What foreign affairs has Mitt been involved in that makes him so much more qualified than Obama?
Delusional much??

And what foreign affair experience did the community organizer have? None! And what has he learned? Nothing!

They feel they have made a lot of progress with their White House meetings with the Muslim Brotherhood, to make them start to like us, and they don't want to risk losing that.

Because they are not afraid that you'll turn around and slit their throat for insulting your religion.

This "tolerance for Muslims" is really a fear of Muslims and their violent reactions to mere words.

Maybe because the objects of his attacks are not as crazy as those Islamists?

I think Romney got carried away and is politicizing a tragedy that the US could do nothing about. His comments also reflect his lack of understanding of the complexities of mideast policy. And then there is the ever-present question of what would Romney have done differently. Talk is cheap.

However, I too was more than a little disappointed at Clinton's remarks yesterday which seemed more toward assuring Muslims that the US did not approve of the film while failing to condemn the actions of the extremists. Of course, I only got snippets on the news so I don't know the full text of her remarks.

Once again, however, we must remind the hateful right that the violence of a relative handful of Libyans does not represent the attitudes and behavior of Muslims in Libya or around the world. The extremists are our enemies, not their religion.

Oh, run away Obozo from that reporter's question, "Mr. President, was this an act of war?"

Thank God for Mitt!

I call on all democrats who love this country to stand up and do the same.
Was Raegan a coward, when he responded to 275 dead marines in the Lebanon bombing, by pulling our forces out?

I know what Bush/ Cheney would do- invade the wrong country!!!

Why don't we let the adults handle this, hmmm?

Sit down and shut up, Mitt

No, what they are concerned about is some hotheads blaming an entire country and ALL of its people and an entire religion for the actions of a few.

We've already gone too far with this "tolerance". It's no longer tolerance but fear of what they will do now. We've lost the war to the radicals.

You don't let a bully get away with things. The first time they bully you, you turn around and punch them in the nose and tell them to lay off.
Playing nice with bullies doesn't work.
