I believe the Pope is trying to bring peace...but I think that is the last thing Muslims want to see..

Dear god! Let's have a press conference every day, for many hours, and have the President explain to us in detail what he's doing about EVERYTHING all the time! There is quite enough history now as to how Obama is dealing with the Middle East. Do some research and find out. I'd rather my President be working instead of trying to teach foreign policy to me every day!

So little patience. Did you really expect that a "democracy" could be formed without any internal strife?


Interesting that you continue to excuse the Americans who provided the "material" necessary to reach critical mass in this situation.
It seems that a lot of people feel that way.

Really makes me wonder which side they would have been fighting for during our Revolution.

Hey Obama is the one who was screaming about how transparent his admin was gonna be. Don't jump on others for expecting him to come through on his promise. Well I should say he did receive a transparency award..........behind closed doors with no reporters allowed. lol. Working? He won't even meet with the job council he appointed and apparently doesn't even look at the daily intelligence report. What is he working on anyway? Oh that's right his campaign.

If you had any decency, you too would demand answers on how stupid and idiotic they were to allow this to happen. But you don't care. You only care about saving his job. You could care less that people died due to incompetence.

Romney is the only one of the two who looked Presidential.
No, I'm not, but that does beg the question are you really so dense as to take the position you're taking about answering questions now?

I've outlined in other posts what the President can do while traveling on Air Force 1, which should be NO surprise to anyone that he can work very well from that plane. After all, Bush spent quite a lot of time in Air Force 1 immediately after 9/11.

If I had the decency? LOL Trying that old "shame card"? Well, it's really quite absurd of you folks who are so deeply concerned about the events taking place around the world to expect our President to have press conferences RIGHT NOW to answer your questions. Wait until the issue has been at least somewhat resolved and calms down.

I don't think I've said anything about my concern for "saving" the President's job. You're just flailing around there trying to insult I guess. And, other than what I've written here, you don't know anything about what I think.

They get a macho-man, ego boost out of using our military to bomb and kill Muslims in their own country.

And say "oops, sorry" when we kill scores of innocent civilians.

No question about it. The White US male, doesn't think twice about killing those not like himself.
Some can be counted on to use the race card no matter what the issue is.

More like wait until they can drum up some way to lay the blame on somebody else. Meanwhile the media is busy going after Romney while the orator hides away waiting for something to pop up on his teleprompter.

You want the President to be "transparent" about whatever strategy he and other world leaders are using the deal with this situation? You want him to reveal for ALL THE WORLD to see the behind the scenes talks, negotiations, or military action he might consider taking? Come on now.

When this crisis has been resolves or calms down, then is the time for questions. And I think the questions about what happened to whatever warnings were given to the State Department should include talks with Hillary Clinton. But AFTER the violence has been subdued. Do you want to add further fuel to the fire?

How do you know he doesn't look at intelligence reports? This President is part of the technology generation....he knows how to use IPads, etc. He doesn't need to have hard copies and everybody in one room. He can have a conference call at any time. He can also talk to the Secty of State, etc., about these things. All you have to do is look at how much the man has aged to know that he's WORKING.

That is usually all they are left with after their ridiculous arguments are shot down over and over again.
