(6,843 posts)1. Obama killed Bin Laden.
How they can try to make him weak is beyond me.

Killing Bin Laden, ending the Bullshit Iraq War, putting an end date on Afghanistan, strangling Iran with sanctions, etc.
If Romney tries to label that as weakness, he loses.

(3,427 posts)5. I expect Romney to accuse Obama of "apologizing for America."
He will try to work that in whenever he can. I hope Obama has a good response to that.
