Optimal: GOP Jumps on Obama Libya Comment
by Free Britney at .While President Obama accuses his opponent of Romnesia, Republicans are pouncing on Obama for saying the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi were not “optimal.”
In an interview with Comedy Central's Jon Stewart, the host used that word first, regarding the administration's response to the tragedy in Libya earlier this fall.
Obama then responded that anytime four Americans die, it's not optimal. Watch:
Republican V.P. candidate Paul Ryan used the opportunity to rip the administration’s "inconsistent" handling of the attack, saying “their story continues to shift.”
Obama's 2008 opponent, Sen. John McCain, had strong words as well:
“Even from someone like the president, who has never known what these kinds of tragedies are about and the service and sacrifice that people make, it’s still just ... I can’t even get angry.
“It’s just so inappropriate. And I’m sure that the families of those brave Americans are not amused.”

The failure to attend security meetings by Obama led to the rape and torture of our Ambassador. Then the cover up and attempt to blame this assassination on a movie should be criminal. Obama should be impeached.
Obama will lose the election. The polls are now in Romney's favor. BHO lied his way into office. It won't work again. The only votes he will get will be from the worthless parasites who do nothing but play the system, mainly ignorant blacks who will vote for him because he looks similar to then. This group serves no purpose other than taking up space. Romney for President.
