Breaking: Romney: Obama handling of Libya, Egypt violence 'disgraceful'
CNN ^ | September 11, 2012 | Mitt Romney

Posted on 09/11/2012 7:40:37 PM PDT by SE Mom

(CNN) - Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney on Tuesday issued a paper statement sharply critical of President Barack Obama over his handling of violence in the Middle East earlier in the day.

“I'm outraged by the attacks on American diplomatic missions in Libya and Egypt and by the death of an American consulate worker in Benghazi," Romney said in the statement. "It's disgraceful that the Obama Administration's first response was not to condemn attacks on our diplomatic missions, but to sympathize with those who waged the attacks.”

Mittens, RINO, he’s all in one. This ain’t Reagan, Bush or even Junior Bush we’re running against the head-cutter. Empty suit or empty chair, take your pick.

Lee Atwater never would have let it get this far.

One man in the USA is sleeping well tonight, Ex-President Jimmy Carter!
He is no longer the dumbest SOB President we ever had.
The Communistic Muslim loving Bastard that has slithered into our White House has now surpassed even his own expectations to place us in the most dire position, to become a true Third World Country!
God Bless this country and deliver us from this evil!

I like the way your think. But he may need to be more explicit since Bernake said he would drop dollars from helicopters if the thought it would prevent a recession.

So he might have to say we will invest our tax dollars in smart bombs which we will drop on their country.

Now Romney has to take this message to the people. The media wont report on this at all. They are Obama’s protectors because they have to be, they know if Obama is done so are they so they will protect this douche bag til the bitter end. Romney has to go on the attack but take it to the people, that way everyone hears it and since the media follows Romney’s campaign rallies, they will have to report it

He needs to stop with the milquetoast feel good political ads and start going after Obama hard in those ads.

“Yes, this screw up may be just what Romney needed.”

I think the Chicago teachers strike will be a real thorn in Obama’s side, especially if it drags on. Mitt has to leverage it.

This is what “going hot” looks like. Valerie Jarret is the architect

Valerie Jarrett is not smart enough to create that plan.

I have a short fuse when it comes to terrorists attacking america. I’d probably do something pretty drastic.

My grandma told me that if you're going to spank 'em, do it once and be thorough.

Romney - publicly promise to fire whoever wrote the apology to those Islamists sacking the Embassy. It WILL get you votes.

It is ironic that today when everyone might have been thinking about 9/11 & dead Osama & Obama could have basked in the glow of that success a year ago, Obama goofs up big time. Also, Obama’s first tweet yesterday was about volunteering for his campaign, not the anniversary. Just awful decisions and responses by Obama and his people today.
