President Obama, during the taping of The Daily Show, discussed the Benghazi terrorist attack that claimed the lives of the U.S. Ambassador to Libya and three other Americans.
“Here’s what I’ll say. When four Americans get killed, it’s not optimal. We’re going to fix it,” Obama said per pool. “The government is a big operation and [at] any given time something screws up,” he also said, saying that he believes “you find out what’s broken and you fix it.”
Obama promised that his administration publicized information about the Benghazi attack as quickly as it came in, which contradicts previous reports.
“Within 24 hours of the 9-11 anniversary attack on the United States consulate in Benghazi, U.S. intelligence agencies had strong indications al Qaeda–affiliated operatives were behind the attack, and had even pinpointed the location of one of those attackers,” according to The Daily Beast’s Eli Lake.
The National Counter Terrorism Center only told Congress that it was a terrorist attack nine days after the assault took place.
Obama let his sociopathic thinking slip from his mask quite by accident. The man is cold as ice.
I don’t think he wants to win. I believe shortly after getting sworn in he realized he was way over his head and decided to ignore the major issues and just go on as many vacations and golf trips on the taxpayer dime as possible. He is just going thru the motions of a campaign. He is not serious.
You may very well be right. I am beginning to wonder myself.
I am wondering if Harry Ried and Nancy Pelosi WANT him to win now. Haven’t heard a lot of cheering him on from either of them really!
I just think if it’s not easy, it’s not worth doing.
Exactly, what on earth is wrong with this guy?
He doesn’t care, I swear he doesn’t.
Makes one wonder if the ‘issue’ for Obama is his own PR and of course; the ‘number’. Would ‘three dead’ be ‘less than ‘ optimal. Two dead; not exactly. . .optimal. One casualty; just this side of optimal? The number dead; and adjective; seem totally ‘White House’ clinical. .
The PO(TU)S has a complete lack of empathy. It’s why he often uses totally inappropriate language.
People... he’s speaking in mathematical terms, you know, arithmetic. It all depends on what his definition of ‘optimal’ is... What is his objective function? Is optimal a maximization of American deaths, or a minimization?
Yeah, just four corpse-men.
This is much worse than anything Akin said. And BTW, there’s new damning audio on Daily Caller that will sink McCowskill. Oh what a night!!!
Well, he had to have another gig after he appeared on The View. ;)
I’ve watched portions of Hannity twice tonight and heard him say he has confirmed with the State Department that there is a long transcription of the entire attack on the Benghazi, Libya Consulate as State Department officials were communicating with them at the time. He also said he understands there is a letter showing that Hillary Clinton requested security for the Consulate. It was a short quick statement with no embellishment. There was not a conversation about any of this. Guests on Hannity (don’t even recall who they were) did not discuss it with him that I recall. I have nothing to back it up, but Hannity did indicate there would be more revealed tomorrow night (Friday October 19th) on his show. I don’t have a transcript, but believe this is what I heard.

I may have been hearing things, but during the last debate O said he was on the phone with someone during the attack? So he admitted he knew what was happening?
/NotOptimal bttt
Especially not during campaign season.
OMG...give us a high five on The View when you think you can talk about your “optimums” and the sanctity of the lives lost....you flippin’ sociopath! We have a double diagnosis here folks. Narsistic, freeaking heartless sociopath!
Here is a list of ways to identify a sociopath. This list is from “Profile of a Sociopath.” Is is a pretty good list of sociopathic indicators.
•Glibness/superficial charm
•Manipulative and cunning
•Grandiose sense of self
•Pathological lying
•Lack of remorse, shame or guilt
•Shallow emotions
•Incapacity for love
•Need for stimulation
•Callousness/lack of empathy
•Poor behavioral controls/impulsive nature
•Early behavior problems/juvenile delinquency
•Irresponsibility/unreliability
•Promiscuous sexual behavior/infidelity
•Lack of realistic life plan/parasitic lifestyle
•Criminal or entrepreneurial versatility
•Contemptuous of those who seek to understand them
•Does not perceive that anything is wrong with them
•Authoritarian
•Secretive
•Paranoid
•Only rarely in difficulty with the law, but seeks out situations where their tyrannical behavior will be tolerated, condoned, or admired
•Conventional appearance
•Goal of enslavement of their victim(s)
•Exercises despotic control over every aspect of the victim’s life
•Has an emotional need to justify their crimes and therefore needs their victim’s affirmation (respect, gratitude and love)
•Ultimate goal is the creation of a willing victim
•Incapable of real human attachment to another
•Unable to feel remorse or guilt
•Narcissism, grandiosity (self-importance not based on achievements)
•May state readily that their goal is to rule the world
That is the most callous thing I have ever heard from a POTUS after US deaths at the hands of terrorists!!! Again cricket sounds from the MSM arena on this one.
This one should put the dagger in his campaign.

They tried. . . but it took 8 years.
I woke up this morning to hear the CIA is leaking. I don’t think that’s what O meant when he said he would fix it. But damn, sure does work for me! Heh heh heh!
