He wants to be the president and what he did was not presidential at all.. it made him look like a hothead... and one thing we dont need is a hothead with access to the big red nuke button.
Right... because that's what Mitt Romney said... is that we should nuked everyone that is outside US borders... :roll:
Talk about being a hothead... you just jumped all over Romney for something he didn't say... he never once said the word nukes... Where is PolitFact when you need them... Maybe you should read what Mitt Romney said... and stop jumping to conclusions without all the facts...
(see how ridiculous that kind of reaction is?)
Yes the right keep saying so, but how exactly did he mess up....
His duty is to protect the safety of all Americans, especially abroad... he's established a weak foreign policy disposition which has emboldened our enemies, with the lack of response for numerous attacks... He inadequately prepared security at embassies in the Arab world for the 9/11 anniversary and the controversy over the film which they knew was occuring... Now as a result, people have lost their lives, and attacking US embassies has turned into sport for these people... The Obama administration has been weak, and still lacks a hard consequence that prevents further raids from occuring...
Yes according to the right, but the very same people had no problems when Bush or Reagan did the same thing... go figure.
WTF are you talking about... I don't ever remember Reagan and Bush skipping inteligence briefings to go to campaign fundraisers and neglecting to fully prepare the embassies to deal with expected raids...
Were all US embassies and consulates on a heightened state of alert because of 9/11? yes the where.. so how is he "lax in his duty"? Oh you one of those people that actually thinks that every US embassy is Fort Knox with a 10 mile no mans land and defended by a full division of marines right?
No, but I saw tear gas cannisters fired on American protesters during the conventions, the G6 summit, and other such appearances...
It's funny, real funny, that the Embassy in Egypt, a country in turmoil that had civilian reporters beaten, raped, and killed by unruly mobs (which were applauded in their actions by Obama and Hillary), that then elected leaders from the Muslim Brotherhood, a known active militant Wahabist terrorist organization, and the US Embassy, which is a sizeable property with a large employee base wasn't ready with crowd dispersal tools in the anticipation of violence around the 9/11 anniversary, and then with the film controversy on top of it...
Yet, you think the president was spot on in his duty... He skipped daily briefings and has been more concerned with campainging than the security of Americans abroad
You say they were on alert... but there's "be on alert", and there is adequate staffing and equiping for the situations that might arise. Given that this embassy in Egypt that got infultrated is in a country that just had unruly mobs overthrow its leader, and elect leaders from militant terrorist organizations, why would he think this embassy didn't need riot protection equipment?
All it would've taken is a handful of police with tear gas and rubber bullets, and the crowd would've been dispersed... and a FAST unit could've been there within hours to prevent any future attacks from occuring... Of course, that would require a president who was active and responsive... not a president who was busy fundraising for his campaign...
You got Biden goin around bragging that they got bin Laden... what's he done since then to ensure that there isn't going to be a future flare-up of large scale terrorism? Instead, he's egging them on to strike... with the weak image, the lack of a serious response to prior attacks, and the braggart statements...
This is Obama's fault... and if you felt that those attacks were Bush's fault, then these are certainly just as much on Obama's shoulders...
It is funny how none of the deadly attacks on US forces in the Iraq occupation was "Bush'es fault", but when there is a black Democrat in the White House, then suddenly it is all his fault even the cluster**** of a mistake the Conservative candidate does.
This is even funnier... that's just the point... the press and every single liberal tore GWB apart when Iraqis would bomb a mosque in Iraq, for not preventing it...
Somehow, Obama is given a pass, for a violent attack on 1 consulate, which resulted in deaths, and the raiding of a US embassy in a known hostile area... that escalted with the lack of a clear response, into a widespread sport of storming us embassies wherever you want to...
