Mitt Romney didn’t mince words in calling out the Obama administration’s strategy of appeasement during remarks on mob violence in Egypt and deadly attacks on the U.S. embassy in Benghazi.
Romney: "An apology for America's values is never the right course."

Conservatives on Twitter are calling Romney’s strong remarks “presidential” and “Reaganesque.”

Bingo! Which means it’s time for a little concern trolling by Ronald Reagan’s speechwriter and Obama-con Peggy Noonan. Why, oh why can’t Romney have President Obama’s “first-class temperament”?
Peggy Noonan: "I don't feel that Mr. Romney has been doing himself any favors in the past few hours."

“Sometimes when really bad things happen … no words is the way to go.” RT Noonan: Romney not helping himself http://t.co/aisHRU7R

Surprise. Peggy Noonan on TDFNC thinks Romney shouldn't be speaking out. She prefers "discretion".

Shorter Noonan: Shut up and make Obama a sammich, Mitt!
Why is Peggy Noonan criticizing Romney saying he's done himself no favors in last few hours?

Peggy Noonan has been on planet MSNBC too long.

Shorter Noonan: Romney should suspend his campaign to help deal with the crisis in a bipartisan fashion.

She might as well have. More from Politico:
“I was thinking as he spoke, I think I belong to the old school of thinking that in times of great drama and heightened crisis, and in times when something violent has happened to your people, I always think discretion is the better way to go,” Noonan said. “When you step forward in the midst of a political environment and start giving statements on something dramatic and violent that has happened, you’re always leaving yourself open to accusations that you are trying to exploit things politically.”
Noonan, of course, joined other media lapdoggies in their howling and baying. According to Obama sycophants, Noonan’s press conference trolling is obviously proof that Romney’s statement was aaaaall wroooooong!11!
Poor Willard #Romney. You stepped on it. @johnhalprin , Peggy Noonan and John Sanunu think you are an idiot

Never mind that even the Obama administration walked back the Cairo embassy apology. The administration can do it; Romney just isn’t allowed to talk about it.
Note to Romney:
