How does Howard talk with Obama's appendage in his mouth?

I don’t know why they would expect a boost considering Obama is the one who caused all the trouble in the first place.

Foreign policy is not smoke-and-mirror optics, Bobo. But when you lose by 5.5% in November, just maybe you’ll have that moment of clarity...

This problem is of his own making. He really thinks a majority of people are that stupid.

Ah, so, this so-called movie whipping up the Muslim rabble is a DNC production.

I wouldn’t put it past the DNC to get people killed to further their agenda.

I voiced concern for this possibility yesterday or Wednesday. My view was to look at the Rasmussen poll and see which way it moves. Today was a good sign but we need a few more days to say how the country will view this crisis.

Point 1: The MSM will be wearing their full protect Obama at all costs battle gear. They will make him and Hillary look like Saints if possible.

Point 2. Don’t discount the possibility of a rally around the flag response to the events in the Middle East. I don’t expect it but I don’t rule it out either.

And don’t discount the possibility (Tin Foil Hats ON) that this is being orchestrated by friends of Axelrod and Company. If sufficiently desperate, they could be orchestrating a Wag the Dog Stragegy as a way saving the baby. (Tin Foil Hats Off).

Point 3. Why would al Qaeda and friends start something that they though would damage The One’s re-election chances? That makes no sense to me.

I hope his Wag the Dog attempt fails. It was a fairly funny movie years ago, but really sucks in reality...just ask the deceased ambassador.

Kurtz isn’t as bad as most MSMr’s. He’s merely dipping a toe into the water, as the MSM tries to flood the zone to defend Bobo’s disastrous Middle East policy. A indefensible policy of defenseless; a policy that is getting Americans killed.

I just turned on the TV- EVERYONE is covering this- naturally the cables are- but so are CBS, NBC and ABC.

If that were my son I would NOT allow this- his coffin would be missing. If that weren’t allowed- I would take a minute to have a private word with the president.

"Perhaps the shock and awe we saw on Hillary and Obozo's faces at the death of the Ambassador is really shock and awe because they only wanted the Ambassador and his staff to be captured. Then, Obozo would have been able to negotiate with the Muslims to free the captives. Too bad it all backfired.". . sounds delusional/conspiratorial, but knowing all the nefarious negotiations these people have done around the world in the last 3 1/2 years, I wouldn't put it past them.

They are so power hungry that I believe almost anything they do is for continued control.
