is this boy stupid?

how long has this video been out, and when did this violence start?

looks like the 11th anniversary of 9/11.

if you are too stupid to draw an intelligent conclusion, then you are too stupid to be in control of anything but a toy boat in a bathtub, with mama’s help of course.

Blessings, Bobo

Just another segment of amatuer hour at the white hut. And Obama keeps pretending like nothing happened, and nothing IS happening. I guess he thinks that if he hides from questions and just keeps on trucking as usual, it will just go away. LOL! Carney only further demonstrates the obviousness of this administration not having ANY IDEA what it's doing.

Just deny, deny, deny, then say something bad about Romney, then deny, deny, deny.

Look, they love us. They love being ‘freed’ by Hillary. They’re just doing this to celebrate their love for the United States. And if that’s NOT happening, then it’s Bush’s fault...

FROM TODAYS PRESSER...........................Q: Intelligence at all suggesting that there would be an attack?

Carney: “There was no intelligence that in any way that could have been acted on in any way to prevent these attacks.”

More: “The report is false.”

Q: Why was there not adequate security around Ambassador Stevens?

Refers to the State Department on specific security arrangements.

Q: Extra security on 9/11?

Carney: “We are very vigilant on anniversaries like 9/11. … But let’s be clear, these protests were in reaction to a video that had spread to the region.”

More: “We don’t know otherwise. We have no information to suggest that it was a pre-planned attack. The unrest we’ve seen around the region has been in reaction to a video that many Muslims find offensive. And while the violence is reprehensible and unjustified, it is not a reaction to the 9/11 anniversary.”

Q: You think it was spontaneous protest?

Carney: “This is obviously under investigation.”

Q: You’re operating under the assumption the protest was in reaction to the video?

Carney: “This is under investigation. The unrest around the region has been in response to this video.”

Carney says Libya was a “very new government” that had just come out of a revolution.

Q: Failure of 9/11 was a failure of imagination. Is this a failure? Did POTUS mess up?

Carney: “Jake, again, what we have seen is unrest around the region in response to a video that Muslims offensive, many Muslims. … We have seen incidents like this in the past, in reaction to other actions — cartoons and other actions that have been taken that have been, that have led to protests and violence in the region. We have managed those situations and we are working to ensure that our diplomatic personnel and our diplomatic facilities are secure as we deal with the response to this video, which we believe is offensive and disgusting.”

Q: It’s no longer just about the film?

Carney: “The reason why there’s unrest is because of the film. I don’t doubt…”

More; “We obviously are not polling protesters to find out what their motivations are. There is no question that there is anti-American sentiment in various countries around the middle east.”

Hey, it has always worked for him in the past. He has never been held to account for anything, ever.

They are chanting Death to America and burning the US Flag and he wants to say they are NOT mad at the US? We have universities being evacuated here in the US due to bomb threats from AQ and he wants to say this with a straight face? Unbelievable.

Oh boy. Obama is going to be speaking within the hour. Damage control after all the bad press he has been getting with the constant visuals of the middle east burning and out of control.

Q: Do you think that if the POTUS was interested in protecting Americans and the constitutional right of free speech, he would declare these invasions of American soil and cold blooded murder as an act of war? A: Had Romney been more supportive of Chairman Obamakov, this would never had happened. This is why matters of foreign diplomacy should be left in the hands of the Won.

That is why they were chanting “Were all Osamas, Obama or something of that nature.......

It was something like:

Obama, Obama ... We are a million OSAMAS !!!

At least that is what was reported on FNC ...

Carney said the protests are about the film about 20 times. But if it’s “still under investigation”, how can they know for sure the protests are about the film? Total BS.

Tapper almost nailed Carney on the no intelligence lie. Carney realized he was caught and he punted to DNI rather than answer the question.

It must suck to be Carney and have to tell these whoppers every day.

It suits Obama's purposes to have a pathological liar (like Obama himself) in that position.

It was no accident that Carney got that job.

Carney = amateur Joseph Goebbels
We The People aren’t buying it.

Carney is less like Goebbels; Dr. Josef was a master at propaganda, where Carney is just a newsreader.

Carney is more like Eugen Hadamovsky, the national programming director for German radio and chief of staff in the Nazi Party's Central Propaganda Office.

Whereas, Valerie Jarrett is most like Martin Bormann. And Eric Holder is parallel to Ernst Rohm.

I know it has, and it royally pisses me off! And it's because he essentially has every journalist and news organization in the country protecting him from any real scrutiny, or real questions.

Somebody needs to tell CNN since I just saw a headline on there that said “The Arab World Rails Against the US.”

I thought Obama said the Middle East would love us once he was president.

Even the msm has trouble buying a story that terrorist attacks on 9/11 was just a coincidence. I’ll bet the admin would not even call the attack in libya a terrorist attack

1. Does the administration consider the libyan attack on 9/11 to be a terrorist attack?

2. Did president obama cancel an intelligence briefing the day after the 9/11 terrorist attacks to attend campaign rallies in las vegas and colorado?

Romney has so much material to use to bash this Administration with, he’d better use it.
