President Barack Obama Sept. 12 Rose Garden: “No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation.”

Another Obama tax payer green company files for bankruptcy and another plays monlopoly all day. Another great day for the middle class. Thanks Mr Hollywood!

LG Chem....doing the jobs Americans wont do ...''we play monopoly, so you dont have to''.

Oh, like Obama and that officer from Cambridge Ma with that "racial" incident?

Glass houses to be sure; and Obama gets a pass? Why exactly?

I wasn't aware that either Bush was running for President this year. Thank you for clearing that up.

Big difference, The jury has long been back on the lies and obfuscations of Bush-Cheney. Neither you nor I --unless you´ve got special federal security clearance-- knows what actually happened in Benghazi. It was very chaotic by initial reports. Leave it to politicians and not statesmen like Jennnifer Horn to try to score political points so prematurely on the heels of the deaths of honorable servants of our country in the line of duty. Never a shill for Obama, I decry his obfuscation on a lot of issues, such as Fast and Furious, which also led to the deaths of lots of innocent people. That said, there is no doubt in my mind that the likes of Jennifer Horn are hastily seeking to incriminate Obama before all the facts are know because it's good campaign fodder. We weren't born yesterday. And if folks out there abhor obfuscation and avoidance, try asking Willard Romney what tax deductions, loopholes and credits he plans to eliminate.... it cuts both ways, amigos.

Jennifer is no different than the other side of the isle. In fact I would say that is a Republican administration pulled half of what the Obama administration has the general media would be all over them like white on rice; but now this guy gets a pass. Yup not partisan at all huh?

Good point. However let's not forget that the Democrats joyfully went along with Bush on that war. Oddly enough, the Constitution gives that authority to the Congress and NOT the President. So if you have a problem with Bush taking us to war, maybe you should direct that anger to the Congress who thwarted their Constitutional power.

Now back to the President who is also willing to LIE to cover is butt.

IF you were bothered by Bush, like I was, you should be really angry at the so called DOVE who bombed Libya . (remember who has that Constitutional authority)

Pointing back to Bush is really getting BORING. I never supported the war in Iraq. I knew that they were using cherry-picked intelligence. (read the foreign press)

However that ship sailed. It's time to deal with TODAY instead of blaming BUSH BUSH BUSH.

It's boring. It's old. Quite frankly I"m embarrassed for those who still try to use that excuse.

It's obvious that the administration is attempting a cover up. Very disappoingting that the media is assisting them. Here are the facts;
Deposing Kadafi created a power vacuum. The compound our ambassador was operating out of was not a secure facilty although It could have been secured if the appropriate support personnel had been assigned. The administration must have been aware of thie rising threat in Libya. The Benghazi security issues surely would have been broght up during daily security briefings. Why were the ambassador's pleas for incresed securirty denied? Was it because it did not fit the "Alceida's on the run" narrative? The bottom line; the State Department is responsible for the safely of our foreign diplomats and that department reports daily to the office of the president.
If the White House knew and did nothing, shame on them.
If the White House did not know (as they are claiming) that's even worse.

Deaths in Afghanistan at 1,500 due to Obama troop surge.

Bush did not get a free ride on that at all, and the fact that we are still pointing at anything but the presidents own record and actions is pathetic. This is the same behavior that a drug addict uses so they do not have to talk about their own actions, it is called a deflection or diversion so that we do not focus on the problem at hand. You have a president and administration that has lied and covered it up, on more than just this occasion, and your answer is to trivialize the death toll?

Come November you have an opportunity to say that this is not acceptable, from EITHER party; the question is are you too partisan to do it?

If Bush, rather than Romney, were running against Obama now, this would be a relevant (albeit debatable) point. But if your argument is that one should prefer Obama over Romney despite the Obama Administration's demonstrated incompetence and mendacity, because of what Bush Jr. did, then you are doing Obama no favors.

I believe Bin Laden was handed to the US on a silver platter when Clinton was in office. I guess that means Bush inherited the problem.

