Mr. President, how about addressing the nation from the Oval Office, and giving the American people a statement about these embassy burnings?  No politics.  No blaming Bush or telling us it happened because Romney is wealthy.  Just a serious non-politicized presidential address, with some papers in your hand to refer to.

We have Muslim flags flying over our embassies and you’re setting up a lousy filmmaker to take the fall.  Explain this to us, will you?  There are a few people curious, even though the media isn’t.  Quit responding to everything Romney said and try responding to attacks and assassinations happening to our embassies and ambassador.  Pretend a Republican did it.  Talk to us and do something about this.  Presidents used to take this kind of attack seriously and were expected to address us.  It wasn’t an unreasonable expectation. Tell us why your response to an act of war is to get a video pulled from YouTube.

Which brings us to a real irony.  Nobody has any expectations from you, and this is after campaigning on being supremely capable.  Now you’re campaigning by telling us we can expect even less from Romney.  Yeah, that’s a good way to get people to run out to the polls in November.
