This may be the first time in history that a President of the United States has called a terrorist attack against the country a "bump in the road." (September 23, 2012).

Transcript via The Weekly Standard:

CBS's Steve Kroft asked, “Have the events that took place in the Middle East, the recent events in the Middle East given you any pause about your support for the governments that have come to power following the Arab Spring?”

President Obama answered, “Well, I'd said even at the time that this is going to be a rocky path. The question presumes that somehow we could have stopped this wave of change. I think it was absolutely the right thing for us to do to align ourselves with democracy, universal rights-- a notion that-- people have- to be able to-- participate-- in-- their own governance. But I was pretty certain and continue to be pretty certain that there are going to be bumps in the road because-- you know, in a lot of these places-- the one organizing principle-- has been Islam. The one part of society that hasn't been controlled completely by the government. There are strains of extremism, and anti-Americanism, and anti-Western sentiment. And you know can be tapped into by demagogues. There will probably be some times where we bump up against some of these countries and have strong disagreements, but I do think that over the long term, we are more likely to get a Middle East and North Africa that is more peaceful, more prosperous and more aligned with our interests.”

Yet he promised to use force to protect our interests.

...along with sternly worded letters from Shillary.

I feel certain the families of those four murdered Americans feel that the three+ years of B.Hussein Obama is a rut in the road that have truly harmed their families lives...

I would hope they speak publicly about their bump in the road they are feeling about now..

I weep for all of them and for our Country I once knew..never have I hated a president as much as I do the current one...

Please AMERICAN VOTERS help our nation to heal and recover and vote this fool OUT..

[mkjessup]

there are going to be bumps in the road because
Our sodomized and murdered Amabassador, the murder of 2 former Navy Seals, the murder of another American, American embassies besieged, the White House cover up and lies, the release of secret documents pointing to the attacks being an inside job, the lack of security to protect the life of our Ambassador and his staff, the willful and intentional refusal to heed warnings from Libya and repeated attempts of Netanyahu's calls days before the atrocity are all just 'bumps in the road' to the Marxist Obama.
No wonder he could go to sleep during the mortaring of our embassy and attend a gala fundraiser in Vegas the following day.
What an utterly evil and disgraceful pig.

And there are those right here within our ranks on FR, who would by default, prefer to see America destroyed by that vile pig in the White House, than to vote for Romney & Ryan on November 6th because Romney "isn't conservative enough".

Mr. Obama, why don’t you tell that to the widow of the Navy seal that was killed in Libya?

Yes, indeed. And if Obama's re-elected, my innocent grandchild will have them and their ilk to thank for the trashed country they'll inherit.

Bump in the Road (Romney ad from the primary)

Obama likes that phrase.

[spokeshave]

The “bumps in the road” are dead American bodies.

When only a Presidential "Face Palm" will suffice.

[American Constitutionalist]

Here is a picture of Muslim rioters in Greece.

On a FOXNEWS website under the caption, here is what it says ( Sun. 23, 2012: A man wears a shirt bearing the name of an American newspaper, as Muslim protest against a film produced in the U.S. that they say insults the Prophet Muhammad, in Athens. (AP) ) .... well, well, well, things that make you go ... Hmmmm ???

[Eleutheria5]

A few shovel-ready projects, and we’ll pave it over with bull@#$.

[rod1]

Wow I never thought I would hear attacks on US property and the murder of our ambassadors being called “bumps in the road.” That really is unbelivable.

[Never on my watch]

Please excuse the large image, I should have made sure the pixel coding was in the post. However, I am REALLY livid about this idiot in the White House so the graphic size might be appropriate.

[Lazamataz]

THIS ASSWIPE SAID THE DEATH OF AMERICANS ARE A BUMP IN THE ROAD.

IF WE HAD A REAL MEDIA, THE PHRASE WOULD BE THE LEAD STORY FROM NOW UNTIL THE ELECTION.

UN-F*****-REAL.

[TADSLOS]

Bumps in the road....to where?
