If Obama responded too fast to Hurricane Sandy, wouldn't he have responded too fast to Benghazi too?

[ck4829]

Brownie and Newt Gingrich are saying Obama responded too fast to Hurricane Sandy, this has got me wondering about what if the perceived response to what happened in Benghazi was instantaneous.

What would be some of the buzzwords?

"Jumped the gun"
"Didn't wait until the all the facts were in"
"Reckless"

Whatever Republicans can think up that could be bad for Obama that could possibly, they have documents and prepared speeches blasting him for one of the ways he could respond to the event, and they have another set of documents and prepared speeches blasting him for the other way he could have responded to the event.

Bet on it.

1. Buzz words

Here's what the buzz words could have been..... We saved the life of the Ambassador to Libya and several of his staff.

2. Apples and oranges.

Newt and Brownie are absolutely wrong about Hurricane Sandy. We can see a hurricane approaching in real time several days in advance (thanks to science and communications) so it makes sense to prepare before it hits.

We don't know the facts about the Benghazi attack, whether it was a spontaneous attack or planned in advance or what the intelligence was about it. We can't make a judgment based on insufficient information.

However, I agree with your general point about Repubs criticizing from any and every angle (even when they contradict themselves).

3. Talk about an line of attack that won't stick

I totally expected that to be an article on The Onion, when I first saw the reference to it.
