GOP Presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s premature knee-jerk response to yesterday’s attacks on American embassies in Libya and Egypt reveal the low character of the man – and make it clear he is not fit for the Presidency.
Before Romney could possibly know the facts, before the State Department had identified our dead, before President Obama could publically address this national tragedy, Mitt sought the television cameras to score cheap political points with an unfounded, uneducated and vastly unhelpful attack on the President and, by extension, the heroic members of our foreign service stationed in harm’s way. Romney’s behavior in this moment of crisis was entirely selfish and profoundly un-American. (He even smirked as he walked away from the podium after launching his patently unserious salvo.)
American Ambassador Chris Stevens and the three other embassy workers killed in the rocket attack in Benghazi, Libya deserved far better than to serve as props for Mitt Romney’s cheap political stunt.
There was a time when partisanship in American politics stopped at the water’s edge.
Romney’s ham-handed diplomatic buffoonery and lack of foreign policy wisdom should disqualify him as a candidate for President of the United States. The fact that Mitt’s rash, false and incendiary accusations against President Obama have been met with approval by right wing tools like disgraced former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, Senator Jim DeMint (Tea Party-SC) and Senator John Kyl (R-AZ) only add to the argument against Romney’s judgment, his character, and his candidacy.
Sorry, my Republican friends, this is your guy for 2012: perhaps the worst Presidential candidate in the modern era. One wonders how — with that huge silver spoon in his mouth — he still manages to find room to stick his foot in it, too.
Shame on you, Mitt Romney.
This guy is the most gigantic a-hole I have ever seen. Really. What a dick. Smug, arrogant, thinking the Presidency is some sort of birthright. Just a giant steaming bag of psychopathic entitled out of touch crap.
Don’t care much for the man, is I guess what I’m saying….
You had me at “gigantic a-hole”.
Yeah, I used the full word (“asshole”) earlier today in regard to him and his choices in the last 24 hours.
Irresponsible. Incendiary. Dangerous.
Those are good ones for today, as well.
Oops. Didn’t mean to make that Anonymous. I forgot to sign in.

Hi Paul!
Hi, Linda! Yes, indeed, Mr. Romney has made an a@# of himself in the past 24 hours. Now, about those tax returns…
You also had me at “gigantic a-hole”.
