No. His color has nothing to do with it---on my side of the argument, at least. I'm can't say the same about you. Did you hear the statement Condi Rice made shortly after the news broke of the embassy being under attack? If not, it's worth looking up because it's exactly the kind of statement Mitt should have made.
No one here is say that you can't ever criticize the administration's handling of this crisis. But you're missing a very important point. Hint: You don't criticize the way a president is handling a crisis while the crisis is unfolding and all the facts aren't in. Don't be deliberately obtuse about that point. I know you're smarter than that.

Ummmmmm........Condi Rice's statement was made on Wednesday when it was know all who died.
When Romney made his statement (at 10:00 but sequestered until after midnight), it was about the Cairo Statement apologizing to the attackers over a film.
There was no official statement issued from Washington until an hour after Romney made his statement condemning the Cairo Embassy statement.
That statement from Washington basically said the same thing as Romney's.
LOL. How many polls have been released in the last few days? 10? 20? 30? Romney is leading in one, one that has a Republican bias. And his trend is down in that one now too. You are in serious denial.
We know the liberal media is pushing lies out to protect Obama.. and you dems believe it and eat it up.. if Obama gets in, I am prepared for the $8 a gallon gas, higher food costs, and higher taxes and basically higher costs for everything... printing more money comes with a cost.. QE3 is a reality... and why? more foreclosures up to the banks eye balls. Millions more coming. One can't have 23 million out of work and no foreclosures .. Obama and his green energy agenda. This guy is inept.
If it is meant to be that this country goes under it will be..
The reason for that is because Ryan looks like such a goofball when he does smile. He has the kind of mug you just want to keep slapping till it's red as a tomato.
Or maybe I'm saying that because when he smiles he looks like my good-for-nothing father.
Romney had no business saying anything about anything when he said it. He had no facts. His statement was inappropriate and wrong. With reprehensible timing.
The embassy tweeted in an effort to quell possible violence BEFORE its grounds had been breached.
Romney's statement:
Quote:
” “The embassy in Cairo put out a statement after their grounds had been breached,” he says in Jacksonville, Fla. “When our grounds are being attacked and being breached,” he says, the first response of the United States “must be outrage.… ”
The country hasn't missed the smirks on Romney's face during that debacle of a press conference. Everyone saw him for what he is - an opportunistic politician who gleefully and greedily put his own ambition before country. There's no walking that back.
Again, better he should take a page from this book

And just how much do you think gas (and everything with it) is gonna cost, if we have a Romney-led war with Iran?

You know this MAY sound far-fetched, but stranger things have happened in life. MAYBE the Romney campaign thought firing things up a little bit in the Middle East might help his election changes if it made Obama look really bad. Maybe Romney's campaign got word of the Innocence of Mohammed being out there, and just gave a "word" somehow to the Egyptian TV host who kept repeatedly playing the clip over and over and over and drawing attention to it just days before the attack on the Libyan embassy ........and it all backfired on him horribly. MAYBE that's why Romney was so "quick on the trigger" to make a statement about the situation. I"m not saying Romney's campaign or any big far right donors were working with the terrorists...I think that aspect would have surprised them.....but the terrorist who were planning an attack anyway just decided to take advantage of the publicity the movie denigrating their Prophet and religion was providing. Romney was certainly quick to put out that statement and WITH CONFIDENCE at first. Just a thought.