Jennifer Horn is a washed-up 1) Republican political hack, 2) Telegraph correspondent, and 3) radio commentator but she says things the Right Wing likes to hear so the wing-nuts keep acting as if what she says means anything.

Well clearly those who have no intelligent reply to her charges pull the boring personal attack as some sort of reply.

Ted:

Her "charges" are just the latest fresh-from-Republican-headquarters horsepucky and have already been thoroughly rebutted everywhere except in Republicans' minds; there's no need for me to do it again.

The above screech is from the leader of the Brookline Democrats Society, and a PAID member of the Obama campaign.

Mike:

Keith has told you he is *NOT* a paid staff member of the Obama campaign. Why do you keep repeating this as if it were true?

Are you just trying to keep up with (e.g.) Jennifer, your mentor in pretending lies are the truth?

And you have told us you're not a socialist, too. Everything you read on the internet is true, eh ?

bwaaahahaha... Obama didn't make this political... Okey dokey Keith, if that's what your WH daily brief tells you...

What does Obama have to do before you disagree with him? Some of you far left libs are just tape recorders. I have no problem finding fault with any Republican President, including Reagan. But Obama has absolutely LIED about Benghazi, has handled it very poorly, 4 Americans are dead, and he's more worried about how it looks to his campaign effort. And you just carry his water and parrot the exact same lines you get from MSNBC, or DailyKos, or wherever.

Can he do no wrong? Or are you one of those who thinks Obama hasn't been liberal enough? The bailouts weren't big enough, it wasn't a complete takeover of healthcare (yet), etc.

"Outlandish claims with no basis in fact are items of faith or superstition that change the minds only of the gullible or the ignorant, or those who already drank the Coolaid."
I commend your ability to succinctly describe the Democrat party in one sentence. Well done.

And it may not be in your side's best interest to try and attach Nazi-ism to the right, when there are a lot of shady characters pulling for Obama...

"No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character, or eclipse the light of the values that we stand for. Today we mourn four more Americans who represent the very best of the United States of America. 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."

Obama yet to confirm ‘terrorist’ act in Libya
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/oct/17/review-obama-hasnt-implicitly-acknowledged-terrori/

There have been terrorists acts during the Obama Administration. He refuses to admit it. Doing so, he politicizes it. To deny it is BS.

Here's the link:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2012/09/12/remarks-president-deaths-us-embassy-staff-libya
He closes with:
"May God bless the memory of those we lost and may God bless the United States of America."

Flash doesn't read anything that doesn't come from a predetermined cesspool that feeds Obama hatred. But yes, that transcript explicitly refers to the event as terror ( apparently this makes the world right again?).

Sept 13th, in Nevada:
"As for the ones we lost last night: I want to assure you, we will bring their killers to justice. And we want to send a message all around the world — anybody who would do us harm: No act of terror will dim the light of the values that we proudly shine on the rest of the world, and no act of violence will shake the resolve of the United States of America."
http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2012/09/13/remarks-president-campaign-event-las-vegas-nv

ForThePeople: Flash is so low-information he's sub-information.

''we will bring their killers to justice '' then obama and his henchmen arrested the American film director

he opened with this :
While the United States rejects efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others, we must all unequivocally oppose the kind of senseless violence that took the lives of these public servants.
this is obama blaming the attack on the ''senseless violence'' not terrorist attack senseless violence, caused by the video .....no other way to see it

Actually, Candy doubled down on the transcript of remarks. The link to the transcript is right above your post. How about telling the truth instead of making this a political point? What about this event makes you want to sing and dance in the blood of all Americans just to push your right-wing agenda? Shame on you.

FTP...you couldn't Handel the truth

No sir, shame on you. How dare you accuse someone of "singing and dancing in the blood of all Americans" because they were ignorant enough to point out the truth...and the truth is it doesn't matter if Candy Crowley was right or not. Only one of the statements from Mr. Biden and Mr. Obama can be correct. As they contradict each other completely, one of them is lying. And shame on you for assuming that as an outraged American citizen who would dare to expect honesty and accountability from the current administration regarding the murder of American citizens on foreign soil, that I must be using their deaths to push a "right wing agenda". My only agenda, sir, is to find out the truth of the situation, which has been difficult to ascertain given the number of stories the Obama administration has told in regard to this event. The only clear truth that has yet to be had is that the administration obviously hasn't told the truth, which is huge disservice to all Americans of every political persuasion, and especially to the families of those who were killed. And lastly, shame on you for cowardly attacking people online, saying things that I highly doubt you would say to someone's face, without having the courage to post your own name to it.

