    They all do it,,hopefully with some discretion though. We lost lives here, this was nothing to play with in my opinion, and it was purely political,,no reason for it. He had his entire administration lying, for days. There are some things that are just too obvious, he damaged his own party with this and I'm sure there were plenty in the party that disagreed with him.

    Maybe you are brave enough to explain why someone who was trying to tell America we were attacked by terrorist would do this, all your other Lib pal's ran from this like the plague will you avoid this as well or will you give us a logical explanation?????

    Explain why he presented it to the UN in the way he did, and above all why did he send Susan Rice to no less than 4 morning shows telling people it was a you tube video and a demonstration that got out of control.

    Good post,,here is the part you are refering too

    ''Since our founding, the United States has been a nation that respects all faiths. We reject all efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. But there is absolutely no justification to this type of senseless violence. None. The world must stand together to unequivocally reject these brutal acts.''


    Now it's very clear what the speech was about, he set the tone right there..''denigrate the religious beliefs of others'' He was talking about the tape,,,what else?, especially since he had his administration blabbing about it all over.

    Well, you know the saying, in a democracy you get what you choose. Do you believe his successor will be any better. ?

    He wasn't the only one by far,,Candy knew exactly what she was doing. Not only did she help him,,[which she is not supposed to do, she backed up the Lie.
    This is a smart woman, and as I said in the other post any person with a brain knew what the President was talking about when he said..
    ''Since our founding, the United States has been a nation that respects all faiths. We reject all efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. But there is absolutely no justification to this type of senseless violence. None. The world must stand together to unequivocally reject these brutal acts.''

    This backs up the lie he intended to spread, she knew it but went with the ''play'' on words, she covered him. I feel in a way bad for her, blemishing what has been known to be a honest, professional career over her ideology. She tried, but can never walk this back, her days of moderating are over.

    Um, because that's what he knew at the time.

    Here's the thing. He believed at the time that the video was the cause and STILL said it was an act of terror. Is it your opinion that had he not thought the video was the cause he wouldn't have called it an act of terror?

    Face it, Romney looked like a fool in a national debate and there is no defense for that. The President knew what he said in the Rose Garden and was more than happy to let Romney put his foot in his mouth. "Please continue governor." Classic!!

    With honesty? not sure. Surely we have had politicians with more character than others, cant say for sure though.

    I like Obama's social views,,Gay marriage for one, and although not a advocate of abortion I certainly do not want to force my views on others.
    These are good things, right now the country needs a man like Romney, we have needed him for a long time. There are so many things you can not even begin to look at if your people are suffering financially, we need a strong middle class, and Obama just cant deliver.

    He's a nice guy and very intelligent, but the wrong guy at the wrong time for the job at hand.

    Unlike you, I find it hard to be an optimist rearding US Presidential candidates . Whatever promises Romney is now making , I doubt whether there'll be a major shift /improvement in America's economy during the next decade + beyond , as long as america consumes more than its capable of producing.
    I doubt Romney or any US President can avoid america's inevitable further economic decline.

    Brace yourself for worse to come, the good times ain't gonna come back.

    Romney is the last thing America needs. Conservatism is bad news.

    He had his UN ambassador and White House spokesman do all the lies for him. And referring to "no act of terror" is not referring to "AN act of terror". It is instead referring to any and all acts of terror.

    Including what happened in Benghazi. Therefore he said the embassy attack in Benghazi was an act of terror. The English language is more sophisticated than requiring one to say "the attack on our embassy in Benghazi was an act of terror," in order for one to say exactly that.

    Seriously, there are only a handful of you that are unwilling to concede this. Good on the others for letting truth in.

    Pbama blamed the attack on a video. For 2 weeks. Though he said he didn't want to "speak to something" without knowing all the facts. Though intelligence and common sense said the attack was a planned terrorist attack and not spontaneous from the very first few hours.

    And despite the media's help, pbama's poll numbers are tanking because of his lies. People don't need a news article to tell them what pbama said. They heard it. Over and over for 2 weeks they heard it.

    Obama at the UN was clearly explaining to the muslim world at large what american values were all about. He refered to video because of the rioting happening around the world. He was clear in his explanation of american religious freedom, AND freedom of speech. He made it a point to denounce the video, because unfortunately the muslim world is used to the government controlling all media etc. He used it as a "teaching moment". And he did a dam good job.

    It seems that today's republican party and more importantly its strategists and marketers have become increasingly semantically challenged over the past couple of years.

    Take for instance this totally erroneous republican meme about Obama and his "apology tour" and all the times Obama has apologized for america. Never happened, not even remotely, but I'd bet if you polled republicans there would be even more that said he had than think hes a muslim.'

    I can think of any number of reasons to not directly refer to the attack's causes over the followoing couple of weeks. It was clear it was a terrorist attack right almost right from the start - nobody brings RPGs to protests. However, and its just starting to come out amongst the cloud of misinformation, rush to judgement and conspiracy/cover up accusations .

    The "consulate" wasn't an official diplomatic residence, it was the temporary rental of pretty nice house with an annex that housed a CIA station. Apparently there was a probing rocket attack on the annex to guage response - why? Why did the CIA immediately evacuate, without even securing the destroyed consulate? What exactly was the ambassador doing there without sufficient protection on sept 11, when he already had fears about security - it was a house with a mud wall around it. What exactly was the CIA doing in that station.

    By not officially decrying the attack as terrorist on the sunday talk shows, its because they didn't want the terrorists to think they had gained the PR victory as well. Yes they watch the US media closely. Without clear recognition its possible the terrorist hubris would make them take credit for the attack - thereby clearly identifying those responsible.

    I don't know what really happened, I am merely presenting some plausible alternatives to righty's rush to judgement of some sort of cover up.

    Why re obama's poll numbers tanking because of lies?

    Look at all the lies coming out of Mitt's mouth. All of the walk backs his campaign has had to issue in the past couple of months. His flip flops on key social and domestic issues, his unattainable economic plan. It amazes me that the right gives this guy a pass on his snake oil salesman approach to politics by saying whatever he thinks his audience wants to hear. It either that, or he doesnt' believe in the published republican platform and keeps forgetting what it says.

    It’s my opinion that he tried to cover up a terrorist attack on the USA on the Anniversary of 9/11 even though within 24 hours of the attack they received cables that is was most likely a terrorist attack. Some very telling evidence of this will be in the news tonight.
    In terms of the Rose Garden speech he did not know and that is not a problem, I merely take issue with the whack jobs that don’t understand the difference between Terror and Terrorism. Obombya in no way shape or form was implying that Benghazi was a terrorist attack at that time and in fact the adim made every possible effort for two weeks to try and convince this country and the entire world that it was over a You Tube video and a demonstration gone bad fully knowing within 72 hours of the attack that these were heavily armed militants with Grenades, RPG’s and even a Sub Machine Gun. Sorry Libs but Americans just aren’t that stupid!

    You’re going to have to list them, but yes they all lie or shall we say can’t deliver their promises. The trick is how blatant was the lie and or what circumstances caused them not to deliver. In the case of Benghazi he was trying to cover this up for purely political gain and that just isn’t going to fly with Americans that have to watch their Ambassador sodomized and dragged through the streets of Benghazi.
    It also won’t fly economically this country is hurting and we just wasted 4 years watching everything Obama ran on fail.
