‘You’re Out of Your Mind!’: Romney Surrogate Sununu Clashes With CNN Anchor Over Defending Obama

Former New Hampshire governor and Romney surrogate John Sununu has clashed with CNN’s Soledad O’Brien in the past (remember when he told her to put a Obama bumper sticker on her forehead?), and Wednesday morning the two were at it again discussing last night’s presidential debate.

Specifically, the two discussed the September 11 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, and whether Mitt Romney missed an opportunity to explain the repeated contradictions in the administration’s response.

O’Brien begins by playing edited clips of the debate, in which Romney says it took the president two weeks to admit the attack was actually a “terrorist attack,” before moderator Candy Crowley intervenes to say the president did refer to an act of terror the next day in the Rose Garden. After applause for the president, Crowley also says Mitt Romney had the right “idea,” however, and that the administration did spend roughly two weeks claiming the incident was a spontaneous protest in response to a YouTube video.

After O’Brien concludes “that’s what happened,” Snunu objects.

“The fact is that in that Rose Garden speech, the president first [said] it was the video, and then two weeks later at the U.N. the president goes out and tells the world six times it’s the video. The president got caught lying last night, and I think the world should know that!”

After O’Brien plays a clip from the Rose Garden speech, proving that Obama did in fact say the word “terror,” Sununu responds:

“You left out the first part, and it’s the first part where he’s trying to tell the American public that it’s because somebody in the U.S. used their [First Amendment] right and made a video… that caused the problem.

“This is ridiculous that you’re trying to defend the president, who [five] days later sends out his Ambassador to the U.N. to five talk shows to say it’s the video. And two weeks later the president goes to the international stage and says ‘video’ six times! That’s ridiculous that you’re trying to defend him on this.”

When O’Brien attempts to place herself somewhat on Sununu’s “side,” saying Romney missed a real opportunity on Libya, Sununu remains unmoved:

“No, because what he did was put this in the conversation again. And now people understand that the president and his ambassador for the U.N., and Jay Carney, and all the apologists for this White House, and all the groupies on television that are trying to cover his butt have been lying about the president trying to deceive America that that tragedy was the result of a video, rather than acknowledging right from the beginning that this was a well-planned, well-executed terrorist attack…

As O’Brien once again tries to point out that President Obama did mention terror in the Rose Garden speech, Sununu concluded dismissively: “This is ridiculous, and if you’re going to dwell on this, you’re out of your mind.”

Since our founding, the United States has been a nation that respects all faiths. We reject all efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. But there is absolutely no justification to this type of senseless violence. None. The world must stand together to unequivocally reject these brutal acts. – Barack Obama

4th paragraph – Rose Garden speech 9/12/12

Soledad sounds like she sucks on something all the time. Or someone wets her lips and sticks her to a wall. She needs speech therapy. Or perhaps this is how she made it to be an anchor at cnn.

Do I dare use the liberal line they spoke about Romney after the first debate….”if his lips were moving he was lying”…….and he fulfilled their wildest dreams…..it was easier to count on one hand the times he WASN”T lying!!! If he or his cronies ever told the truth they would be dropped faster than a bad habit!

Romney missed the opportunity to tell the folks last night that Obama didn’t answer the man’s original question: why didn’t you get the embassy more security after so many requests? Obama only promised to get the bottom of who did the attacks. Obama never touched the question, just promises that he was going to find out who did it.

Romney also missed another opportunity by harping on the term act of terrorism. He may have used it, but it was overshadowed by the video comments. That’s the point, Obama may “mention” terrorist attack, but his emphasis was on “video” as the cause. Whether it Obama used the term or not, Obama wanted to connect the attack (planned or spontaneous) to a video, not the president’s weakness as a leader and his pathetic policies. It should have been a matter of course to beef up security on the 11th anniversary of 911.

Pick one sentence out of a whole speech and try and make it sound like it’s describing an event he’s not evening talking about at the time.

Soledad, you’re pretty but that’s about the end of your usefulness…

Other than that, it seems the space between your ears has been hollowed out and one of Obama’s teleprompters has been placed where a human organ (possibly) once resided…

And I agree… EVEN IF B.H.O. acknowledged it was a terror attack in the Rose Garden Speech, that makes his Lie about the video (and subsequent arrest of the creator of it) that much worse… Since then he knowingly lied, instead of just “acting stupidly” (as he likes to call it) by shooting first and aiming later…

That has been the story of HIS WHOLE admin..