I accuse you of just such a thing, Tia, but judging by the posts on this thread you are not alone. Jennifer Horn is with you! You must be so proud. The fact is, the transcript shows that it was called an act of terror by the president right after the event. Any attempts at politicizing this- because honestly the characterization of the attack is really not the sticking point, is it?- makes you a horrible person because you are scoring points off of dead diplomats.

I repeat, you are scoring points off of dead diplomats.

That does indeed make you a bad person.

Forthepeople, it is so sad that you are attempting to attack so many here with name calling and not posting any references to prove your point other than the usual selection of sound bites (as in your reference to "act of terror" which follows a reference to 9/11/2001 and not Benghazi as posted in the original transcript ). Everyone here knows what was said in the speech and that the administration followed that speech by stating over and over that the attack was directly related to a mob in Benghazi which was not true. The issue is really not the phrase "act of terror", but the clear fact that the administration has tried to cover up the well planned attack by Muslim Islamic Terrorists...have you not figured that out yet. The game of name calling from the left no longer provides any value, we just don't bother to pay much attention....you need to work on your noise....we all have great noise filters these days.....have a nice day

Mark-Regardless of whether it was preplanned or spontaneous, it was an act of terror. In the days following the attack, there was conflicting information from the various intelligence agencies and the press. The Administration and others stressed the investigation was ongoing. I do not see how the RW can see any coverup. They are just trying to make a tragedy political before all the facts are in. Shame!

Maybe not a coverup. As the Vice President confirmed, the administration did not know about requests for additional security. Further confirming the lack of leadership and preparedeness of this administration. We have been told that this President does not need to attend security briefings because he reads the materials and responds in writing or through aides. Well, whatever his management style is, it has been a failure and is not effective.

Tammy - when asked point blank whether it was terrorism on The View, the President would not say. Why not? This was 2 weeks later. Intelligence agencies knew it was a pre-planned act of terror the NEXT day. And while Jay Carney and Susan Rice and the President were still carping about that video, the State Dept. clearly stated this was never their explanation for the attack. Why this makes a difference is - if this was a pre-planned terrorist action on the anniversary of 9-11 following repeated requests for additional security from the late Ambassador, which were denied by the Admininstration, then it clearly demonstrates 3 things:
1. Despite Bin Laden assuming room temperature, Al-Qaeda is still very much alive
2. This administration is pitifully unprepared to deal with item 1
3. After this administration's intervention in Libya, the country is a mess and overrun with people hostile to the US. The same can be said for Egypt.

All of this completely wipes out the Obama narrative of "We got Bin Laden, all is well". That is why they were still trying to hide the truth weeks after the terrorist attack and the murder of 4 Americans.

Mark-in every discussion, by the President and by others, it was stressed an investigation was on-going.

The security question is another issue. I too look forward to the final report, but from what I have read so far there were standard measures in place. Unfortunately, the standard was not good enough. I don't understand why there were no gas masks in the safe room, for example.

obamas ongoing investigation should be completed by nov 7

You really need to research what the Libyan people think. The majority are pro-US.

Spreading the lies like a good Republican. The transcript references the attack and then says "act of terror." It was not about September 11, and you know it.

Your right Bill operation ''Wide Receiver" was implemented By Bush and tracking chips were actually installed in every weapon that was sold under that op and as soon as the drug cartels found out the weapons were chipped the op was scraped.
Operation Fast and Furious was holder and obamas brain child and not one weapon ever sold in Fast and Furious was fitted with tracking devices, why? because tracking the guns was not the object of the op, blaming the US for gun trafficking into Mexico was

Judith, republicans PROPOSED cuts to the general budget. The PROPOSED budget was NEVER voted on in the Senate or signed into law by President Obama. So, to your point, there was NO cuts in funding for protection of overseas outposts.

