Obama sent this message and image out on Twitter:President Obama ordered the raid on Osama bin Laden’s compound, eliminating the man responsible for the 9/11 attacks: pic.twitter.com/Ok6WTP9D
This is the 11th hour message from Obama's campaign?
Oh, good grief.
What a gutsy call!
GIVE ME A BREAK!
If Obama and his hacks think that this election is about bin Laden, they're delusional.
Ask anyone out of work or underemployed, if they had to choose between getting a job and "eliminating" bin Laden, which would they want?
If Obama wants credit for killing bin Laden, then he damn well should take responsibility for what happened in Benghazi on 9/11/12, and cough up the freaking truth already.
Ann Romney appeared on The View this morning.
Needless to say, The View's liberal cabal didn't go easy on Mrs. Romney.
From FOX News:Whoopi Goldberg barely let Ann Romney settle into her seat on ABC's "The View" before pouncing on the first lady hopeful, asking why Mitt Romney didn't serve in Vietnam and if the couple is prepared to console families of fallen soldiers if voted into the White House.
Unlike a recent joint appearance on the show by President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama during which questioning ranged from how romantic is the president to the couple's anniversary, the show's five hosts skipped the softball questions and got right into red meat — including military service, abortion and the Romneys' Mormon faith.
When the Obamas' appearance aired on Sept. 25, the panel stuck to questions about the First Couple's 20th wedding anniversary and whether or not President Obama is "romantic," though they did query Obama lightly about the murder of U.S. Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens, which the president declined to characterize at the time as an act of terrorism.
Romney, 63, clad in a red dress and gold jewelry, was initially scheduled to appear with her husband, who backed out citing a scheduling conflict, according to host Barbara Walters. But his wife deftly deflected her husband's description of the female klatch as "sharp-tongued," saying the candidate called the women "sharp and young." Moments later, Goldberg asked Romney if her husband's Mormon faith precluded him or their five sons from serving in the military and whether the Romneys would be prepared to console relatives of fallen U.S. soldiers. Many Mormons serve in the military and the faith does not bar them from doing so.
“He was serving his mission and my five sons also served [on] missions,” Ann Romney replied. “We find different ways of serving.”
Asked how she would explain to relatives of the fallen soldiers that her sons did not serve in the U.S. military, she continued, "I would say it’s the hardest thing that a president and a first lady can do. We have the most extraordinary fighting men and women and we have to be grateful for them.”
Walters grilled Romney on abortion, and stem cell research, but noted she is not the one running for office.
“I am pro-life and I’m happy to say that,” said Ann Romney when asked by Walters if her thoughts on the issue changed like her husband of 43 years. “When a decision came across his desk to use embryos for experimentation, he could not have, on his conscience, created human life for experimentation.
“The most important thing we can do is have respect for each other in this dialogue. This is a tender, tender issue”
Following Walters’ initial question on abortion, co-host Joy Behar asked Ann Romney about women’s access to contraception, prompting Romney to say: “I would love if you could get my husband on the couch, Joy.”
Romney continued: “What I know is I am here to reflect the character of the person I know. Every decision he will make … [will be based on] is this is the best thing for America to go forward? I think I know where his heart is.”
This really pisses me off.
The Leftists have been bitching about the lack of military service by Mitt Romney and his sons since the 2008 campaign.
Read about Mike Wallace accusing Mitt and sons of being chicken hawks in a 2007 interview on 60 Minutes.
Did Whoopi Goldberg grill Obama the Hawk about his lack of service?
He's the one bragging about killing Osama bin Laden and hunting down terrorists. He's the one shamelessly trying to score political points by constantly referring to greeting the coffins of terrorism victims and our war dead.
Why didn't Obama serve? Why didn't Michelle serve?
Michelle has been yapping incessantly about how much she cares for our military.
Why didn't Michelle enlist? What stopped her?
Did Whoopi ask?
No way.
It's disgraceful.
Ann Romney is so classly and so smart. She can handle the Leftist old bitties on The View. She did handle their swipes beautifully, with dignity and humor and grace.
