Press Secretary Jay Carney saying.

Is it seems much of the Muslim world of his in making -- -- that Bank of America.

That all of these demonstrations and violence assassinations.

Are not about the Obama doctor and Obama policies or America.

One of the world are what is going on.

To quote the reverend Jeremiah Wright chickens are coming home to roost.

Or Barack Obama I mean this is a president who went out there to the Middle East apologize for our history there.

Try to appease them showed a lack of strength and resolve.

In terms of American foreign policy.

And is getting it is reaping the world right now.

It was such a sad.

And and solemn ceremony Tuesday it Anders air force bases.

As for Americans bodies were returned to this country.

All I could I could think at the at the outset of that ceremony as the president and the secretary of state so there was this is the president who decided.

And is this tragic event unfolded.

To not change is scheduled to go out to las in Las -- campaign and that's -- rather than the worst and disposed.

What's what what -- your mind is one of their minds could be going.

I think every calculation in the White House today.

-- even the death of an ambassador.

It's free food through the campaign.

In Chicago.

And how do we play this in order to get an advantage over the Republicans and Mitt Romney.

And I think this is the I think that's all they're thinking about.

Romney criticized roundly in the mainstream media group for his criticism President Obama is.

What he termed as.

Failure to leave here.

It is I have not quite ever seen the likes of -- and which in lockstep the mainstream media picked up on main.

And decided that it was -- gaffe.

Rather than an honest expression of his views of what would be his policies if elected I -- same thing that happened to Romney when he went abroad.

Went to Israel and said some very strong things that Israel.

Which was.

Proper and actually well thought through and again it was described with a mainstream media as a -- He's not running Romney is not simply running against Barack Obama.

He's running against the mainstream media.

Well and he's running against some interest in forces at work off from the left Credo super.

Calling Republicans -- is more effective and cronyism policy Matthew.

Arnold the national campaign manager of Credo saying.

When we said that Steve King congressman of Iowa conservatives pro life from -- in cutting Social Security.

In voted for the Ryan budget no one care.

When we said Steve kings are racist.

That Steve King believes that immigrants ought to be put it in electric prince's.

People -- -- -- you know just -- of course I -- but you know I'm thinking of who is the top of the Democratic.

Party Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

Who is the chairman of the Democratic National Committee.

And here's a woman -- -- -- we've not heard from.

For some time that's right I wonder why they they've muscles are but I mean here she said that -- -- Israeli ambassador.

Characterize the Republicans is dangerous when he never did that she denied the chips that it.

And then of course there was a tape recording executive producer -- and made but this kind of vicious.

Partisanship seems to start at the top.

And that's the democratic way I'd like our producers to check -- but I don't.

Leave that she has been engaged in an area.

And public statement.

Speech since.

She had to -- Knowledge that -- had lied in public.

-- -- Let me ask you this -- -- you look at these numbers.

It's seems that this president I can't imagine.

Germany president's.

-- these kinds of forces whether -- be.

His foreign policy and absolute tatters.

In the Middle East he did this economy struggling -- best.

He is standing up in the polls what does that -- for -- -- doesn't ordered good.

If that's English for November.

And it orders did it tells the story seems to me you may not agree with -- That the Republican campaign.

Of Mitt Romney hasn't yet.

Gotten itself into gear.

And that this president is eminently beatable.

Given everything that you've just described and yet Romney can't seem to make that headway against him are.

We are told -- -- -- commercials both have an event Mars or here she returns through the -- can't wait I can't wait to the public arena and Youngstown Ohio Ed Klein author of the amateur.
