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."

Thought his aim was great. As for Obama; he cannot be what he otherwise is. Obama; does not favor 'aiming'. A bow, is what works for him. Be it 'word'; deed'; ; Obama favors 'bending over'; big time.

(Nothing more; save he does lie when his lips move; and he can talk out of both sides of his mouth as the same time. Practiced man; he is.)

The media has been in Obama’s pocket since January 2008, they saw something in him that they didnt even see in Hillary Clinton. They saw in Obama that he was the most Progressive, far left guy that they have seen since Carter(Obama makes Carter look decent) this is who the media fell in love with, this is who they will protect FOREVER. No matter what happens, they will take the focus off of Obama and put it on Romney, or Palin, or Bush, or ANYONE else, because Obama is a failure and they know it, that is why they have to protect him

Say hello to Jimmy Carter when you are buliding “Hoaxes for Humanity” homes. (Yes, I said it - Habitat for Humanity is a joke of a “charity”)

I am sure it is. The mob never got into the Chancery building or the other tower on the complex. I have been there about a dozen times.

The Media people thing they know it all. They certainly do not have much patriotism. Do they believe in God? They follow Obama like a bunch of sheeple. It is the blind leading the blind, full of emotion and no common sense.

The only POP the FOREIGNER has is for other fellow GAYS. His election was the GREATEST POLITICAL FRAUD ever committed against the U.S. in our history.

They are upset because they were supposed to drag him across the finish line based on is so-called foreign policy success.

That empty chair is getting heavier to drag every day.

Would it not be haunting if in any one of the pictures to come out of the rubble of the burned out Bengahzi mission there is an empty chair?

Romney had a duty to voice his opinion on this crisis. He is a Presidential candidate. People have a right to know his thoughts on important subjects. The President said thought should be given before a statement is made. I guess some people are quick thinkers and others not so much. The fact that this crisis happened during a political campaign is not Romney’s fault.

There is a reason the Obama protection agency in the “News Media” is busy spinning this on a movie no one has ever heard of.

You can see the blatant coordination of coverage. All the usual Progressive Fascists Democrats in the “news” media are using the same words and talking points. The mobs in the ME aren’t chanting about this movie, they are chanting “1 billion Osamas”.

This is a reaction to Obama bragging 21 times last week about killing Osama

I guess that’s TECHNICALLY possible, with Obama having both his head, and thumb, up his a$$.
