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.
Government version of “S(*# happens!” should be a non-starter with 80% of the citizenry. That slogan holds the tenor of a hippie community, as if things like the killings could not have been anticipated or prevented.
It’s Barry’s trademark dithering and voting “present,” leading from behind, when such is only rightfully seen as being cowardly. He’s trying to free himself from blame, but it simply has no merit.

Nevermind, you wouldn't mean it anyway, even if you said it.
He muttered the rest under his breath. What he meant to say is:
“Here’s what I’ll say. When four Americans get killed, it’s not optimal... for me to be blamed."
People died, others cried, and Obama lies.
I made a million dollars day trading yesterday but it wasn’t optimal. If only I placed my trades 1 minute sooner....
This guy won’t address the American people, or a serious press, but he will go to a comedy show with stuff like this. There is something really wrong with this guy. I hope Mitt Romney takes him out once and for all at the national security debate next week, and I hope Mitt Romney does not let him hide behind the moderator no matter what it takes.

#notoptimal trending on twitter and it isn’t pretty. This amateur is being sent to retirement in Hawaii in a couple weeks.
So you fix it by going to Vegas the next day instead of calling an all hands security meeting.
Someone should ask him “what is the optimal number of Americans to be killed? 10?, 100?, 10,000?”
Yes, stuff happens, because it`s “allah`s” will.
Good. It is starting to bother me a lot that this guy is still going to be President until January 20 even in best case. I really hope he pretty much disappears for all practical purposes on November 7.
How do you fix “dead”? Four Americans were brutally slaughtered. Unless Obama is claiming he intends to raise the dead, just as he promised to raise the ocean levels.....?
But we are all waiting on that one too.
Meanwhile, this man is given a pass by his party and the MSM for describing the murder of Americans as “not optimal” while Romney is being attacked and mocked for the use of the word “binders”.
Curiously enough, that is also Al Queda's position.
“Here’s what I’ll say. When four Americans get killed, it’s not optimal.”
Nothing gets past you, dipstick.
No, it's not a joke.
You have to realize that a significant portion of young adults get ALL of their news from the Daily Show. And no, I'm not kidding.
You can guess how most of those people vote. And that's why Obama was there: shoring up his base. He's trying to staunch the bleeding.
“Here’s what I’ll say. When four Americans get killed, it’s not optimal.”
Obama is a total POS.
And what is the “ optimal “ about anyone’s death.
Should anyone be surprised? Listen to how then State Senator Obama spoke about babies born alive during a botched abortion.
Oh well, hey Barry, you can’t fix dead, no matter how hard you try. Especially when it’s your own damn fault, not that you cared, because you went off to Vegas for a fundraiser.
meh...............
