talkpoliticsSurely we can all recognize the giant joke politics has become by availing ourselves of the following illustrative example:
1)A GOP President "liberates" a Muslim country, thereby subjecting American personnel to constant danger, attack and death.
1a) People act all solemn and honorable about it.
2)A Dem President "liberates" a Muslim country, thereby subjecting American personnel to constant danger, attack and death.
2a)People act surprised and angry.
Of course, the utter facetiousness of Romney's and his supporters "outrage" is highlighted by this cherry-picked criticism on foreign policy. In case you didn't know, Americans have been getting bombed and killed for like, 11 years now on a fairly regular basis. Interesting how Romney never really decided to go after the President before now. Why the change of heart? What makes these attacks on the embassies in Libya and Egypt so much more special in the Global War on Terror? Is it because it's election season?
Anyway, it really is nice to see everyone rally around the President after a terrorist attack. No wait, I'm confusing this with a different 9/11.

Date: 13/9/12 14:31 (UTC)This infographic was on The Last Word last night, and John Heilemann mentioned that a narrative is forming that the Romney campaign is "desperate" mode now, which is not a good place for a campaign to be. You can see Heilemann's analysis in this short clip (will open in a new browser window) (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/49012961#49012961).

Date: 13/9/12 15:17 (UTC)Mitt Romney is taking a hail of fire today for attacking the president over a statement issued by the US embassy in Egypt, even as angry mobs killed Americans at the Libyan embassy. It "was dismal business in every respect," as well as "graceless and stupid as a matter of politics," writes David Frum for the Daily Beast. "The American people do not like politicians trying to exploit political mileage from the blood of our dead,"
