"IT WOULD...BE ABHORRENT..."

“It would really be abhorrent to make this into a campaign issue,” Jan Stevens, 77, said in a telephone interview from his home in Loomis, California, as he prepares for a memorial service for his son next week.

Mitt Romney, the Republican nominee, has criticized President Barack Obama for not providing adequate security in Libya, saying the administration has left the country exposed to a deadly terrorist attack.

The ambassador’s father, a lawyer, said politicians should await the findings of a formal investigation before making accusations or judgments.

“The security matters are being adequately investigated,” Stevens said. “We don’t pretend to be experts in security. It has to be objectively examined. That’s where it belongs. It does not belong in the campaign arena.” Stevens said he has been getting briefings from the State Department on the progress of the investigation.
Do you hear, Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan?  Will you respect the wishes of Jan Stevens?

  1. Obviously, they aren't listening to anyone or anything that might stop their steamroller attack.

    1. susan s., so much of what Mittens and Lyin' Ryan say is abhorrent, but one would think they'd have the decency to respect the wishes of a grieving father, however one might be wrong. We shall see.
