Obama to welcome home remains of Americans killed in Libya

President Barack Obama will travel to Andrews Air Force Base outside Washington on Friday to welcome home the remains of U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens and the three other Americans killed in an attack on the consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

"The President and Secretary Clinton will attend the Transfer of Remains Ceremony marking the return to the United States of the remains of the four Americans killed this week in Benghazi, Libya; the President and Secretary Clinton will deliver brief remarks," the White House said in a statement.

Obama's attendance, announced at the last minute, came as protests spread at American diplomatic facilities across northern Africa, the Mideast and Asia. Demonstrators stormed the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, Egypt, on Tuesday, tore down the American flag and replaced it with an Islamist banner. The embassy in Yemen came under attack on Thursday.

The president has been working the phones with leaders in the region, calling those in Egypt, Libya and Yemen to urge greater security for American facilities. He has also ordered special Marine units tasked with protecting—and, if necessary, evacuating—embassies and consulates to both Libya and Yemen.

In a good reality, they would rise from their caskets and yell “YOU DID THIS TO US!”

If there were no photo-op opportunities, he would be raising more money. Watch the MSM make so much of this. He will probably demand multiple shots at various angles, etc. What’s the phrase, don’t let a crises go to waste?

We can expect some grandiose comment from Obo for the Friday news dump.

Mr. pResident, why are you politicizing the return of our Embassy staff, and Ambassadors remains?

Somehow this seems so unjust and mocking...

I wonder why...

I’m sure Obama, during his remarks, will make sure they are compared to his campaign workers in Las Vegas.

The best way to not waste a crisis, is to engineer it yourself so you know exactly when to expect it, and it looks just the way you want it too.

My first thought was what are these two hypocritical pukes doing other than soiling the arrival of American dead!! This photo op makes me want to throw up. If any of those men were related to me, I would raise Holy Hell that Hussein and Hitlery came within 100 miles of my loved one!!!

Is it my imagination or have all the other ‘powers’ in Europe and our allies elsewhere in the world got quiet all of a sudden.

It looks like they're all standing around watching “O” self-destruct.

Should make a great campaign photo ... especially if he wipes a fake tear from his eye.

Meanwhile, he and Michelle TWEET this, only yesterday:

"Beyoncé and Jay-Z are hosting the President in New York—your chance for two spots on the guest list ends at midnight."

ACTUAL TWEETS

No you are correct.. I haven’t’ read anything from any other countries. Maybe they are afraid of the lying film angle.

Save your fake grief.

From Shakespeare, maybe not word for word, but close enough.....

“Hang yourself brave Crylon, for we fought at Arques today and you were not there.”

When our nation needed a leader, we got a politician running to Las Vegas to hide from his responsibilities and raise campaign money.

Europe desperately needs the ME oil. The EU is attempting to pull together several big bribe packages for Egypt and Libya in the billions to keep the oil flowing...
