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.”

I don’t particularly care for this part of his comment “in a lot of these places— the one organizing principle— has been Islam.”

Creepy ba$tard!

Bumps in the road before Obama drives us off the cliff.

“...Guess what bammy, in a few years your whole occupation of the White House and all your failed policies will be looked at as a mere bump in the road...”
The entire bammy occupation is nothing but a fudge stain on the undershorts of America. Unfortunately, such stains never wash out. But remain as a reminder how dirty “crap” really is.

[liberalh8ter]

The sodomy and murder of an unprotected US diplomat is a bump in the road. I don’t know what to say to that..

As much as Obama tosses carcasses under his bus, I find his 'bump in the road' analogy, interesting. Depending on what you believe Obama's true motives are, Ambassador Stevens may have been a 'bump in the road' for Obama and his Muslim Brotherhood friends.

No real American President would ever make such a vacuous, ruthless statement.

[M Kehoe]

The "Bump in the Road" metaphor is appropriate for the guy who is a skid mark on the underwear of America.

Now where is the little guy in the "That's racist" gif.?

But you see, it’s ok because a blonde haired, blue eyed devil (as taught by Jeremiah Wright) got savagely tortured and murdered. Now had the ambassador looked like one of “Obama’s sons” then it would be a different story! In Obummer’s world, some brown people justifiably had an uprising and killed whitey. Nothing to see here. /s

-

- iPhone5 - 5 Million Sold
- (less than expected???)

but SOLD OUT until October?

- Estimates has been as high as 10 Million iPhone5s per IMUS at FFC just now

- Rumors of APPLE going to $800 - $1000

- (when? see APPLE history graphs)
-

http://investor.apple.com/?$700.10—Sept_21_4:15pm-ET_2012

- $700.10 Closing - FRI September 21

-

- $685 (about) Bid/Ask

-

- I expect Rush Limbaugh to rave about the new iPhone5 today - Rush is APPLE’s biggest free booster

]- I am waiting for Stuart Varney on Fox Financial Channel to cover the drop in APPLE stock prices -

Here it is:

$684.78 Opening MONDAY Sept 24

- For not hitting 10 Million in iPhone5 sales so far?

- Suggestions that APPLE only released 5 Million iPhone5’s to create long iPhone5 buyer lines for the TV news -

- The APPLE/Foxtone factory in China is CLOSED - Army is there guarding the factory - workers seen outside on TV today - not causing the drop in APPLE stock per FFC:

- 2.13%
\/ 14.40
$684.78
-

I don’t know beans about this -

- But APPLE has been a SOLID profitable company over the years

Rassmussen Polling (based on 2004)
Obama is up 1% (of LIKELY VOTERS)

Weighted/Polled (based on 2004):

39% Democrat (oversampled 3%)
36% Republican

-

Other Polls (of REGISTERED VOTERS)
(by pollsters/media)
Obama is up 2%

According to Pollsters In 1980 - Jimmy Carter was up 10% over Ronald Reagan just 2 weeks before the Reagan landslide

Remember 2000 Gore won Popular Vote - lost the Electoral College Vote - The media had announced NW Florida vote projections early - well before the rest of the US had even finished voting - and Al Gore promptly then withdrew his - in 2000 over 25,000 in Florida illegally voted - and were counted! - SCOTUS decided GW Bush won in Florida by just a few hundred votes -

But you all know how that turned out!

- Remember 2004 - Kerry was projected by the media to have won Ohio - based on “exit polls” taken by the media - “PUSH POLLS” I call them

But you all know how that turned out!

- Obamacare was passed by just one (1) vote - because a former Saturday Night Live commodian - confessed “Cokehead Al” had several extra recounts - now proven to have included over 5000 illegal votes that were counted  
-

Watch: Massachussetts in the Senate:

(R-MA) Scott Brown against the “affirmitive action” “Cherokee Princess” (D-MA) Elizabeth “High-Checkbones” Warren (she still refuses to meet with American Indians to explain and justify how and why she “checked the box” at Harvard and even before that to gain an AA advantage)
.

So what’s the status on that guy (video’s producer/director/something)? Out of jail yet?

[stephenjohnbanker]

” No wonder he could go to sleep during the mortaring of our embassy and attend a gala fundraiser in Vegas the following day. “

I doubt sociopaths have much trouble sleeping. It is hard to believe that our POTUS is 100% PURE EVIL,but he is.

[left that other site]

In Jamaica, speed bumps are called “Sleeping Policemen”.

I guess in obamaland, bumps in the road are called “Dead Diplomats”.

[cardinal4]

No indeed. Since the Dems have taken over, we have passed from the absurd to the surreal..

[Leep]

0bama is a cancerous bump on the ass of society!

"A Bump in the Road" - 0bama

[kidd]

Obama just threw Libyan Ambassador Chris Stevens under the bus.

Then he drove over him.

Is that what he meant by a bump in the road?

[Typical_Whitey]

Obama’s foreign policy “bumps in the road”, created “shovel Ready” jobs here at home.

[tbw2]

Thanks. That’s one of the better Romney ads.
