Changed the channel to local news immediately when I heard him start bashing Obama and his failed foreign policy. So for those of you who had the stomach to keep watching, did Morning Schmo happen to ask McCain what might be in Rmoney's tax returns that he doesn't want the masses to see? After all, McCain would have seen them when he was considering Rmoney for veep.

6. Of course they didn't ask about his tax returns.

I don't blame you for changing channels. My cat was sleeping on the remote so I wasn't fast enough.

newspapers.

McCain and other repubs who want to beat up Obama on foreign policy are, in actuality, beating a dead horse. I think voters are now genuinely scared of Romney-Ryan on domestic policy, particularly Social Security/Medicare/Medicaid. There is real fear out there...

What I'd like to know is why are Joe & Mika assuming that McCain has all his facts straight? e.g., the President's military commanders strongly recommended the surge as it was done. Now, McCain says that's not true?

and decided to go full bore on foreign policy. Wonder though how many people will vote for Romney over Obama on this issue? My guess, not many. President Obama has proven himself to be plenty competent (can't erase the fact that Obama got Osama!)

I posted a thread a few days ago showing that some polls are showing Obama's large advantage on foreign policy has declined somewhat since Libya, and Tarheel Dem got upset, but I did so because I knew the Republicans were going to make this their main focus for October. They've been boasting about doing so for days.

Whatever reservations people may have about Obama, Mitt is an idiot on foreign policy. They can hammer away all they want, but in the end, the choice is Obama or Romney. And people don't trust Romney on foreign policy at all!

13. Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN): Obama’s Handling Of Libya Is ‘Worse Than Watergate’

Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) joined the chorus of Republicans criticizing President Obama’s response to the violence in Libya on Monday, going so far as to suggest that the administration’s handling of the situation is worse than Watergate — the scandal that brought down President Richard Nixon:

BLACKBURN: I think this is an issue — Benghazi-gate is the right term for this. This is very, very serious, probably more serious than Watergate. And to call this a response to a video when it was obviously a terrorist attack — and when you read some of the documentation on this, and you know that there has been other sites and locations that have bind attack in Libya, when you know that the Libyan government felt there was something getting ready to transpire.
