By slamming the Obama administration as the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans were killed in Libya, the Republican nominee has given the appearance of exploiting an international tragedy. Whether his criticism is warranted or not, the timing seems insensitive—as if Romney is more interested in scoring political points than mourning the deaths of U.S. diplomats.Romney just demonstrated that he is unfit to serve as president of the United States.
Condolences to the family of Ambassador Stevens and the others who were killed in the attacks.
I disagree. As American's we need to protect our interests around the world including the American people that are serving.
ReplyDeleteAgain, the current administration has had people die because of their lack of understanding of just who our friends are. The embassy was not guarded by Marines, instead the local hired guards pointed the protesters to the where the embassy empolyees were hiding and killed them. U.S. Marines defending the American embassy in Egypt were not permitted by the State Department to carry live ammunition, limiting their ability to respond to attacks like those this week on the U.S. consulate in Cairo. Ambassador to Egypt Anne Patterson “did not permit US Marine guards to carry live ammunition,” according to multiple reports on U.S. Marine Corps blog spotted by Nightwatch. “She neutralized any US military capability that was dedicated to preserve her life and protect the US Embassy.” If true, the reports indicate that Patterson shirked her obligation to protect U.S. interests, This administration is supporting the Arab Spring, who is killing our own citizens. (Shades of Carter)
ReplyDeleteEvery major newspaper editorial board across the country hammered Romney today. Why? Because politics are supposed to stop at the waters edge. The corpses weren't even cold before Romney tried to take political advatage of the situation. And that smirking press conference he gave litterally made my skin crawl. The man has no soul.
ReplyDeleteEveryone should go see "Obama's America 2016". I am very worried about America's future,our children and grandchildren's future. Four more years of the road we are currently traveling will be disasterous.
ReplyDeleteObama had his chance to fullfill his promises but didn't. He himself said if he couldn't do it in 3 1/2 years, he would not deserve another term. Now, he changes his mind. I know eveyone wants to blame Congress but I don't buy that. Obama has shown that he can just invoke executive privilage and pass whatever he wants into law. That was his fix for Immigration. Now he knows he will get the votes he needs.
I, too, saw "2016 Obama's America" and I hadn't been to a movie in three years at least! Everyone should go see it. And I agree with 6:47pm - 4 more years will be disastrous, which is why I advise everyone to get a passport in case you have to flee in a hurry. We're on the brink of financial disaster and the majority of folks are burying their heads in the sand.
ReplyDelete"Romney is Unfit to Serve" !!!!!
ReplyDeleteAre you freaking kidding ????
This administration KNEW about the planned attack and NEVER even gave an alert! Which left our Americans sitting ducks!
Where was our President?, out campaiging!
This president needs to go! Preferably, to Egypt. Permanetly !
You people have short memories. Talk about Obama knowing about a planned attack sounds hauntingly familiar. Oh yeah, something about Bush's daily briefing entitled, "Bin Laden Determined to Strike inside US."
