Did Stephanie Cutter Just Win The Foreign Policy Debate For Romney?
Mediaite ^ | October 11, 2012 | Noah Rothman

In case you haven’t seen the video, watch it. Drink it in. Obama campaign Deputy Communications Director Stephanie Cutter, in a craven and flailing attempt to salvage the White House’s ebbing credibility surrounding their response to the 9/11/12 attacks in Libya, said that it was her estimation that the attacks were only an issue because Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan made it one.

In effect, Cutter said that this attack, one of the most comprehensive and successful Al Qaeda attacks on American assets since September 11, 20001 in which an American ambassador overseas was killed for the first time since the Carter administration, was only on the media’s radar because it is an election year. Stephanie Cutter has just provided Mitt Romney a stronger argument against President Barack Obama’s handling of foreign affairs he could have hoped for. In a single bound, Cutter revealed the administration’s thinking about how to respond to this deadly attack – it is not about American security, it is about politics. Fair or not, that is how Romney will frame Cutter’s glib remark.

"...in which an American ambassador overseas was killed for the first time since the Carter administration"

Up until now Carter still had that going in his favor for the title of "Worst.President.Ever"

I do need a shave, though. LOL.

I heard a rumor that she also said that it was her estimation that the economy was only an issue because Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan made it one.

One of the Obama scandals buried by their media toadies long ago was the story of how much less female employees are paid compared to the men.

I guess you get what you pay for.

In the political Super Bowl of 2012, Obama just fumbled on the one yard line. Romney has recovered and there’s less than 30 seconds to play. Take a knee.

Don’t you remember the first debate Barack Obama said we are all better off than 4 years ago because of his tax cuts that allows us to buy a car or a computer....

I’m betting the questions will be carefully crafted to avoid giving Ryan an opportunity to discuss those attacks.

Questions don't matter - any debater worth his salt can find a way to make a connection to any issues they want to address. I'm sure Ryan will have no problem bringing this up, regardless of what questions are asked.

Stephanie Cutter is a silly woman who has “whored” herself out for the Obama Administration. She is worthy of only ridicule. Steph, honey, Obama won’t even remember your sorry a$$ once the party is over.

Full Blown Tangled Web now, they wove it themselves and now in the process of entraping themselves in it, it don’t get any better than this, just in time for halloween too.


Reminds me of the movie “Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World”, where the bumbling Col. Wilberforce (Paul Ford) at the aiport eventually wraps himself up in the microphone cable as he is directing Ding (Mickey Rooney) and Benji (Buddy Hackett) how to land the airplane, whose regular pilot, Tyler Fitzgerald (Jim Backus), is knocked out.
