I remember that day. Reagan was wonderful. Unlike Libya, Lebanon had never been a problem and the attack came as a complete surprise.

He didn't leave Americans unprotected in a known violent, heavily armed islamic hell hole like Libya. That would be unthinkable for any President... but the current one.

Obama's "Arab Spring" in Flames: Is Preparing for a Long Siege of Arab Unrest


By PETER BAKER
MARK LANDLER
Published: September 15, 2012

Followers of Ansar al-Sharia burned the American flag in Benghazi, Libya, on Friday.

WASHINGTON — After days of anti-American violence across the Muslim world, the White House is girding itself for an extended period of turmoil that will test the security of American diplomatic missions and President Obama’s ability to shape the forces of change in the Middle East.

While pressing Arab leaders to tamp down the unrest, Mr. Obama’s advisers say they may have to consider whether to scale back diplomatic activities in the region.

The upheaval over an anti-Islam video has suddenly become Mr. Obama’s most serious foreign policy crisis of the election season, and a range of analysts say it presents questions about central tenets of his Middle East policy: Did he do enough during the Arab Spring to help the transition to democracy from autocracy? Has he drawn a hard enough line against Islamic extremists? Did his administration fail to address security concerns?

These questions come at an inopportune time domestically as Mr. Obama enters the fall campaign with a small lead in polls. His policies escaped serious scrutiny in the initial days after the attack that killed four Americans in Libya last week due to media bias caught on tape.

White House officials said they recognized that if not for the press attacking Mr. Romney’s statement, they would have been the ones on the defensive.

Images from the past week of American flags being torn down and burned, an Islamic flag being raised and embassies being overrun by angry mobs introduce a volatile element into a re-election effort in which foreign policy has been a strength. Some critics and commentators were already evoking the images of the Iranian hostage crisis that doomed another presidency.

Jimmy Carter's.

Irony as Obama's Apology Tour Started In Cairo

Mr. Obama came to office vowing to recalibrate America’s relationship with the Muslim world after the Iraq war and gave a high-profile speech in Cairo outlining a new era of fraternity.

“Instead of Obama being the successful guy that got Bin Laden, we’re talking about Obama as the second coming of Jimmy Carter, and that’s not something the campaign wants to see.”

His citing of Libya as a model of transition now looks suspect, and the United States has been powerless to stop a bloody crackdown in Syria.

The Obama LIES just keep coming

Despite the new government formed by the Muslim Brotherhood, the Obama Administration officials say the people in the streets are not the ones who won the elections, but those who lost, and that the new governments largely have condemned the violence.

The Filthy Bastard Obama Campaigns On and On and On in Las Vegas!



The twin challenges of dealing with the crisis overseas and the politics of it at home overlap in complicated and uncomfortable ways. Just hours after mourning in the Rose Garden last Wednesday for American victims of a Libyan attack, Mr. Obama flew off to a Las Vegas campaign event. After meeting their flag-draped coffins at Joint Base Andrews on Friday, he headed to Democratic headquarters for campaign meetings and then to an evening fund-raiser.

Obama caught in another LIE as Libyan president states:'No doubt' attack 'preplanned'
By KEVIN CIRILLI
9/16/12
Libya President Mohamed Yousef El-Magariaf said Sunday that 50 arrests have been made in connection with last week's "preplanned" attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi that left U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans dead.
"The way these perpetrators acted and moved -- I think we, and they're choosing the specific date for this so-called demonstration, I think we have no, this leaves us with no doubt that this was pre-planned, determined," Magariaf said on CBS's "Face the Nation."
"And you believe that this was the work of Al Qaeda, and you believe that it was led by foreigners. Is that what you’re telling us?" CBS host Bob Schieffer asked.
"It was planned, definitely. It was planned by foreigners, by people who entered the country a few months ago. And they were planning this criminal act since their arrival," Magariaf said.
The Obama campaign has claimed these Attacks were spontaneous and due to a youtube video.

Hee Hee......the You Tube video came on line two months ago in JULY. Wolf Blitzer needs to take a course in effective Lying. He looks like a deer in the headlights when he tries to cover for Obama. It's a Hoot. Maybe a weekend with Chris Matthews or Andrea Mitchell would help him learn to lie with a straight face.

The Obama apologists are just pathetic on this one.

Another Obama Failure as Tunisia is Overrun



In his weekly address on Saturday, Mr. Obama referred to American anxieties about the unrest.“I know the images on our televisions are disturbing,” he said.“But let us never forget that for every angry mob, there are millions who yearn for the freedom and dignity and hope that our flag represents.”

During marathon meetings at the White House since the killings of American diplomatic officials in Benghazi, officials have tried to anticipate the next developments and contemplate a response. But they were surprised when an American-run school was ransacked in Tunisia, which they considered a successful transition.

Barack Hussein Obama looks for Scapegoat in the Mirror: Whoa is Me!


