I am very disappointed that Mitt Romney is trying to climb over the dead bodies of American ambassadors in an attempt to gain the White House. Absolutely disgusting display of a self absorbed dolt.
How can he possibly justify such an unacceptable display of disrespect?
You guys do realize the statement Romney wigged out about was a statement the U.S. Embassy in Cairo released on Tuesday morning, responding to the outrage over an anti-Islamic movie, was issued before the embassy was attacked, The statement does not apologize for America's values, but rather supports a founding American value, religious tolerance, while referencing the "universal right of free speech."
This was the statement released BEFORE the attacks:
I was pointing that out as well. But the Obama pundits do not want to deal with this.
They aren't even acknowledging the Cairo attack. All the focus is on Libya.
An attack on our embassy and the murder of our diplomats is an attack on ALL of us. For Romney to try to turn our pain into a political gain for himself - before he even had the facts - is a development that disqualifies him from being President. It is that simple.
Then Obama was disqualified as soon as he said "the police acted stupidly".
Romney's response was exactly correct. He showed leadership. We shouldn't be apologizing. The attack was uncalled for. It shows what kind of "religion" Islam really is, and it is not a "religion of peace."
You need to get your facts straight...The Romney campaign attacked the Cairo embassy statement that was issued following attacks on that embassy, and before news emerged of the attack on the Libyan embassy and the killing of Ambassador Chris Stevens.
Below is the statement Romney is attributing to Obama...Mitt is a low life bottom feeding liar...
"The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims – as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions," the embassy said in the statement, which was published online.
Here is the pertinent part of Obama's statement...
"The United States condemns in the strongest terms this outrageous and shocking attack," the president said. He said the US is working with the Libyan government to bring the attackers to justice.
"Make no mistake, justice will be done," Obama said.
Yep, just straight forward reporting on what actually happened.....which is Romney showed leadership and Obama once again showed his pandering to radicals and his foreign policy weakness.
As I said earlier, it wouldn't take long for the rest of it to come rolling in--print media just hadn't caught up with the news yet. I'm sure more will be rolling in as the afternoon goes on...

Yet, you were one of the first to try and pin the Gabby Giffords shooting and Jared Loughner on tea party folks.
Ironic, isn't it?
By the way, Romney did exactly what he should have done given the pathetic response of our about-to-be-fired president.
I can't help it if you are ignorant about what Islam is all about. (and no I'm not Muslim) Its a peaceful religion like Christianity but some Islamic extremists have made the whole religion look bad like Rev Terry Jones is making Christians look bad. Its unfortunate that you don't think for yourself and you let folks like Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity sway your opinions. Fear is usually based on ignorance. It's no different from racism.
This. ^^ It never ceases to amaze me how posters like jt and other fundamentalist Christians can slam Islamic extremists with a straight face. They are exactly the same; the only difference is the brand of religion they exploit to push their extreme views.
Romney is a disgusting human being. No wonder Americans are not buying his lies.
