Romney calls Obama administration response to Libya attacks ‘disgraceful’


Barack Obama, the State Dept., and Hilary Clinton herself, first apologized for the film.

I don't think they have changed course since then.

So, it is true, their first act was to apologize to our enemies.

The fact that the Jihadist attack was successful (for the Jihadist standpoint) and they actually killed one of our Ambassadors does not change anything. That is no reason to rescind an apology, if Obama thought one was necessary in the first place.

What would be the logic? Would it be, "We sympathize with the reasons for your attack on us, but deplore your accuracy?"

That is absurd.

Fuck Obama. He loves our enemies.

Get him the fuck out of office.

From the Washington Post:

In a statement Tuesday night, Mitt Romney accused the Obama administration of sympathizing with the Libyan protesters who attacked a consulate in Benghazi, killing the U.S. ambassador and three other American diplomats.  
“I’m outraged by the attacks on American diplomatic missions in Libya and Egypt and by the death of an American consulate worker in Benghazi,” Romney said. “It’s disgraceful that the Obama Administration’s first response was not to condemn attacks on our diplomatic missions, but to sympathize with those who waged the attacks.” 
Romney’s remarks came before the White House confirmed Wednesday morning that U.S. ambassador to Libya, John Christopher Stevens, was among those killed in the Benghazi attack. 
Romney foreign policy adviser Rich Williamson told Foreign Policy magazine Tuesday evening, before the deaths were reported, that the attacks were related to Obama’s “failure to be an effective leader for U.S. interests in the Middle East.” 
Romney has often tried to sharpen the contrast between his foreign policy and Obama’s by  arguing that the president is apologetic towards America’s enemies. 
Obama spokesman Ben LaBolt responded a few hours later that it was Romney who was out of line. “We are shocked that, at a time when the United States of America is confronting the tragic death of one of our diplomatic officers in Libya, Governor Romney would choose to launch a political attack,” he said. 
Protests in Libya and Egypt appear to have been sparked by clips of a film produced by Sam Bacile, a California real estate developer who calls himself an Israeli Jew. The film calls the prophet Muhammad a fraud and depicts him having sex; pieces of the film were put on YouTube and showed on a Cairo television station. 
Sam Bacile is a hero of Western Civilization. Thank God for Sam Bacile.
