EVERYBODY KNEW IT WAS A LIE.
The problem here is everybody who paid any attention at all to current affairs over the last month remembered it differently ~ and Obamugabe made himself seem to be unbalanced by doing it.
If Obama said it was an act of terrorism from the beginning, why did he and Hillary spend $70,000 on an “apology” video to Muslims, and had an American citizen arrested for this video? Then sending Jay Carney, Susan Rice, and Hillary to lie for him. I just wish Romney mentioned the 70K apology video and asked when the American people are going to be reimbursed for it.
Romney should have nailed and explained the basis for the lie that Obama and his admin/campaign have been using all week by referencing the specifics of that one sentence. Instead, he went with a question and doubt that was a big hanging softball for Candy.
Also, as whenever the auto companies come up, Romney gets into his ‘yes, I advocated bankruptcy but that’s what you ended up doing yourself—and it was the right thing to do’ mode. That ends up leaving Romney endorsing and praising what Obama did. Absolutely incredible.
Romney ought to tie the fact that Obama took the companies through bankruptcy with that he violated contract law and used crony-capitalism powers to coerce bondholders to give up their standing and to give a great big sweetheart deal to the unions, while also assuring that they didn’t take a necessary haircut through the bankruptcy process and therefore the companies are still not competitive. Oh, and in the meantime, he forced the closing of all those dealerships across the country that happened to be owned by conservatives.
This gives him an opening for all kinds of anti-leftist and anti-corruption points. But no, he didn’t do that at all.
Finally, in another example, we’ve got the energy discussion and A123, one of Obama’s biggest pet/donor ‘green energy’ companies, having filed for bankruptcy this week—taking down all of the borrowed money from China that Obama gave them with it. But Romney didn’t raise this issue or link this point at all.
Why not?
