"Not Optimal": Conservative Media Use Incomplete Report To Smear Obama As Callous Toward American Deaths

Conservative media figures are taking a partial quote from President Obama out of context in order to attack him as reacting callously to the deaths of U.S. diplomatic personnel.

In an appearance taped today for The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, President Obama was asked if communication between government personnel had failed to provide "the optimal response" to the Benghazi attacks. Obama replied in part: "If four Americans get killed, it's not optimal. We're going to fix it. All of it. And what happens, during the course of a presidency, is that the government is a big operation and any given time something screws up. And you make sure that you find out what's broken and you fix it."

Conservative media figures like Matt Drudge, Monica Crowley, Hugh Hewitt, Mary Katherine Ham,John Podhoretz, Jonah Goldberg, Erick Erickson and outlets like Fox Nation all used early reports of Obama's comments to attack him, with several falsely suggesting that Obama had said the deaths of American personnel in Benghazi, and not the communications effort, was "not optimal."

Erick Erickson got sane for about 5 minutes, now he's thrown back in with the scumbags.

What did the lying Democrats do to Romney's 47% quote......take it out of context....mis-represent what his point was....and lie....

He said his lowering income taxes wouldn't resonate with that group because they don't have income taxes to lower.....

The right wing accepts these tactics and embraces thugs. This information just means they have someone to look up to. The GOP is like the Mafia.
 
For Obama, it was when comedian Jon Stewart — in a mostly serious interview — asked about the administration’s changing explanations of the attacks in Benghazi, Libya, that killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans. "I would say and even you would admit it was not the optimal response — at least to the American people as far as all of us being on the same page," Stewart said.


"Here is what I will say, if four Americans get killed it is not optimal," Obama replied.
