Obama’s Foreign Policy Of Reconciliation Lies In Tatters The President appears to be rethinking his stance on American interference abroad. Will he let the electorate know before the election?
A spectacularly successful White House spin operation saw to it that the only topic for debate in the media after the killing of American ambassador By Janet Daley 15 Sep 2012
What exactly is the nature and intention of Barack Obama’s foreign policy? What has the net effect been of his emphasis on apology and reconciliation with the Muslim world? How does he now see America’s global role? Bizarrely enough, none of these questions was being discussed in the immediate aftermath of last week’s attack on the United States consulate in Libya, which resulted in the first killing of an American ambassador since 1979. A spectacularly successful White House spin operation saw to it that the only topic for debate in the media was Mitt Romney’s Gaffe – a statement by the Republican presidential candidate that was diplomatically inept and mistimed, but trivial in comparison to the monumental issue of the President’s stance on America’s future relations with the Middle East.
As it happened, the Romney Gaffe – which appeared to exploit the tragedy for opportunistic political purposes – was almost immediately cancelled out by a much more serious Obama Gaffe, in which the President demoted Egypt from being an ally of the United States to the far more dubious status of being “not an enemy”. This utterance was so potentially explosive in its consequences that it had to be corrected within hours by a White House spokesman and the State Department. So the Gaffe score now being more or less at stalemate, perhaps we could discuss the substance of the matter?

Trending that way but maybe not in this election. Romney can beat Obama and likely will.
Yup.
The Ruling Elite that run our country don’t know what they’re doing, but think they’re doing a great job.
Very, very dangerous situation.
It’s not the voters who will get Obama reelected, it will be the non-voters, if it happens at all. Frankly, I think the polls are rigged to discourage voters who would support Romney. We all have to do our part to encourage Romney supporters or patriotic Americans to get out and vote.
0bama has set Israel up the bomb...

The embassy in Cairo puts out an apology for a movie most of the rioters know nothing about.
Former deputy national security adviser: US response to embassy attack ‘bizarre and unacceptable’
0bama sends a letter to Tehran assuring them that the U.S. will do nothing to help Israel taking that off of the table removing a big worry for them that might have made them think twice. Iran is good to go now with 0bama's blessing.
We don't support Israeli attack, US tells Iran
The "movie" turns out to be a red herring excuse to cover for the rioters.
CNN: Protests against film a ‘diversion. Attack was planned’
Quite a day of unfortunate coincidences. Israel was rebuffed and there were signals being sent to the MB and Iran. 0bama is giving the "go ahead" to the Muslim world to take out Israel.

U.S. denies premeditation report
"The Obama administration is flatly denying a blaring British newspaper report that the U.S. diplomats in Libya were killed as a result of a “continuing security breach,” and that “credible information” about possible attacks had been ignored. A U.S. official told POLITICO: “There's no intelligence indicating that the attack in Benghazi was premeditated.”"
Is that all incompetence? Or did it take planning to make all that happen?
Cloward & Pliven strategy and community organizing on a global scale?
This isn't just about getting re-elected, that's certainly a side benefit, this is about the big enchilada. No more Israel. The United States of the Muslim Brotherhood in the ME. ie the new Caliphate.
No. The problem is a certain segment of “conservative” poster around here simply tune out ALL positive information to cling to their emotion based doom and gloom opinions.
Energetic/Competent
Lazy/Competent
Lazy/Incompetent
Energetic/Incompetent.
The very worst mix in any leader is energetic/incompetent and that is what we have running our Government currently.
A real Commander-in-Chief would have our Flag flying on our Embassy Grounds by now or would have leveled our Property.
We are either there or we’re not!