30 years ago Reagan did not try to mislead the public about what happened; and he responded with force much quicker than the current administration even openly admitted what had happened.

Charlie-Do you mean by invading Grenada?lol

That issue in Lebanon was very different.

Dave you left out what Mr. Obama was speaking about right before the comments you quoted above. They are: " Of course, yesterday was already a painful day for our nation as we marked the solemn memory of the 9/11 attacks. We mourned with the families who were lost on that day. I visited the graves of troops who made the ultimate sacrifice in Iraq and Afghanistan at the hallowed grounds of Arlington Cemetery, and had the opportunity to say thank you and visit some of our wounded warriors at Walter Reed. And then last night, we learned the news of this attack in Benghazi.

As Americans, let us never, ever forget that our freedom is only sustained because there are people who are willing to fight for it, to stand up for it, and in some cases, lay down their lives for it. "

Thus the reference was to 9/11 as many news reports have already stated....so lets me accurate....

Dave and Bill, both of you left out the the reference to the ''video attack theory''

''While the United States rejects efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others, we must all unequivocally oppose the kind of senseless violence that took the lives of these public servants.''

was it senseless violence or work place violence ? obama clearly made this remark in reference to his video violence attack theory that his administration pushed off on Americans for three weeks
He vowed to get those responsible and his administration promptly arrested the American who made the video , his crime , exorcising his first amendment rights........
welcome to Bolshevik obamas amerika comrades

...and as politicians are quick to say, it's all about context. In Obama's Rose Garden remarks, the reference to the Bengazi attack came at the beginning of the remarks and were immediately followed by the reference to the video. The "acts of terror..." comment came at the end of the remarks and were immediately preceded by the reference to 9-1-2001. Also, not to repeat the litany of the number of times and Administration people that said it was about the video, but Jay Carney is Obama's SPOKESPERSON. That means that he speaks FOR and ON BEHALF OF the President. So, when Carney continued to refuse to say it was an act of terror, the context is clear: for two weeks, Obama refused to call the specific attack on the Bengazi consulate an act of terror.

Just the Truth-Why is everyone forgetting about the many protests that were occurring across the ME over the video at the time?

Right wingers do not seem to understand Reason or Factual Evidence for the most part.

Everything seems to be a conspiracy of some sort to most.

Mark, they name call because for the most part they have no referenceable material to refute the statements of the right....Like Obama, if they call us the same name often enough, they believe, others will be sucked into believing them...that approach now is quite old and is not working any more. The problem is that liberals haven't figured it out yet.

Name calling and personal attacks...sounds vaguely familiar:
"If I meet Mike Healy or David Victory in the street and start slapping them silly for being foolish liberals, would they try reason with me or fight back? Better fight, or I'll hit you till my hand hurts."
Pot meet kettle.

James Mahoney: I wouldn't try to reason with you and I wouldn't fight back. I would escape and call the police. You would be jailed for battery.

Donald the publicity for all to see was the arrest of the man who made the film the rest was back washed, if he is found guilty of a parole violation then put him back in prison to finish out his sentence ,but that doesent change the administrations continued talking point that this was why the muslim terrorists attacked the embassy, they even made a commercial that ran on arab TV apologizing for the video and claiming the US govt wasent involved in its production ...I wonder what that cost us

JIM: I didn't know about the commercial. Did you see it? Rather than just explaining the importance of free speech in the US, did we actually apologize for Nakoula's exercise of that Constitutional right?

No Donald, I didn't see the commercial , I understand it played in some of the arab states that were experiencing riots, and the only thing I read was that the US govt said in the advertisement that they had no knowledge of the videos making, they were sorry it was made and that muslims were offended and they (US govt) were not involved in its production in any way.