I hope in the last debate that Romney, in a manner befitting a President, calls obama out on this blatant lie and does not allow some P.O.S. moderator to interrupt him.What Candy Crowley did was shameful. CNN should have fired her on the spot, I mean right there during the debate. Soledad knows the truth also. This is terrible. I fear for this nation when our journalists are so brazen they can look America in the eye and say, “watch our channel, we give you the REAL news”, I think our country is about to fall, ladies and gentlemen. Only a miracle can save us now. Pray very hard folks.

Me likey Sununu! He is at the age where PC doesn’t mean much. You know, don’t say something to someone derogetory or tinged with a hint of color as you may offend. Well, my guess is that this is exactly why the progressives passed or pushed this stupid PC crap because the truth usually does offend the offender.
Keep it up my brother, I hope you get all them little blow holes for the president panties in a bunch!

If Obama is 100% for the “middle class”, which now seems to be anyone making less than $45,000 a year, WHY DOES HE NOT extend the Bush tax rates permanently?? Why is he only going to do it for one year? This needs to be brought up and it’s being overlooked! Look likes Obama will raise taxes on middle class after that one year time period to pay for obamacare!

CNN keeps spinning like the president. The news media should be held liable and commentators should have license, which could be revoked along with heavy fines.

Dora Glassberg, Obama loves Islamism. He said, “the most beautiful sound he’s ever heard is the Muslim call to prayer.” He said, “When the winds of change get ugly, I will stand with the Muslims.”. He was raised by 2 Islamic, Marxist fathers, (his real father abandoned him as a baby to pursue his Marxism),a white Communist mother (until she abandoned him at age 10 to pursue Communism and study Russian some more) and 2 Communist white grandparents. He was enrolled as a “Muslim” in his school in Indonesia. His college was paid for by Islamists and he has been getting campaign contributions from Islamists who operate under nations and organizations with written directives to behead all of us who will not submit to Islamism. He has appointed Islamists with the same oppressive, murderous goals to positions of power. Hillary Clinton’s top advisor is Huma Abedin, tied to the Muslim Brotherhood terrorist group. Obama invites terrorists to America (Ahmadinejad, Muslim Brotherhood, Black Panthers, etc.) into the White House and gives them credibility on the world stage. His administration is trying to install Islamic Supremecism and Islamic Sharia Law (oppressive, bloody, murderous, barbaric law) into the American legal system. He told the UN a few weeks ago “The future does not belong to those who insult the prophet of Islam.” He may be wearing a ring (for over 25 yrs) that says, “There is no god but Allah & Mohammed is his messenger.”

  To Dora Glassbrg continued…wearing the ring since before he was married to Michelle (the America-hater) by the violent, racist, intolerant Black Liberation Theology cult pastor Jeremiah Wright. Sooooo, how long will it be before Obama’s Islamic Shariah Law tells you that YOU can’t come out of your house without a cloth prison on (hijab or burqua) and that you cannot come out without a male escort from your family, either a husband, son, father, uncle, because a woman is not worthy to come out alone? And if she does come out alone or out from under the cloth prison, the males in her family are obligated to “honor kill” her. Are you looking forward to that? You are probably a Jew based on your name so you should really be afraid of Obama’s Islamism & hatred for Israel. You are delusional. Get some facts & see all the girls and women who have been “honor killed” or burned with boiling oil or acid or had their noses, lips, ears, hands, feet cut off. Seriously, see the pictures here http://www.atlasshrugs.com, http://www.frontpagemag.com. And let’s not forget the way they take young girls and perform female genital mutilation on them because that’s what Islamic Shariah Law requires. Are you looking forward to all the wonderful things that will be done because of you and Obama supporters like you?

Soledad O’Brien and Debbie Wasserman Schultz among other airheads are all cut from the same cloth. I can only describe it as nauseating.

Sununu did a good job keeping O’brien in line. Soledad is a typical leftwing reporter always taking up for obama. The news is so in the tank for obama it is almost sickening. I have no regard for any opinions of any MSM media types. They are communist and are worthless people. They have ruined the news-business forever. They have taken their masks of neutrality off forever and exposed themselves as marxist and propagandists for the left. We will never forget their display of anti-Americanism.
