"[T]he issue" is precisely what I noted in an earlier post in this thread, viz.:

Quote:
Politicians--and this goes double (or even triple) during the final days of a campaign--should be very careful about their word selection. And President Obama simply threw caution to the wind here.
If you really do not see (at least) the potential for the president's offending some people with these ill-considered remarks, then you are simply in denial, in my opinion...

What I am saying is if four Americans are dead it obviously wasn't optimal. Seems like a good analysis

And if someone's mother was raped, would you say to that person "That is one of the most horrible things that could happen" or would you say "That is not optimal"?...

You know...being a "good analysis" and all...

jeezuz in heav'n who cares he used the word optimal? does it have a secret code i don't know about?
this controversy shows how the pacs are keenly aware of our lack of education. what with pundits hurling it and other pundits dodging it. if someone asked me about it on camera i'd say , 'yeah? and then what?'
with a smirky look on my face.
this iz soooo dumb

It's more than not optimal. It's a failure of the administration that didn't even consider such a thing taking place...in Libya...on 9-11. And all Obama has come out with is ridiculous statements one after the other. It was a video, we had some speed bumps (dead people), them dying wasn't optimal, still not one time he called this a terrorist attack and the BS ducking of the OA.

Here's some good analysis, Obama is an idiot.

Is the security around your mother optimal? Well, If she was raped it wasn't optimal.


Yeah, That is real tough to see

Obama didn't say "not optimal" referring to security...He said it referring to the DEATHS!...

In that part you are right, he showed he didn't care about the four dead Americans from day one, and continues to show us his election is the only thing on his mind.
