Sure it was a "gottcha" question, but isn't that what ALL of these stupid, useless,non-debates debates have been like? He should have been ready for any and all kinds of things and not do his usual dance of"I DON'T KNOW"/"I'LL HAVE TO ASK MY ADVISERS/GENERALS/WHOEVER TO TELL ME".
Look,I want to "like" someone,I need to find someone to vote for in the primary,and thus far, outside of knowing that I will NEVER pull the lever for Romney, the crazy Ron Paul, and the nothings Huntsman and Johnson, I am stuck looking at a field that I find depressingly wanting in the extreme. It is what it is and I don't want ANY of them to be the next president, even though I want nothing more than Obama gone.
Yeah...
Part of the problem is I think he saw it as being “fair” to Netanyahu, as well.
And then conversely, you make a great point, nopardons.
I think some of what you are expressing is the idea of the candidates talking specifically about the policies of the Obama administration and telling us what they would do differently. You want to hear the candidates say, “Look, I disagree with Obama on Libya. Obama was wrong. If I was president, this is what I would have done.”
In other words, you want someone to vote FOR, and not just vote AGAINST Obama. Otherwise, it wouldn’t matter who you voted for, would it?
You’re absolutely right.
