Did the Obama administration lie about the embassy attacks?

  Just like the Bin Laden assassination (which I agree we did the right thing), the Obama administration can't get their own stories straight. This transcends politics. This is a competence issue.

  [INDENT]Obama and his staff knew 24 hour after the attach that it was terrorism and continued to lie to the American public ... thank you Carney Carnival for being truthful and reporting the facts ... you jackass

  Overseas the whole thing is perceived as a complete failure. No one believes that any of this was some random act due to some stupid "film", why the WH pushed that narrative is beyond me.

  Then they are retarded. Anyone that really thought it was brought on by the trailer to that film needs to have their head examined.

  Compelling argument lol

  Hey, cut Obama some slack. You can't expect him to run the country and go win an election at the same time. C'mon, let's have some realistic expectations here.

  I love how Republicans just call people stupid who don't agree with them.

  Yeah. Liberals never do that.
  
  And for what it's worth, I don't think there are many Repubs regularly posting on this board. Amazing, I know, that a non-Repub could disagree with the liberal agenda and/or think Obama is a failure.

  So you feel somehow if Obama was not president there would not be anymore attacks on Americans overseas? Just plain amazing how the spin machine works. America has lots of enemies, the Obama administration has done an excellent job of locating and eliminating them one by one. To attack Obama on this issue makes you look foolish and desperate. Stick to the economy, its your only chance.

  I know, right?!? We got a muslim president going around and apologizing to everyone, but I guess he just can't change it from the outside.

  There's a difference b/w disagreeing and calling someone retarded b/c they don't agree with you. If that's your argument then you're weak minded.

  I'm sure he meant to say their opinion was retarded (common sloppiness/laziness). It's not an unreasonable position to take.

  I'm assuming at least one, if not both of the couple are American, and stay at least somewhat plugged in to US news sources. I imagine that would contribute to their "perception."

  Both American citizens. He's a Swedish citizen as well. He has his BSEE, MSEE from OSU and MBA from The Jönköping International Business School in Sweden and is a Senior VP at ABB.
  JMOG wishes he was as retarded as my BIL lol.
  
  They've been in Stockholm for at least a decade now. They're pretty far out of the American loop.

  curious to what your explanation is then. I live with 2 Muslims and they say that showing the face of Muhammad (which the film apparently did) is a huge no-no. Their parents, currently living in Sudan, believe this is the case as well. Apparently they can see the riots from their house. If the film has no impact in all of this, why is there a bounty put on the film director's head?
  
  Not saying I think you are wrong, just looking for an explanation.

  Z4P if you were in Stockholm would you really care .. They mostlike don't know what time of day it is until the turn on...
  People in Stockholm have only one agenda .... Fun, beer and sex

  You guys act like Muslims haven't rioted and killed because people told jokes about Muhammed or made caricatures of Muhammed etc etc. this isnt the first time people. It won't be the last time.

  There are farrrr more Republicans that post on this site. At least on the poli board. Need proof? Check out the poll here where Romney is picked to win at a 2-1 clip.

  Exactly...
  
  3000 dead on Bush's watch....crickets.
  4 dead on Obama's watch.......weak on terrorism.
  
  These people are nothing but political nimrods who cannot desipher issues without a far right AM dial idiot giving them their daily pitch points.
  
  Somehow Obama should have stopped these attacks. But 9-11...well I guess it was Clinton's fault...even though Richard Clark...a guy who knew...put the blame squarely on Pinnochio....and rightfully so.
