Obama speaks to UN, talks about “the film” again

Obama speaks to UN, talks about “the film” again. Maybe his teleprompter is in “continuous loop” mode. His mind certainly seems to be.

My take is that O is still trying to sell the film as the villain, to cement the idea that this is to blame and hot his inept policies. See, there is still some media outlets - Fox and some outside the US, monitoring this and pointing out how screwed up the US is in it's policies in the middle east. Each time O blames he film it has to be beaten back again by the non-conforming media sources. WH spokespeople saying something different (it really is terrorism) is part of the ploy. Only what O says is official so they can claim both sides of the argument like lawyers typically do. . Thus O at this global forum. As soon as we all tire of the challenge the Obama "narrative", it will be reported as reality!

My question is, why haven't we made an example of Lybia? Last I checked attacking an embassy is an act of war. Oh wait I forgot we have a muslim loving coward for a "president".

  Libya at least has arrested people. I think Egypt is the one that needs a little wake-up call. Just a megaton or two worth.

    Egypt is all about Muslim Bros right now. Our annual $1.5B bribe to keep them from attacking Israel and giving us preference at Suez needs to be seriously reviewed. We can help Israel in other ways. I'm at a bit of a loss on how to game out the Suez Canal scenarios, especially since China invests so heavily in Africa now
    
    On the other hand, Libya elected a relatively moderate government, people on the street are amassing against their extremists, and they get less then 1% of Egypt's foreign aid (some of which is earmarked to hunt down terrorists)

barry just keeps bitching about some film causing all of the uproar in Lybia and Egypt, yet Ambassador Stevens own words prove him wrong. For once in its current existence CNN actually do something that resembles journalism and reported on the journal and what they found.

It's time for the msm to follow the lead of Univision and start to challenge der leader on this issue and his lying insistence that its all about a damn movie and had nothing to do with Sept 11th and terrorism.
