5. The Obama administration, not the Romney campaign, bungled its message.

When the White House sends a message to reporters that it does not agree with the language used by the U.S. Embassy, but the State Department reiterates very similar language, there is a contradiction that must be explained. Meanwhile, Romney stated clearly what has been always been his foreign policy. Yet he is accused of a “gaffe.”

Do not expect the mainstream media to correct these mistakes. Do not expect them to hold the Obama administration accountable. Do not expect them to correct themselves once they have some disgruntled Republicans to affirm their overall narrative. Do not expect them to remember this is an election, in which the opposition has the right--the obligation--to state its views. Do not expect them to stand up for free speech--or truth.

But do note that Romney stayed to answer journalists’ questions, while Obama refused, ducking out to attend a fundraiser in Las Vegas. Romney is effectively the leader of the free world today, the man whose principled reaction to events expressed what ought to be--and used to be--the minimum Americans expect of their president.

That we still cherish and enjoy our free press is no thanks to Obama--or the media that protect him.

According to senior diplomatic sources, the US State Department had credible information 48 hours before mobs charged the consulate in Benghazi, and the embassy in Cairo, that American missions may be targeted, but no warnings were given for diplomats to go on high alert and "lockdown", under which movement is severely restricted.

He knew exactly what he wanted to say, facts be damned. Did anyone notice that he was smiling through most of this? Deep down inside he was brimming with glee that he had the opportunity to get a slam in against Obama.

He saw the attacks as a political opportunity, nothing else. That's the problem when you get most of your foreign policy advice from the likes of John Bolton. Shoot first and aim later. I saw this for what it was, a shameless attempt to politicize the deaths of four people serving our country

I think deep down inside he was mocking the idiocy of the reporters who ask him tough questions like he's the president or something while Obama and his State Dept. keep making fools of themselves. But that's just me.

BTW, in the midst of this tragedy Obama seized the opportunity to get a slam in against Romney before he condemned the actual attackers. So presidential.



You realize you just described the entire Democrat Party's modus operandi from 2004-2008, and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan?
