President Obama's statement on the attack in Benghazi

Statement by the President on the Attack in Benghazi

I strongly condemn the outrageous attack on our diplomatic facility in Benghazi, which took the lives of four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens. Right now, the American people have the families of those we lost in our thoughts and prayers. They exemplified America's commitment to freedom, justice, and partnership with nations and people around the globe, and stand in stark contrast to those who callously took their lives.

I have directed my Administration to provide all necessary resources to support the security of our personnel in Libya, and to increase security at our diplomatic posts around the globe. While the United States rejects efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others, we must all unequivocally oppose the kind of senseless violence that took the lives of these public servants.

On a personal note, Chris was a courageous and exemplary representative of the United States. Throughout the Libyan revolution, he selflessly served our country and the Libyan people at our mission in Benghazi. As Ambassador in Tripoli, he has supported Libya's transition to democracy. His legacy will endure wherever human beings reach for liberty and justice. I am profoundly grateful for his service to my Administration, and deeply saddened by this loss.

The brave Americans we lost represent the extraordinary service and sacrifices that our civilians make every day around the globe. As we stand united with their families, let us now redouble our own efforts to carry their work forward.

3. See how the President didn't mention you, Mitt?

Because, no matter how hard you try, this tragedy has nothing to do with the election. You are beneath the President's notice when it comes to him actually doing the job of President.

I'd say you should study this statement to learn how Presidents do things, but there's no chance you're ever going to be President, so why bother?

4. Does Obama Write Speeches?

Does Obama get time from his busy schedule to write his long speeches? USA is a vast country. If they spend 1 hour thinking of the speech and writing it, when do they get time for their family and country?
