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....

OOPS! He was actually standing behind a lecturn. I get the words podium and lecturn confused sometimes.

Really, really stupid. The hurricane was deflecting attention from Benghazi and he just put the focus back where it belongs. Amazingly stupid, really.

Those sentences would make a lot more sense if you replace the word “we” with you.

“...America’s tougher. And you’re tougher because you pull together, you leave nobody behind...”

And you are correct Mr. President - we don’t leave people behind. Which is why you don’t deserve to be our leader.

Check out this FR thread regarding the article by Richard Cohen. Be sure to read the whole linked Cohen article -- down to the last paragraph.

Obama has classified the tapes Top Secret. Some need a chill pill. Now, a well repected Admiral is calling for a full Investigation of Benghazi as is McCain for those who are not up to date.

Those with the blame the Repub please blame yourself as this Pres owns this nation with his political appointments. Some of you fine folks refused to vote for McCain in 2008. I heard your- “we will not support Romney crap, too.” Vote or shut up.Lead, follow or get the hell out of the way. Many are Palin types.

“American is in need… we leave nobody behind”

If Obama truly said those words, I am near speechless.

ANYTHING I might say would be filthy, obscene, racist and likely illegal.


IN MEMORY OF: Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods, both former Navy SEALs, killed alongside U.S. Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens and information management officer Sean Smith.

May God rest your souls.

My post would have made more sense if I had italicized only Obozo’s quote. But, yes, HE doesn’t pull anything together. HE tears things apart.

I cannot even stand to look at this rat’s sniveling little face.

I do not even know what the **** that damn thing even is.

Get out of my sight, Obama.

Yes. Two out of 100 plus is a virtual elephant stampede. I just feel their indignation seeth as they sit SILENTLY and let a couple figureheads do the job for them.

I am deafened by the roar of....nothing.

'WE LEAVE NOBODY BEHIND'...unless of course we're not one-hundred percent sure of what's going on - then you're on your own......

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

You may well be right. A metaphorical jab of the middle finger to those peons who are upset about Benghazi.

Red states, like Kentucky, had to suck it up when they were hit with Tornadoes and high wind damage.

O would not even declare them “disaster areas” so they could get aide and disaster relief.

A totally cold MF, POS.
