He [0bama] will do nothing except trot PIAPS out....to make some meaningless statement...

OMG, now there is an acronym I've not heard for a while, and for the few who might be late to the show,

PIAPS = 'Pig In A Pant Suit' (aka Shrillery)

Romney will castrate him if he doesn’t respond.

So you think that Romney will surgically remove Obozo's vagina?
Oh my goodness...

If we are finding out now Obama has known for hours. Yet nothing. No response no statement not a damned thing. This is an attack on U.S. sovereign territory and Obama is too busy campaigning to be bothered with such trivialities

As an American I take this as a personal attack against me...

Hours have gone by and we have npot domne anything about this...

Hoping that a Romney adminbistration would have acted is no use either...

Willard is of the class that would have had Reagan say “Carter should have had this wall torn down...”

Do you have a link? Our biased news media is going to try to ignore this.

What a nasty little trap Chairman Zero is in - if he does something militarily his moony left and islamic voting bases will surely castrate him - if he does nothing - such as sending a strongly worded Tweet - he'll be utterly vilified by the rest of the population. No choice is really a good choice for him at this point. Damned sad people had to die over it - their sacrifices may go unavenged.

Maybe, this is all some twisted sacrificial effort by his muslim allies to give him an opportunity to use our military? A Sept/October surprise.

I don't put it past these evil spawn.

"More to come, maybe, but Obama is going to have to do something now. "

I can't decide if he's going to try to downplay it, capitalize on it, or somehow try to do both. Should be interesting. This on top of the Cairo thing and the Bibi/Israel row, and one thing's for sure: higher fuel costs running up to the election.

Fasten seatbelts time.

A strongly worded letter might be offensive - that’s a lot to risk. The school bully wants the lunch money and he wants it on time. And he doesn’t want any lip. Obama will go with an apology of types..

I am curious to the time the Ambassador was killed. If the White House sat on this for several hours before the press reported it, they must have had to wait for Obathouse to wake up.

Well we knew one person was killed long before he should have went to bed. If this is all one event, they’ve sat on it for a very long time.

Yep...if it was just a “lowly” service member the media would merely write it off as the cost of business, but when it’s one of their own beautiful people” set, there will be recriminations. If one of our ambassadors can be killed without consequence, every member of our foreign service has just been put in jeopardy.
