Romney is Right

If you haven't ever visited evangelicalsformitt.org, it's run by an incredible couple that live in Tennessee.  He is a lawyer that works for freedom of religion and related issues; he also served us in the military in Iraq a few years back.  She is a mom of I think three kids, one adopted from Africa.  Just a great couple.

She has an additional thought and link on the feckless wolf-pack approach to Romney in the media the past couple of days that I think are worth reading.  Also a nice way to get acquainted with them and their blog.

Here are the questions the media should be asking of Obama (by the way, have you noticed how unavailable Obama is to the media - but do you hear them complain about it?  and did you know that while the media was focused on Romney, and while these tragedies were occurring at our embassies, Obama was off at a campaign fundraising event in Vegas?  What a leader!):

- Why did the embassy release a statement that the administration in Washington then had to counter?  
- What protocols were set up for emergency communications at the embassies in this dangerous part of the world?
- What kind of security was set up at these embassies?  
- Who was protecting the diplomates? 
- What are you going to tell the world about that video, America's founding principles of freedom, about respect, about rule of law?
- What is your message to our enemies?
- What are you going to say and do so this doesn't happen again?

How about asking those questions of Obama?  And why haven't they been asked already?  

There are so many questions that need to be asked directly of Obama right now.  Take this article, well worth the read.  An excerpt:

No one in this administration seems to fathom what the attacks on our diplomatic missions on the anniversary of 9/11 were all about. Instead in adolescent fashion, the president, our ambassadors, and, most culpably, the secretary of state remain sort of stunned that reset, the Cairo speech, the al Arabiya interview, the euphemisms, the ad nauseam “we are not Bush” apologies — all that and more — did not prevent the assassination of a U.S. ambassador, the sacking of a consulate, and the attempted storming of a U.S. embassy.

Islamists, apparently more than we do, understand America — someone educated in the U.S., like Mohamed Morsi, especially. They privately accept both that this obscure video (like a papal quotation of a Byzantine text, a supposedly burned Koran, a purportedly flushed Koran, a novel, a cartoon, etc.) has nothing to do with the American government; but for the ignorant masses on the Arab Street these totems can be used as successful pretexts to whip up anti-Americanism. But here is the key: What drives the Islamists’ venomous anti-Americanism?
