US Ambassador to Libya Killed!

Of course he's not losing any you guys' votes, but that's not my point. In case you missed it, Romney is currently 5 or 6 six percent behind in the polls right now (that's Fox and Gallup, respectively), meaning he needs to win over some people who are undecided. I think his response to this crisis did just the opposite.

One thing we should NOT do is play politics with this! Reagan and Bush I were both running for president when Jimmy Carter ordered the ill-fated helicopter rescue attempt on the hostages in Iran. Both took the high road, and stood with the President. For them, "partisanship ended at the water's edge," as it should. Not so the current candidate, which I find quite disgusting. Some of you want to blame Obama, well guess what: Romney's response is going to cost himself votes.

The problem I see here is Carter didn't ass kiss every muslim country out there. He tried diplomacy, but I didn't see him bowing and apologizing for every supposedly misdeed perpetrated by America.

Obama would apologize to black people for his momma being white if he thought he'd get more votes for it.

I'm SICK AND TIRED of the Obama apologize fest......

Later,

I do think we ought think about pulling the plug on foreign aid to countries that allow their citizens to attack our embassys. We are guests in their country and they owe us local security. They allow our embassys to be attached, then we ought pull the embassy, and pull the aid dollars. I'd rather fund the military to defend us, then fund the foreign countries to protect our interests.

Here's a link to Census data on what we pay to the countries, that now have allowed out embasseys to be attacked.

Just my way of looking at it, how would you respond if I asked "Will you beat me up if I pay you $50?". That's what it feels like to me.
