Obama to Jon Stewart: When Four Americans Are Murdered, "It's Not Optimal"
— Ace

I get what he's doing. A big of understatement.

But this of a piece with calling the deaths "bumps in the road."

If you get the feeling Obama's chief problem with the deaths of these men is the impact they have on the campaign, that's because his chief problem with the deaths of these men is the impact they have on the campaign.

What about your gaaafes, Governor Romney?

Oh, check out Bill Clinton, really trying his best to make sure his good friend Obama wins.

"But this of a piece with calling the deaths 'bumps in the road'".

I was hugely frustrated not to have heard that phrase thrown back in Obama's face during the second debate. Mitt missed an over the plate pitch.

I can't think of anything so utterly gauche having been voiced by an American president in my lifetime. It puts Carter's manifold verbal idiocies in the shade.

27 You know what I am just gonna repost what i said before because frankly this piece of shit anti-american asshole currently occupying the white house isn't worth typing it out again.

285 Here is the problem.

Its not just that our people asked for more security and were denied.

Its not just that they outsource security to a company in greaT britiaN.

Its not just that that company outsourced the actual work to libyan locals in some company called Brotherhood of Martyr Towelhead Security Services.

Its no just that they watched the events in real time.

Its not just that there was no actual protest there before or after the even, just an al quadia strike force.

Its not just that the president went to sleep while Muhammad Towelheadabibi was introducing Ambassador Stevens' anus to his little freind minimuhammad.

Its not just that our ambassador was anally raped beaten and strangled to death then dragged through the streets and his corpse was dumped off at the hospital 8-12 hours later.

Its not just that the administration new from day one that it was al quaida but went on to call it a spontaneous demonstration that led to violence.

Its not just that Shllary and that MotherfuckingObama stood next to the coffins of our men when they arrived and continued to blame the video in speeches.

Its not just that they sent Ambassador Susan Sucksobamacocklikewhiteon Rice out to all the talk shows five days after the event and had her continue to claim that it was a SPONTANEOUS RESPONSE to a Disgusting Internet Video.

Its not just that they spent 70K to make a commercial where Hillary sucked some islamicock and appologized to the arab world for the video and they ran it out there.

Its not just that MotherfuckingObama went on the view and continued to say it was the video and they didnt know it was al quaida.

Its not just that that Mother Fucking Cock Sucking America Hating Apologist Piece Of Fucking Dog Shit Obama went in front of the United Nations and in a speech continued to blame the MOTHER FUCKING VIDEO SIX GOD DAMN TIMES for the violence and never once called Behngazi or however you spell that fucking pit in the middle of the desert a Terrorist Attack.

Its not just the fact that this stupid college grad administration with no fucking real world experience has seen their entire foreign policy blow up in their faces and they dont want to admit that infact, arabs hate obama just as much as bush and the mother fucking ONE is just a speech and didnt really change a god damn thing.

WHAT IT FUCKING IS IS THAT THIS STUTTERING CLUSTERFUCK OF A MISERABLE FAILURE JUST LIED TO AMERICAN PEOPLE IN A DEBATE WATCHED BY 70 MILLION PEOPLE AND SAID THAT HE IN FACT DID CALL IT AN ACT OF TERROR ON DAY ONE....AND THAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO SUCK HIS FUCKING COCK AND PRETEND DAY 2 THROUGH MOTHER FUCKING DAY 15 NEVER FUCKING HAPPENED!

You know what?

87 Probably premature, but:

As an Open Letter to Black Americans:
Its Over. The trouble is, once Obama climbed that ladder on your good faith in him, he has kicked it away through his fecklessness.

I want to say: Sorry. There will be another black President, and - sadly - another Democrat President, but there will not be another black Democrat President for another 40 years, at least.

The American people are forgiving and love underdogs, but they've a long memory too.

The good news is: Look at the Republican backbench. There is a lot of hope to be found there. Friends, fight for your candidate, allow it all to be normal for a black man to win and lose with grace. But then keep an open mind, for the next black President is very likely to be a Republican. This can still be your century, and one to be proud of.

/anyway, that's just me saying this.

98 Obama's problem seems to be He has a set agenda , one that He has already completed  for this point of his presidency (in his own mind,) otherwise it is about campaigning and partying,
he didn't want to be bothered with ambassador problems prior to the ambassador's death nor afterwards.  (those countries are small countries over there , like Iran)
He is not sympathetic to the hardships americans are suffering, he does not feel empathy for anyone unless they are standing in front of him for that moment and he wants their vote.
when he walks away he's already forgotten them .
i truly believe this, or he would have learned on the job what Does Not work, and corrected it.

100 and here's a not ha-ha funny quote:

As Charles Schmitz, a Yemen expert at Towson University in Maryland, told the Los Angeles Times, “The more the U.S. applies its current policy, the stronger Al Qaeda seems to get.” He was referring to drone strikes but I'd swear I've heard lefty types saying a few years back (before Obama) that the result of the war on terrorism will be that for every terrorist we kill, ten more will join up.

Re "not optimal"... take a step back from the words and just think on a macro level for a second, not about Obama's words, but about his "temperament":


 

Have you ever seen President Obama as angry at the Islamic terrorists who killed an American ambassador as he has obviously been at Mitt Romney during the debates?  

 

Why exactly should he be so angry at Romney, whose only crime is seeking his job in a two-party democracy?

 

What does it say about Obama if he's angrier at fellow Americans -- Republicans -- than he is at Islamic terrorists?

119 And here we have the "other side of the preference cascade". Where everything the losing candidate does is wrong. You just can't stem the tide. You try every trick in the book, and nothing works. The pundits start to hedge their bets. The friends you thought you had start to drift away. The fall is going to be much more precipitous for TFG, because he was deified so. I would feel sad under normal circumstances, but when a man, on his first meeting with the opposition says, "I WON", you deserve what you get. You were all too eager to accept the adulation, the worship. You had no humility. Reap the whirlwind.

I was not a Romney supporter.  I probably posted some things that could be characterized as slamming during the primaries.  That's what primaries are for, to fight for the candidate who most closely represents your views.  I did not vote for Romney in the primary.  He won it, and became my candidate.  Since that time, he has become someone I respect, admire, and am very excited to vote for.  He has earned every ounce of my support, not just because he is the guy on the ticket, but because he has proved himself to be a damn fine man and  just the right man for the job. 

I make no apologies for any of that.

Posted by: eureka! at October 18, 2012 02:07 PM (cTjRR)

131 And this attitude on the part of TFG is why Pat Smith, the mother of Sean Smith, a state department employee who was killed in the consulate terrorist attack, I mean video protest, is going on tv crying because she can't get a straight answer about what happened to her son and why. She wants to know how he died, and what was done to his body before or after he died. And the Douchebag president is announcing that the situation isn't "optimal". The video of her asking people to help her get answers is heart-breaking.

From the story:
"You read that correctly. In July 2011, more than a year before the murder of our ambassador by Abu Obeida in Benghazi, Libya, the press reported that Abu Obeida was “in charge of internal security in Benghazi, essentially operating as a secret police force.”

“HereÂ’s what IÂ’ll say: If four Americans get killed, itÂ’s not optimal. WeÂ’re going to fix it. All of it,”  - - Obama

 

Wait, isn't this the administration that "fixed it" so that these people got killed? Requests for more security was turned down by this administration. These idiots had a chance to fix the security problem in a way that could have prevented anyone from dying to begin with. But they didn't. They did the opposite and Americans died because of the decision made by this administration.

I don't think the Stevens family is going to find comfort in having the same administration that is responsible for ignoring pleas for more security claim they can now fix it.