Mr. Romney characterizes Mr. Obama’s approach to the Arab Spring as naïve and apologetic, and his campaign has criticized the president as not being supportive enough of Israel.

In recent days, Republican critics like former Vice President Dick Cheney have opened up a new line of attack by accusing Mr. Obama of not paying enough attention to intelligence briefings. Mr. Obama receives the briefing in writing every day, but does not always sit down for an oral presentation, as President George W. Bush did.“The hubris of a president who believes he does not need to meet regularly with them is astounding,” Marc Thiessen, a former speechwriter for Mr. Bush, wrote in The Washington Post.

Some analysts pointed to Obama's failure to make progress between the Israelis and the Palestinians.“You didn’t have a track record to use with these Arab elites to say,‘We’re doing the right things,’” said Daniel C. Kurtzer, a former ambassador to Egypt and Israel who teaches at Princeton.

Mr Obama calling for 1967 Israeli borders also looked like Amateur Hour.

Over the last week, Mr. Rubin said, Mr. Obama suffered from an intelligence breakdown, much as Mr. Bush did before the Iraq war.“That’s not Obama’s fault,” he said,“but it’s going to make him look weak because he’s the one sitting in the Oval Office.”

How fitting that someone that built his entire political career using circumstances against his opponents finds himself in the hot seat as his pet policies are all but up in flames.

THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD, Barack's friends, WAS FIRST FINANCED AND AIDED BY HITLER. Languishing at 10000 members originally, the MB grew to millions with the assistance of Hitler. MB led the growth of its anti-semitic ideology to Al Queda and Hamas. Valerie Jarrett no coincidence is Barack's right hand man and Iranian though born here. She is a muslim Iranian american who as Barack hates Jews and Israel. Barack only a few months ago insisted that Iran was a small country and of no danger to Israel and the US. We now that was false and a lie.

Remember that on the occasion of a 2008 campaign trip he made to Germany of all places to campaign for US presidency, he asked to deliver his speech at the Berlin Gates where Hitler proclaimed victory over Jews. We've arrived at this point at the precipice of Islam take over of the entire middle east and further encroachment with the traitorous enabler Barack Hussein Obama. He is guided not by love of Americans or blacks but a hate of all things Jewish and American. Muslim influences breed hate of women and Jews. Yet they have been brainwashed by Barack to believe he represents their interests. God help the country. GET THE WORD OUT TO THESE PEOPLE!

The Obama motive(s)

The reshaping of the geopolitical structure was done at the hands of Obama by design. To understand the reasons behind it, one must understand exactly who Obama is, understand his roots and origins, his proclivities and biases, which will then reveal not only his motives, but the intentions of the people who groomed him to take the seat of U.S. power. As everyone knows, we’ve got a major problem with this as the American people have been denied access to the most basic documentation about Obama’s past, from his actual birth certificate to his college and passport records.

It is important to understand that the reason for sealing off Obama’s past is to prevent people from seeing the larger agenda of the man and the people who rose in an inexplicable meteoric fashion to the highest levels of public office. Not only have we been denied the most basic access to his records and background, the top levels of our government have been concurrently infiltrated by both members of the Muslim Brotherhood and card-carrying members of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) under his watch and with his imprimatur. While this did not begin under his watch, the process was exponentially and even overtly increased to unbelievable levels the minute he assumed office.

Lacking his bona fides, We can learn much about Obama from the company he keeps, such as his advisors and associates. Valerie Jarrett, Obama’s most visible handler, has a personal stake in the outcome of Middle East events to the point of actively shaping them.

Attention you bloated wolf tick!!! What you are experiencing scooter is what we call delusions. You're really not seeing bugs you're actually seeing facts and those facts are what your tiny mind does not want to absorb. The dumb cells in your mind protect themselves by projecting images of bugs to scare you away from logic, common sense, honor, etc. You've really got it bad scooter and calling the Terminix man might earn you a trip to the funny farm when he finds no bugs. When the Terminix man arrives you let him see this post and I'll vouch that you're more of a menace to yourself than to society, scooter.

YES.

The Same Muslim Brotherhood that Obama GAVE $1.5 BILLION US DOLLARS to was and Is the Same Muslim Brotherhood that Osama Bin Laden was a prominent member along with most of Al-Qaida.




No doubt about it. Obama is an Epic Failure.

Yer an idjit

Had YOU been around in 1983, you'd remember,(if you had the capacity to) that the Beirut Barracks Suicide Bombing was a new phenomenon. You'd realize that we had to get our troops out of the way while we figured out what had happened and how to avert it in the future. Each and every time a new weapon or tactic has been used, the correct response has been to withdraw and assess, not to plunge forward headlong, exacerbating the situation, facing probable decimation. What happened? Why did it happen? Who caused it? How can this be averted? Not things that can be handily answered by needlessly tossing in more bodies.
