Breaking: Romney: Obama handling of Libya, Egypt violence 'disgraceful'
CNN ^ | September 11, 2012 | Mitt Romney

Posted on 09/11/2012 7:40:37 PM PDT by SE Mom

(CNN) - Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney on Tuesday issued a paper statement sharply critical of President Barack Obama over his handling of violence in the Middle East earlier in the day.

“I'm outraged by the attacks on American diplomatic missions in Libya and Egypt and by the death of an American consulate worker in Benghazi," Romney said in the statement. "It's disgraceful 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.”

Romney is not president so he has no way. Even a President has only some opportunities to get the word out to all people. The media has all power. Lets see you get past the media . Go ahead inform all about how Obama did what a President cannot do : how Obama issued an executive order giving Amnesty to a million illegals. I talk to a lot of idiots who love Obama and have not heard how this monster Obama has violated the law and constitution.
How else do you think the media demonized Palin and not many know about Obama’s Islamic upbringing, Airs , its pastor and what Obam is doing NOW to America , the real unemployment rate , the debt obama is building.

“disgraceful”

Wow! that’s gonna leave a mark! /s

How about, “After groveling and bowing before those who oppose us and insulting our closest allies, President Obama has created a dangerous situation throughout the Middle East and around the world. His weakness and lack of understanding of world affairs threatens to ignite the world with war. This reminds me of the lack of respect created by President Carter when our Embassy and its people were seized in Iran in 1976. We find ourselves in exactly the same place, for the same reason. There is just one way to restore our standing and respect in the world - sadly, it is to remove President Obama. The sooner, the better.”

Someone has to die before mittens wakes up. Well, let’s hope he stays awake now, because we got a lot to lose if the long-legged macdaddy kenyan muslim stays in the white house.

Sarah Palin and Laura Ingraham have skewered the Romney team for being so timid. Hope it wakes the Romney team up.

Saying that and talking about how BO rarely goes to security briefings should be pretty powerful—that is if Romney talks about it.

"I’d probably do something pretty drastic."

4 FA/18's on full afterburner at about 100 ft. doing a 360 around the embassies. If the crowds don't clear, one more lap dropping the ord.

If that doesn't work, get serious.

What is the point in being negative? Laud Romney for this and tell him to keep at it.

“Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.””

Marines in Cairo and Behghazi: shoot back. Shoot to kill. Remember what Jimmy Carter did to the embassy in Tehran.

Why don’t you knock off the “mittens” crap. Or perhaps you prefer 4 more years of the crypto muslim.

He’s the nominee, grow up!

The untold story is that Romney pressed for the soft, deferential version of the statement but his more hawkish staff won the argument.

Good for him. This keeps the recent events in the news and helps frame the narrative. Maybe Romney could mention something about how Great Leader should spend more time in the Oval Office and less time on late-night television. Expect a celebrity flare-up of epic proportions to help distract the sheeple.

The media got a small time community organizer, Kenyan Marxist, POS that had never had a real job ,no executive experience elected president. Since you really think the media is not all powerful then you don't live in reality.
