Mitt's Libya Disaster!

Mitt Romney had the worst day politically, a presidential candidate could have.  It all started with a tragedy in Libya where the US Ambassador Chris Stevens was killed by extremist terrorists.

Mitt & Reince could not wait until the bodies were even cold before they were blaming President Obama and even worse accusing him of apologizing to the people who killed them.  

In a press conference delivered minutes after Secretary of State Hillary Clinton addressed the attacks, Romney expanded on his initial statement, in which he said the administration’s first response was “to sympathize with those who waged the attacks.”

“We join together in the condemnation of attacks on the American embassies and the loss of American life and join in sympathy for these people,”Romney said. “It’s also important for me — just as it was for the White House, last night by the way — to say that the statements were inappropriate, and in my view a disgraceful statement on the part of our administration to apologize for American values.”

Not only did was he despicable in his lies, he appeared (literally) to be taking great glee from this tragedy.  Here is Mitt at his press conference where he blamed President Obama:
       
                                   
 To everyone's great relief, the sane wing of the republican party stepped out and let everyone know that what Mitt did today was unforgivable:

Some prominent republicans pulled no punches:

“I don’t think President Obama sympathizes with those who attacked us. I don’t think any American does.” — Former Bush administration DHS Secretary Tom Ridge

“In the wake of this violence, the rush by Republicans — including Mitt Romney, Sarah Palin and scores of other conservative critics — to condemn him for policies they claim helped precipitate the attacks is as tortured in its reasoning as it is unseemly in its timing.” — Mark Salter, former chief of staff and top campaign aide to Sen. John McCain (R-AZ)

Then there is this from Kos:

 : "Over the decades we have survived the leadership of stupid men, and of criminal men. We have survived carpet-bombings of substanceless rhetoric, we have inched our way forward through blizzards of

of lies, we have pretended to be outraged about sex and pretended to not be outraged at misinformation; we are a hardy lot, apparently. I would hope, though, that we are still not so desperate as to look for leadership from someone who cannot even let a man's blood dry before scrawling his own name in it."

The sad thing is that while Mitt, who is the presidential nominee for one of two major parties in the US and  keeps doubling down on a folded hand of blame Obama, yet children from around the world have a greater understanding than he does. 

Looks like the republicans have the wrong nominee, when a 12 year old child understand foreign policy better than the actual candidate!
