There are those on the Right who criticize President Obama for going to a fundraiser after the attack on the consulate in Benghazi where 4 Americans including the Ambassador died September 11, 2012. This conservative blogger puts a little perspective on this.

OK, a little perspective: On September 20, 1984, there was a truck-bomb explosion at the U.S. embassy annex in Aukar, Lebanon, just outside Beirut. Twenty-four people were killed. It was third terrorist bombing aimed at U.S. interests in Lebanon in a year and a half.
What did Ronald Reagan do on September 21, 1984? He made three campaign appearances in Iowa -- at an airport rally, a farm, and a church picnic -- despite the fact that a Des Moines Register poll showed him leading Walter Mondale in the state by 23 points.

I am positive the reason for the number of fundraisers was the Citizens United decision by the Supreme Court.By April of last year Obama had held more fundraisers than the last 5 Presidents combined per Obama has held more fundraisers than previous five Presidents combined as he visits key swing states on 'permanent campaign' | Mail Online
Both men left Washington after an attack that left Americans dead, that's what we're talking about.Yep. A single bomb explosion is the same thing as a 7 hour moving firefight using small arms, mortars and RPGs. Did Reagan say it was due to movie or that it was an act of terrorism?

Obama's not providing support to genocides... that's something, right?

Always fun to watch Obama defenders resort to saying, "Oh yeah well he's no worse than Bush and or Reagan".:lol:
One helped to abolish the Berlin wall and to disolve the USSR, the other wants to play games with UN approval and lead from behind.
Well, now we've seen what someone who specifically wants to look at one in the best possible positive light and one in the best possible negative light would say. That was helpful. Anyone want to weigh in with a comparison of them without that bias?
Please enlighten us as to the winner of the nobel peace prize's great foreign policy accomplishemnts (even plans will do).
Reagan was a strong anti-communist, but the idea he help bring down the Berlin wall is a right wing myth. George H.W.Bush was president when it happened. The Soviet Union (USSR) failed because of it's economic system. Fighting in Afghanistan precipitated it fall.One helped to abolish the Berlin wall and to disolve the USSR, the other wants to play games with UN approval and lead from behind.
Please tell me what any of that has to do with anything I said? You purposefully painted Reagan in the best possible light and purposefully painted Obama in the worst. Who could possibly take that seriously? Why do you think anyone would?

Paint me a different picture then - is that not the line used by the demorats when defending PPACA simply saying that the republicants offer no alternative? If you do not like my opinion then express your own, by showing me Obama's foreign policy accomplishements, to simply poo-poo my opinion is too easy (lazy?) of a debate tactic.

Shhhhhh. No one listens to partisan zealots.
Then that explains your reluctance to offer up Obama's many foreign policy achievements.