“Bin Ladin Determined To Strike in US" was the President's Daily Brief prepared by the Central Intelligence Agency and given to U.S. President George W. Bush on August 6, 2001. The brief warned of terrorism threats from Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda 36 days before the September 11, 2001 attacks. The warning was ignored, and nearly 3,000 people died. Maybe you can contrive a way to blame that on Barack Obama who was in the Illinois Senate at that time.

George W Bush is no longer President. Barrack Obama was elected president after campaigning on "Hope and Change" and promising not to repeat the errors of past presidents.
Now that you have perfect 20/20 hindsight. What exactly would you have done, if you were president, and recieved a warning about Osama Bin Laden and al-Queda? Send an assasin to kill him? Arrests him in a foreign country? Invade Afghanastan? Increase security at the airports? Remember now, the terrorists boarded planes with perfectly legal box cutters. Put a US air marshall on EVERY flight? Tell us. rememebr, you now have perfect 20/20 hindsight. Yet, you probably one of the people who criticised President Bush for acting on intelligence regarding WMD in Iraq.

salemvoter: That's just the point. If it is 20/20 hindsight to blame the 9/11 attack on President Bush, then it is also 20/20 hindsight to blame the Fort Sill massacre on President Obama as News Flash does.

And George Bush got reelected after that yellowcake lie. You are as bad as everyone else scoring points off of dead Americans, Salem. Your partisanship is so bad that you need to exploit dead diplomats. What does that say about you?

If nothing else, it says you vote Republican.

Salemvoter, did you know that navy seals had Osama Bin Laden in the cites of their weapons in Afghanastan and called then President Bill Clintion and asked for permission to pull the trigger and President Clinton said no......this happened a few years after the 1993 World Trade Center attack...That Democrat President could have taken the world terrorist leader out and he did not.....too darn bad.....

Please provide references Bill. This is what makes you and your right wing groupies so repugnant. You politicize and make partisan things upon which everybody agrees, such as what constitutes terror or eliminating terrorists. This is something both parties agree on, but in your world, you would rather score points to make pretend that somehow Democrats are pro-terrorism or something.

Which we all know is false. You know it's false. You are outright lying and are being called on it. You are also being scolded for what you are doing, which is exploiting dead Americans for political points.

Donald, you post specifically mentions that Bush did not act on intelligence about Bin Laden before 9/11. Your post did not say anything about Fort Hood. The original poster mentioned Fort Hood, you did not and I was responding to your post.

forthepeople: Here is the video of the CIA agent who was in charge of the opportunity as he spoke to people on 60 minutes......don't you dare challenge me on facts....I don't lie......here is the link: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/14/hank-crumpton-cia-clinton-bin-laden_n_1514895.html

For the People, your reference to scoring points off dead Americans is irrational. What you don't want to accept is this President and administration have demonstrated lack of leadership and preparedeness and then tried to redefine the narrative about this tragic event to cover their malfeasance. You may say they didn't have all the information and were waiting for a report, yet, they were quick to emphasize a you tube movie as the reason for the unrest, and to define the events in Libya as unrest due to the movie on the Sunday morning talk shows, statements by the press secretary and speech at the UN. They even funded a 78,000 dollar video to the Arab world to apologize about the movie.
So, suck it up, and deal with the weakness that this administration has consistently demonstrated i.e. a total lack of leadership and failed policies. When their policies don't work then they blame everyone else, like a spoiled rotten 6 year old.

Please read.
http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=4635

Perhaps the media is to blame or should be credited for the confusing narrative and different accounts by intelligence agencies.

Even in the face of a transcript, you right-wing folks just go off on whatever Fox tells you to. And for what? You don't care at all about the diplomat and service personnel who died. You just want to make a point for your candidate. How soulless do you have to be to go around spreading lies, jumping on blogs and ranting and raving about things that are not even factual… How soulless? What does that say about you as a person? There are so many other topics that you can play with to push your candidate besides using dead Americans.

Grow up.

forthepeople, there are some in the world who are hopeless souls,you must be one...You ask for links and facts and they are given and you choose to ignore what is provided....we all feel bad and grieve in our own way for the Ambassador and aids....President Obama went back to bed the night of the raid, then was off to a fund raiser the next day, exactly where is the reverence.....and why was there an effort to cover up the real cause of the attack??? We clearly still are under attack by Muslim Islamic Terrorist and the President would like to make us believe it is under control....just not so....

There's no cover up. Turn off Rush Limbaugh. If you don't want to read the transcript, that's on you. The transcript from a day after the attack, I might add.
You don't ever refer to it because it doesn't sell your candidate (this goes back to you being a bad person, stomping on dead Americans for political points). You can lie all you want to, but prepare to be fact checked just like your candidate was at the debate. The right wing has it wrong, and that's why it was roundly defeated at the debate.

obama sept 12 Rose Garden : ''While the United States rejects efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others, we must all unequivocally oppose the kind of senseless violence that took the lives of these public servants.''

Mike, you are very good at using sound bites for your purpose of calling Jennifer Horn a hack, but the whole world here and just about anywhere else knows you are the hack, the left has lost its ability to call people names by using their favorite sound bites....If you were up with your information, you would know that the CIA Station chief and State Department personnel have made it clear the attack at Benghazi was a well planned terrorist attack and had nothing to do with any movie trailer or local mob activity. They knew this within the first 24 hours of this attack - they placed that information in the hands of the White House within that time period......There is absolutely no way the President can defend the lie that this attack had anything to do with the video. If you continue to defend the president, you too are clearly lying. If you have kids, what kind of example are you giving them??? What are you friends thinking about you....did your parents ever explain to you how bad it is for you to lie???

Bill ,it useless healey would defend obama to your death, not his . He has drank long and hard from the jug of kool aid and saint obama can do no wrong in his eyes.

C'mon Mike, give it up. Even Obama's henchmen are fessing up as to what was said. And everyone in the administration blamed it on the year old video for over a week.

If a partisan like Beckel says it may be over…look out!
His ever so modest defection may be one of more to come from the Clinton machine, now that Bill has signaled his displeasure with Obama. It is no skin off his nose if Obama loses, he hates him anyway, and Hillary has to wait four years before she can run whether Obama is in the White House or Romney, so why not undercut the Obama machine now and keep it from being a force to be reckoned with in 2016?

Bill is a weasel, no question about it, but he is only interested in Hillary getting him back in the White House…period, end of story.

Can you blame Mr Stevens for being worried after Republicans cut funding for Embassy security by $500,000,000?

Oedipus, please tell us what budget that the Democrat led Senate and democrat President passed into law that cut embassy spending by 500 million.

Terror? Involving a Muslim perpetrator??? No, No, No. God Obama said that was an incident of "workplace violence". Now fall in line, take a big swig of the Kool-Aid and repeat after me........"The Fort Hood shooting was simply workplace violence carried out by a peace-loving Muslim who, in an isolated incident, became confused." See, it had nothing to do with terror. (Now, wouldn't I make a good liberal?)

wrong ,liberals have no brains , you cant keep pushing the underfunded security theory when it has been debunked for weeks now. The state dept told the committee that funding had nothing to do with the Libya embassy security problems , but keep trying, perhaps the ofa bedazzle team will email you parrobots a new line for the upcoming week.

Oedipus, what budget cut security spending by 500 million at the Embassies. Did President Obama sign a budget into law that we are unaware of?

Exactly Jim, libs have no brains and no spine. If they did they wouldn't allow conservatives to run roughshod over them time and time again. They would man up. If Romney wins and the Dems keep the Senate they would refuse to bring any Repub/Romney bills to the floor, if the Repubs take back the Senate they would filibuster every last bill in the Senate that has anything to do with Romney's agenda. That way they could say "Romney's a failure". As far as I'm concerned I'm gonna give Mitt twice as much time as the radicals on the right gave President Obama so if, by Feb 1st, there aren't 5 million new jobs, unemployment isn't below 5%, Iran isn't denucularized, the budget isn't balanced, the debt isn't gone, the USA isn't 100% energy independent, all illegal immigrants aren't gone, etc etc etc, Romney will be a complete failure. But I think you already know he's a failure.

