Said Romney has a tendency to "shoot first and aim later" "without all the facts.
When Steve Kroft asked if Romney was irresponsible, Obama said he would leave that to the American people to decide.
It was devasting.
EXACT QUOTE:
"There's a broader lesson to be learned here: Governor Romney seems to have a tendency to shoot first and aim later and as president one of the things I've learned is you can't do that," Obama told CBS News on Wednesday."It's important for you to make sure that the statements that you make are backed up by the facts and that you've thought through the ramifications before you make them."

The bad part is their man isn't learning either. He's stupider today that he was when he started on this sham of a try to get in the white house at any cost.

(14,255 posts)as a hostile takeover. And he is used to winning through sheer force of money and the capacity to do and say and inflict anything without a moment's reflection or the slightest twinge of concern or conscience.
I think things are going to get much more ugly.
If he really is convinced about the "white horse" prophecy, he may be just as dangerous as any other religion-driven terrorist.
In any event, I consider him to be totally amoral.

(24,096 posts)I am always amazed at how adept the President is in these matters. He knows exactly how to say it - here he is criticizing Romney but not in a direct and abusive way that that fucker criticizes the President. the President puts it forth more like what a teacher would advise a student, he doesn't get in the muck.
the clincher was 'leave that to the American people to do that'.
man, perfection.
This guy IS a prize - contrary to some here, this is the best person for the job of Presidency in this day. the best person by far. Maybe Ever. yeh, I'd say Best President Ever. There I said it
