Unless the Romney campaign has gamed this crisis out in some manner completely invisible to the Gang of 500, his doubling down on criticism of the President for the statement coming out of Cairo is likely to be seen as one of the most craven and ill-advised tactical moves in this entire campaign.

Romney’s decision to use a fatal attack on Americans as an opportunity to seek political gain based on a complete lie is just the latest example of his copyrighted #romneyshambles campaign. It is a classic #romneyfail.

Jumping Ship Update:
Romney’s decision to weigh in is generating criticism from fellow Republicans. Former Sen. John Sununu of New Hampshire said on MSNBC Wednesday morning: “They probably should have waited. … You look at the way things unfolded, you look at the timing of it, they probably should have waited.”

Bracing for trouble before the start of the protests here and in Libya, the American Embassy released a statement shortly after noon that appeared to refer to Mr. Jones : "The United States Embassy in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims -- as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions." It later denounced the "unjustified breach of our embassy."
Apparently unaware of the timing of the first embassy statement, the Republican presidential candidate, Mitt Romney, put out a statement just before midnight Tuesday saying, "It's disgraceful that the Obama administration's first response was not to condemn attacks on our diplomatic missions, but to sympathize with those who waged the attacks." Mr. Romney also said he was "outraged" at the attacks on the embassy and consulate.

For Barack Obama, Muslims can do no wrong

On 9/11, in response to an anti-Islam video that went viral on YouTube last week, Obama's Egyptian embassy released a statement deploring “the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims — as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions.” This is beyond imagination: On 9/11, the anniversary of the attacks by radical Islamists on our nation, Islamic protestors compromised the U.S. embassy in Cairo, tearing the American flag to shreds to cries of “We are Usama!” and the Obama administration responds that our concern needs to be the “hurt feelings” of Muslims.
The administration’s response in Libya was not much better, placing condemnation of “denigrating religious beliefs” over outrage at the killing of our ambassador and other diplomatic staff there. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton issued a statement saying that while the United States “deplores any intentional effort to denigrate the religious beliefs of others there is never any justification for violent acts of this kind.”
Finally, on Wednesday morning, Obama condemned “the outrageous attack.” The entire administration response is noteworthy for being short on outrage over the blatant attacks against America in the name of Islam. Yet coming from this administration, the weak response should surprise no one.
In June 2009 Obama spoke in Cairo, Egypt, saying he wanted “a new beginning between the United States and Muslims around the world; one based upon mutual interest and mutual respect.” But this is the part that gave us a clue of what was to come: “I consider it part of my responsibility as President of the United States to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear.”...

This is a absolute disaster for Obama that the media is trying real hard to shield him from.Any time Obama has to deviate from the Bush playbook he steps on his dick. No security...CIA failed to act etc etc. I hope Romney keeps hammering him...pictures of 1979...over and over and over again. Obama is a pussy...he was prodded into Bin Laden...he uses drones because the Admin is risk averse......drones and airstrikes can only do so much. If they hadn't convinced Barry that 2000lbs JDAMs weren't the answer in Pakistan, we'd have no idea that Bin Laden was dead..and it would have killed a shit ton of paki's to boot. The Bush built JSOC killers supported by the Bush built intell services killed Obama....Barry is on his own here...he BUILT IT..he OWNS its.

How do you make a lie = Correct ?

Obama has fucked this situation up from day one. Obama has played politics with the war on terror since the 2008 campaign using the deaths of servicemen and Bin Laden to further his political agenda. Romeny is perfectly justified in pointing out the failures...
-
Come on boys, the media is covering for Obama...this looks exactly like 1979. Now Romney isn't Reagan and he'll pull out of Afghanistan in 2014 just like Obama is, but arab spring shit has been a cluster from day one. If your isolationist like paul..then you don't care...as long as the policy is consistant, thats fine. That can be debated later.....but if your in..ala drone strikes in Pakistan and Yemen...then your all in. make sure the damm Egyptian army calls the shots, back them with cash and help them wack the leaders of the Muslim brotherhood...i don't know...but do something other then like the wack jobs take over.

what was Reagans response when the marine barracks were bombed in 1983
Romneys comments PRECEDED the deaths of the terrorist attack (it was not just a mob that went too far) and it's political malpractice to make comments such as Romeny did as a situation was escalating
just fucking stupid and craven and totally unbecoming the office which he seeks

Romney's statement was in response to a statement put out by the embassy prior to any violence
I know facts are irrelevent to you but people who don't suffer from your particular type of brain damage know what a horrible move this was by the Romney campaign from both a political persepctive and from the persepctive of someone who wants to actually lead this country. He just doesn't have the aptitude for the job and that has just become painfully apparent

yeah, that's what diplomats do you f'ng dumbass
and Romney decided to attempt a craven political attack without even knowing the facts and while the situation was escalating
if I didn't know better I'd guess he had a moron such as yourself giving him "advices"

you do understand that Romney responded to a statement by the embassy and that statement was not an apology (that what Romney charactrized it as)
here is the statement that Romney was referring to in his horribly ill-advised statement
keep in mind, I don't expect someone as profoundly stupid as yourself, someone who believes Obama said you didn't build your own business, to give a rats ass about actual facts
Tuesday, Sept. 11, Cairo, Egypt
Early Tuesday morning, the U.S. Embassy in Cairo got word that demonstrators, angry about an anti-Islamic film produced in the U.S., were gathering in the streets. It issued a safety warning to Americans: Stay out of the streets.
As the situation became increasingly tense— but while the crowd was still peaceful—the U.S. Embassy in Cairo issued a statement condemning what it called "religious incitement" as it worked to calm the tensions.
"The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims—as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions," the embassy said at 6:18 a.m. EDT, shortly after noon Cairo time.
That's the statement that Romney referred to as the administration's "first response." By Wednesday morning, the Republican nominee was at a podium in Jacksonville, Fla., saying that statement "appeared to be an apology for American principles." It's a theme Romney has hammered against Obama throughout his presidential campaign, including in his campaign book, "No Apology."
But the embassy's condemnation of religious incitement hardly amounted to an apology.
Romney also said Wednesday that the Cairo Embassy "put out a statement after their grounds had been breached. Protesters were inside the grounds. They reiterated that statement after the breach."
Not quite. Almost five hours after the Cairo Embassy issued its statement—at about 11:15 a.m. EDT—Associated Press images show protesters atop the Cairo Embassy's walls. At about 11:33 a.m. EDT, the American flag there had come down.
The embassy did use its Twitter account to say, at about 8 p.m. EDT, that "this morning's condemnation ... still stands." The tweet was later deleted.
The Obama administration later backed away from the embassy's statement entirely. "That statement was not coordinated with Washington. It was taken down," a senior administration official said.

Yeah, 333386 seems to be melting at an alarming rate nowadays.
All of his posts are angry, profanity-laced tirades devoid of any sense. Pretty much just insults.
I think he is beginning to realize that election day is not going to go well for him. :-\
