I don't care what word Stewart used. I care about Obama's response, and his choice of words should have been more carefully made due to the extremely sensitive nature of the issue at hand.

It's "not optimal" for him because "it's just a bump in the road" and he would much rather be playing golf.

"In other words"...
It's "not optimal" because it's a major inconvenience and he really thinks its all about him.



You should probably watch the YT video posted above before you make yourself look like any more of a fool

Maybe the Outrage is Obama is spending his time "talking" about 4 American deaths, on Comedy Central, then actually admitting his foreign Policy is a joke, and he PERSONALLY, could have did more, with securing the Embassy.

He let Hilary Clinton take the fall, but can sit at a debate, and claim "In the end, I'm responsible"! 35 days later?


Which one is it?

Is it a Video?
Is it Hilary?
Or is HE the Problem?

Those 4 American deaths, and thousands of Libyan deaths are on HIS hands, his watch. You would think a Republican was President, hey? Oh the "warmongering" Irony.

Why thank you so kindly for the Kreskin-like analysis. Thank you also for the armchair psychological evaluation. Goodness you are amazing.

What's repulsive is that a sitting president of the U.S.A. continues to go on comedy talk shows and meet with gangsta rappers or celebrities instead of meeting with other heads of state (Israel) and members of congress to try and reach some common ground and actually get things done in this country.

Every time he goes on Letterman or the Daily Show or The View he's diminishing the integrity of the position of the presidency of the U.S. You never saw Ronald Regan on some comedy talk show while he was a sitting president, instead he was working on getting things done for the benefit of America.

Obama is a sociopath. He's not concerned with the state of our union, he's only concerned with having his name in history books. I don't care much for Romney either but at least he supposedly didn't even want to run for president (his wife and oldest son had to talk him into it) which tells me he's not running for the presidency for personal gratification but rather actually trying to fix our economy, etc.

Whoa, that must be from WikiLeaks because every one of those tactics was used during the last debate.

To my forum detractors, please note:

Stewart said it was not the optimal response.

Obama said if four Americans get killed, it is not optimal.

Context is everything.

I am sure I'm not the first one to tell you that we are still paying (4000livesandcounting) for GWB mis interpreting intel. Last I heard GWB was drawing canines and BO is still running the country.

The optimal response in 2012 vote the least optimal candidate out of office.

Ps never let them get to you keep calling it like you see it, come election day things go like we all think their heads are going to be exploding.

What a sight it will be to see

Does this look serious to you?


The truth is Obama does not need any more controversy right now and if this "not optimal" debate grows any legs, he will then have no choice but to throw Jon Stewart under the bus for making him repeat those exact words.

So he smiled at some point during the interview...that's where your anger comes from?


Did you even watch the video? It was a sober discussion concerning a terrible incident.


The ignorance surrounding this is just mindblowing. No matter who wins this election, I've given up on the intelligence of many of my fellow Americans.

I guess only way to make some people happy would be if Obama didn't speak to anyone at all. Wait... no they'd still whine and cry. No win.

Attack me and not the argument.

Here is another analysis.
You have proven that you are not able to debate, and this frustrates you to attack others.

If he didn't give interviews they would moan about how he's hiding something.


Their loudest idiot, Rush Limbaugh said it best: "The dirty little secret is that every Republican in this country wants Obama to fail, but none of them have the guts to say so; I am willing to say it"


They don't care if Americans succeed, they just want to see failure

Are you repulsed when you Romeny holds fundraisers in the Cayman Islands with REAL gangsters, you know the bankers, lobbyists and CEOs that screwed over the country?



Romney Party Yacht Flies Cayman Islands Flag


Gov. Mitt Romney's campaign toasted its top donors Wednesday aboard a 150-foot yacht flying the flag of the Cayman Islands.

The floating party, hosted by a Florida developer on his yacht "Cracker Bay," was one of a dozen exclusive events meant to nurture those who have raised more than $1 million for Romney's bid.

Your outrage doesn't make sense. That is why everyone is clowning on you. Obama said American deaths are a bad thing. He used the word optimal because Stewart said it in the question he asked Obama.



There is absolutely NO joking in this video, he is serious. What are you complaining about?


edit on 19-10-2012 by 3chainz because: (no reason given)


The outrage makes perfect sense to people who understand the situation. The truth is nobody cares about some suit getting killed in the middle east. The American people are numb to it hell we saw a mans head get cut off this is nothing. But to those of us paying attention it shows the lack of responsibility obama's admin takes in even protecting his own people "government people". You add in the fast and furious case where he used executive privilege to keep Eric holders arse out of the fire for basically the same thing and you get a clear picture this administration holds no responsibility for any of their actions even the ones that get people killed.lol and that's dealing with ambassadors and boarder patrol agents.

What about us little people, average joe's. Think about it!

This is the only REAL Topic, that needs to be Addressed. Just another broken SPOKE, in the wheel of this administration. His RECORD is the only thing, Americans need to worry about. He doesn't deserve another 4 years.


PERIOD.
