Mitt Romney: President Obama deserves credit for Libya
Politico44 ^ | 10/20/11 | ALEXANDER BURNS

Mitt Romney told reporters in Iowa Thursday that President Barack Obama deserves credit for the downfall of Muammar Qadhafi. Continue Reading

Exiting a campaign stop in Council Bluffs, Romney answered a shouted question about whether Obama deserves some credit for the outcome in Libya.

"Yes, yes, absolutely," Romney said, as he darted out a back door.

Earlier in the day, Romney's campaign said it was the Libyan rebels, more than the Obama administration, that deserved praise for ousting the dictator.

And Rick Perry deserves credit for making Romney nearly cry in the last debate. I bet he did pee his pants a little.

I feel so alone these days. I have been saying for the past two years now, that there is an absolute certainty that Romney will be the 2012 pick. I know it like I know that there will be gravity on this planet tomorrow. The facts are very clear, to anyone who has lived through the last 50 years of black reparations in this country. There hasn’t been a single instance where a white man has said no, to a black man. In all areas of politics, job promotion, welfare, test scores, affirmative action. You name it, the blacks have taken it, ask demanded more. The republican party have become collaborators to the communists, in hoping that there will be a few scraps left on the table for them. Or, more simply put, in hoping the communists don’t out right kill them. The republicans are scared more this election cycle, than last time. They will do anything.. I mean anything to lose this election! Who do you think they will put in there as their candidate? Someone who might actually beat Obama? Does anyone think the will risk riots, with trillions in claims inflicted to their insurance company cronies? Oh, and let’s not forget the expulsion from Hollywood, with all the sex, food and drugs forever forbidden to them. So, what do you do to lose to the Kenyan, without coming out and saying that you out and out forfeit the game? Why, you put the second Prince of the collaborators in there to make a good show of it! The first Prince being of course McCain! I say simply this: There is no chance that the Kenyan will not get another term. Because Herman Cain is the only hope for this country, and both parties will see to it that he is properly disposed of politically. I will never vote for a collaborator, and either will the majority of conservatives, and the majority of all the fine people here on Freerepublic.

What outcome? Who’s to say that the next leader won’t be worse? It would have been better to say that 0bama does bear some responsiblity for whatever happens to Libya.

Evidently, ALL the FReepers who have responded so far know more than the two retired Army officers (with very specific channels and information) who advise Fox News and Bill O’Reilly. Last night they expressed the thought that Obama deserved some credit for the conclusion (Quadaffi’s death). They disagreed with some of the aspects of that operation, but felt, on balance, that it was the proper course for Obama to decide upon.

To me, to be so blinded by unwillingness to see anything other than what one wants to see is to ensure self-deception, wrong actions, and absolutely undesirable outcomes.

And, surely, those people who may be/are yet to be persuaded to vote for the eventual Republican candidate (without which we will not win in Nov 2012) see this kind of reflexive acrimony and shake their heads at the mindlessness.

I mean, even Hitler caused the creation of the Volkswagen, and Mussolini made the trains run on time (no small trick in Italy, then).

So, can we not maybe take a breath, think a little, and speak truth so that our words are not totally ignored, or worse, ridiculed. And acted upon—in the opposite.

My thoughts, anyway.

Pols are all members of the same fraternal organization.

Therein lies the problem. They are not enemies. They are collaborators

Absolutely, Myth! 0baMugabe shall forever own the Libyan Misadventure.

Now you own a little bit of it too and every time one of those 20,000 Manpads is used to down an airliner or helicopter we will remind you both of that.

President Obama deserves credit for Libya ,P>Well, I don't know about "credit", exactly - but "Libya", and all the consequences sure to flow from it, do belong to Obama, without a doubt.
