A.  Bush isn't president
.

Vote for Mittens Romney and you'll get 4 more years of GW Bush policy.

If you liked GWB, you'll love Mitt Romney!

Obama embarrassed Romney on Libya.  What should have been a 'slam dunk' for Romney turned
into a Romney disaster!
The president was correct, and The Mitt looked like a fool!


Obama LIED on Libya -- he did not identify the incident in Libya as a terrorist act on September 12.  Obama made a reference to terrorist acts IN GENERAL at the end of the Rose Garden speech but it is a FACT that Obama and quite a number of people in his administration repeatedly called the incident a spontaneous mob response to a video FOR TWO WEEKS.  Obama even said that at the United Nations.

Obama lied.  Obama tried to fool the American people.  If anyone is a fool it is the Liar-in-Chief Obama.

Obama got the 3am phone call that Hilary warned us about...Barack answered that call and was informed that a consulate was attacked by terrorists - 4 Americans dead, 1 ambassador.  His response?  I'M GOING TO VEGAS!!

Romney will be much worse, I can assure you.
Bush never said he wanted control of the internet "to stamp out pornography (of course)" the way Romney did.
Bush didn't change his mind every week on abortion like Romney.

Whether you're pro life, or pro choice, you won't know where he actually stands until after the election.

If Romney's campaign thinks talking about the Libya incident is going to help them they are sadly mistaken. Big picture Libya was a success compared to the last few republican lead adventures in the Middle East. Anything regarding the middle east just reminds voters of the 1000's of dead american soldiers bodies due to Bush's lies. It's drawing attention to an issue they have no legs to stand on with their own past. If Romney wants to win, he needs to keep the focus on jobs where he is strong and Obama is weak. Anyways Johnson would wipe the floor with both these clowns.

Libya incident is now quickly becoming a scandal.  It isn't a foreign policy issue.  Why would Susan Rice go on the talk shows five days after Obama supposedly determined it was an act of terror and blame it on a video offensive to Muslim?  Who told her to say that?  The Obama Campaign?  The White House?  The State Department?

Ciero, I think you'd be smart enough and an independent enough to see the big picture here. Your taking an minor issue and making a big deal about it when there are literally hundreds of other things at stake that in the long run are far more important. The more this is talked about the better it is for Obama, as it highlights his foreign policy success rate compared to his predecessor. Iraq, Afghanistan, 9/11- to 4 dead guys in Libya, poor strategy. If this is the kind of issue Romney's gonna focus on he's done.

Fox is taking the victories, no matter how small, wherever they can get them these days.

Not satire. Truely pathetic.

It's worse than that. In Watergate no one died. Not only that but Candy covered for him. His Rose Garden
speech was about 9/11/01-NOT 9/11/12. Then on Sunday UN Ambassador Rice purposely covered up on 5 TV
talk shows about a "video" and nonexistent riot. CBS POLL Who has a better economic plan? Romney 64%.

A Frank Luntz focus group made up mostly of former Obama voters say they now support Mitt Romney.

"Forceful, compassionate, presidential," one participant said.
"Confident and realistic," said another.
"Presidential," another told Luntz.
"Enthusiastic," another reacted.
"Our next president," one man said.
"Dynamo, winner," said one more.

"He's lied about everything. He lied to get elected in 2008, that's why I voted for him. I bought his bull. And he's lied about everything, he hasn't come through on anything. And he's been bullshitting the public," one member of the focus group said.    Did Obama really win?

Candy Crowley: He Was Right
Moderator: Romney was 'right in the main' on Benghazi, but 'picked the wrong word'

BY: Washington Free Beacon Staff
October 16, 2012 11:41 pm

After the debate, debate moderator Candy Crowley said Republican nominee Mitt Romney was “right in the main” but “picked the wrong word” on the Obama administration’s immediate response to the terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya, that left four Americans dead.

Crowley interrupted Romney during the debate, insisting that President Obama had in fact called the attack an “act of terror.”

ROMNEY: I want to make sure we get that for the record because it took the president 14 days before he called the attack in Benghazi an act of terror.

OBAMA: Get the transcript.

CROWLEY: It — it — it — he did in fact, sir. So let me — let me call it an act of terror…

OBAMA: Can you say that a little louder, Candy?

CROWLEY: He — he did call it an act of terror. It did as well take — it did as well take two weeks or so for the whole idea there being a riot out there about this tape to come out. You are correct about that.

In a statement given in the Rose Garden on Sept. 12, Obama emphasized an anti-Islam video, before saying that “no acts of terror would shake the resolve of this great nation.”

The administration’s narrative on the attack over the next two weeks was muddled.

On Sept. 16, U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice attributed the attack on the U.S. Consulate to violent protests stemming from a “heinous and offensive” video.

On Sept. 25, the president himself declined to call the attack an act of terrorism during an interview with “The View,” saying that an investigation was still ongoing.

Update (12:22 a.m.): After the debate, “Romney was actually right on Libya” trended on Twitter in the United States:

Romney Lies:

I went to a number of women's groups and said:
"Can you help us find folks," and they brought us whole binders full of women.

Not a true story.

What actually happened was that in 2002 -- prior to the election, not even knowing yet whether it
would be a Republican or Democratic administration -- a bipartisan group of women in Massachusetts
formed MassGAP to address the problem of few women in senior leadership positions in state
government. There were more than 40 organizations involved with the Massachusetts Women's Political
Caucus (also bipartisan) as the lead sponsor.

They did the research and put together the binder full of women qualified for all the different cabinet
positions, agency heads, and authorities and commissions. They presented this binder to Governor
Romney when he was elected.

Romney's claim, that he asked for such a study, is false.

A UMass-Boston study found that the percentage of senior-level appointed positions held by women
actually declined throughout the Romney administration, from 30.0% prior to his taking office, to 29.7%
in July 2004, to 27.6% near the end of his term in November 2006. (It then began rapidly rising
when Deval Patrick took office.)

Romney's story as he tells it, this man who had led and consulted for businesses for 25 years
didn't know any qualified women, or know where to find any qualified women.
So what does that say?
