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

Posted on 10/11/2012 1:58:38 PM PDT by maggief

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.

Cutter is just saying what the Obama Administration refuses to say..that they don’t give a hoot about these dead Americans, they are just a “bump in the road.” Probably what Obama thinks about 9/11/01 too, just a bump in the road..wouldn’t want to say anything that insult his muslim brothers..Cutter won’t take it back because she agrees with it, she doesn’t give a damn, not a shock. I knew they didnt care the moment that it happened

Same here... what an unpleasant person.

Maybe she was channeling the real Obama, so he can try to hang on to likability ratings.

They made the choice to have her represent them.

my bad, you are correct it was Tallman. I think Lacy might have owned the plane and that led to my vapor lock.

Exactly right-—remember finding out Obama WENT TO SLEEP after being told what was happening in Libya??

And then there’s the military mom who, per Rush, said she cried on Obama’s shoulder and all he did was stand there looking into space. We are talking pure, soulless evil.

Obama’s loyalty is to his muslim brothers..always has been..so of course he could care less about what happened here..he would rather be ANYWHERE than talk about what happened in Libya..he is a soulless, heartless, bastard

I am of the mind that this was going according to plan, until they killed 'em. I'm thinking that this was supposed to be the "October surprise" where Obamam waves his magic hand, and solves an "unexpected" hostage crisis. Only it failed.

Spot on! Listening to that Cutter rant, I had a mental picture of Mitt as B’rer Rabbit pleading, “Oh, please Miz Stephanie, don’t throw me in that briar patch!”

The only thing you need to know “since the Carter administration”. Multiply that three times and you’ve got Obama’s last four years.

Cutter is DWS with nicer hair and less brains. Can’t stand to listen to her speak.

They need to focus on how many days up to the attack did Zero miss his daily intelligence briefings.
It is Barack Obamas JOB to go to those briefings!!

He did not do his job and people died!
