The 11th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks was a really bad day for America. We had embassies in Libya and Egypt attacked, our flags torn down and burned, replaced by black alQaeda flags, and one of our ambassadors killed. In response, the embassy in Cairo issued an apology for the "hurt feelings" of Muslims over a movie which was reportedly 'unfavorable' to Muhammad. Not only did they apologize for hurting their feelings, they admonished the film maker for using free speech to "insult" Muslims. In light of all this, Obama was on the golf course, to get in a few rounds between campaign stops, and eventually the State Department issued a tepid statement of blanket 'condemnation' for the acts.
What was Romney doing? Well, his team was sending out Facebook notices for supporters to order yard signs, which.. get this, they have to PAY for! So not only does he seem to be completely disconnected from the disgusting and deplorable events of the day, he's busy hocking yard signs, as if he actually NEEDS us to buy them from him! AMAZING! I am genuinely embarrassed for him and his campaign team. Are they this completely inept? Do they not realize how this came across? I'm relatively sure Romney's foremost concern today, was not whether or not he sold some yard signs, and I am fairly certain he has heard news reports of what is happening over there. It would seem to me, I don't know, maybe a good time to point out the Obama administrations feckless foreign policy with regard to the Middle East? Perhaps remind people that Obama, Democrats and Liberals, supported the "Arab Spring" and the overthrow of Mubarak and Qadaffi, while the Tea Party warned of dire consequences? But nope... the selling of some yard signs was much more important, apparently.
This is why I have said, the GOP picked the wrong guy. He is as 'politically tone deaf' as George W. Bush, and he is literally losing an election that should be a slam dunk, right before our eyes. All I can say is, God help us the next 4 years.
