Obama Calls Murder of Libyan Ambassador 'Bump in the Road"
 
Heartless and I can only think what the family of Chris Stevens thinks of the outrageous comment. He simply can't admit the war with terrorism goes on with or without Osama. Has time to talk to Whoopie and the gang but none for Israel, whom he publically states is our greatest ally. And not a peep from Susan Rice this weekend.

Here's what he actually said.

'I think it was absolutely the right thing for us to do to align ourselves with democracy, universal rights — a notion that people have to be able to participate in their own governance.
'But I was pretty certain and continue to be pretty certain that there are going to be bumps in the road because, you know, in a lot of these places, the one organizing principle has been Islam.'


Quite a bit different than what you're saying, isn't it Dell? Is anyone who leans right on this board capable of being genuine in their postings?

Not much of a difference to people who see through the bulls.hit of spreading democracy in Derkaland while destroying it at home.

Just because Romney is terrible doesn't mean the current office holder isn't.

alysheba4 09-24-2012 12:20 PM

at this point he might be the better choice.

I agree. But since he's so terrible, why not just focus on what he does terrible to make a point, instead of this nonsense?

In response to the question, .
Quote:

''Have the events that took place in the Middle East, the recent events in the Middle East given you any pause about your support for the governments that have come to power following the Arab Spring?"
and considering what the recent events in the middle east were, you know the planned murder of a U.S. embassador.

Yea I'd call it heartless AND very telling about the man.

Similar to him wanting to raise taxes for those making $250K by about $8,000 a year while he saw fit to donate a thousand of his money to charity when he earned $250K. Charitable not, con-man for sure!

because this is easier. people love those 'gotcha' moments. it's what the news does best, take a bit of a total speech, and run with it. people's attention spans aren't made for real conversations now, so little snippets are what they want to deal with.
if it won't fit on twitter, it probably wasn't worth saying....


scary, isn't it?

Oh for gods sakes, Dell: no, the President did NOT call the murder of the Ambassador a "bump in the road"; and you might listen to the moving, tearful eulogy the President gave for all the murdered victims.

I can't believe you are so unquestioning - or probably just such an ObamaHater - that you believe this RWNJ nonsense. God, you're gullible.

Thank you.

I don't care if people can't stand, or even hate, Obama. But the outright, crazy, deliberate lies are absurd. Mitt Romney has been caught out repeatedly for outright lies, and still repeats them after being caught and confronted by the press ("we won't let our campaign be governed by fact checkers" was the response to why they continue to lie)

Have you seen the "Mitt Romney - 'Why don't airplane windows open'", "Scott-Brown-Elizabeth Warren Debate tonight, Brown tried to weasle (sic) out", "Block the Vote-College Edition" and "Senate Republicans just killed the Veteran's Jobs Bill" threads? And that is just in the last couple of days.

Yeah, glad you brought that up - it's a good time to review the difference between "a fact" and "disingenuousness".

Fact: "A thing that is indisputably the case."

Fact: Mitt Romney said he didn't know why airplane windows opened.

Fact: Scott Brown tried to avoid the debate by claiming he couldn't attend due to senate voting (false there were senate votes remaining that night).

Fact: Students are indeed being targeted to disqualify their student ID's (laws provided)

Fact: Senate Republicans did vote to block the Veterans Job Bill (voting record causing this exists)

Was any of the above lies, or "disingenuine"? No. It was all factual truth.

Is it a fact that President Obama called the Ambassador's death a "bump in the road"? No. That's false

Fact: Who cares what Romney thinks about airplane windows

Fact: Scott Brown was willing to do the job he was elected to do over participating in a debate.

Fact: The Voter ID issue is a canard designed to pad the voting rolls with illegal votes to help Democrats win tight races like they did with Al Franken.

Fact: Senate Republican's only blocked the vote because the law the Democrats tried to bait them with was in violation of the Budget Control Act. Further fact, Harry Reid refused to even introduce the Republican's version which did comply with the Budget Control Act. Further fact, the Republican's were willing to go with the Democrat's proposal as is but only if the Democrat's were willing to find an amount of budget cuts which would offset the increase the Democrat's proposal would add to the deficit to comply with the Budget Control Act.

See, you can form opinions based upon facts, but you cannot dispute the facts.

Fact is not opinion. Thanks for agreeing.

So why you compared facts as being equivalent to non-fact is ... well, must be a lawyer thing. It is indeed not genuine.

Which begs the very question you failed to answer - but proves the question was valid in it's observation: "Is anyone who leans right on this board capable of being genuine in their postings?"

Well I care what Romeny thinks about airplane windows because if he actually asked this question then he is too stupid to run the country.

"It was also interesting to see that political interaction in Europe is not that different from the United States Senate. There's a lot of -- I don't know what the term is in Austrian, wheeling and dealing." Obama --confusing German for "Austrian," a language which does not exist, Strasbourg, France, April 6, 2009.

Everyone says something stupid from time to time, I am sure I can find 10 or 20 more stupid things Obama has said. Is what Romney said worse than this quote, particularly when you are the person in charge of foreign affairs who is considered the leader of the free world?

Give me an honest dope over a hypocritical con-man any day. Especially a dope who is so generous with his own money and so conservative with others'. He's the 'opposite George' of Obama.

that's dumb, but not roll down the windows on an airplane dumb. not even close. also not as dumb as saying that a guy worth a quarter of a billion dollar should pay a lower effective tax rate than someone working and making 50k a year.

How about this gem of Obama's. You want a President who doesn't know the number of States there are in the country?

"I've now been in 57 states -- I think one left to go." --at a campaign event in Beaverton, Oregon

As I said, everyone says something dumb and this is dumber than the airplane windows as it actually relates to the job he is doing. There are plenty more. But to focus the election on a couple of dumb statements that everyone makes from time to time is just looking for an issue that doesn't exist.

i'm pretty sure that he said that tongue in cheek. but it keeps coming up as him being seriously unknowing about how many states there are.

Are you kidding? BWAAAHAAA - There's video of that! He was smiling and joking when he called that out to the press!

Well done - exactly the type of "disingenuineness of the right" being discussed in this thread, following Dell's lead. Great example!

My point is simple. That we have to look no further than your threads to see that those on the left focus on as many useless issues, if not more, than those on the right. You are the postergirl for the left and there is no denying that.

This is just complete nonsense from you, but what else would anyone expect. Yes the first is an opinion, but of course, what else would it be in response to a thread you posted with your trivial stupid opinion?

What is not factual about the other three things I listed? That was just a sampling of just a few days of the proof that you provide that those on the far left are just as bad, if not worse, as those on the far right with some of the nonsense they espouse in favor of their candidate.

Since when have I been on the far right? Please don't tell me she is not on the far left and never puts up false information.

You really can't justify that everyone posting on the left has all genuine threads, can you? Why don't you start with the suggestion that the Republican's refused to bring the Veteran's Bill for a vote because they don't care about veterans.

If I post anything that's factually wrong, you are always free to provide facts to show how it is wrong. Mostly, though, you don't do that. You just snark, whine and bitch. You're the king of changing the subject (see this thread) and conflating your opinion with fact :D

And if you think I'm "far left", I suggest you really need to get out into the realpolitical world ! LOL ! :D

they obviously care more about being political than they do about veterans. the constant games back and forth between the two parties is sickening. and we're the ones who pay for their games.
