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.

AMEN !

" It's time for a new administration that appreciates its ambassadors AND voters. "

Not only appreciates but respects.

Thanks. Glad I got it in before the Kommie gets kicked out.

"How long before Obumbo sends some lackey out to 'walk it back'?”

He'll blame it on bad intelligence.

Next debate is foreign policy. I smell a setup.

At least 0bama didn't mention binders.

Maybe Candy Crawford will explain what he really meant.

Candy is right now reading the transcript on national TV that says, "the president is 100% correct when he says having four dead Americans definitely is not optimal." There we have it from Candy. The president IS correct.

Wow! obamma just stepped in it big-time! He is so inconsiderate, uncompassionate and unfeeling!

I'd also recommend Twitchy - from our friend Michelle Malkin, the Owner, Founder, and Chief Executive Officer. She's cornering the mindshare in social media.

If you look at it right now, http://politics.twittersentiment.org/streams/ , you can see the Alred E; Smith Dinner Twiiter response.

:Romney talks, Obama talks, Romney “won”, and it’s all reflected in the graph. That’s weirdly interesting.

To him 5 is more optimal than 4.

Of course...how silly of me.
