Obomba can go back to his street corner community orgainizer days, Michelle can go back to eating food she likes and the law firm that will pay the bills, Ole Uncle Joe will be a little closer to the sanitarium. And we can get on with growing jobs, paying down our debt and having fiscal sanity reign!

As for some info. regarding the "pimp with the limp" reference in my blog, here's the scoop from: http://news.yahoo.com/obama-chats-pimp-limp-dj-laz-9-11-211902010--abc-news-politics.html
"President Obama was heard on the South Florida airwaves this 9/11 Anniversary morning in a 10-minute radio interview with Miami's "Pimp with the Limp" DJ Laz from 106.7 WRMA-FM.
"You're big time. You've got Pitbull and Flo Rida and all these guys just beating a path to your door," Obama said, buttering up Laz. "And so I'm hoping that I can get a little of that magic from you in this interview."
The two talked tunes, TV, football and top topics of the 2012 campaign. Obama did not mention the terror attacks that took place 11 years ago today, a fact his critics were quick to point out.
He "avoided talking about 9/11 on 9/11's anniversary, but made time to mock the Dolphins bad record," noted the Miami Herald. Some Republicans circulated a link to the Herald article to claim that Obama was being disrespectful of the anniversary with the lighthearted banter and inappropriately injected politics into what has traditionally been an apolitical day."
Goodness. This is what passes for "presidential" in the Obama White House?!?
Embarrassing.
And this clown cannot make time to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to address very valid concerns about the dangerous activities in Iran??? Nope. Too busy as the "campaigner-in-chief."

A brief excerpt:
"For Obama, it does not matter if the world goes to hell, as long as he is reelected.
"Obama’s abdication of leadership is stunning but probably not surprising. Obama does not see America as the world’s leader. He sees us as the problem in the world. To say that Obama hates Israel would be an understatement.
His lack of support for Israel is consistent with the growing wave of anti-semitism that is engulfing the left wing movement in the United States.
Any sane leader would be doing something. Iran is a regime that is very unstable. Their leaders believe that if they can create enough chaos in the world, it will set the stage for the Islamic version of the second coming."
By the way, Obama can make time to appear on "The Late Show" with David Letterman, but cannot make time to meet with the Israeli Prime Minister. Egads.

When you broadcast hate past your own territory for the purpose of instilling violence, that will result in the loss of American lives, that is sedition.
I hope that both Libya and Egypt ask for extradition of the Americans responsible for the sedition.
The people who instigated this are traitors to America, the very country that protects their freedoms on it's home soil.
Ambassador Stevens was a great man who did great things for the Libyans during their revolution. This is so tragic that he should end up being the victim of actions perpetrated by Zealots from his own country.
I trust the Zealots are pleased with the results of their actions.
Anyone who does not condemn these Zealots, is as culpable as they are.

He should be out front with the people protecting his freedom.

And Barry O. cannot bring himself to say anything against the Muslim extremists behind these uprisings. The Apologizer-In-Chief cannot bring himself to be a leader or act presidential. The Middle East - including Iran - are paying attention to the weak response to these 9/11 attacks - and laughing at Obama once again apologizing! Apologizing for hurting the feelings of Muslims!!! So Obama says once again America is to blame for the killings because of a movie that is months old and has been seen by a handful of people? Disgusting.
At least Romney has spoken out forcefully against these attacks and the deaths of 4 Americans - including the U.S. Ambassador to Libya. Face it, Romney as a candidate is more presidential than the little man-child posing as a president.

"The film claims Muhammad was a fraud. The 14-minute trailer of the movie that reportedly set off the protests, posted on the website YouTube in an original English version and another dubbed into Egyptian Arabic, shows an amateur cast performing a wooden dialogue of insults disguised as revelations about Muhammad, whose obedient followers are presented as a cadre of goons."
Get your head out of the sand Hemmer.
If you stand with Sam Bacile and Jones, you are culpable as they are for Ambassador Steven's death.

