Will 0bama continue to lie about Libya?

The White House phone rang at 3AM and 0bama turned off the ringer.

,

Romney should ask how many intel briefings 0bama skipped the week before the terrorist attack. 6, the answer we are looking for is 6.

Republicans don't care anything about their candidate telling the truth, which is why they mistakenly voted for GWB, twice, even after Republicans knew that Bush had lied us into war.

On 9/11 of this year, our Libyan Ambassador Chris Stevens and 3 other Americans (2 were Marines) were raped, murdered and killed in Benghazi. Their bodies were dragged through the streets. Yet Obama still campaigned and went on a talk show on 9/11 when this evil act had been committed. And, it was a talkshow called "Pimp with a Limp" in Miami. Now, he has the nerve to call the Benghazi incident a "Bump in the Road" an "Not Optimal?" Poor decision, Obama.

That is one of the MANY reasons you will pay the price on November 6th.

What's SAD is that anyone thinks that Willard has any foreign policy views... that is with the exception of the same "Cowboy" diplomacy that created 10+ years of WAR!!!

Willard and Ryan are the creators of the problems of this nation and anyone who votes for these idiots are solely responsible for the problems that we have faced or will face if these two miscreants are elected!

Remember... Willard felt that it was too costly to find and bring to justice the greatest mass murderer of Americans.... Obama felt that the cost would be higher if we didn't!!!!!

Sorry mates, Go and study international relations first.. Then read about what happened again and put them into perspectives. Embassies any where have national lands you can call home to the embassy owning country. Outside of the embassy any where is owned by the host nation. Meaning you can fill all US embassies up with US Marines NOT outside it. Outside is a foreign land to the guest. It is virtually impossible to protect against missiles by the guest embassies any where in the World unless your host allowed it.. Meaning you need permission. Now I am sure it might all boiled down to Libyans refusing inward US Marines. If I or you is a Libyan, what pride will you have having a foreign soldiers on your street? None.

Now, education is very important. A great Nation like US need to have most populations educated. I can't remember who said what, but I remember one GOP said something like Obama want you to be like himself when he focused on education and re-training during GOP Primary.

I will love to be like Obama, think like him and act in some way like him. Even if you vote him out, He is currently your President.

Now when you don't understand much, you rely on those who knows. Give yourself independence.. Get education.

Bing West wrote a piece I disliked. Quote " Our people fight for 7 hours and WH watch" That piece is there to poison your national division and help you WRONGLY to choose someone other than the one you want. Reagan did stop terrorist plane, but can he force the embassy in Libya to move to Paris.. NO is the answer.

Republicans want to control if a woman gives birth, has an abortion, receives birth control, republicans want to decide if a woman is raped.

Republicans wouldn't allow Sandra Fluke (a Georgetown University Law School graduate and advocate for teen victims of human trafficking) to testify before Congress regarding women's health issues, while a panel of men testified.

Republicans voted against renewing the Violence Against Women Act of 1994 (VAWA) because they didn't want protection for gay men, lesbians, American Indians, and illegal immigrants who were victims of domestic violence (wikipedia.org).

              Anybody who watched the last debate saw Willard seething, teeth gritted and his clenched jaw when President Obama called his politicizing of the Benghazi offensive to Americans and America. Willard tried to capitalize on our emotions while we were still absorbing the "shock and sadness for the loss of four Americans in Libya".

              This happened just before Willard's bully son threatened the President.

                I am not sure I agree with that. Romney projected himself very well during the first debate, President Obama did the same during the second debate. Then he made the mistake, or his campaign managers did, of falling down to high school tactics. He looks like he is grasping for straws with the binder, coal boy and romnesia remarks. After he won the second debate, and I think he did, he needed to take the high road. I am still pulling for him, but he needs to understand the electorate is little put off by those juvenile tactics. He made his point very strongly about the 47%. he should have left it there and let us think about that for awhile. This other stuff is just distracting.

                  That isn't true. It took until the second debate for Mitt to be a little more precise on the loopholes he would, or would not, be closing.

                        Why is it that networks feel we need analysts to tell us what the candidates are saying. I believe the electorate is smarter than that. Sounds like another opportunity to put their spin on the debates.

                            0300 Washington time, the phone in the White House rings.

                            The message; FOUR AMERICANS MURDERED.

                            The response; They're bumps in the road and I need my rest for the fundraiser in Vegas.

                            The terrorist attack was a "bump in the road" toward peace in the Middle East, like September 11, 2001 was a terrorist attack in America that killed thousands of Americans, we feel the same whether it's four or thousands. Willard tried to use our emotions in a condescending way, and tried twisting it for his own dishonest advantage.

                              In the debate tonight Romney needs to mention how Obama felt his trip to Vegas after 4 Americans were killed in a terrorist attack is not leading from the front! Romney must tell Obama hanging out with the 'pimp with a limp", JZ and David Letterman is not doing the job the American people sent him there to do in 2008.

                              Romney needs to say Obama is a ring kisser and a appeaser to the radical islamic nuts killing Americans. He needs to let Obama have it about wanting to be more flexible with the R$ussians. Obama had no foreign policy experience and still does not because the whole middle east is on fire because of his weakness!

