And it's being called out by people left and right. It makes Romney look like what he is: a slimy political opportunist. I just like to think I'm dealing with people who don't fall for it all hook line and sinker, even the stuff that you couldn't defend if you tried.

David Frum:
"Politicians must pander, it goes with the job. But they mustn't leave their fingerprints all over their pandering. The Romney campaign's attempt to score political points on the killing of American diplomats was a dismal business in every respect. Disregarding every other aspect, however, it was graceless and stupid as a matter of politics.
The incident reminds of one other thing: the dangerously distorting effect of disrespect for one's political opponents.
Inside Team Romney, and among Romney's donors and core supporters, it may be taken absolutely for granted that Barack Obama is a weak-willed appeaser of radical Islam, a cringing apologizer for America who does not love the country the way "we" do. So why not say it loud, especially when you think you've just caught his administration doing it again? And then you discover the mistake only after the statement has departed the outbox."
-
Michael Tomasky:
"Once again, the Romney pattern holds: pander to the right, issue an irresponsible statement, before Romney and his people even know whether this violence is going to spread, and prove that they will try to use even the violent deaths of four diplomats to political advantage. This isn't an aberration. We've seen enough to know that this is his character."

Exactly, on my way home, I heard the two clips - Obama condemning, then kind of sort backing off.
the old smoke and mirrors. Obamao is a disgrace to our country.
I wonder when Shep will come back, and admit that his super Obamao
never brought us together, but rather, the opposite...
and never cut our deficit in half, but on the way to the opposite,
and of course, he supports the 2nd Amendment, but never has,
and has anti gun people all over his entire admin, and swore an oath to
defend our Constitution, but has little regard for it, and has openly violated it,
and, how Obamao was "SUPPOSED" to have a magic twanger, and make
our U.S. really, really, really more respected in the world, COUGH COUGH....
then again, I'm sure Shep doesn't have the nads to come back and admit ObaMao
is not the great pres Shep said he'd be. Very much... the exact opposite.
Meanwhile, why is it again, that we are giving Egypt a BILLION bucks?

Mark this down.
I stand corrected.
I must have misunderstood the discussion this morning.

"They were just trying to score a cheap news cycle hit based on the embassy statement and now it’s just completely blown up," said a very senior Republican foreign policy hand, who called the statement an "utter disaster" and a "Lehman moment" — a parallel to the moment when John McCain, amid the 2008 financial crisis, failed to come across as a steady leader... "I guess we see now that it is because they’re incompetent at talking effectively about foreign policy," said the Republican. "This is just unbelievable — when they decide to play on it they completely bungle it."
...This is what I was thinking. I think this is going to be a turning point in the campaign, when people just see his pathetic opportunism for what it is. He's conducted himself like a very small man.

It's going to get worse. Clearly, they're already worried about the polls and are going to start throwing the low blows. Oh, it's going to get much worse.

U.S. Embassy Condemns Religious Incitement
September 11, 2012
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.
People stand around a drawing that says “Remember your black day 11 September”
during a protest against what they said was a film being produced in the United States
that was insulting to the Prophet Mohammad, in front of the U.S. embassy in Cairo September 11, 2012. (Reuters)
**************************
Meanwhile, Obamao declared war on the religious churches and colleges in the U.S,, by trying to force them to violate their
religious beliefs over Obamao's election year intrusion into insurance for employees.
Got it.
More opposite from ObaMao, the Great Oppositer.

I don't know but we need to make a harsh statement. Try this again and this is what happens. Fuck Libya.
