As Ed already recounted, President Obama’s 60 Minutes interview that aired last night is causing a wee bit of headache for the White House — his comments about four American deaths in Libya being a “bump in the road” and about Israel’s concerns over Iran being just “noise,” as you might imagine, haven’t been playing over too well. The Romney campaign quickly seized on the remarks as insensitive and inappropriate, via WaPo:
“His indication that developments in the Middle East represent bumps in the road is a very different view than I have,” the Republican candidate told ABC News. “I can’t imagine saying something like the assassination of ambassadors is a bump in the road.”
**snip**
Of course people are going to grasp at phrases to find a political advantage — we’re in the middle of a neck-and-neck presidential election cycle, and besides, I’m sure Team Obama wouldn’t know anything about grasping at their opponents’ words to try and garner political advantage, would they? But words are also powerful things, and if I were on the president’s PR team, I would really recommend that he look for a different description for violence in the Middle East; not only does it make these things sound more trivial, but I can’t help thinking that what he really means is that these “bumps” are roughening the road toward his reelection more than any other ostensible goal.

These bastards are shameless and EVIL...let’s flush this black turd and his diarrhea team down the toilet come Nov. 6!
The only place I’d like to see Carney’s face is plastered on the side of a urinal cake or decorating a urinal splash guard!
Disgusting worms!
“offensive” is the new code word for “racist”. LOL, and the Dems accuse Repubs of using code words.
I HOPE HE HAMMERS THIS THEME MORE!
This administration and their minions are despicable......
Oh **** you carney... and that whore that hatched you too!
LLS
If they aired those damaging words, imagine what else O said in the interview that they swept under the rug. Or maybe it’s a poke in the eye-U Can’t Touch This-that Barry can make outrageous statements and get away with it.
Obama GO AWAY.. 4 American lives are worth more then your campaign will ever be...
Tanks.
The media hacks piss me off but they will never discourage me from voting.
That includes the other offices as well.
Those four caskets don’t look like bumps to me.
What Obama said and how he said it was very offensive
Yep.
Deflection, Distraction, Demagogue
Any Obama misstep or gaffe will be totally ignored, to deflect attention they will accuse the GOP/Romney of saying something offensive or controversial. They will say the GOP/Romney is taking the focus off the real issues. They will say that only Obama can handle these things and the GOP/Romney should stop stopping him from getting things done.
This ginned up scheme is what I call a CONTRA-VERSY
I have not seen anyone add the obligatory, “That’s Racist!” flag or “You’re just saying that because he is black.”
I guess it would still be a speed bump if someone came into the white hut and did the same as was done to the United States Embassy and Ambassador of the United States? The Embassy carries the same connotations as any other United States Sovereign Soil of course.
He has done nothing but piss on the graves of the victims of Benghazi since they were killed. He has no more respect or care for members of his staff than he would for a bug. Oh wait, a bug is part of nature and must be protected by obastard. I am corrected, he has less respect for the victims of Benghazi than he would for a bug.
Nothing but a jackass.
you’all need to give carney a break. how can you defend the undefensible without looking like and idiot?
of course, only an idiot would defend the undefensible.
Nevermind.
blessings, bobo
He forgot “extremist”.
Obama’s remarks about bumps were offensive and reflected a lack of care for the loss of American lives.
How many bumps can the bus take before the wheels come off?
President Empty Chair throws the US Embassy under the bus and considers the staff merely a speed bump.
