— Ace Here's a question: Barack Obama was instrumental in pushing out Mubarrak and especially Qaddaffy. He did this, presumably, with the belief that the regimes that replaced those would be more agreeable to the American interests than the ones he helped push out. (Again, especially in the case of Qaddaffy, where "help" came in the form of airstrikes.)
Does Obama still have faith he did the right thing, now that the Muslim Brotherhood (aligned with Al Qaeda) controls Egypt, and Al Qaeda (also aligned with Al Qaeda) seems to control Libya?
But rather than discuss the actual events, and the foreign policy decisions (and lack of thinking, as represented by 104 golf rounds) that led to this pass, the press wants to ask Romney if he "JUMPED THE GUN" in his statements.
At 6:24, a caterwaul issues from, I think, Norah O'Donnell, but that's just based on what I think she sounds like. Compare to "What about your gaaaaffes" and "The Palestinians."

It's because they don't want the public to get even MORE evidence that our asshole Preezy can only lead from behind. He should have held a presser last night -- he waited till this morning. He should have held a presser when we found out the ambassador and others were killed in Libya -- he waited till this morning. He should have had a presser when the Egyptians attacked in Cairo -- he HASN'T EVEN MENTIONED IT.
Romney is filling the leadership vacuum that's lodged between Obama's enormous ears.

I saw quite a bit of that during his Q&A. He's so much smarter and quicker than they are that they're just sort of left sputtering in the dust. Again, the contrast between Romney and Obama was profound, and people will notice. Romney is ready for the 3 am phone call: Obama never will be.

Tell me, what additional facts makes it ok to apologize for our freedom of speech?
So, tell me if I got this right: We are free to exercise our freedom of speech so long as it doesn't offend anyone anywhere in the world?
Or, as the piss-yellow coward John Roberts would say, "You are free to exercise your freedom of speech. You are not free, however, to refuse to pay the tax on speech the government disagrees with."

Obama is complicit in the assasination of Quadafy.
I've been pointing this out since day one. There is a marked difference between what happened in Egypt and what happened in Libya.
Both stand in stark contrast to US actions in Iraq and Afghanistan under Bush.
What Obama did in Libya is a crime. That can't be said enough. He commited US resources to a war without Congressional consent and he aided in the murder of a sovereign country's leader. Those are facts.

During the hostage crisis in 1979-1980, there were daily reminders of the outrage. No matter who the favored candidate might be, the humiliating news was reported.
Let's see how the upcoming war in the middle east is covered. Barky has already set the table by making it possible for Egypt and Libya to be taken over by muslim brotherhood/al quada, thus giving the fringe elements in those countries an entire country's wealth and military.
How many troops do we have in Iraq, and how fast can they come home? If our military is just over there to be slaughtered like the two Marines in the Libyan embassy assault, I want them home now.

Isn't it obvious the Libyan and Egyptian attacks were coordinated through the Muslim Brotherhood? Nothing could be more clear for those with eyes who use them to see things. Same targets, same message, the core Muslim Brotherhood message -- on a flag no less.
But in Obama's speech he suggested that if we just watched our "denigration" tendencies maybe we wouldn't get attacked. Infuriating.
We really have become Steve Martin in The Jerk.

That's gonna be probably the biggest bitch for the MFM WH Press Pool. Mitt is the kind of guy who probably annoyed the hell out of his kids by always telling them, "To be early is to be on time! To be on time is to be late!"
He might even dick with them sometimes and start a speech or two 20 seconds early, just to make all of the networks look like Amateur Hour as their intros stumble into his opening.

#72 You got it.
This is all intentional. The goal is to surround Israel with radical failed Islamist states, get Israel so nervous that it launches prremptive strikes, and then tell them Americans are tired of war and won't help. This is how they intend to destory Isarel without the fingerpints of a US President directly on it. Leaving the Islamic government in Iran is crucial to the plan. And Iran's client Syria is not to be touched either.
Remember, Egypt is the only ME country to have a peace agreement with Israel. How to get around that? Overthrow Mubarak, allow the Musilm Brotherhood to take over and renounce the treaty.
Gaddafi had actually been defanged by the US. he was no threat to anyone. So of course Obama makes the big show of helping to overthrow him.
This is all intentional. Now I do not believe sacrificing a US Ambassador was part of the plan, but one reason Obama had little to say this morning is that he is seeing his plan blow up in his face with these murders.

"Is Obama really playing President MeToo?"
According to something I read yesterday (possibly HA?), Barry not only plays "President Me-Too," but he also has developed what some are characterising as a rather annoying tendency to play "President I Do It Better."
Everything from chili cook-offs, to speechwriting, to doodling.
This is why I wager he plays so much golf. Sure, everybody knows that Kim Jong Il's alleged round of 30 is a hoax, but JUST IN CASE, Barry wants to see if he can actually play a round of 28.

My husband is seriously freaking out, he works out of the house and has the TV on (CNN, I don't know why, I make him switch to Fox when I get home.) He called me to rant about Romney losing now because of how hard the press is hammering him about this, and using McCain's and other GOP criticism to blast Romney. I told him I thought it would remind people of how similar Obama is to Carter. I then ordered him to turn off the damn tv before he has heart failure.
