Obama: Romney shoots first, aims later

By Brian Montopoli

Updated 4:53 p.m. Eastern Time

(CBS News) In response to Mitt Romney's criticism of the Obama administration for its handling of recent violence in Egypt and Libya, President Obama told CBS News on Wednesday that Romney "seems to have a tendency to shoot first and aim later."

"There's a broader lesson to be learned here," Mr. Obama told "60 Minutes" correspondent Steve Kroft at the White House. "And I -- you know, Governor Romney seems to have a tendency to shoot first and aim later. And as president, one of the things I've learned is you can't do that. That, you know, it's important for you to make sure that the statements that you make are backed up by the facts. And that you've thought through the ramifications before you make 'em."

Asked if Romney's attacks were irresponsible, the president replied, "I'll let the American people judge that."

So he's not busy dealing with the Middle East, instead he's campaigning and talking to the captive press? And Mitt Romney is being criticized, not Barack Obama? This is like Alice in Wonderland.

At least Romney shoots.

Obama’s sitting in a corner, sucking his thumb.

Media and Democrats Try to Make Obama's Foreign Policy Disaster About Mitt Romney

0bama = Carter; Middle East aflame; USA attacked without retribution and impotent.

And the Pravda DNC-slave media says Romney's foreign policy vision is 'vague' ...

Well, limp-wristed David G, 0bama's is clear and it is an unmitigated DISASTER to the USA and Israel!

Whenever America is attacked, Obama rushes to a mic to apologize.

Let’s talking about shooting first, Barry.

How about blaming the attacks on the stupid movie, before finding out that the attacks were planned months ago.

The target was so big, so inviting, so vulnerable, it was IMPOSSIBLE to not hit a very vital point most anywhere, whether taking careful aim or just shooting from the hip.

The aim did not have to be in the least bit accurate.

And SOMEBODY has to be acting the part of President.

Oh, so the “broader lesson” is about Mitt Romney!! Not about the terrorists and Obama’s failed policies???

Did the reporter get in Obama’s face about HIM deflecting responsibility by turning it into a political issue??? Guess not.

Obama’s so cool and collected, I’m sure he was having a good ole time while his ambassadors were being MURDERED by an insane Islamist crowd in countries he coddles.

Romney may shoot first, but he’s not bending over and taking it!

Obama is a Muslim sympathizer - he said so himself.

This is what Romney (re)stated as a criticism of 0’s handling of the embassy crisis.

Limbaugh made a great point about the DNC convention -- just one long brag about killing Osama.

Will the aged 1960s Marxist-Alinsky campus radical, psycho spoiled brats and their bratty ideological issue dominating the MSM mention that Osama connection . . .

Will Obama, et al ever stop excusing the violence of these mentally deranged issue of Islamic consanguineous marriages (Notice I said Islamic not Muslim. I believe that there is a big difference) . . . .

Wait a Minute!!

This happened TODAY! And Obama dares to talk about “Broader Lessons” which are a political attack on Mitt Romney???

He sure got over the Islamic attacks awfully quick to focus on the “broader” picture of saving his political ass!

This is infuriating.
