I watched the interview and do have context for the President's remark. He did not say that the Ambassador was not optimal. (Indeed, the comments about the Ambassador have been nothing but positive.) Obama was responding to a question from Stewart which used the word "optimal" in asking about the manner in which information about the attack came out. Obama's response was that what happened at the compound was not optimal - i.e. it was not a result that he wanted.

I quoted the mother of slain diplomat Sean Smith... I never mentioned Obama once. Geez

And that's the main problem. No context at all.

Geez

Slang for Gesus?

What it that supposed to mean?

The wing wankers are getting all tumescent over a single phrase from the President's appearance on The Daily Show. It's even more juvenile and contrived than their usual idiocy.

The fools can't even get it right. The internet is full of "less than optimal", parroting a headline in the Moonie Times, but that's not what the President said. They also omit the entire context of the statement.

Here is the entire statement and the question to which it was a response. See if you find anything..... anything wrong with what the President said.

Yeah, just watched the interview.......So what? He admits that his administrations response was "less than optimal" and the party of childish whiners throws a temper tantrum.................Over what?

John, the election draws near and their asshat candidate still stands a very real chance of LOSING. That's what this is all about. Remember all of the screaming, crying, soiling of diapers after the 2008 election? You aint seen nothing yet. If they lose this one and don't get their teabagger fantasy world pacifier to suck on, the spoiled little piglet tantrums will be out of control and even more ridiculous than ever before.

The thing is, Stewart used the term "optimal" in the question. President Obama simply repeated the word in his answer but that's enough to send these idiots into orbit.

Bull chit Dave... What he said...

“Here’s what I’ll say. When four Americans get killed, it’s not optimal. We’re going to fix it. All of it,”


His words...

WTF, why was he on a show like this with just weeks before an election..? Stupid.

Actually no, links are your friend when you quote from copyrighted material. The rules of this board provide:

More than just the rules of the board, failing to provide citations affects one's credibility, and it detracts from useful context that will give meaning to the material posted.