Just by being herself, Mrs. Romney made Goldberg, Walters, and the others in the cabal look cheap and small and desperate.
Here's video of Goldberg questioning Mrs. Romney.
Hey, Whoopi! How does Obama talk to mothers of the dead without explaining to them that he hasn't served?More video here.
Before tonight's big debate, it was important for Obama to have someone to blame for the 9/11/12 terrorist attack in Benghazi that left Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans dead.
Hillary Clinton is taking responsibility, sort of. She is, but she isn't.
From CNN:Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Monday tried to douse a political firestorm over the deadly assault on a U.S. diplomatic mission in Libya, saying she's responsible for the security of American diplomatic outposts.
"I take responsibility," Clinton said during a visit to Peru. "I'm in charge of the State Department's 60,000-plus people all over the world, 275 posts. The president and the vice president wouldn't be knowledgeable about specific decisions that are made by security professionals. They're the ones who weigh all of the threats and the risks and the needs and make a considered decision."
But she said an investigation now under way will ultimately determine what happened at the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, where Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans were killed on September 11.
"I take this very personally," Clinton said. "So we're going to get to the bottom of it, and then we're going to do everything we can to work to prevent it from happening again, and then we're going to work to bring whoever did this to us to justice."
..."In the wake of an attack like this, in the fog of war, there's always going to be confusion," Clinton said. "And I think it is absolutely fair to say that everyone had the same intelligence. Everyone who spoke tried to give the information that they had. As time has gone on, that information has changed. We've gotten more detail, but that's not surprising. That always happens."
She added, "What I want to avoid is some kind of political gotcha or blame game."
"I know that we're very close to an election," Clinton said. "I want to just take a step back here and say from my own experience, we are at our best as Americans when we pull together. I've done that with Democratic presidents and Republican presidents."
Her remarks drew a quick response from three Republicans on the Senate Armed Services Committee, including ranking member John McCain.
Clinton's statement of responsibility was "a laudable gesture, especially when the White House is trying to avoid any responsibility whatsoever," the Arizona senator said in a joint broadside with Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire. However, they added, "The security of Americans serving our nation everywhere in the world is ultimately the job of the commander-in-chief. The buck stops there."
Hillary is temporarily taking responsibility, qualifying that there's confusion "in the fog of war," blah, blah, blah.
Once again, Hillary is standing by her man. This time, she's providing excuses for Obama.
I suspect she agreed to give Obama some cover now with the promise that eventually she would be cleared, but it still reflects poorly on Hillary.
We have a doormat as secretary of state and a sleazy, ineffective president.
Actually, Hillary is sticking to the same old lines/lies from the White House. Information has changed as they've learned more about the deadly attack. They are still insisting there was no cover-up, hoping we'll be willing to disregard the facts and the timeline.
She's also regurgitating the old "Americans need to pull together" crap, in an attempt to put the topic off limits.
That's incredibly self-serving. Democrats didn't "pull together" for the sake of the country after 9/11. They undermined President Bush at every turn, while engaging in CYA.
Hillary says she wants to avoid a "political gotcha or blame game."
Sure. More specifically, Obama wants to be able to avoid taking responsibility for his failures.
Of course, Hillary declares that there should be no blame game, allowing her to frame holding Obama and his administration accountable as an unpatriotic act.
The fact is the death of Osama bin Laden was not the end of al Qaeda and the terrorist threat. Islamists still hate us and want us dead. Obama's alleged "gutsy call" didn't put an end to the Islamists' war against the U.S. They are still killing Americans.
This "Osama's dead and GM is alive" mantra doesn't cut it. Bin Laden was killed on Obama's watch. That's true enough, but four Americans were also killed on his watch, in a plot timed for the 9/11 anniversary.
The "it was the video" lies, two weeks of lie after lie, can't be erased by Hillary making this statement on the eve of the debate.
Obama is such a coward. Americans are dead and he's trying to dodge responsibility. That is truly disgusting. It speaks to Obama's character, his shamelessness, and his poor leadership.
