enough to mention in a speech he gave about our wars.He kept talking about "the military" as if it were a lumbering noun.

2. Did anyone else think that Romney gave a prissy maiden aunt response?

Sort of: "You were attacked? My God! Did you have clean underwear?"

I assume everyone is grabbing these and posting them on their FB walls. They're great conversation starters.

Thanks EarlG!

4. This Photo Captures Exactly What I was Thinking!!!

I think Mittens' response drives to the heart of what is wrong with the Mitt Romney campaign. It symbolizes how rudderless the campaign team is. How utterly lacking in vision (and not to mention common decency) Mitt Romney is. For a campaign with no vision , whose theme is built on a false attack on the President - "We Build It!" - the Libya response was thoroughly predictable. The Romney campaign appears to be driven by the daily news cycle, waiting for a word, sentence, an email, a tweet, a Facebook post by Obama or his team that they can pounce on and twist in their favor. I can picture Romney and his team sitting in front of the computers everyday, just waiting for that moment. Instead of focusing on crafting an overarching inspiring message for their campaign as to why we should vote for the Romney-Ryan ticket. They seem to have realized they cannot win on substance, and have therefore given up on winning on the issues. The result: a Republican presidential campaign with no direction, flailing desperately for anything, even a tragic incident, to lie about. Truly sad!

8. This is becoming the general response from Romney, evidence foreign policy is not his strong suit ei

Does he have anything he does well besides flip-flopping and not reveal any policy he will have as a president so I wonder if he comes off half cocked he will continue to do the same as president. He is a corporate raider, raids pensions funds and monies the companies and if the companies can not survive he declares bankruptcies.

it's worse being an opportunist, but a jackass to boot, can't make this shit up.
