He never said that the death of the U.S. Ambassador was a "bump in the road". Stop lying.
However, this is desperation from the Romney camp and not new. Romney, a man with little foreign experience, is attacking Obama's foreign policy record. While I am not the greatest fan of Obama's neocon-lite foreign policy, he is much better than Republicans. Plus, he has kept America safe, unlike the last President.
This is a joke.
9/11 happened less than 8 months into his term and it's Bush's fault for not keeping us safe.
3+ years after Obama is in office and NOTHING is his fault.

Go ahead and watch the CBS video of him saying exactly that. I know you don't want to believe that but surely you can take the couple of minutes to hear him say the words instead of just keep going on with those words about, he didn't.
How is Romney off topic, when he is the one who made the false claim?
Well, I can't answer since he didn't talk like that. Romney made it up. If you want to defend lie, then be my guest.
No clue what you are talking about.
Here is your own private opportunity to watch The One say the words so you won't have to keep blaming Romney for saying the words. I find it very hard to believe that you don't hear and interpret the words of The One when it is painful to hear.
The lefty I so poorly told you about left Kestrel's place about the same time you and a number of other lefties pulled the same trick. Surely you can see by now that he is no longer with us.
I still don't hear him say that a dead ambassador is nothing but a bump on the road. Maybe you simply are incapable of comprehending the context.
Heck, have it your way Roy. I don't care how you read it. Accrding to Romney you are just another "moocher-victim", and according to his ow words even he doesn't give a rip about what you think.
I guess you just don't understand what the interviewer was talking about so you have to take The One's words as what he meant in answering, or something at least that convoluted in you attempt to cover up for him. You haven't by any chance started working in the MSM, have you?
So you think that when one pays 10% of his monthly SS check to Medicare he is a moocher? Do you know who passed those two laws with huge majorities? I am thinking more and more that you have joined up with the MSM.
Kroft: Have the events that took place in the Middle East, the recent events in the Middle East given you any pause about your support for the governments that have come to power following the Arab Spring?
Obama: Well, I'd said even at the time that this is going to be a rocky path. The question presumes that somehow we could have stopped this wave of change. I think it was absolutely the right thing for us to do to align ourselves with democracy, universal rights, a notion that people have to be able to participate in their own governance. But I was pretty certain and continue to be pretty certain that there are going to be bumps in the road because, you know, in a lot of these places, the one organizing principle has been Islam. The one part of society that hasn't been controlled completely by the government.
There are strains of extremism, and anti-Americanism, and anti-Western sentiment. And, you know, can be tapped into by demagogues. There will probably be some times where we bump up against some of these countries and have strong disagreements, but I do think that over the long term we are more likely to get a Middle East and North Africa that is more peaceful, more prosperous and more aligned with our interests.

Read it any way you want. I don't speak your moocher-victim lingo, so forgive me if we are not hearing the same thing. I'll just go with the actual interview, and you go with a political soundbite.

A lot different when not treated as a sound bite.
Oh the (fake) outrage...
Oh the outrage, oh the humanity of it all, you just killed another right wing troll thread! congratulations, and thank you!!
NICE job of taking something completely out of context!
His remark referenced a prior statement saying he was pretty sure there would be some bumps in the road in the region. If you want to sell your BS that he referred to the death of the Ambassador as a bump in the road you'll have to be prepared to supply proof he had prior knowledge the Ambassador would be killed when he made the statement. Otherwise it's just a typical self-Righteous, out of context, factually incorrect, hyperbolic load of steaming crap.
I heard both interviews, Romney's, and Obama,s and he simply did not say what you and Romney claim he said. Romney's words are a pure misrepresentation of the truth. You need to look into the facts, and not run with some foreign rag, or the comments made by political opponents. Yes, Romney is the low one on this issue, because he is the one making false claims. You are a fool believing everything you hear, and never looking up the facts. A fool!
Feel free to believe whatever you want to, but at least I'm am not arrogant or rude or cowardly enough to anonymously call another poster a name just because she spoke out against your prescious prince. I watched the video. He called the "recent events in the Middle East", "bumps in the road". We all know, or should know, what the "recent events" are. They are the attacks on our embassies and the slaying of four Americans. Our Ambassador was DRUG THROUGH THE STREETS!. And you are more concerned about the fact that Romney said something against the big O. Oh no. Romney may have hurt poor wittlle obama's feelings. He said it because obama acts like this was nothing. The liberal media doesn't want to ask obama the tough questions and they want to water it down by calling it "recent events". But, we know what they are! And if you choose not to believe that because your almighty obama said it and he is sooo perfect, then maybe I'm not the one that is a fool.
He does see it as a bump in the road, a bump to his re-election. Hence the lies and cover up. If this entire story was reported on fairly and accurately by the press, Barack would be in big trouble and he knows it, the press know it. Which is why they stick with going all nuts over anti-Romney stories and keep quiet about this.
