    Romney's reaction and response to this whole situation is as disgusting as anything I have seen in while from one of two candidates left running for POTUS. It shows that his party will stoop to the lowest of lows, which frankly is no surprise. But coming one day after the 9/11 anniversary, and trying to one-up Obama just by beating him out of the gate with his rhetoric and lies is as low as it gets, IMO. And this does not even touch how bad this fat cat is trying to handle foreign affairs. But the hatred for Obama by the GOP drives all of this, and they are not done, yet.
    And good luck getting any response from anyone else who carries that same hatred in their mind and body for our current POTUS.

    Romney looked decidedly unpresidential so quickly politicizing the deaths of four Americans. It would not be a surprise to see Rick Perry act this way, but Romney seemed to have some sense of decorum and class. Apparently not.

    Maybe I'm wrong, but this is the way I see this.

    When you read the tweets alongside the initial statement, the message is clear. Free speech is a universal right. The Muslim-baiting movie is an abuse of that right. The embassy rejects the movie but defends free speech and condemns the invasion of its compound.
    Romney’s description of the embassy’s initial statement—“sympathizing with those who had breached our embassy in Egypt, instead of condemning their actions”—was blatantly false. When the embassy issued its morning statement, no one had breached the wall. After the breach, when the embassy tweeted that its initial statement “still stands,” it added in the same breath: “As does our condemnation of unjustified breach of the Embassy.”
    At his press conference, Romney accused Obama of “having that embassy reiterate a statement effectively apologizing for the right of free speech.” Romney claimed that the embassy had said, in his paraphrase, “We stand by our comments that suggest that there's something wrong with the right of free speech." This, too, was a Romney lie. The embassy had declared five times in writing that free speech was a universal right.

    Right. The Romney Plan probably has a "Bring the Drones Home" plank.

    Anyway it goes down, the drones are here to stay, and I would rather have Barak calling the shots than Mitt.
