Romney to @emilyabc: "I can't imagine saying something like the assassination of ambassadors is a bump in the road."

Background here.

Also, Romney spoke to CBS News' Jan Crawford:

In intv, Romney hits Obama on "bumps in the road," tells me "it’s pretty clear the WH jumped the gun" in casting Libya attack as unplanned.

Not just a bump in the road

We don't need no indoctrination.
We don't need no thoughts controlled.
No dark sarcasm from the main stream media.

Main stream media leave THOSE PEOPLE ALONE.

Hey Media ! LEAVE THE PEOPLE ALONE. !

All in all we are not a, bump in the road.

All in all we not just a, bump in the road.

“Mr. President. Did you lie when you promised during your campaign that you would cut the national debt in half in your first term?”

“Mr. President. Were you lying when you said you’d close Gitmo as one of your top priorities during your campaign four years ago?”

“Mr. President. Do you believe, in your heart of hearts of course, that Iran is not pursuing nuclear weapons, that Iran would be responsible with them, that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel?”

Bump One: Ambassador Christopher Stevens Bump Two: Info. Management Officer Sean Smith Bump Three: Ex-Seal Tyrone Woods Bump Four: Ex-Seal Glen Doherty nice to know O-BLAME-O dismisses the lives of these four butchered soles as mere “bumps in the road”, his damn road to hell.

May these brave Americans rest in peace.

The fact that Obama's callous indifference to their fate and his attempt to minimize the seriousness of the situation in the Middle East is now on national display is the only positive to arise from this hideous incident.

Once again, Romney shows leadership on this issue, while Obama attempts to dismiss and obfuscate his administration's responsibility for the ME disaster.

I was at the Pueblo rally today, Mitt sounded fired up.

The press was so predictable: The one place in a 25-minute speech where he verbally stumbled a bit using the word saying “merciful” instead of “at their mercy” became, you guessed it, the soundbite that I first heard on news reports. Romney corrected himself immediately.

Reporters are such dishonest morons. They go out of their way to cover up ridiculous gaffes by Obama, but go hunting for them when a Republican is speaking.

He should keep doing this. Obama is a gaffe machine, and nobody has ever called him on it. Past time.

I think Romney should attack Obama on outlandish statements like this. But I think if the election were held today that Romney would win. The polls are skewed and the news coverage is designed to depress Republican turnout. So what I’m saying is, since the public is just getting to know Mitt Romney, he shouldn’t go overboard attacking Obama. The last thing we need is Obama garnering sympathy from the public. The attacks should come from places other than Romney’s mouth.

Mr President, you claim to be a constitutional scholar, what constitutional power gives you the power to murder 16 year old American citizens in far away places without due process of any kind and absent exigent circumstances?

Every snippet that I see of an interview with BO, he just looks so smug and arrogant and proud of himself. Makes me sick to see people sucking up to this loser.

Those four bumps in the road are the graves of the 4 American consulate staff (Ambassador, computer security and general security) that were killed by Obama and Hillary’s total incompetence and criminal negligence.

RIP

Obama and Clinton, Rest in Hell!

The attacks in Libya were just some bumps in the road. Nothing to worry about.

If McCain was President today and this happened, a picture of the murdered Ambassador and an accompanying article describing the details of his Torture would be prominently displayed above the fold on the front page of the NYT for weeks at a time.

the Obama campaign had 901 people on its payroll last month, and paid them a median salary of $3,074 a month, or $36,886 a year.

The Romney campaign, in contrast, had 403 people on its payroll, and paid them a median salary of $6,437 in August, which would mean $77,250 a year.

see this? Well we can’t have his folks falling into that 47 percent now can we. lol

the REAL Obama, the one who hates Jews, the one who hates Capitalism, the one who hates white people, etc etc..this is the REAL Obama,

You left out the parts where he hates Christians and loves Muslims, especially the kind who step up to be terrorists.

One day, America will realize that our first Muslim President is a terrorist.