                              I'm a little skeptical about the polls seeing as how they currently don't call cell phones. It would seem to me that younger voters (which statistically tend to be more liberal) would be less likely to have a land line. I'm 32 and I've NEVER had one... Just a thought.

                                They poll up to 9% more Democrats than Republican or Independents. And the race is still TIED.

                                You think as many Democrats are going to vote as in 2008? You think as many Independents or even Democrats are going to vote for Obama as in 2008?

                                Actually I looked it up after I posted that. Some polls actually do call cell phones, and the ones that do show an Obama lead.

                                I was a Republican in 2008 and didn't vote. This Republican controlled congress cured me of that. I'm voting straight Democrat this time. Romney's "I'm not Obama" campaign just isn't good enough.

                                I vote every election and so far nobody has polled me. Just a small question, if you put yourself on the do not call lists, like for telemarketers, does it effect polling?

                                    All right - so Romney gave you/us a good act in his first debate and an OK one in his second. It was a great act. It was. It better have been because he has been training for almost his whole adult life for this…..and he spent lots of money on speech trainers, voice coaches, spin doctors, and focus groups (they literally follow him around). It did what it had to do….motivate those people already fooled and manipulated to hate Obama but unenthusiastic about Romney …to actually get enthusiastic about Romney to beat Obama into the ground. And …..as one supporter said….."to finally get a first lady that looks like a first lady".

                                    So Romney has been trained well to look Presidential….to look like a leader….to speak well…..i.e. to look the part (he and his wife really do look the part ….they could have been perfect on the old TV program, "West Wing"). The problem is….is that the only thing Mitt Romney really seems to stand for …. is for Mitt Romney……and his own election……. And I've listened to him a lot - even when he was Governor. By the way, when there was a storm crisis in his state he was out on trips to bolster his national image and left his Lieutenant Governor to be the one to deal with it and be a spokesperson on TV. Real leadership. Also, he has switched his position so many times I've lost count…depending on what audience he is speaking to - conservatives, liberals, moderates…you name it…he has a position you will support. HE REALLY IS THE ETCH-A-SKETCH CANDIDATE! Finally, he did meet with Speaker Boehner and McConnell in April and basically got their support by agreeing to leave the major domestic policy decisions to them and the right-wing zealots that now control the Republican Party.

                                    I want a President I can trust……and contrary to what the RMM (Right-Wing Messaging Machine) has been spouting out and fooling and manipulating Americans with these past four years…that man is our President, Barak Obama and his vision of a resilient America, where we all do our part, with slowwww steady, rational progress to help get this country out of this economic mess.

                                    If you vote for Romney, all you will do is to reward and empower the hate and demagoguery over the last four years by Right-wing Rant Radio (Limbaugh, Beck, Savage, Coulter, etc.), the disrespectful (the Joe Barton's yelling "You Lie!!!") and Republican's zealot's (the Michelle Bachmann's and Tea party) in Congress over the last four years, the stone-walling and the making government unworkable by Republicans over the last four years, and the rich CEO's (Koch, Adelman's, Rupert Murdoch, etc.),Corporations (especially the finance industry that got us into this mess), and the Right-Wing Media like FOX (so-called) News that is really good at fooling and manipulating people.

                                    THAT is who you are really voting for if you vote for Romney this election.

                                    If you vote for Romney, you will eviscerate the middle-class, the environment, and smart energy solutions.

                                    Oh, I almost forgot…you will reward and empower those people who believe we will "finally get a first lady that looks like a first lady".

                                        NBC has a "Truth Squad"?

                                        What's that "Truth Squad been doing since last week, when Obama claimed that he labeled Benghazi "an act of terror" and then spent almost 2 weeks trying to spin it as a sponaneous crowd reaction to the Mohammed video?

                                        Don't insult America with a high handed label that doesn't fit. You don't have any "Truth Squad."

                                            Democrats have to be wondering if Obama will have his mind on the debate or
                                            on the job, Comparably he has a nearly flawless record, Ending wars, Taking out pirates, Wiping out Al-Q's leadership including a direct order from him to take out
                                            Bin Laden. The US image has seen a dramatic improvement over the past 4 years

                                            Republicans have to be wondering WHICH Romney will show up at the debate, Will it be the Primary Mitt who would attack Iran on day one regardless of the lack of solid evidence Iran is thinking about building a nuke? Will it be the Mitt who wants to invade Syria and help unknowns come into power? Would it be the Mitt who wants to invade Libya over a terrorist attack that may not of even involved any Libyans? Will it be the Mitt who on his first international tour as a candidate insulted every Nation he visited?

                                            Or

                                            Will it be a brand new Mitt Romney we have yet to meet??

                                            Score for Romney!!

                                            President Obama found his private moment of political candor caught by a live microphone on Monday as he told President Dmitri A. Medvedev of Russia that he would have “more flexibility” to negotiate on the delicate issue of missile defense after the November election, which Mr. Obama apparently feels confident he will win.

                                            Mr. Obama then elaborated in a portion of the exchange picked up by the cameras: “This is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility.”

                                            “I understand. I will transmit this information to Vladimir,” Mr. Medvedev said, referring to Prime Minister Vladimir V. Putin, who just won an election to succeed Mr. Medvedev.

                                            I’m curious: how many other countries has the president promised that he’d have a lot more flexibility the morning he doesn’t have to answer to the American people?
