The 2008 GOP presidential nominee focused his remarks on the Sept. 11, 2012 attack in Libya rather than Hurricane Sandy at an event in battleground Ohio that had been billed as a "storm relief and volunteer appreciation" event.
"This president is either engaged in a massive cover-up deceiving the American people or he is so grossly incompetent that he is not qualified to be the commander in chief of our armed forces. It's either one of them," McCain told Romney volunteers gathered here at a Victory Center

(24,096 posts)I have no idea why some of the so called left pundits out there have this respect for him. Why do they have to say that every time they have a criticism (which is usually very mild) of McCain the Idiot. Just because he 'served'? Well, what the hell is the statute of limitations on that one? How many decades can you be a total asshole and get away with it because you were in the military?

(115,070 posts)He still can't stand it that Obama beat him like a rented mule in '08. Unfortunately for McCain, he will be remembered in the history books as the guy who nearly hung the albatross of Sarah Palin around America's neck. You don't live something like that down, ever, no matter how much you piss and moan about the guy who whupped your wrinkly old ass.

(31,464 posts)...and let people die. That is the gist of the Fox News Tea Bagger Benghazi report. Some general tells Fox that "someone told him," or "he heard someone say" that Obama knew about the Benghazi attack days in advance and ordered our military to "stand down" as marines were trying to rescue their fellow soldiers. Obama personally directed the whole operation. Some guy told him.
I think they were in fact watching a week-old episode of Homeland and mistook for an official briefing.

Libya was a nice rich oil state so men must be real hungry right now.

(46,416 posts)Hey Grampy Bitter-Ass, no one except the RW cares about Benghazi, beyond losing our diplomats. We're sorry to break it to you and Mittens, but it's not like Obama lost thousands on his watch on American soil. I mean, that would DOOM a presidency, right?
