Ok, can somebody give me a nutshell summary/timeline of the whole

[kestrel91316]

Libya riots/Obama/Rmoney kerfuffle yesterday? I have been sort of out of the loop. What happened, when, and what did Obama say that pissed Rmoney off, and then what did Rmoney say that made him look so stupid?

I don't really know exactly what is going on and I'd like to before I comment.

It's mind boggling how inept this was handled.

3. "I'd like to before I comment"

Are you one of those weird people who requires information before forming an opinion?

This is the internet!

5. So, let me get this straight -

Last night, ON SEPTEMBER 11 as this nation mourned the anniversary of the worst terrorist attack in our history, and while our embassies in Egypt and Libya were under attack, Rmoney and his flacks issued harsh statements accusing the US of apologizing for some other dude's film and thereby pandering to terrorists, EVEN THOUGH THE US HAD DONE NO SUCH THING?? And then during the press conference, instead of expressing sympathy for the DEAD AMBASSADOR AND STAFF, Rmoney continued to attack Obama WITH A SMIRK ON HIS FACE?????????????????

This man is not fit for any political office. I've never seen such a horrible, offensive, and unbelievable lack of tact and diplomacy.

9. I thought both camps had agreed

to put attacks aside for 9/11 day.
