Romney to @emilyabc: "I can't imagine saying something like the assassination of ambassadors is a bump in the road."

Background here.

Also, Romney spoke to CBS News' Jan Crawford:

In intv, Romney hits Obama on "bumps in the road," tells me "it’s pretty clear the WH jumped the gun" in casting Libya attack as unplanned.

He might as well have said Dead Americans Are Only Speed Bumps in my vision for a new Middle East.

I guess for Obama, a dead, buggered ambassador and three other dead employees is just a "bump in the road." It is, in fact, an impediment to his re-election because he chose to forego the truth for fear it would have made him look weak and impotent in foreign policy (which he is)....that damned MSM just couldn't leave well enough alone, as could the conservatives, and NOW he's been shown to be an abject liar as well as the limp director of this nation's foreign policy.

Bump in the road was NOT a gaffe..this is how Obama TRULY feels about our country. When Obama doesn’t have his teleprompter telling him what to say he reveals the REAL Obama, the one who hates Jews, the one who hates Capitalism, the one who hates white people, etc etc..this is the REAL Obama, he is NOT incompetent. I could deal with incompetence, it would mean he isn’t doing this on purpose, he just doesn’t know what he’s doing, I’d rather have that than this..Obama knows full well what he is doing, he just didn’t mean for it to slip out last night

Way to go Obozo....you'll win this one just by your sheer Narcissistic persona alone.....

Why didn't he get really graphic and call them" Body Bumps in the Road".....

I'll bet his opinion of the Electorate in this country isn't much better....

I so wish American voters would pay attention to this very important topic. When (if) they finally pull heads out of their collective asses will we hear Ross Perot’s “giant sucking sound?”

He meant that running over the body a dead ambassador is just like a “bump in the road”.

Somewhat like somebody being “under the bus”.

More from Zeke Miller of Buzzfeed at Romney rally in Pueblo, CO:

Romney: “Bumps in the road? We had an ambassador assassinated, we had the muslim brotherhood elected president in Egypt…”

Romney: “These are not bumps in the road, these are human lives."

Translation:

The road to socialism is a bit bumpy at times so it's not unexpected to lose a few eggs. No big deal.

I don’t like the job approval jump in Gallup, but the overall voting numbers are good.

In addition, Ras has the race within one-point today again and is great because the leaners are now moving back toward Romney again after being more tilted toward Obama the past couple days.

We are still in good shape to win as long as the ads and visits to swing states make an impact there, not to mention the debates.

Provided you come up with a reason to vote for you via plans, which is what he is starting to do now and will likely accelerate during the debates, which should be good for us. I think we are in good shape at the end of the day.

Yes. This is how you win. Get the sound bite out there and force them to respond to it. Then it will get some play.
