Bumps in the road.

I think Obama's callous attitude and disregard for American citizens serving the country has been exposed in his remarks:
And rightfully so, former Navy SEALs are speaking out:
And now to top it all off, Obama goes onto a comedy show (Comedy Central's Daily Show w/Jon Stuart) and furthers the perception that he really doesn't care much for underlings (as they are beneath him and are not really worth his time to bother about.)
NOT 'OPTIMAL?'
An ambassador of the United States is DEAD. Had it been a nation state that was responsible for this act, it would be regarded as an ACT OF WAR. US Embassies attacked and set on fire, the national flag of a sovereign state is burnt and destroyed on that nation's SOVEREIGN TERRITORY. Not only that but the flag of an enemy is raised over this same territory.
What is Obama's Administration's response?
Apologize. Bow as low as possible and kiss the dirt caked sandals of these murderous hordes.
"Please don't hurt us! We didn't put out a video! We're sorry! We shouldn't stand up for our principles of freedom of speech!"
"No, wait, it was an attack?? Nono. It couldn't be! It was just people angry over a video! Let's buy ad time in Pakistan to ask for the muslims' forgiveness!"
Where is the outrage? It certainly isn't in the media...or on the left...IS IT?
http://www.theblaze.com/stories/krautha ... -headline/#Steve Kroft of “60 Minutes” asked Obama, “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?”
The president’s responded, discussing the “bumps in the road” that have unfolded in the Middle East of late. To some, like (Charles) Krauthammer, this statement diminishes what has occurred in Egypt, Libya and other localities (the killing of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and the desecration of the American flag at numerous locations).
Here’s Obama’s full response to Kroft’s questioning (emphasis added):
“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..."
Krauthammer commented about Obama’s “bump in the road” comments, distinguishing the events that have unfolded in the Middle East as very serious and warranting a label above and beyond what the president gave them. In a panel discussion on Fox News, the commentator unleashed his views on Obama’s statements.
“If Romney had said that the death of our ambassador, the attack on our embassy, the death of three other Americans, the hoisting of the black al Qaeda flag over four U.S. embassies, and demonstrations all over the Middle East all the way to Indonesia including a burning in effigy of Obama in Sri Lanka of all places is a bump in the road, it would be a three day headline,” he contended. “You hardly hear about it at all anywhere.”
And rightfully so, former Navy SEALs are speaking out:
http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Peace/2012 ... n-the-RoadFormer Navy SEALs to Obama: 'We Are Not Bumps in the Road'
Former Navy SEALs are speaking out after President Barack Obama referred to recent events in the Middle East, including the deaths of two former Navy SEALs, as "bumps in the road."
Tyrone S. Woods and Glen A. Doherty were providing security at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya when it was attacked on 9/11. They were both hailed in the aftermath of the attacks by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Both had gone into private security after retiring from the Navy after distinguished careers.
Former SEAL and current Montana State Senator Ryan Zinke issued the following statement:
The President refuses to admit that his policy of appeasement and apology has failed. The murder of our Ambassador and two former Navy SEALs is more than a "bump in the road," it is a global catastrophe where America is seen as being weak and vulnerable by our enemies. This President has failed to establish a red line for Iran's nuclear ambitions and has failed to recognize the scale and implications of the attacks against us. Reagan had it right: don't negotiate with terrorists and recognize the clear and present danger of not being willing to act or lead from the front...

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... WashingtonPresident Barack Obama, during an interview to be shown on Comedy Central, has responded to a question about his administration's confused communication after the Benghazi attack, by saying: 'If four Americans get killed, it’s not optimal.'
Obama was speaking to Jon Stewart of The Daily Show for a programme to be broadcast tonight.
Stewart, a liberal whose young audience is full of potential voters prized by the Obama campaign, asked the president about his handling of the aftermath of the Benghazi attack...