You must be writing copy for MSNBC. Only they and a infantile imbecille, such as yourself, could twist an incident with 4 people dying on foreign soil into an outrage of a movie.
This event is huge and shines a spotlight on the total derelict we have running things in D.C. The fallout on this has just begun.
jman99 - Sep 12, 2012 12:55 PM
Are you nuts? The Ambassador died of smoke inhalation at the embassy while trying to get the staff out to the safe house that is near by.
"Details of the attack in Benghazi were still emerging Wednesday. Stevens, 52, died as he and a group of embassy employees went to the consulate to try to evacuate staff when hundreds of people attacked with machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades.
By the end of the assault, much of the building was burned out and trashed.
Dr. Ziad Abu Zeid, who treated Stevens, told The Associated Press that he died of asphyxiation, apparently from smoke. In a sign of the chaos during the attack, Stevens was brought by Libyans to the Benghazi Medical Center with no other Americans, and no one at the facility knew who he was, Abu Zeid said. ''

What a mixed-up world liberals live in.
And somehow, I don't think Obama is too disturbed that the American flag was destroyed at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo...
And jman99: The ONLY people responsible for the deaths of Americans (including Ambassador Stevens) are the Muslim mobs that killed them.
And Obama IS avoiding any meeting with the Israeli Prime Minister. Here's the Huff N Puff post just so lefties believe it: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/11/obama-avoids-israeli-prim_n_1874814.html

You seem fairly upset that Obama has apologized to someone over something, and yet you dont have any reference to what he said, when he said it, or who he said it to.
And yes, in the midst of the turmoil yesterday, I have no doubts that the president cancelled any number of unrelated-to-the-crisis meetings. Wouldnt you???
MGarber - Sep 12, 2012 1:47 PM
I suspect you are exactly right. I suspect he's more preoccupied by the loss of american life! I sleep better knowing you arent in charge.
ahemmer - Sep 12, 2012 1:53 PM
The media is trying to protect The One at all costs, somehow putting forth the idea that the anger over a movie (that has been out for months)is somehow to blame for the violence on 9/11. The Muslim terrorists staged calculated attacks in Egypt and Libya. This was planned. It was not a suddenly spontaneous outrage over a movie. The left is justifying their "anger" which resulted in the deaths of four Americans because of a movie, and we - America - are to blame and must apologize! for our own freedom of speech!
And isn't it funny how the left rush to criticize America and placate Muslims terrorists - who have just killed Americans - when they find no problem offending and dissing Christians and Catholics?
Gosh, the hypocrisy and support of extremist Muslims by Obama, the Dems, and the Obama Administration, should trouble EVERY American. And I do believe - and hope - that most people are too smart to fall into the "blame America" trap that the press and Obama are putting forth. Mitt Romney is the only one here acting presidential - and he is not even the president yet. Obama could learn a thing or two from Mr. Romney, but Obama's socialist, anti-American tendencies will not allow such.
And MGarber: The Middle East is a tinderbox. It is an area in crisis. Obama SHOULD meet with the Prime Minister of Israel. But I just guess that appearances on David Lettermen and being on the campaign trail are too important for The One.

There's this live speech:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/obamas-full-statement-on-libya-attack/2012/09/12/04058c08-fceb-11e1-a31e-804fccb658f9_video.html
And there's this release:
http://www.boston.com/news/nation/2012/09/12/obama-statement-attack-libya-consulate/OCHIkgzRXvFQIOT5NflkIN/story.html
Could you please point out the pathetic part?
Could you please point out the apology?
Mucho - Sep 12, 2012 2:29 PM
This is yet another example of his inexperience and lack of leadership. It rounds out this list:
- The US (NATO) kills 24 Pakistaki troops by accident - Obama never apologizes and cancels an apology that hilary was en route to deliver. 8 months later, he allows Hilary to sa that the US is sorry that it happened but took no responsibility.
- Obama apolgizes immediately when US troops burned library books with prisoner messages written in them and some Korans were included in the burning
- Obama apologizes immediately when our US ambassador was killed over a movie.
So there you have it - Obama's foreign policy in a nutshell. Apologize to the world when a US citizen dies or if you burn a book. Kill 24 of their soldiers and mum's the word. Only thing that will get him closer to Carter is if he asks us to walk to work or put on a sweater when it's cold because fuel prices are so high.
MGarber - Sep 12, 2012 2:56 PM
So you heard the same speech Amy did? Good!! What exactly DID Obama say?? And when??
ahemmer - Sep 12, 2012 3:10 PM
In addition, did you know that many who stormed the embassies were chanting "Obama we are all Osama...." Hmmmm. Maybe these planned mob attacks weren't about a movie most haven't seen, but rather retaliation for the killing of Osama Bin Laden....
Just a thought. Don't think the leftie media will follow up with that, or even mention the chant....
jman99 - Sep 12, 2012 3:11 PM
Hemmer is wrong. The apology came hours prior to the attack.
Romney lied again, but we've come to expect that by now.
