Obama says American deaths in Benghazi 'not optimal' (UPDATE)

Who talks like this?! One joker to another...

Breitbart: Today, according to the White House pool report, President Obama told Jon Stewart during a Comedy Central Daily Show taping that the deaths of our ambassador to Libya and three other Americans were “not optimal.” This comes just weeks after President Obama told CBS News’ Steve Kroft on 60 Minutes that the murders of four Americans in Benghazi were “bumps in the road.” By way of contrast, President Obama described the YouTube video “The Innocence of Muslims,” which had nothing to do with the Benghazi attacks, as “crude and disgusting,” an “insult,” and said that its message “must be rejected by all who respect our common humanity.”

To reiterate: deaths of Americans are “not optimal,” and “bumps in the road.” A YouTube video is “bigotry,” “blasphemy,” “crude and disgusting,” an “insult,” and inhuman.

Unreal. It's a disgrace...and so is this President.

UPDATE: The mother of Sean Smith, one of the American diplomats killed in Benghazi, has responded to Obama's Daily Show comment...

"My son is not very optimal - he is also very dead."

Speaking exclusively to MailOnline today, Pat Smith, whose son Sean died in the raid, said: "It was a disrespectful thing to say and I don't think it's right."

"How can you say somebody being killed is not very optimal? I don't think the President has the right idea of the English language."
