Mitt's smirking disaster

Jed Lewison

Take a look at the smirk on Mitt Romney's face at the conclusion of his disastrous press conference basically accusing the president of sympathizing with the people who attacked and killed American embassy personnel in Libya:





That's the smirk of a very self-impressed man. He has no clue how deeply he's hurt himself.

Who sees everything, even murder, as a risk-reward calculation for himself.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Monday, September 17, 2012



New ad asks whether Romney is ‘fit to lead’ after Libya opportunism

Full-page ad from MoveOn will run in largest Va. and N.H. papers, quotes scathing editorial board criticism of Romney

NORFOLK, VA AND MANCHESTER, N.H. – What does Mitt Romney’s response to the deaths of U.S. officials in Libya say about whether he’s “fit to lead?”

That’s the question posed by a full-page print ad MoveOn.org Political Action will run in key swing-state newspapers this week. As an answer, the ad quotes editorial boards that rebuked Romney for “vile,” “profoundly inappropriate,” “sad and pathetic” “opportunism amidst a deadly crisis” that reveals “an extraordinary lack of presidential character.”

Romney fails critical leadership test

By Steve Benen
Wed Sep 12, 2012

We talked earlier about the violent protests that killed four Americans in Libya, including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens. Politically, Mitt Romney, relying on false information, called the Obama administration's response "disgraceful," and accused the administration of "sympathiz(ing) with those" who killed U.S. officials abroad.

It seems as if Romney has finally gone too far. NBC News' First Read called out "one of the most over-the-top and (it turns out) incorrect attacks of the general-election campaign," which looks "worse and worse" as more information comes to light

This was news-cycle campaigning by the Romney campaign gone awry. Why didn't the Romney campaign wait until it had all the facts? On his overseas trip in the summer, Romney was so careful not to criticize Obama while on foreign soil. But how much time do you give an administration to work through a diplomatic and international crisis before trying to score immediate political points? You'd expect the Sarah Palins of the world to quickly pounce on something like this, and she predictably did. But a presidential nominee running for the highest office in the land?

After the facts have come out, last night's Romney statement only feeds the narrative that his campaign is desperate.
