Obama policy is to apologize 1st and turn it over to someone else 2nd. when it comes to the Muslim extremist he ignores. He wants to take care of the four murders as a police problem. Like it was not a coordinated attack on our embassy by a foreign power. But what do you expect from an administration who will not acknowledged terrorism! To them it is an Over seas mad bad thing.

Oddly enough, I’m still looking for the apology Obama supposedly issued. It’s not the thing Romney spoke against. That was an embassy staffer and not an apology.

Romney would have invaded Libya or Egypt or Yemen, or all three, saying its good for America.
4 yrs later he would say “I am not responsible, I recieved bad advice” ( sound like someone we know?)

Not wishing to harp on the facts, but no one apologized. A statement was made in advance to try to cool things down. It has lately come to light that this appears to be a coordinated effort instead of a protest that got out of hand. Some people who have other information should share it with the appropriate authorities or get themselves on a flight over there to “put up or shut up.”

This from the mouth of the moron who doesn’t recognize Egypt as an ally or have time to visit our biggest ally in the Middle East, Israel, even ONCE during his presidency!

If it’s not a police problem, then what is it? An excuse to invade?

Haven’t heard Obama disavow what the staffer said, but then again I wasn’t in Las Vegas at the President’s fundraiser.

Interesting how Romney isn’t held responsible for his comments.

article dated 9/13/12 “Libya and Egypt: Obama’s Jimmy Carter Moment”….prints one page.
-
Obama, like Carter before him, who threw Iran’s Shah under the bus, has thrown Mubarek and Qadaffi both under the bus, and now is stunned to find out that Obama helped empower radicals who attack US embassies and consulates and kill Americans.
-
according to a Ben Shapiro article, 9/13/12, “Report: Hillary Ignored Warnings”…the Independent.co.uk has reported details about the Libyan attack that “are so explosive that they will result in a Congressional investigation. …they should result in the resignation of Sec.State Hillary Clinton.”
—
“the US State Dept. had credible information 48 hours before the mobs charged the consulate in Benghazi, and the embassy in Cairo, that American missions may be targeted…nontheless, no warnings were given for diplomats to go on high alert and ‘lockdown’…”
(IMO, no security was alerted or beefed up for possible 9/11 attacks)
-
When will the Obama administration be held accountable???

“Interesting how Romney isn’t held responsible for his comments.”
Let’s see. People attacked our soil and killed our people. The plan was probably in place before more than a few people saw The Video. There’s a good chance Obama knew about it beforehand, and he certainly knew what happened before he laid his weary head to rest that night. Then he had to go to LV and get some money.
The news media devoted about 1% of their newscasts to the murders and attacks, and about 50% to one comment Romney made. They colluded with each other so that, no matter who was chosen to ask Romney a question, that question would be worded as a slap at him.
And you’re worried about holding Romney responsible for his comments, and think that Obama is so dedicated to his job as CINC? Sheesh.

Ok let us look at how this could be a police problem and you tell me. A police problem would be as if there was say a gang in LA using Military grade weapons to storm a police station in two separate waves in order to kill the captain. While this is going on the same gang is attacking the a police station in NY. All of this on a day 11 years ago the managed to cripple a nation. Then this police problems from the same gang decide to fire up their base in Chicago and somewhere in Florida and in Great Britain. Obama then goes up there and does not dismiss the fact that it was this Notion that a You Tube video that started it and Obama was going to make sure we found and prosecuted those who Murdered the police chief.

Spreading yet another lie. At no time as pres. Obama apologized for killing anyone on his watch. But if you care to show actual proof, please do?
