Politician-in-Chief accuses Mitt Romney of playing politics; Libya, Egypt, embassy debacle

President Obama, his campaign spokesman, Ben LaBolt, and the mainstream media on Wednesday tried to deflect attention from the administration's failure to protect and rescue four U.S.diplomats killed in Libya on Tuesday by rebuking Mitt Romney.

Mr. Romney criticized the administration's actions during the crisis and its failure to focus solely on the task at hand: protecting and rescuing the U.S. diplomats.

Biden said that Obama's vote to cut off funding of the troops was political, and harmful to the troops.

Just one example, among several......
