Obama: ‘When four Americans get killed, it’s not optimal’
Examiner ^ | 10/18/12 | Staff

Posted on 10/18/2012 2:39:55 PM PDT by library user

President Obama, during the taping of The Daily Show, discussed the Benghazi terrorist attack that claimed the lives of the U.S. Ambassador to Libya and three other Americans.

“Here’s what I’ll say. When four Americans get killed, it’s not optimal. We’re going to fix it,” Obama said per pool. “The government is a big operation and [at] any given time something screws up,” he also said, saying that he believes “you find out what’s broken and you fix it.”

Obama promised that his administration publicized information about the Benghazi attack as quickly as it came in, which contradicts previous reports.

“Within 24 hours of the 9-11 anniversary attack on the United States consulate in Benghazi, U.S. intelligence agencies had strong indications al Qaeda–affiliated operatives were behind the attack, and had even pinpointed the location of one of those attackers,” according to The Daily Beast’s Eli Lake.

The National Counter Terrorism Center only told Congress that it was a terrorist attack nine days after the assault took place.

“Here’s what I’ll say. When four Americans get killed, it’s not optimal."

Obama is a total POS.

Is this a joke?

The President of the United States was a guest on The Daily Show!?

Please tell me this is a gag.

Name one thing you’ve fixed, a-hole.

Actually, name one thing you haven’t made worse.

That’s why we believe in small government so that it doesn’t screw up and allow terrorists to kill our Ambassadors. But noooo you just had to throw all the money at Big Bird and Solyndra.

Highly annoying. But then, stuff happens, don't you know.

Hey you POS, how about the next time, you try something like this:
"Here's what I'll say. When four Americans get killed, it's NOT ACCEPTABLE!!"

Nevermind, you wouldn't mean it anyway, even if you said it.

Bumps in the road, not optimal....

We are talking about the terrorist murder of American citizens here, really Obama is this cold and detached?

Where is the outrage, that is what’s missing...

Campaign commercial....

WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE?

Americans die in terror attack, the president is more worried how this makes his foreign policy look, instead of being outraged at the perps....

Nope, it’s not optimal, just some bumps in the road, that’s all. But the show must go on! Baby needs a new pair of shoes (her $500 sneakers are old). The the JacazzyO needs a luxurious vacation, too.

My steak lunch wasn’t optimal. Yes, it was perfectly cooked but it was missing sauteed onions and mushrooms. That would’ve been nice.
