Yeah, but Romney isn't running against 2008 Obama. He's running against a 4-year president. Burr Send a noteboard - 14/09/2012 02:35:22 AM
Anyone who thinks Obama's inexperience in 2008 should have been taken more seriously would be wise to apply that lesson learned when judging Romney in this election.

Edit: Which, to clarify, doesn't necessarily mean they'd be wrong to vote for Romney. I'm just saying you can't discount Romney's inexperience by virtue of Obama's 2008 inexperience. We aren't the same voters we were then; Obama isn't the same candidate he was then; and if anything, inexperience is more politically damning than it was then, by virtue of having had this learning experience.

Question: did the Egyptian government apologize for letting a mob attack our embassy on 9/11/12? Tom - 12/09/2012 03:37:00 PM 1228 Views
I haven't seen it, but I honestly wasn't looking for that. nossy - 12/09/2012 04:00:39 PM 807 Views
The administration did issue an apology, which was stupid. Tom - 12/09/2012 04:21:04 PM 762 Views
Don't get me started. I'm not in the mood, and I might rip your face off. nossy - 12/09/2012 04:30:57 PM 678 Views
Try it. Tom - 12/09/2012 05:28:37 PM 716 Views
... No, thanks. *NM* nossy - 12/09/2012 05:39:30 PM 323 Views
Aw...I was hoping to see what "ripping off" my face would look like. *NM* Tom - 12/09/2012 05:56:41 PM 336 Views
Unfortunately, I'm much calmer today. nossy - 13/09/2012 03:47:20 PM 659 Views
I'm profoundly disappointed. Tom - 13/09/2012 05:22:54 PM 662 Views
Would you care to cite this apology the US administration issued? Joel - 12/09/2012 08:40:35 PM 797 Views
Timeline and statements Bored - 12/09/2012 09:20:39 PM 873 Views
I see: NO ONE EVER apologized to militants; Romney just wants to revive the "apology tour" lie. Joel - 12/09/2012 10:48:59 PM 680 Views
Only very specific people are getting the timeline wrong, because it suits them to do so. Joel - 12/09/2012 08:37:43 PM 841 Views
The apology, did u hear it on Fox news, and was that news report later redacted? Bc it didn't happen *NM* Aeryn - 13/09/2012 12:42:44 PM 357 Views
We can all differ on what we think constitutes an "apology". In my opinion, it did happen. *NM* Tom - 13/09/2012 02:10:02 PM 343 Views
What in particular do you think was an apology? *NM* Ghavrel - 13/09/2012 03:15:54 PM 313 Views
Even I can see why it could be viewed that way. nossy - 13/09/2012 03:30:29 PM 729 Views
what is stupid is deliberately distorting the actual statements in order to be outraged at obama moondog - 13/09/2012 04:01:04 PM 789 Views
I'm not outraged personally. Tom - 13/09/2012 05:14:59 PM 675 Views
Besides, the whole point of this post was to question Egypt's position, not Romney OR Obama's *NM* Tom - 13/09/2012 05:16:02 PM 352 Views
Uh huh... Joel - 15/09/2012 02:33:39 AM 729 Views
Don't know, don't care. Palatine - 12/09/2012 04:24:18 PM 681 Views
No government has apologized to anyone for the attacks, to my knowledge. Joel - 12/09/2012 05:37:45 PM 897 Views
So we're the only ones who apologized to anyone? That's disgusting. Tom - 12/09/2012 05:55:39 PM 791 Views

Dunno about apologies snoopcester - 12/09/2012 08:38:04 PM 709 Views
Clarification, please: Egypt arrested four of the perpetrators, or Libya (or both)? Joel - 12/09/2012 08:45:11 PM 908 Views
Egypt. snoopcester - 12/09/2012 08:55:37 PM 826 Views
Ah, thanks. Joel - 12/09/2012 11:01:22 PM 681 Views
WE have not apologized to anyone; the embassy staff (unsuccessfuly) tried to prevent a riot. Joel - 12/09/2012 08:35:16 PM 790 Views
Yeah, we Egyptians should be thankful for Obama. Praziquantel - 12/09/2012 09:59:28 PM 749 Views
Never said that, but bashing him for both supporting and NOT supporting Mubarak is asinine. Joel - 12/09/2012 11:43:08 PM 796 Views
No, but "our country is stronger, safer and more respected in the world" *NM* Praziquantel - 12/09/2012 10:04:03 PM 332 Views
does anyone know where Romney actually stands on this? snoopcester - 12/09/2012 11:26:47 PM 725 Views
NO ONE is as confused as Romney. Joel - 12/09/2012 11:48:23 PM 769 Views

Romney never "had" the foreign press to lose... Tom - 13/09/2012 02:08:59 PM 755 Views
Sadly for Romney the American press is almost as biased against him as over there. *NM* random thoughts - 13/09/2012 09:53:25 PM 312 Views

Yeah, but Romney isn't running against 2008 Obama. He's running against a 4-year president. Burr - 14/09/2012 02:35:22 AM 785 Views
But Romney is very experienced and Obama wasn't random thoughts - 14/09/2012 11:14:08 AM 861 Views

Well, at this point it is hard to say he is not at least factually challenged. Joel - 14/09/2012 04:40:13 PM 787 Views

He appears to be buckling down on the lie that the embassy apologized to the protesters. *NM* Ghavrel - 13/09/2012 03:04:57 AM 304 Views
Can Egypt afford to apologize at the moment? Larry - 14/09/2012 03:21:53 AM 788 Views
Oh great now it's our embassy in Sudan that is on fire ironclad - 14/09/2012 02:12:21 PM 769 Views
I suspect there is a very perverse dynamic at work here. Joel - 14/09/2012 04:57:28 PM 797 Views
I love how the media are tying all this to a movie that no one watched. Praziquantel - 14/09/2012 03:22:38 PM 683 Views
What's this about then? nossy - 15/09/2012 12:21:45 AM 669 Views
