It's just how it works with the liberals. Obama is flawless, literally. He can't do a single thing wrong, no matter what he does. It's amusing.
And the radical Islamists are attacking American embassies. It's Bush's fault. Gas prices have doubled: Bush. Do the libs know how ridiculous they sound?

That was a different Romney. Pro choice,pro gun control,etc.

This is not a tragedy, it is a terrorist attack on our nation. Yes, there is still a War on Terror and it is about time that Obama realizes it. Could he at least meet with his security advisors, ask them questions, make suggestions, formulate a plan with them. Could he meet with the leaders of the countries in the Middle East that are our allies, like Israel and others. It would be a show of leadership. It would help his campaign more than fundraising.

Yeah, it's not like his administration has done anything actively in the way of countering terrorism, such as dramatically expanding drone strikes and killing dozens of high-value targets, finally bagging OBL, and shoring up the situation in Afghanistan. Did you decided to just purposefully be obtuse and "forget" this for the sake of your argument, or have you not been following along?

Here, I'll do your own criticism of Obama for you, but better: Obama has actually been quite active and ruthless in his approach to terrorism, which actually contradicts quite a few of the things he said in criticizing Bush's policies back when Obama was a candidate. He has taken on and even expanded many of Bush's policies, to the largely silent onlooking of the Democrats.

I'm more ashamed of the naive American voters that will put him or Romney back in office for more of the same crap.

It takes more then the President to get most things accomplished.
"War in Afghanistan? Who started that anyway?"

"If you don't know the answer, don't ask the question. It makes you look foolish."

AMERICA started the war. A DEMOCRAT co-sponsored the bill, in fact he was the Senate Majority Leader. Many top DEMOCRATS voted yes when the bill came up.

Just to re-fresh your memory, if you are old enough.

Baucus (D-MT)
Bayh (D-IN)
Biden (D-DE) Current VP
Breaux (D-LA)
Cantwell (D-WA)
Carnahan (D-MO)
Carper (D-DE)
Cleland (D-GA)
Clinton (D-NY) Current Sec of state (Labeled Smartest women in the world by many lefties)
Daschle (D-SD) Leader of the Senate at the time and co-sponsored the bill
Dodd (D-CT)
Dorgan (D-ND)
Edwards (D-NC) Ran for VP
Feinstein (D-CA)
Harkin (D-IA)
Hollings (D-SC)
Johnson (D-SD)
Kerry (D-MA) Ran for Pres.
Kohl (D-WI)

Miller (D-GA)
Nelson (D-FL)
Nelson (D-NE)
