Proper response from an American President would have been, “ Listen Jon, I don’t think the murder of a US Ambassador is something to joke about.”

What he meant to say was: If (only) four Americans get killed ... 40 or 400 or 4,000 or 4,000,000 would obviously be more ‘Optimal’ ...

I guess words like tragic, horrific etc are not in Barry’s vocabulary.

Oh they are, but used only when referring to schools not giving the morning after pills and abortions 12 year olds without parental consent..

Transcript anyone? Where’s Candy when you need her?

This just in. Candy has verified that obama DID say, "If four Americans get killed, it's not OPTIMAL."

Thank you Candy!

I don’t think we’ll influence Mittens at all, once he wins, assuming he wins. His elite friends will banish every nasty conservative tea-partay type from beyond his influence range. He’ll do amnesty, an AWB (if he can), etc. He’ll be better than Obama in some ways, but in some ways worse, because he’ll be effective at building coalitions with “moderates” in both parties, where Obama just went nowhere other than Obamacare.

You could very well be right. He is surrounded by some of the worst RINO bastards to ever prance across a lawn in bunny slippers.

Nonetheless, who are we, if we do not try?

We must.

As an observation, meme-generation and meme-propagation works just as well in friendly (well, friendliER) administrations.

Get the minds, we got their ass.

Romney will sign what the Republican congress sends him.

The conservative congressional coalition must continue to advance the agenda forcefully.

Absolutely. We need to ensure that nothing whacky makes it out of an R Congress.

‘optimal’ means: best possible compromise solution to a problem, when there are several competing considerations, not all of which can be simulataneously maximized.

Does that mean that if 100 Americans were killed that WOULD be optimal? Or do I just not understand?

We’ll all do our best, but my fear is that Mitt will be surrounded and insulated by a phalanx of GOPe Karl Rove types.

It will go down the memory hole with "57 states" and all of the other Obama gaffes.

That is correct: Stewart said it first and Obama stupidly parroted it back. I saw the clip on Fox and Friends this morning.

I went to Comedy Central and tried to watch it but I just didn’t have the heart. I’m too weak.

I only got as far as Barry and Jon having a contest to see who would sit down last.

I don’t get that handsome thing either, now Romney is a handsome man and these same people think he is ugly, I always thought Bush was handsome too.

Take it away! I just did that in 2 seconds. Probably would make a cool bumper sticker if the letters were bigger. Let me know where you put it, I’ll be curious to see it in action..!!
