Anyone watching Morning Joe???

You know who you are.

Romney is getting thrown under a bus on steroids. And rightly so.

How outrageously bad can one possibly get? But then again, I am talking about mittens, so it shouldn't come as a big surprise.

I think they are still being tepid. They deny that his blunder is as bad as McCain's in 08
I think it's worst, at least in McCains case no one had died when he shut down his campaign

What Mitt Did was greatly Disrespectful to the families of the Men who died, and well as the entire country
Way worse than McCain IMO

They are seeing the comparison in terms of ability to handle a major issue - a Presidential test.

What they ignore is whether Romney passed the likability test at his convention, which is still questionable and if he did it was with a low grade. The disrespect to the President and the dishonesty in his charge are even less acceptable when it is on foreign policy.

However, the real killer - as several threads have dealt with - is that smirking smile that showed up in his comments early yesterday. Contrast that to the somber faces and beautiful words of praise the President and Hillary Clinton spoke about the men who did. Republicans, like McCain, Graham, and even McConnell were making statements more like Obama.

How does someone wanting to be our President smile as he addresses a situation where 4 American diplomats died. He may have failed once and for all not just the likabilty test but the basic decency test.

It was very disgusting, he was so smug, In his peanut brain he just knew he was "looking presidental"
The fact that he had a press conference ahead of Our President was also a very disrespectful move. Also unlike Clinton, Obama and McCain, Romney couldn't speak of anything personal he didn't lose a friend. Even Bohner gave a better statement.

And considering the political unrest isn't over yet his wonky statements could put more people in danger
Very irresponsible.

Less than half a million are watching a national show. Which is good because in a few minutes Joe will explain why Mitt is still his man, I'm sure...Joe will not endorse Obama no matter how badly he seems to trash Mitt.

I'm not normally awake this early, so I'm relatively unfamiliar with the show, much less Joe. Doesn't seem to be a favorite here on DU.

CNN is even lower then MSNBC. Most of the people see of these shows is on twitter and Youtube.

I'm not a morning person, anyway, so my BS Armor hasn't been adjusted just yet. That's why I count on all of you to fill me in so I don't end up hurling coffee mugs at my TV.
