More Fallout from The Worst Foreign Policy Disaster in Decades!

"Our country is stronger, safer and more respected in the world."

President Obama, in his Weekly Radio Address
commemorating the September 11th attacks of 2001.

Three days later all hell breaks loose in the Middle East with hardly a word from Obama. As Americans were being killed in Libya and our flag ripped down in Cairo he was busy giving an interview to a Florida radio personality named "Pimp with a Limp." The day after the 9/11/12 attacks he hit the campaign trail for a fundraiser and event in Las Vegas, skipping the in person national security briefing in the week before the attacks. When a spokesperson was asked why Obama attended only 43% of these briefings, the aide responded that the President found them "not particularly interesting or useful." No surprise from a President who has spent more time fundraising and campaigning than ANY of his predecessors.

The consequence of Obama's inattention to these matters, combined with his radical left wing proclivity to take American down a peg and "lead from behind" is clear for all to see. Except of course that the same news media which jumped all over Mitt Romney, won't be bothered to ask tough questions of the President.

While most of the media is covering up for Obama's incompetence, a few editorial boards get it. Here's an editorial from Investor's Business Daily:

Journalism: In just several days the dangerous ineptitude of U.S. foreign policy has been fully exposed. But instead of reporting this meltdown, the media use it to further hurt the candidate they oppose.

In his weekly address to the nation last week commemorating the 11th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, President Obama claimed that "we've strengthened our alliances while improving our security here at home." He boasted that more than 3-1/2 years into his presidency, "our country is stronger, safer and more respected in the world."

Those assertions would be fodder for the most blistering attacks from the mainstream media if this president were a conservative Republican instead of the furthest-to-the-left Democrat ever to sit in the Oval Office.
...
What could be more symbolic of the failures of the Obama foreign policy than the contrast of hearing the president and his surrogates repeatedly touting the killing of Osama bin Laden by a U.S. Seal team with pictures of the American flag replaced by al-Qaida's menacing black standard at the U.S. Embassy in Tunis?

It's the kind of stuff that's made for TV news, and would certainly lead off the Big Three networks' evening newscasts if it were a President McCain or Bush in office.

The photos of a U.S. ambassador dying in the streets would be declared the death knell of any GOP president running for re-election.

But our media, in a chilling threat to voters' ability to choose a national leader based on accurate reporting of fact, used the Libyan disaster to attack ... Mitt Romney.

Romney laudably condemned our Cairo embassy's apology — issued before the Libyan carnage, then repeated afterward — sympathizing with the attackers.

The media immediately echoed Obama talking points and for days absurdly have made Romney's statement the story, claiming that Obama and Secretary Hillary Clinton aren't responsible for what U.S. embassies say.

The truth is that the Middle East is now on fire, precisely because of a policy of appeasement toward Islamists exemplified by that embassy statement.

That's the real issue here: The U.S. has taken a stance of provocative apologizing toward those who stand under that black al-Qaida flag.

"I've come here to Cairo," Obama said three years ago, "to seek a new beginning between the United States and Muslims around the world, one based on ... that America and Islam are not exclusive and need not be in competition. Instead, they overlap."

It has indeed been a new beginning, but one based on an increasingly obvious new American weakness in the Mideast that the media ignore out of their own political preferences.

A rare exception to the herd of Democrat journalists covering up for Obama was columnist Kirsten Powers who said:

The thing is, the outrage that has been expressed over the fact that Mitt Romney put out this statement has even overshadowed any kind of outrage that you would see over the fact that you have Islamic flags being hoisted over American embassies, the fact that an American ambassador is dead. You just are not seeing the same level of outrage over just the process of what time he put the statement out. It is just absolutely, utterly insane the way that they have elevated this.

So, rather than question the Obama Administration policy for the Middle East or their preparedness for these attacks, the media simply repeats the specious Obama claim that this worldwide conflagration was the result of outrage over a stupid Internet video that few have ever seen. We're supposed to believe it is just a coincidence these protest started on September 11th.

Four Americans are dead. Our embassies across a wide expanse of the world are either in flames or under lock down. The Black Flag of Al Queda and radical Islam has taken the place of Old Glory. And still, no one in the "news" media dares to question Obama.

This is the consequence of Obama's weak, failed policy and the media's duplicity:

GONE: U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens, 
former Navy SEAL Glen Doherty, Tyrone S. Woods 
and Diplomat Sean Smith.

When do we get some answers from the man who reminded us in his Convention speech "I am the President?"
