OBAMA ON HURRICANE: 'WE LEAVE NOBODY BEHIND'

by JOHN NOLTE 30 Oct 2012, 2:07 PM PDT

Today, during a non-campaign campaign stop at the Red Cross, President Obama told the nation something his administration obviously didn’t believe during the seven-hour attack on our consulate in Benghazi (and a nearby annex) on the night of September 11, 2012: That when an "American is in need… we leave nobody behind":

This is a tough time for a lot of people; millions of folks all across the Eastern Seaboard, but America's tougher. And we're tougher because we pull together, we leave nobody behind, we make sure we respond as a nation and remind ourselves that whenever an American is in need, all of stand together to make sure we're providing the help that's necessary.

You can watch the moment in the video embedded below.

That's a beautiful sentiment, Mr. President, but where was it when the cameras weren't rolling; when your government heard three plaintive pleas for assistance from Americans under attack and with help reportedly close enough to make a difference?

Hurricane Sandy has been a study in Barack Obama's leadership in a time of crisis, and not one that reflects well on the President....

Did a they put that on a telepromopter? If so, that was would be campaign sabotage at its best.

The Obama Doctrine, only covers potential voters from Cape Hatteras to the Grand Banks.

.
Benghazi is outside the non-optimal zone of concern.

I agree, he or his handlers should have noticed the hypocrisy by that choice of words

I disagree. His handlers probably picked that choice of words. He screwed up the Lybia attack, he needed to sound Presidential. Unless the media points out the hypocrisy (little chance that will happen) today's event will help Obama.

It’s OK. Spend less time on Obama’s Diary at Politico44. It’s good for the soul.

I called Mitch McConnell's office today and asked where the "Repub leadership" was on getting answers on Benghazigate, not to let the storm be a distraction from this issue and, by all means, not to let them even mention postponing the election. His staffer asked me if I'd called my own reps. Pathetic.

Mr. Obama, you are a lying rat murderous treasonous bastard, and we are going to leave you behind just like you left our heroes behind.

I will be shocked & amazed if Obama & Co. are lauded for their great job with Sandy Recovery.

Obama has done nothing of substance during his Presidency, & he's not likely to change now. Federal disaster relief has historically been slow, clumsy, & bureaucratic. This wont change under Obama. His agenda has never included actually helping people.

What I expect out of Obama is just what we've been getting from him for 4 years - cheap talk & empty promises.

It's just too bad the storm didn't happen a month ago, giving the storm victims plenty of time before the election to realize what an empty suit really is. As it is but one week to the election, it is probably not enough time to convince anyone of his incompetence, but they will know sure enough a month or so from now.

Epitome of Arrogance. Sheer idiocy. The man is a complete fool.

He shouldn’t have been elected to the Presidency, and he certainly shouldn’t have come this far without being impeached, and removed from office regardless of Ol’ Joe.

Probably. The whole thing was staged, he was standing behind a podium.

It was definitely scripted, there was nothing he said that sounded sincere.

Here's a link to video...

Next time say...
“Well since McC’s campaign took money from outside his own district during his campaigning and his MISleadership has a direct effect on me here, I didn’t see a problem calling from another district.b Do YOU????”

And record the stuttering that will follow.

I still always can just not get over educated, intelligent people of all economic groups that do not see who Obama really is.I understand that Blacks vote based on race...but the rest?

I really just don’t get it..unless they just close their ears and eyes or /and they are so ideological they literraly are Jim Jones followers. I now better can see how the Jim Jones followers went to their deaths..not kidding.

How much do you want to bet he doesn’t even see the irony of that statement. He lives in his own little bubble, with a different reality than the rest of the universe. In his version he is a god who can do no wrong.

I think he knows and I think he does it to mock those of us who know who and what he is and want nothing more than to be rid of him. Notice how he is always showing off his 3rd finger; same mentality.

And we're tougher because we pull together, we leave nobody behind, we make sure we respond as a nation and remind ourselves that whenever an American is in need, all of stand together to make sure we're providing the help that's necessary. That is, unless you are the American Ambassador to Libya and special forces security forces. Then Obozo not only will leave you behind, but will thrice order a stand-down to send in rescue forces. Obozo is a schmuck!
