On the John Stewart show Obama called the deaths in Benghazi "not optimal". Really Obama? Not optimal. I would say those deaths are far beyond not optimal.

What a disgusting excuse of a president.

Last time he called them "bumps in the road".

It shows how he really feels about Americans.

It is really a sad day for our country when a man like that is Our leader. But even more sad that there are people whom still support him.

The 'Optimal' quote was a lead by John Stewart, which Obama had to respond to. A conversation, such as these men were having, bounced back and forth in a natural way.

Obama never struck me as being cold and heartless as the title of this thread suggests. He's a populist - You might disagree with populism. Many do. But he's not the devil.

Default Obama: Four Americans killed is not optimal

Is that better than being a bump in the road?

Obama responded: 'Here's what I’ll say. If four Americans get killed, it’s not optimal.'

The fool is a boil on America. One that badly needs lancing.

I'll be so glad when he's back to wherever he came from.

I was more disappointed with Stewerts lame follow up. He just let him off.

And why has Obama said more about this on a comedy show than anywhere else?

Obama's drone attacks have murdered women and children, his pointless wars have destroyed the lives of American soldiers and their families.
He is a political creature who will do anything to hold on to power and no one should be surprised at his cold disconnect with reality.
Behind the toothy grin lies a sociopath.

Maybe he thinks only four American deaths is a comedy.

I think the context was in regards to communication. That if 4 Americans died, the communication is not optimal.
