Twitter Explodes - Criticism of Obama After He Called Four Dead Americans in Benghazi ‘Not Optimal'
The Blaze ^ | 10/18/12 | Jason Howerton

Posted on 10/18/2012 5:26:54 PM PDT by Nachum

Almost immediately after pool reports indicated that President Barack Obama called the deaths of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans in Benghazi “not optimal” during the taping of “The Daily Show,” social media exploded with outrage over the president’s remarks.

The backlash was almost instantaneous — and it was brutal. The clumsy phrase from Obama gave birth to the #NotOptimal hashtag on Twitter, which was trending nationwide as of 7:30 p.m. ET.

Thank you, Tweeters everywhere, for going off on this guy. Not optimal?? Knowing him, he was probably laughing when he said it, right?

He needs to be held accountable. It is inexcusable that they try to mock Romney for leaving out the obvious word “resumes” when he gets away with this bull feces. He has said 100 things worse, especially “corpseman,” and the press doesn’t touch it. He repeated corpseman each time it came on his prompter that speech.

Obama’s “not optimal” comment is exactly what one would expect to come out of the mouth of a narcissistic sociopath.

How is that different from “a bump in the road?”

A major chunk of our intelligence - and large groups over at State got to listen in while these men were slaughtered in Benghazi ... I'd like to know why the New York Times isn't looking into this - and I'd like to know who in the administration is into Snuff films... Someone got off on this...

Psst,

His use of the word “corPSman” was deliberate. He is a commie pig kenyan, high school Harry bast**d(in the truest sense of the word), schooled in the art of the “cut up.”

He KNEW what he was doing, by mispronouncing the word, he was deliberately disrespecting every Navy Corpsman that ever served.

He’s an Alynskyite, commie pig POS. What more do you need to know?

BeeHOe’s number one question he asks himself before he says anything: “What would Stalin do?”

Romney might just hit out of the park the longest homerun ever in political history.

He could ask for the votes of the people who supported Obama that his wife called "knuckleheads." Respecting the lives of the ambassador and his staff and the votes of people who look up to the presidency, no matter who's in office is something that's been missing from the current administration. It's time for a new administration that appreciates its ambassadors AND voters.

Just in case anyone wants to see what other presidents do in times when American are hurt or attacked:

I guess the death of 4 Americans weren't enough for Obama. Should have been more.

Definition of OPTIMAL:

most desirable or satisfactory

I know this is anecdotal, but a VERY liberal woman in my office — who had prominently displayed a “Hope and Change” poster in her office — has been acting quite despondent lately. Several people were talking about the debates yesterday, and she was asked by another lib how she thought things were going re: the election. And she said: “It’s not the same as it was last time” — which I took to mean 2008 — “Now, I just don’t know. It’s not the same. I just don’t know anymore. I don’t know what to believe.”

I almost went into cardiac arrest. If SHE is having doubts, then Obama is TOAST!!!
