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 1229 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 763 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 717 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 663 Views
Would you care to cite this apology the US administration issued? Joel - 12/09/2012 08:40:35 PM 798 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 681 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 842 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 344 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 730 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 790 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 710 Views
Clarification, please: Egypt arrested four of the perpetrators, or Libya (or both)? Joel - 12/09/2012 08:45:11 PM 909 Views
Egypt. snoopcester - 12/09/2012 08:55:37 PM 826 Views
Ah, thanks. Joel - 12/09/2012 11:01:22 PM 682 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 333 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
I don't know if he's confused... DomA - 13/09/2012 12:09:16 PM 790 Views
Romney never "had" the foreign press to lose... Tom - 13/09/2012 02:08:59 PM 756 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 862 Views
obama can speak without putting his foot in his mouth, romney can't moondog - 14/09/2012 04:01:38 PM 782 Views

you're living in the past moondog - 14/09/2012 05:46:26 PM 649 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 788 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 798 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 788 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 305 Views
Can Egypt afford to apologize at the moment? Larry - 14/09/2012 03:21:53 AM 789 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 684 Views
What's this about then? nossy - 15/09/2012 12:21:45 AM 670 Views
