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.
A lot of people I know and work with get their news from Jon Stewart. It’s appalling, but there it is.
Obama is always trying to be the clever pragmatist, so much so that he doesn’t know when it’s not appropriate. This is how he relates on a personal basis, but people don’t dare challenge it, because he has no sense of humor. He can’t relate in a simple authentic way. Obama would be a said figure if he was still the adjunct college professor, you’d be looking to get the grade and move on.
twitter is exploding with #notoptimal hashtags on tweets, the great majority of them anti-Obama.
Look in the mirror 0bamass!
Wow, just WOW! It’s not OPTIMAL? How about it’s a tragedy Odumbo?
Surely even young liberal dipsh%#s would be taken aback by this. What human being would think this was acceptable?
Excellent cartoon. Sad too
PLEASE make it stop on Nov 6th....
He’s in the city so much my daughter has taken to riding the bus to work. Obnoxious partying at our expense at every level.
19 days till this 4 year nightmare is over. Please God.

From your keyboard to God’s ear!
Sadly I’m afraid that once he realizes he’s lost we will WISH for the old Zero back. I am very afraid that he will use the rest of the time until Jan 20, 2013 to implement his wildest dreams through Executive Order because what else does he have to lose at that point?
It doesn’t even bear thinking about who he may pardon. *shudder*
I was really angry no republicans (that I am aware of) stood up for Michele Bachmann when she brought up Huma’s connection to the Muslim Brotherhood/Sisterhood. Bunch of worthless wimps.
why is this race even close?
Reminds me of the term “acceptable losses.”
Presumably they nodded at the "not optimal" comment, as if it made sense.
Stop it! You'll make the Speaker cry!
. . . or “coulda been worse”
Is Boehner hiding until the election is over?
Wrong.
Five bucks he heads straight to the UN for some position where he can continue to reap the benefits along with free travel with Reggie, MO and her SS man.
Only after he, VJ and Huma use the lame duck session to enact scorched earth EOs.
