IMO that's not really appropriate for a leader CJCRANE Oct 2012 #2
Especially when said "leader" was so craven in using his death on the night thereof. Schema Thing Oct 2012 #4
Perhaps Queen Ann was right, Not Me Oct 2012 #3
Good point. CJCRANE Oct 2012 #8
I saw that. But I think their assertion that extra security was denied could be damaging. gateley Oct 2012 #5
He said he knew GLEN DOHERTY - one of the Seals killed tufnel Oct 2012 #6
Mitt also said he and his father marched with MLK in Detroit in 1967 bushisanidiot Oct 2012 #15
Of course he's lying. His cult requires that he do so. DollarBillHines Oct 2012 #17
It was his party that cut funding to the State Department. Sort of late for tears. appleannie1 Oct 2012 #7
Glen Beck gave him lessons. n/t woodsprite Oct 2012 #9
Is he going full Boehner? FSogol Oct 2012 #10
They try to paint Obama as wimpy but these guys are the ones 2pooped2pop Oct 2012 #11
He didn't have any tears. And they just showed it again and nobody mentioned tearing up. n/t jenmito Oct 2012 #12
Baloney. He had to pause because he got choked up. bushisanidiot Oct 2012 #16
He didn't HAVE to pause. He paused to LOOK choked up, but he wasn't, and I didn't see jenmito Oct 2012 #18
Ah. Then we agree. Because he was faking it the whole time. bushisanidiot Oct 2012 #19
I can probably agree, I mean all you have to look at is Xyzse Oct 2012 #13
Maybe he and Boehner get together and practice. GallopingGhost Oct 2012 #14

We should show pictures of all the people who are going to end up dying on the streets if he takes over.

in a public situation.

Hillary knew Chris Stevens personally and she held it together at the memorial.

It sounded like complete bullcrap. He says he met and talked to him in person before about the Middle East.

I'd like to know when these two met and if this can be confirmed.

To see who died in regards to foreign service and then count how many in comparison from 2001-2008 to 2008-2012. They say that Obama makes Foreign Service workers, unsafe, but think about the Bush years.

[quote]AFSA maintains a memorial plaque for all members of the foreign service or the embassy community who are killed in the line of duty, and since the year 2000, those names number more than 20 — that's including last month's attack in Libya. As for how these individuals died, there's a plane crash, a helicopter crash, an earthquake, a heart attack, even a case of cerebral malaria. But one cause of death trumps them all.

"If you add up all the 'terrorist attacks,' we have 16 out of 22," Johnson says. " So the majority of them."[/quote]

http://www.afsa.org/afsa_memorial_plaque_list.aspx

It shows the following during Bush years:
Barbara J. Green Terrorist Attack — Pakistan 2002
Laurence M. Foley Terrorist Attack — Jordan 2002
James Mollen Terrorist Attack — Iraq 2004
Edward J. Seitz Rocket Attack — Iraq 2004
Barbara C. Heald Rocket Attack on U.S. Embassy — Iraq 2005
Keith E. Taylor Rocket Attack on U.S. Embassy — Iraq 2005
Stephen E. Sullivan Terrorist Attack — Iraq 2005
David E. Foy Terrorist Attack — Pakistan 2006
Margaret Alexander Helicopter Crash — Nepal 2006
Steven Thomas Stefani, IV Killed by Bomb — Afghanistan 2007
John Michael Granville Vehicle Ambush — Sudan 2008

For Obama...
Other than Stevens, the ones that died other than Terrence Barnich who died of a road side bomb, most are not related to Obama making things less safe for foreign service workers.


Brian Daniel Adkins Murdered in Home — Ethiopia 2009
Terrence L. Barnich Roadside Bomb — Iraq 2009
Victoria J. DeLong Earthquake — Haiti 2010
Dale J. Gredler Heart Attack/Lack of Medical Facilities — Indonesia 2010
Sharon S. Clark Cerebral Malaria — Nigeria 2010