Oedipus, you disapoint me. Tell us, what budget cut funding for embassy security by 500 million?

SV, you mean you don't keep up with the news? Yeah, the radical Repubs slashed almost $500,000,000 from the State Dept's Embassy funding requests. House Republicans cut the Obama administration’s request for embassy security funding by $128 million in 2011, and $331 million this year. It takes “a big set of onions” and a lot of cynicism to cut funding for diplomatic security—and then exploit a tragedy to score points in the midst of a presidential campaign.

News Flash

If you don't mind me adding to your statement a bit, the four Americans killed in Benghazi were considered "on American soil".

Terrorists have attacked America in Oklahoma City also, they have also attacked and killed Americans at untold numbers of women's reproductive health care clinics around the country. Terrorists also attacked American at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta and at discos there. Terrorists have also destroyed and vandalized places of worship and have murdered Americans solely due to the color of their skin. All these terrorist acts were committed by American terrorists on Americans.
Muslim terrorists also attacked US Marines in 1983 in Beirut and St Ronald of Reagan tucked his tail between his legs and ran back home which is what has emboldened foreign terrorists to test our mettle, let's place the blame for the mess we are in where it belongs, on the foreign policy and security failures of St Ronald and Little George. BTW Being you're such a Patriot NF I'll bet Beirut was an attack you have probably forgotten about until I just mentioned it.
Anyway what's your point? If you have one.

News Flash-Now that the intelligence agencies have come forward, the "Obama lied" narrative has been squashed. Even Faux is backtracking.

Jejune, wonderful word. Heven't used that in a sentence since 7th grade.

In seventh grade, I'm sure your parents were already fomenting the rage inside to become the Republican you are, Salem.

FTP, so little you know about my values or my upbringing. There is no rage, no hatred, just my observations. At least I passed the 7th grade and many subsequent grades after that and was not simply pushed along like you have demonstrated in your various diatribes.
Why do a majority of posters on this site from the left always respond with vitriol. You back yourselves into undefensable positions and then scream out liar to anyone who offers a rational retort.

Why do you ignore facts, distort facts, can't admit when you are completely wrong (remember the "you didn't build that" you tried to lie about?), and outright lie?

Because that's what Republicans do. You have to be an angry person who hates other people in order to be a Republican. You have to be a bigot to be a Republican. That's the only way you can take away rights from average Americans, and if that means serving the wealthy well that's just payment, isn't it?

FTP, what rights are the Republicans taking away from the average American. Please be specific and construct your argument to describe why it is a right and how the Republicans are taking it away.
Regarding "If you have a business....you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen". I think I have been very clear on this issue. I believe, and still believe, the context of what the President said was that people are not smarter or more successeful because they work harder, and that their success is dependent upon other people. You belive otherwise...did I call you a liar?

Salem, you said at the time that Obama meant you didn't build your business. And then you admitted later that it was out of context and a soundbite, and that what he actually said was that you didn't build the infrastructure of the country which allowed your business to thrive (roads, bridges, digital infrastructure, etc.). This is only after your failed attempt at correlating those comments with what Fox news told you to. You lied, you got caught.

And as far as taking rights away, how about gay rights? How about abortion rights? How about birth control? How about affirmative action? How about healthcare? How about immigration reform? These are all things Republicans stir people up into a frenzy on, shouting about Jesus this and God that, oh praise Jesus and vote for me because I will be sure to punish all who care for the poor. Isn't that right? The great missing link of the Christian right nowadays is actually caring for other people. It's a travesty, and it plagues your political party. If it's anything I can't stand, it's a political platform that uses the Bible to push their agenda.

And you know what it really is? It's just rich men funneling more money to the 1% by convincing low information voters that they should be angry and scared. They throw you a social conservative bone in fair trade for kickbacks to the wealthy. And you will find that selling out your fellow Americans will be selling out yourself, too.

Tammy,

The "what they knew and when they knew it" in regards to the Benghazi attack is not nearly as disconcerting as the administration ignoring the fact that the lives of the Ambassador and three other American were in eminent danger. No one would have had a better sense of the danger better than Ambassador Stevens. And yet his requests and pleas for increased security went ignored. This never should have happened.

