Final Debate - Everybody Wins!
Fox News Although moderator Bob Schieffer of CBS News raised the topic of the Sept. 11 attack in Libya in his first question onstage Monday in Boca Raton, Fla., Romney and then Obama instead responded by broadening the topic to Al Qaeda, the Arab Spring and the Middle East. Perhaps he misunderstood the question. Romney only mentioned Libya once, saying that the attack was carried out "apparently by, I think we know now, by terrorists of some kind against our people there." He went on to "congratulate (Obama) on taking out Usama bin Laden and going after the leadership in Al Qaeda. But we can't kill our way out of this mess. We're going to have to put in place a very comprehensive and robust strategy." Well, dronexecution has some advantages compared to a trial in New York City. "Governor Romney came in here tonight and showed he was presidential," Florida Sen. Marco Rubio said after the debate. "The president was small. ... Only Mitt Romney spoke and acted like a president." I'll watch it this evening, on the DVR. Joe Trippi, a former campaign manager for Democrat Howard Dean, told Fox News that Romney's strategy was "not to let Obama paint him as the reckless guy who's going to take us to war." That seemed to work in the first debate, when folks found out Romney only had one head and two eyes. "I just want to call this debate the 'big hug,'" Trippi said, noting examples in the debate of Romney agreeing with Obama's foreign policy. "But I think the president had the edge." WaPo gave O the "edge" in the front-page headline. Posted by: Bobby 2012-10-23 |
