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.”

The Won in the white hut is wrong about everything...

the economy, foreign policy, cultural extremes, tribalism, classwarfare, violating the constitution and all it’s rights, Federal spending, GM, massive corruption and supportor kickbacks or picking the winners and losers in private industry, unions, EPA, micromanaging school lunches, open borders when we have real jihadist threats against our country, DHS security policy focused on harassing and violating Americans and naming obama’s American political enemies threatening domestic terrorists...

The guy is a walking, talking stink bomb. Such an easy target; Romney needs to go for the media’s American Idol throat. This country is not a mindless game show.

Which he did here! Finally!!! Don’t let up, Mr. Romney.

He won’t go back to playing the good natured villiage idiot unless he’s wanting Obama to stay in the White House and wants America taken down.

The only way to remove this idiot from office is to break down the media’s illusion of Amerian Idol coolest, smartest rap, hollywood President. Romeny does that by being serious. All Obama’s policies are dumb and dangerous as heck. It’s not time for the to pretend GOP to pretend they are a player in the media’s vapid American idol queer contest.

I believe that in November this country is going to release a wave of anger and frustration.

There it is. I said I’d vote for him if he stood up against the islamofascists, and he did.

Obama needs to be removed from office by impeachment to restore competence in the executive branch before the entire world. The present incompetence is leading directly to a massive world war!

Good. Romney needs to jump on this immediately with an ad buy, especially after the murder of the US ambassador.

It should denounce Obama’s air support putting these people in charge. It should denounce Obama as a threat to the well-being of American national security and way of life.

We cannot sleep easily in this country knowing that our administation wants to unilaterally disarm our nuclear capacity, it wants our ally Israel to submit to Iranian conquest, and it has no idea what it’s doing in the middle east.

"“We are shocked that, at a time when the United States of America is confronting the tragic death of one of our diplomatic officers in Libya, Governor Romney would choose to launch a political attack,” LaBolt wrote."

No, you're just "shocked" Romney called you out on it....a$$holes!

“Mitt mistakenly believed that he would beat Obama on the economy.”

Yesterday a newscast said that polling showed that Americans trust Obama more than Romney on both the economy and education. It’s unthinkable! Where are these idiots coming from? History has shown that Mitt has had almost perfect success when it comes to anything financial, while Hussein has ruined us financially. Still... they trust the Muslim more.

And education... Kids are graduating dumber today than they did four years ago.

What you said: Now, THAT’s a statement! If only Mitt would grow a pair.

Considering his opposition, everything Mitt says and does should be over the top in order to be effective and make people pay attention.

The “untold story”? Your version was “untold” for a reason.

You are either a troll or you have some personal, semi-psychotic grudge against Romney that makes you willing to jeopardize your country's future by effectively campaigning for Obama. Get lost, loser.

I’ve posted this on two other threads, so it won’t go away into the memory hole: From Obama, way way back....

One quote...

“When the political winds shift, I will stand with the Muslims.”

Where will he stand - in front of two burning embassies and a dead ambassador, perhaps?

Nice Arab Spring you gave us, Obi...

And the media won't cover Romney's response so the public won't even see it.

I missed Romney's response... I heard he took questions from the media afterward. How did Romney do?

Stupid Peggy Noonan said on Fox late this AM that she didn't think Romney should have said anything. "Sometimes it's better to say nothing." Peggy said as she squirmed in her seat, looking uncomfortable (her usual look these days). Oh well, consider the source...

definitely. And he needs to continue this type of honest wording, no matter how the mainstream media spins it.

Tomorrow he’ll be back to...But he’s a nice fellow, a friendly chap.

I believe he hasn't said that since Obama called him a felon and a murderer. Hopefully, that was enough to show him that Obama is either nice nor honest.
