BO keeps saying a president has to be clear... Perfect opening for Romney to attack. He wasn't clear about Libya. But MR isn't even bringing up the issue!!
Because Obama already destroyed him on that issue and he knows it. You can cheer on Romney all you want but you shouldn't be more optimistic than the candidate you're for or you're setting yourself up for disappointment.
Because Romney screwed it up in the last debate. All Romney had to do was ask why Obama and his administration kept blaming the movie long after they knew that the movie had nothing to do with it according to testimony in Congress. That is all he had to do and instead he tried to get fancy and trap Obama in some inane gotcha moment and it ended up backfiring on him. That effectively prevented it from becoming an issue in this debate.
Romney knew foreign policy was Obama's from day one in this race. had he made things nasty by going after Obama on Libya, he would have lost worse than he did.
He obviously decided to leave that investigation to the Republicans in Congress....and to the mainstream press, which is now, at least, covering this scandal and asking the questions. Everyone already knows that the Obama administration did not tell the truth about what happened in Libya for some time and tried to spin it for political purposes. But it's not Romney's place inside a debate to try and get to the bottom of it. There was too many other issues that needed to be addressed. BTW, Ambassador Rice has now stated that she got her talking points from the CIA. The CIA doesn't give talking points to people going on the Sunday talk shows; but the White House does. She needs to be put under oath to get to the bottom of it. I want to know WHO sent Rice to the Sunday political talk shows. I want to know WHO furnished Rice with her talking points.
Right. And when Obama made his condescending, mocking remarks about the bayonnets and horses.......Romeny "could have" come back with, "But at least I know how the word "corpseman" is prounced." But he did NOT want to go into the pettiness that the president was in.....because it's NOT presidential.
Right, one should not do so. CBS had a focus group poll afterwards....in OHIO, with OHIO likely voters.....and ROMNEY won. That's what I care about. The rest is noise......
