[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Actually Jeff, our "critical of Obama" thread is actually a critical of posters on DCUM. You said the Obama administration threw Muslims under the bus then went on to talk about others. You didn't talk about Obama at all. You didn't mention his quote about calling this a bump in the road. You didn't talk about how multiple people he spoke directly with (Clinton, Cutler, etc) told lies that he was ok with-- and has yet to correct. You weren't critical of him trotting off to Las Vegas the day after the attack for a campaign event.

In all actuality you weren't critical of Obama at all. This is hat makes me think that you have very selective criticism and a pretty bad case of Romney Dereanged Syndrome. [/quote]

You joined this conversation by comparing a former Navy SEAL to a cartoon bird. You have not backed down from that comparison one inch. All you are doing is trying to change the subject. You may not think my criticism of Obama is strong enough, but I am sure that it is a far stronger than any criticism you have made of Romney.

Here is what Romney did: He looked at polls showing that voters believe he lacks empathy. He learned that he once met a former Navy SEAL who was killed in Benghazi. He then reminisced about that meeting as if it has been a meaningful experience and broke down with emotion. Empathy + implicit criticism of Obama = win for Romney. Except, that it was all fake. The meeting with the SEAL wasn't meaningful. The emotion is obviously false. It is just another case of Romney saying or doing anything to get elected. I think exploiting the death of the SEAL in this manner is disgraceful. You think it is like using Big Bird in a commercial. We disagree. If you want to wed yourself to Romney so strongly that you have to put yourself in this position, that is obviously your choice. But, it is clearly not me who is suffering from derangement (or "dereangement" as you might put it since you put such an important emphasis on spelling).
