Obama has officially jumped the shark. Not only did Obama compare the recently killed embassy staff in Libya to his campaign volunteers, he also compared our troops to his campaign volunteers. This is not only stupid, it’s insulting. Especially to the families of the deceased in Libya, and the families of the troops.
And obviously [our] hearts are broken for the families but I wanted to encourage those folks at the State Dept. that they were making a difference,” Obama told volunteer leaders in Las Vegas, according to the pool report. “The sacrifices that our troops and our diplomats make are obviously very different from the challenges that we face here domestically but like them, you guys are Americans who sense that we can do better than we’re doing….I’m just really proud of you.”
