Obama will handle the Libya crisis...

in his usual calm, cool and collected way working with Secretary Clinton. Meanwhile Mitt Romney will over-react (as he already has) and will attack the President of the United States in a time of crisis and go overboard in anti-Muslim rhetoric.

I think most thinking Americans will see the difference and will be thankful we have President Obama handling at the helm and not that hysterical Mitt Romney.

Just my two-cents.

I think he and Secretary Clinton will come out with a strong statement delivered in a calm and cool manner.

By God, they can't kill one of our diplomats, we have to bomb these "terrorists" with shock and awe, that'll teach them!

I expect this kind of reaction from the right wingers.

and everything it is costing us in blood and treasure. Most Americans have learned their lesson about such reckless foreign policies as we endured during the Bush years.

Besides, Obama has been Cool Hand Luke from the start of his administration. First, with the Somali pirates and then later with getting Bin Laden. We know that Obama can be tough indeed and won't put up with any sh*t. But not to the extent that we have wars.

as news media picks this up and fans the flames into a prefect firestorm. There are already concerns in Afghanistan and Algeria.

And send him over there ASAP to discuss his film with his most outspoken critics.

They might have a change of heart. You never know.

Send him over there and maybe air lift him down into the crowds and let him preach, and perhaps burn some books....

present administration handles foreign affairs. At this point, it is sorta like allowing Mickey Mouse to comment on current foreign affairs. I believe this is treason.

Remember when they claimed that Khomeini wanted Carter re-elected because they didn't want to face a tough guy like Ronald--arms for hostages--Reagan?
