R&R using 9/11 to attack Obama

[Kershaw]

this is in really poor taste and the political world is in up roar about it. not only did he use 9/11 to attack obama, he straight up lied about what obama said. romney said obama sympathized with the attackers? and he immediately switches around after saying most americans dont care about foreign policy? how many times have these 2 jumped back and forth on issues within days?

wtf? is this guy on crack?

he is using the death of a us ambassador to falsely attack obama. what a fucking class act.

picture of him after he gives his remarks. what a self satisfied douche.

That it’s fundamentally dishonest hasn’t stopped Mitt Romney from repeating his central critique of Barack Obama’s foreign policy over and over – the idea that the president “went around the world and apologized for America.” So it shouldn’t be surprising that Romney’s response to the attacks on U.S. diplomatic installations in Egypt and Libya was rooted in the same caricature of Obama as apologizer-in-chief.
“It’s disgraceful,” Romney’s statement, which was released late Tuesday night, read, “that the Obama administration’s first response was not to condemn attacks on our diplomatic missions, but to sympathize with those who waged the attacks.”
That’s not at all what happened, of course. The actual chronology goes something like this: As anti-American protests inspired by a crude Terry Jones video began gathering steam, the U.S. embassy in Cairo – and not the Obama White House — put out a statement condemning “the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims — as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions.”
The obvious intent was to cool the passions of the protesters. As Marc Ambinder explained, it was “exactly what Americans inside the embassy who are scared for their lives now and worry about revenge later need to have released in their name.”
Protests were also building in Libya, and sometime later the U.S. consulate in Benghazi came under siege, with news breaking late Tuesday night that a State Department official had been killed. It was around this time that two major American political figures released statements. One came from Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and read: “I condemn in the strongest terms the attack on our mission. We are heartbroken by this terrible loss. There is never any justification for violent acts of this kind.” The other was Romney’s.

Obama is just as bad as Jimmy at Foreign Affairs. Proof is what's happening at several of our consulates. But go ahead and attack Romney over something as weak as this. The press was conspiring against him in the press room anyways.

[Kershaw]

You need to wear a second tin foil hat. No one is conspiring to make Romney look bad. The press is aghast at his comments. Everyone thinks its unbelievable. Instead of backing down, Romney had continued his statements. http://www.alternet.org/romney-conti...ted?paging=off

And if Obama is so bad at foreign policy, why does so much of the world support him?

[z31maniac]

why does so much of the world support him?

YOu mean like Germans who are saying his "middle eastern policy is in Ruins"?

All of you guys should really read some news beyond your favorite US based source of bias.

[Kershaw]

So you're saying the German government would prefer Romney? Lol, no.

[Grand525]

Which party is hiding their own recent former Prez & Vice Prez, from their own convention?

It seems like they are doing everything they can to make sure people don't see and talk about them.

[z31maniac]

So you're saying the German government would prefer Romney? Lol, no.

I said read German sources, then you use a picture quoting all American newspapers.

I never said they would prefer Romney, I realize it's hard for you to keep track of things.....you are the one that said the rest of the world approved of Obama.......I was pointing to the most important member of the EU who IS not happy with his Middle Eastern policies.

For fuck's sake man, take off the blinders.

[Kershaw]

i came in to post that picture, but instead of ignoring you i responded.

2 separate items.

maybe i should have put dividers between them for you? i was referring to the poll that asked people their vote in 32 different. obama has 81% of the vote. i took the first link off google, but feel free to verify the results yourself. source. and while they may not agree with his policy in the middle east, there is a lot more to him than just that. the world is obviously not tossing him to the wind because of one aspect they dont agree with. hell, i disagree with him on more than one item, but he's got my repeat vote.

[gwb72tii]

the rest of the world supports obama?
are you fucking kidding me?
just who exactly? libya? egypt? iran? afghanistan? iraq? poland? yemen? jordan?

Wasn't it obamas secretary of state that said it was our right to question any administration? So we can question GWB and the Iraq war, but not obama?
