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.

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 Romneys response to the deaths of U.S. officials in Libya say about whether hes fit to lead?
Thats 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.

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.
