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."

Maybe we should feel sorry for poor BodyOdor.

He has pinned the word enemy on us for so long that when those who truly are plotting against our country get busy, he seems truly puzzled.

Whatever. It is time for him to go.

Obama aims, then shoots blanks.

“seems to have a tendency to shoot first and aim later.”

***********

That’s a strange remark coming from Barney Fife Obama (no disrespect to Don Knotts). This coming from a moron who keeps his bullet in his shirt pocket, misfires and has his gun taken away before he kills someone.

You will be judged in November and the fumigating will begin in January.

In the face of the enemy Obama aims & shoots at his fellow Americans.

Or maybe we just have different enemies.

Obama did not mention Egypt today in his presser. No mention of the Embassy press release. No mention of any Egyptian government apology. No mention of the Egyptian government's failure to protect our Embassy with the mob scaling the wall, taking down and destroying our flag and running up the AQ flag? No mention of the graffiti on the Embassy walls?

Obama is a big Zero.

Romney isn’t the one who stirred up a war in Libya for no apparent reason without asking who would end up in power.

Is this not unbelievable that they are interviewing Obama to criticize Romney, and the bodies aren’t even cold yet!!!

Romney’s criticism is irresponsible??? Was Romney the one guarding the embassies or appeasing the muslim brotherhood???

Millions could die and CBS would rush to the White House so this scum could criticize Mitt Romney.

Criticism of Barack Obama is “irresponsible”! F him!

Romney’s aim was dead on, or this self centered jerk wouldn’t be giving political interviews with the bodies of our diplomats still warm.

Apparently my language can get my postings pulled, so.....
There is a bad word that starts with an “F”. My understanding is that this word originally meant “planting the seed”. So.....
This “planting the seed” President needs to get his “planting the seed” “donkey” away from campaigning and at “planting the seed” least look like he gives a “plant the seed” about these dead Americans and our nation. And to the media and Democrats who are trying to spin this and cover up for this stupid “plant the seed” President and his completely “planting the seed” inept Secretary of State, well here’s to them.....
“Plant the seed” you, you “planting the seed” “plant the seed” heads!
There’s dead Americans! This is serious business!

So instead of condemning Americans being KILLED overseas in OUR embassies, Obama decided to wait, because hey, campaigning and being interviewed by ghetto radio talk shows and Letterman are MUCH more important. For the first time in like, EVER..Romney actually showed balls and gave a great statement. Obama and his goons in the media hate that fact that THIS is Obama’s Carter moment

He runs to 60 Minutes for cover. Little wimp. Stay strong Romney. This is the kind of crap Palin had to deal with. Give it back to them by pointing out Obama’s failures in response to their inane questions. Ask them where the respect was while Bush was commander in chief.

Good.

And how would you like us to "judge" YOUR apology to the radical muslims that were storming our embassies and killing our citizens?

They are upset because they were supposed to drag him across the finish line based on is so-called foreign policy success. They can’t face the fact that he’s a total failure on all fronts.
