Why are true statements by Romney reciviing more scrutiny than our embassies burning down?
It seems to be of greater interest that Romney (truthfully) said a portion of the electorate will never vote for a Republican and that Palistine wants peace with Isreal than the fact that our current president apologized for extreamists killing our amassidors and burnining down our embassies.
Bekindto... I kinda thought it might have been the same video, but the date of the story was current and I couldn't find out whether it was the same one or not. I didn't think he'd say that twice. Given that the press's coverage is even more obnoxious.

That video was taken in May. They must have been saving it for the perfect time. What he said also was that the Palestinian leaders refuse to negotiate for peace in Israel. Its difficult to say how the citizens feel about it. They were offered an excellent deal way back in the 70's but Arafat refused it demanding that Israel disappear.

It is all smoke and mirrors, they are trying really hard to divert attention from Obama's failure as a diplomat. I bet this particular released video/recording was supposed to be put out a week before the election, but they had to release it early as they need a distraction.
In the meantime, the people are out there protesting and screaming "death to the USA" and at the same time, stomping their feet on enlarged photos of Obama. So, we shall see if the sheep follow him blinding this time, yet again.
I sure hope the American public is smarter.
I actually heard what Mitt Romney had to say and agreed with it. What is the big deal anyway?
I note the convention bounce is over and Romney moved ahead of Obama in the polls today as well.

Romney merely said what 90% of Americans were thinking and saying around
dinner tables across the nation. WHY has Obama permitted U.S. citizens to
become the whipping boys of Muslims ? Why don't we take a baseball bat and
"explain" who and what this country really is ! Romney spoke like an "average
Joe" in America and the Liberals CAN'T stand that. The "connection" was made
again with his 74% remark.....how many MILLIONS of Americans are disgusted
with the Welfare increases, while the average families have dropped to the
Poverty Level? THAT'S why Liberals and the MSM MUST keep these
"non-issues" dominating headlines. Why Y/A Liberals are "hammering" away
with some of the most adolescent and immature questions and name calling
answers. THEY ARE SCARED. Very scared. Obama DID mess up bad with
his Muslim response, expressing SYMPATHY for the religion rather than
American deaths/injuries. ONCE again, Obama has DEMONSTRATED, he
has NO concerns about this country.

Actually, they are both receiving a lot of scrutiny. If you are looking for examples of proper behaviour by candidates when Americans are at risk overseas, check out
"This is the time for us as a nation and a people to stand united,' - Ronald Reagan, Republican candidate, after president Carter's botched mission to save US hostages.
"I unequivocally support the president of the United States -- no ifs, ands or buts -- and it certainly is not a time to try to go one-up politically. He made a difficult, courageous decision," - George H.W. Bush, a candidate at the same time.

Its funny people thinks its a crisis when 3 people die overseas. People die all of the time in your neighborhood. People die all of the time in the middle east at the hands of US troops. CRISIS is not the word at all. Do I feel bad they died? Sure. Is there anything we can do about it now? No.
WE SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE.
Many people die there but you don't hear it on the news.
He handled it well. Not inciting violence like the RIGHT wants to do. The RIGHT just wants to start wars. But guess what WARS mean? More deaths! But its not their sons, daughters, brothers or sisters fighting there. NO WAY they are too privileged to send their own over there. THey dont care if your family dies.

I'd like to know the answer to that too... Where is obama? Complete silence from him for 5 days in the middle of a crisis and not ONE person in the media is saying boo about it.. I hope people are watching and hae noticed his pattern of ignoring crisis' and going into hiding until it blows over... He dint seem to waste any time finding a camera to make comments about Treyvon Martin or the beer summit, both being local issues, but somehow he always goes MIA when there's a real issue..

The media that is really truely in bed with obama want Romney to loose,and are doing what ever it takes to try and make that happen. They will distort misinform spin and down right lie. They want the attention of obama's failed record burried and what there doing is demonizing Romney to try and do that.

Obama desires the U. S. out of the middle East and North Africa. Its particularly the sole clarification for this form of finished loss of reaction to the warnings. there have been various diverse assaults formerly 9/11. the united kingdom embassy exchange into attacked besides by means of fact the crimson bypass in the week formerly Sept. 11. It would not take extremely some mind's eye to assume that our embassies must be the objective of chatter related to terrorist assaults. we've switched over our armed forces focal component from that container of the international to Pacific Asia. Its why Obama stopped the take care of look after in Poland, why we've a military presence in Austrailia and our army there. Why? No clue. He desires us and the Western international to lose get admission to/to discover diverse get admission to to ability. of course the implications of that are an after concept.