Jack, nobody wants to see the traitor reelected more than our enemies, he did the same in 2008 and got away with it , nobody liked being called a racist, so he figured he got away with it in 2008,he should be able to get away with it in 2012. Look for him to cut a deal with iran just in time for the elections, iran wants him reelected more than anyone ,they know he will never oppose them militarily and will never help Israel stop iran ,plus he promised the Russians he would throw America and our defence system under the bus if he was reelected, so I'm sure they are contributing to his reelection too

I don't know how you did it JIM but you found out the truth about Barack the Magic Negro. You're right, he is a foreign born muslim as well as a Marxist, fascist, socialist, nazi, commie, Leninist, liberal America hater. In fact he is also the de facto leader of al Qaeda, was the mastermind behind 911 and is bent on enslaving Americans and destroying the world!!!!!! I don't know how you found out but if I were you, news flash, Jack, salemvoter, dumpobama or okeeffe I would be watching my back locking my doors and carrying a gun and a knife at all times because Obama knows who his enemies are and he usually gets to them. Stay safe my friend, I'll be praying to the flying spaghetti monster in the sky for your salvation from the evil ways of Obama.

opie , how did you find out he was foreign born ? his fake computer generated BC says he was born in Hawaii and we are still waiting to see the micro film to put that issue to rest,but I suppose we will have to wait till the trial to see it.
As for everything else your right on the mark, but the best way to sum up obama is your last statement ,American hater.
Spaghetti monster ...thats funny , just say the obama prayer instead.

the obama prayer as told by the MARXISTS to the MASSES

THE OBAMA PRAYER

FOOL.... Thou shalt not denigrate the Anointed one , make no joke or in any way disagree with he who is your Savior, ye shall know thee Almighty's name by watching TV and the Golf channel and seeing his likeness everywhere, he who hath no Birth Certificate because of his Immaculate Deception, shall be looked upon as your Lord and Savior, maker of the laws and regulations, He who shall be the taker from one and the giver to another, ye shall look to no other as your Lord, for he is all knowing and not forgiving, tread lightly in his presence or ye shall find yourself burning in the hell fires with the rest of ye Racist brethren..now go forth, and make ye self prosperous, so that he may taketh your profits and giveth them to those who shall not getth off their ass's and do so for themselves...

Not only Chavez, Castro and Putin but Lenin, Marx, Hitler, Mussolini, Pol Pot, Idi Amin, Saddam Hussein, Moammar Qaddafi, Stalin, Ivan the Terrible, Rasputin and Jimmy Carter. Sounds like a winning formula to me!
The only endorsement Mr Romney has is from his magic Mormon underwear and God on planet Kolob. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolob

Using your pretzel logic JIM, Mr Bush killed 3000 people in Manhattan on 911.

They asked for help 3 times and were denied.

As if you give a crap about any of the dead. You're happy they died so you could criticize Obama. Please stop your gleeful dancing on the graves of these fine young men.

Oedipus,

If News Flash sincerely gave a cr*p about any of the dead he would of expressed it better by saying that four dead Americans was not an optimal outcome in a bump in the road like Benghazi--and then go back to finding videos on YouTube---

Soundbites, hilltop. Did you even watch the interview? I did. Just like newsflash, you are exploiting dead Americans just to criticize the president and push your agenda. Disgusting.

It doesn't matter what News Flash or any of us in this forum think about the tragic deaths in Libya. What does matter is how the administration thinks about the deaths and the actions they have taken to safeguard diplomats and American citizens worldwide.
It is becoming obvious that the administartion did not give a cr*p about the security of its diplomats in Libya and considers their deaths as "bumps in the road" on the way to reelection.

FTP,

Soundbites of what was said at the time, by an individual who chose those words to describe the deaths and downplay the situation. Since when can Presidents not be crticized? Since when can individual not have an opinion and not be free to express it just because you or others don't agree with it? Now when that happens, then it can be called disgusting.
