Op-ed:

"We leave nobody behind"...oh really

By: Diane Sori

 

Boy am I mad...seething in fact! 

Yesterday, Barack HUSSEIN Obama had the audacity to issue this statement, “This is a tough time for a lot of people; millions of folks all across the Eastern Seaboard, but America's tougher. And we're tougher because we pull together, we leave nobody behind, we make sure we respond as a nation and remind ourselves that whenever an American is in need, all of stand together to make sure we're providing the help that's necessary.  

Oh really...what about the 4 Americans deliberately and with malice left behind to be brutally slaughtered in Benghazi...what about them...was it a tough time for them...

Telling ‘We the People’ something he didn’t believe during the seven-hour attack on our consulate in Benghazi that when an American is in need…'we leave nobody behind,' this miserable excuse of a president is using the suffering of those currently hurting from the storm while playing to the media for attention in the waning days of his faltering campaign.   

These four words ‘we leave nobody behind’ are especially vile for the question as to why this was done still looms large and still goes unanswered.

And while both Obama and Mitt Romney have toned down the campaign rhetoric during this time of crisis, one is out there rolling up his sleeves and actually doing something of substance while the other makes speeches and visits a Red Cross shelter for a photo-op.  

As Obama heads off today to survey devastated New Jersey with camera and media crews right by his side, the difference between him and Mitt Romney becomes even more apparent.  Mitt Romney is NOT issuing perfunctory statements or making a token appearance but instead is organizing caravans of food, water, and needed supplies to send to the devastated areas.  And he's doing the roll up your sleeves hands-on work of boxing and loading said goods.  

The storm called al-Qaeda brewed and simmered for months in Benghazi and Obama did nothing yet covered-up everything...but when a storm named Sandy blows through in a day he’s on it as fast as you can say ‘photo-op.’   While as president it is his duty to help Americans after a natural disaster it is also his duty as Commander-in Chief to help Americans in need in foreign lands especially when those Americans are there in service to our country.  

Obama failed Ambassador Stevens and the others, now we’ll see if he fails and leaves behind those hurt by the storm.  He’ll say the right words so needed for his campaign fodder but will he follow-up on those words with much needed actions...I think we all know the answer to that.
