I am so proud of our President for not giving Mitt the time of day.

Not one word to acknowledge Mitt playing politics during a time of crisis.

Thank you, President Obama.

1. thought that was classy too n/t

2. His picture is right next to the word presidential in the dictionary!. nt

3. Yes, it was perfect

This wasn't about the election, this was just about Obama doing his job as President, and doing it damn well.

Romney, while presumeably trying to look presidential, proved himself to be the worst person and the worst campaigner ever to run for President.

4. He'll let others come out later today & blast Mittens for his anti-American statements.

5. There was one line near the end of the President's statement alluding to "character",

both of civilians and soldiers, that I thought might have been a sly dig, although it was appropriate to the rest of the speech.

6. That was my advice to him...but he thought it up all by himself!

Obama didn't need the guy sitting in the empty chair with the empty head and heart.

7. Chris Matthews will be ON FIRE later today. I'll be watching. n/t

8. Speaking of time of day, Pres. Obama will clean Mitt Romney's clock before Nov. 6th.

Count on it.

9. Doing so would lessen the sacrifice of those who died.

Obama knows this.

I'm glad to have a leader in the WH, rather than a mere politician.

10. I think it's a sad day when we have to say we are proud of our president for simply doing his job

with regard to not acknowledging Romney's comments, President Obama handled the situation just as anyone with a lick of sense would have. There wasn't anything spectacular or extraordinary about his address today. What I do find extraordinary is the extreme contrast between Obama's comments and Romney's.
