The Paddock

You mean AFTER or in the same sentence he SYMPATHIZES with the attackers?

Even so, take what you quoted... that's just him trying to sound like GW Bush. He knows how America rallied behind Bush and got him reelected... he just saw this as an opportunity to garner the same kind of support. The only problem is... he has already shown how weak he is on "justice" (and don't give us anymore bs about Bin Laden being dead either... we're not idiots). We know how Obama denied the Seals advancement on Bin Laden for several months (and damn near screwed up the whole mission)... only until his approval ratings had dropped drastically and his advisers made it abundantly clear that his "Go Ahead" approval for the military strike on Bin Laden, could boost his ratings. After all, that's all that matters to him... his popularity. Of course he relied on the success of the Navy Seals... but what does he do? He claims "personal" credit for the death of Bin Laden in every teleprompted speech he spews. Nevermind the fact that it was Bush's policies and interrogation tactics (Obama was SOOOO against) which led to the finding and killing of Bin Laden.

Obama said:

"We will not waver in our commitment to see that justice is done for this terrible act. And make no mistake, justice will be done."

Yeah sure Barry... and we all know exactly what that means. Tried in an American civilian court... with a government appointed defense attorney (or firm)... PAID FOR BY HARD EARNED MONEY OF THE AMERICAN TAX PAYERS!!!

GEEEEZZZ... what a leader!

It's really the same word.

Does this sound any better? He said this the next day.

"So what I want all of you to know is that we are going to bring those who killed our fellow Americans to justice. I want people around the world to hear me: To all those who would do us harm, no act of terror will go unpunished."

You're also woefully mis-informed on the Bid Laden deal. I just recently finished Peter Bergen's book about it. I'll probably read Mark Bowden's book as soon as it comes out. Not only did it not happen as you describe--it could not have happened that way. The Seals trained elaborately on a full-sized mock up of the compound and were not ready months in advance. Also, there was a two-day window when there was no moon--otherwise, the strike would have to wait another month. The operation dictated the timing.

Again, after the fact... he only talks tough when he's advised to. He's never serious or sincere about anything he spews... his every move and every word, is nothing more than calculated political strategies in an attempt to boost his ratings and popularity. After all... the only thing he's EVER been serious and sincere about, is his own popularity and political gains.

Oh and my buddy Bill Clinton wanted to make a comment on this subject. Bill? What ya gotta say?

So he should threaten the terrorists before they commit the terrorist act. You don't want Romney, you want the Amazing Kreskin

lol John Bolton and The Guardian. What initial reaction are you talking about?

No--it was the second day after the attacks.

Regardless, Obama is, I think, trying to make it look like the administration was more clear than it really was. But I see no reason for there not to be confusion and for them not to wait until facts were in. The Benghazi attack took place at about the same time that an actual riot over the movie was taking place in Cairo. We still don't know if the Al Quaeda offshoot orchestrated the riots in Libya or just took advantage of the one going on--the latter being much more likely.

Where Bolton and Romney and you are wrong is that this is a big foreign policy deal. It's not. It's tragic that we lost four lives, but the only news here is that there are terrorists who hate America. It's not a reflection of Obama's foreign policy any more than it is Bush's or Nixon's.

What is a big deal is that Libya has been freed from a dictator and can now become a Democracy. It was handled well by UN and American forces--at least from a public perception standpoint. Libyans are by and large pleased with our efforts, in greater portions than Iraquis, primarily because we didn't make this all about us and reshaping the country in our image. We helped get rid of a dictator, a sponsor of terrorism, and a nut, and the world is safer. That's the big picture.

What initial statement? Still waiting.

*cough for all you that don't get it. He's trying to ignore this question because he knows as soon as he answers it he's going to get smacked down hard cough*

Give me some examples of him sympathizing with terrorists. This is such a fake outrage situation. And I don't mean you. You're just baiting and playing games. I mean by the right in general. This issue is absolutely meaningless. Their/your argument is basically over semantics. Yeah he really showed his sympathy when he ordered Bin Laden killed. When he upped the drone attacks on Al Qaeda. And it's pretty lame they all support a guy who said it wasn't worth moving heaven and earth to kill Bin Laden. If you really are being serious you are a gullible fool and rush and faux "news" have a nice soldier with you.

All the guy has done since last November has been to campaign, AND all he cares about is his popularity. It is hilarious coming from someone like you how never uses facts just what you heard or were told by the local DP Rep. Oh and that hate thing is all over you it just oozes from your posts, but again typical leftie...intolerant and hateful

I am intolerant and hateful of ignorance and lying. I'm tolerant of stupidity because it can't be helped. The right hate Obama because he's Obama. And a lot of it is racial. You guys can deny it all you want. I live in Kentucky. Born and raised. Smalltown Kentucky. You go into any smalltown bar and you'll hear exactly what I'm talking about. And that's everywhere. It's not all race but in this case a lot of it is. I have no doubt you guys would have the same hate against Hillary had she won. Rush and faux would have you all in a tissy over something or other about her. I'm still waiting for examples of Obama sympathizing with terrorists. I'll be waiting awhile I'm sure. Unless you consider cluster f**king terrorists with smart bombs as sympathizing.

You shouldn't be so hard on yourself Carl.
