He wanted to offer encouragement after four State Department workers were murdered yesterday in Libya.

A State Department official described the event to the White House pooler.

"Obama spoke for about 15 minutes to a large crowd gathered in the courtyard in the middle of the State Department Building. There were at least a couple of hundred people gathered for the president's remarks, some people watching from the windows," according to the pooler.

He uses the suffocation of a man who was murdered to put the spotlight and attention back on him.

Wow.

Simply......wow.

The people who vote for this scumbag, the people who give him money, the reporters who cover up for him are all simply evil vermin.

There is no other way to describe it.
