obama can speak without putting his foot in his mouth, romney can't moondog Send a noteboard - 14/09/2012 04:01:38 PM
also, romney is running away from all that experience you say he has, other than to say that he is a businessman who once was governor of massachusetts and ran the olympics in 2002. everything else he supposedly accomplished during that time is not to be questioned, or else he is against what he stood for from those time periods. he is literally standing in front of the american people and saying "i'm not going to tell you anything but you should just implicitly trust me to be better anyway." sorry, it's not going to win anybody over who has not already made up their mind to vote for him in the first place.

one more thing: saying "i bet his numbers go up" is like saying "i bet the sun will rise somewhere on earth tomorrow". you should put up something concrete if you want anyone to take your bet :) his numbers will definitely go up, just not nearly enough to get him anywhere near enough votes to win.

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 1126 Views
I haven't seen it, but I honestly wasn't looking for that. nossy - 12/09/2012 04:00:39 PM 723 Views
The administration did issue an apology, which was stupid. Tom - 12/09/2012 04:21:04 PM 677 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 582 Views
Try it. Tom - 12/09/2012 05:28:37 PM 628 Views
... No, thanks. *NM* nossy - 12/09/2012 05:39:30 PM 283 Views
Aw...I was hoping to see what "ripping off" my face would look like. *NM* Tom - 12/09/2012 05:56:41 PM 300 Views
Unfortunately, I'm much calmer today. nossy - 13/09/2012 03:47:20 PM 568 Views
I'm profoundly disappointed. Tom - 13/09/2012 05:22:54 PM 578 Views
Would you care to cite this apology the US administration issued? Joel - 12/09/2012 08:40:35 PM 708 Views
Timeline and statements Bored - 12/09/2012 09:20:39 PM 784 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 576 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 737 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 307 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 308 Views
What in particular do you think was an apology? *NM* Ghavrel - 13/09/2012 03:15:54 PM 269 Views
Even I can see why it could be viewed that way. nossy - 13/09/2012 03:30:29 PM 629 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 695 Views
I'm not outraged personally. Tom - 13/09/2012 05:14:59 PM 574 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 313 Views
Uh huh... Joel - 15/09/2012 02:33:39 AM 609 Views
Don't know, don't care. Palatine - 12/09/2012 04:24:18 PM 598 Views
No government has apologized to anyone for the attacks, to my knowledge. Joel - 12/09/2012 05:37:45 PM 807 Views
So we're the only ones who apologized to anyone? That's disgusting. Tom - 12/09/2012 05:55:39 PM 698 Views

Dunno about apologies snoopcester - 12/09/2012 08:38:04 PM 620 Views
Clarification, please: Egypt arrested four of the perpetrators, or Libya (or both)? Joel - 12/09/2012 08:45:11 PM 811 Views
Egypt. snoopcester - 12/09/2012 08:55:37 PM 726 Views
Ah, thanks. Joel - 12/09/2012 11:01:22 PM 590 Views
WE have not apologized to anyone; the embassy staff (unsuccessfuly) tried to prevent a riot. Joel - 12/09/2012 08:35:16 PM 693 Views
Yeah, we Egyptians should be thankful for Obama. Praziquantel - 12/09/2012 09:59:28 PM 650 Views
Never said that, but bashing him for both supporting and NOT supporting Mubarak is asinine. Joel - 12/09/2012 11:43:08 PM 699 Views
No, but "our country is stronger, safer and more respected in the world" *NM* Praziquantel - 12/09/2012 10:04:03 PM 291 Views
does anyone know where Romney actually stands on this? snoopcester - 12/09/2012 11:26:47 PM 630 Views
NO ONE is as confused as Romney. Joel - 12/09/2012 11:48:23 PM 685 Views
I don't know if he's confused... DomA - 13/09/2012 12:09:16 PM 689 Views
Romney never "had" the foreign press to lose... Tom - 13/09/2012 02:08:59 PM 648 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 271 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 693 Views
But Romney is very experienced and Obama wasn't random thoughts - 14/09/2012 11:14:08 AM 767 Views
obama can speak without putting his foot in his mouth, romney can't moondog - 14/09/2012 04:01:38 PM 695 Views

you're living in the past moondog - 14/09/2012 05:46:26 PM 543 Views
The popular vote will win the election or Obama will be lamest lame duck in history random thoughts - 14/09/2012 06:25:21 PM 705 Views
except "you didn't build that" is in reference to the US infrastructure not actual business moondog - 14/09/2012 09:31:29 PM 692 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 681 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 257 Views
Can Egypt afford to apologize at the moment? Larry - 14/09/2012 03:21:53 AM 674 Views
Oh great now it's our embassy in Sudan that is on fire ironclad - 14/09/2012 02:12:21 PM 669 Views
I suspect there is a very perverse dynamic at work here. Joel - 14/09/2012 04:57:28 PM 705 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 583 Views
What's this about then? nossy - 15/09/2012 12:21:45 AM 571 Views
