Stop siding with Obama

The facts are now clear. 1) The president offered no assistance as the attack unfolded, and repeated earlier requests from officials for better security at the consulate had been turned down. 2) Obama spent the next 10 days falsely attributing the attacks to a video, when the president was fully aware the murder of four Americans had been a planned al-Qaeda terrorist attack. 3) The president then gave a speech at the United Nations unequivocally repeating yet again that the attacks were in response to the video. 4) The vice president then said in his debate that the White House had not been informed that the murders occurred during a coordinated attack. Blaming the video had now changed to blaming the intelligence agencies and the State Department. 5) Then the president in the second debate insisted that he had in fact made the claim back on September 12, the day after the attacks, that the murders were a terrorist attack. This was another clear falsehood. 6) Then, days later, Obama went on a daytime TV current affairs/comedy show and quipped, with grinning insensitivity, that four Americans dying was not an “optimal” outcome.

Barack Obama is a toxic blend of arrogance, incompetence, deceit and century-old leftist policy ideas that is destroying the US economy. The Nation should ignore the president’s ideology and report instead on his repeated dishonesty.
