Obama Record: Four Americans are killed in Libya, our consulate burned and our Egyptian embassy stormed on the anniversary of 9/11 after we apologize for a film allegedly "insulting to Islam." Arab Spring, Mr. President?
Maybe President Obama shouldn't have skipped all those national intelligence briefings. The burning of our Libyan consulate in Benghazi, the murder of Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three others, including two U.S. Marines, and the storming of our embassy in Egypt after our diplomats apologized for a film made in the U.S. should show just who is the foreign policy novice in the 2012 presidential campaign. The Obama administration is attempting to walk back the damage done by an apology issued by the U.S. Embassy in Cairo for a 14-minute trailer for a film called "The Innocence of Muslims" posted on YouTube, part of a two-hour, little-seen film produced by Sam Bacile, a 52-year-old California real estate developer who identifies himself as an Israeli Jew. As the late, great Andrew Breitbart famously said in a tweet to someone who demanded he apologize for this or that, "Apologize for what? Should we apologize for the exercise of free speech in a democracy?" Yet that is what the U.S. Embassy in Cairo did. "The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions," the statement read in part. It went on to say that the U.S. "firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others." Our weakness once again invited terror.

Will Obama call for the censor of his own I killed bin Laden movie?
Life was so important to the founders of our great nation that they specifically mentioned it as an “unalienable right”. Life is mysterious, wonderful and sacred. It is a leader’s responsibility to protect the lives of those who work for him/her. Hillary Clinton failed to show the necessary responsibility for the lives of the people who worked for her. Her incompetence and irresponsibility resulted in the deaths of four Americans. Her behavior must be corrected. There are many people in government who have responsibility for the lives of the people who work for them. How would they view the failure to correct Hillary Clinton? Would it increase or decrease the care and concern they would have for the people who work under them? This isn’t an instance where she was late to work or didn’t submit a report on time. This was incompetence that resulted in Americans needlessly dying. The proper correction in this instance is for Hillary Clinton to be immediately dismissed from her position as Secretary of State. This is not only to protect other Americans, but also to protect her. If her incompetence continued in her present position, and additional American lives were needlessly lost, how would this affect her psyche? No, she must be dismissed for the nation’s sake and for her sake.
