In response to Mitt Romney’s criticism of the actions of the Obama Administration following the attacks on our diplomatic posts in Egypt and Libya, President Obama told Steve Kroft of 60 Minutes that Romney “seems to have a tendency to shoot first and aim later.”
Well, isn’t this a classic case of the pot calling the kettle black?
This from the President who said he bowled like he was in the Special Olympics, that the Cambridge Police Department “acted stupidly” while admitting he didn’t have all the facts and said we shouldn’t be seen as “meddling” as the Iranian government murdered its own people.
When it came to the Obama Administration’s inept response in Egypt and Libya, Mitt Romney was a straight shooter.
As for Obama, this was nothing more than a shot in the dark.

Are we comparing bowling to the death of an American ambassador?
And this "Obama makes mistakes!" doesn't actually defend (or even shield from criticism) Romney's statement.
Bob Grant| 9.12.12 @ 7:48PM
To condemn Romney on his statement would be to condemn Obama because HE SAID THE EXACT SAME THING LATER!!
Are you prepared to criticize obama as well?
Mike in N.C.| 9.12.12 @ 8:56PM
Give me more informaction, including links.
Mike in N.C.| 9.12.12 @ 8:24PM
Special Olympics and the Cambridge kerfluffle all of a sudden become equivalent to the current crisis. And, of course, you have inside information about what is happening in Iran. You really are a fraud.
Bob Grant| 9.12.12 @ 8:42PM
Idiot,
Obama restated what Romney said - almost verbatim - several hours later.
This is all a big distraction to the bigger issue which is obama's utter inconsistent (failed, confusing) foreign policy. The left hand doesn't know what the right is doing.
A REAL media would be all over obama's foreign policy failures and not what a candidate said about some international incident.
Save your feigned outrage for Politico or huffpo!!
Mike in N.C.| 9.12.12 @ 8:26PM
And, I retract my remarks concerning your top ten. Don't keep your day time job. Resign. You Re. Total disgrace.
Mike in N.C.| 9.12.12 @ 8:29PM
That is: you are a disgrace. I want to be perfectly clear.
Mike in N.C.| 9.12.12 @ 8:30PM
A TOTAL disgrace.
Nick| 9.12.12 @ 8:36PM
An American embassy WAS ATTACKED on the 11th anniversary of the attacks of September 11th, 2001.
The O'Bama regime apologized for America's right to free-speech.
An American ambassador and 3 others WERE ASSASSINATED, and our consulate burned to the ground, on the same day.
The Foodstamp President continued to snub the Israeli Prime Minister and go to fundraisers.
Today, the O'Bama regime is busy attacking the Romney campaign, and planning on going on Letterman.
In his second term, I hear that O'Bama will figure out a way to get the plans of West Point to the Muslim Brotherhood.
Truth to Power| 9.12.12 @ 9:17PM
Right on every count as usual, Nick. The big O administration followed the Florida narrative like a trained monkey. It is really bad when rabid dog muslims can so easily manipulate our President. You can't fix stupid. It is time for a change. What is even worse are the big O followers who will make an argument for any stupid thing the big O stumbles into. They are a disgrace. To be clear Mike in NC is a disgrace. A TOTAL disgrace.
Nick| 9.12.12 @ 11:32PM
Thanks, T2P. I appreciate it.
I agree completely about O'Bama, and Mikey, too.
Mike in N.C.| 9.12.12 @ 8:55PM
Nick,
Your score: right, wrong, right, wrong, right. You have won the right to play in the next round.
By the way, the President was justified Ttacking that cheap suit Romney. But you can play again.
Nick| 9.12.12 @ 11:30PM
You seem to be very ignorant of current events, Mikey.
Since you support a pathological liar for re-election, it is no wonder you are so deluded.
I know you lefties are still healing from the convention disaster you guys had, last week.
First, the National Debt surpassed the $16 TRILLION mark.
Then, Debbie Blabbermouth-Putz couldn't stop lying about....well....everything!
Then, the world saw the democrat party vote against Jerusalem and boo God!
Then, the L.A. mayor lied, and said the vote passed.
Then, the stupid democrats put pictures of ships from the Soviet Navy on the screen, during a phony tribute to the troops!
Then, the Foodstamp President had to move the venue for his retread speech, because he couldn't fill the seats in the bigger stadium.
You can't make this stuff up!
Not to mention the lies about the real unemployment numbers, the GM plants O'Bama promised to keep open in Wisconsin, and his attempt to GUT the work requirements from welfare reform.
Is it any wonder no one believes the Apologist-in-Chief?

I think this is not president O'bama's mistake.
Haine online | 9.13.12 @ 3:05AM
I agree with you.
