Like!

I didn’t hate him, but I was awfully glad he gaffed in ‘68.

[Intolerant in NJ]

If he walks into another trap...what trap? Romney brilliantly maneuvered Obama into going on record - twice - in front of 60 million people that he thought the Libya attack was an act of terrorism only one day after the event - thus either he lied about intending his Rose Garden statement to refer specifically to the attack or about the attack resulting from a nasty video which was his later story - Crowley blundered into trying to help Obama and ended up looking foolish because she gave the wrong information, hardly what one would see from a prearranged "trap" - Romney is heads and shoulders smarter and a more clever debater than Obama - Monday should be fun, no matter what Wan Williams says......

[Ken H]

Williams is 100% back on the plantation, but maybe he's right about this.

LOL!! Here, let me help you back onto the turnip truck you just fell off of.

[rolling_stone]

methinks he doth protest too much...

[TBP]

If Democrats are telling Romney that he’ll hurt himself by bringing up Libya, that means bringing up Libya will help him and they are afraid he will do it. It’s nothing but briar-patch politics.

[Revolting cat!]

It’s shoe byznes, I repeat. It doesn’t matter what is said. Why would Krauthammer, Peg Noone and others, none of them a Lib or stupid, would declare Obummer the winner of the last one, when he stated so many lies? Did I say it’s shoe byznys? It’s like pro-wrestling, and illegal holds are allowed.

[Colorado Doug]

It’s a damn good opportunity to tie it in with Ft. Hood, which the administration also refuses to call terrorism and the victims families are not happy about it.

[FryingPan101]

Thanks for the advice, Juan. (snicker)

[Revolting cat!]

I do hope it is not too late for Romney to take Mr Williams’ advice. I happen to know that the Romney team has been anxiously awaiting it.

[Fully Awake DAV]

Juan is wrong...no one planning to vote for Romney will change their mind at this point over a debate. Those who do not follow politics and are asleep at the wheel will vote party line. Those awake who do not plan to vote party line have already decided. A large percentage of dems mostly union folks who are struggling will vote R, because they have seen their “Hope....&.....Change” go down the drain!

[Artcore]

Here's another angle to this coming Monday's debate that will benefit Romney: Obama Pi$$ed him off the last debate. We got a little taste at the Al Smith dinner when he roasted Obama’s pea sized balls.

I think Romney smells blood in the water, and he's had his fill of Obama’s punk bi*ch attitude. I hope Romney tears the Kenyan to shreds.

[DNME]

Hopefully Romney’s handlers will have him ready for the target-rich environment he’ll face on Monday night.

Benghazi was a cluster(bleep) and we all know it. More details are coming out daily and all of them suck for Obummer. This is low-hanging fruit.

Fast & Furious was a foreign policy disaster. Sending guns to a criminal outfit inside a foreign, friendly government WITHOUT telling that government? Ooooh.

“More flexibility” to dismantle our missile defenses, repeated snubs of Israel, bowing to any-friggin-body, stiffing Canada on the XL pipeline, sending $1.5 billion to now-dangerous Egypt, completely abandoning our sacrifice in Iraq by leaving nobody behind ... Lord, I don’t see how Romney can miss drilling Obummer into the ground on any of a dozen different points.

And Romney has no foreign policy experience? Hell, even I could handle our foreign policy better than this buttwipe now in office!

[dandiegirl]

I heard somewhere that Juan’s sons are conservatives. If so, their Dad makes their heads explode.

Bet on it!

[Mustangman]

A factual slip by Romney would not be good. Romney needs to hammer Obama, of course, but he needs to speak in the broadest terms possible connecting the incompetence of Obama’s foreign policy to his economic policy.

Getting into the weeds to score a debate points might be tempting but, the next day you don’t want the news outlets filled with stories about how Romney said it was ‘Al Qaeda’ when it was actually the Muslim Brotherhood etc etc. My point is, stay out of the weeds and eviscerate Obama with deep broad strokes....from Libya to Immigration to the economy to China....nice broad strokes connecting everything together in the most presidential manner.

Sure, Romney has no experience in foreign policy but, it also means he’ll have no record to attack. Obama will crow about killing Bin Laden (using the information gathered by the Bush administration-Mitt might actually be able to make some hay here) but, like ‘tax increases on the rich’ a one-off success or idea is not a policy.

Mitt Romney is nothing, if not, poised, secure, and confident. Seriously, if you were going make a movie about a President , wouldn’t you want Mitt Romney to play him? I bet Obama lays in bed at night just weeping with knowledge he’s got to go face another intelectual beat down from Romney come Monday.

Obama is at his best crowing to the adoring crowds and probably out-does Romney in this department. I hope the Romney campaign has a solid plan in place for the final two weeks following the debate. Ob

Except that it turns out Benghazi has become an Al Qaeda stronghold as a result of Barry's work in ousting Kaddafi.

I loved that joke, and so very true. Actually I think that is what Juan is attempting to do with his statments, he wants us and Romney to SHUT up about Libya.

Well Juan, WE WON'T, neither will Romney, neither will Congressmen Issa, Chaffetz and all the others that want ANSWERS NOW.

FOUR (4) DEAD MEN, Juan, 4 dead men. Their Blood screams out for justice. Their parents, and loved ones wants answers, not LIES and someone WILL be held accountable right up to the WH oval office if need be.

Mr. Williams, you are more concerned about the death of BLACK little thug TRAYVON MARTINs death, than you are about those FOUR (4) DEAD MEN in BENGHAZI.

You and your ILK scream racist about TRAYVONs death occurring because he was up to no good and got himself killed. Yet, for those FOUR(4) DEAD MEN in BENGHAZI who are the real HERO for fighting and trying to protect OUR WAY OF LIFE here in AMERICA so that your thug gangster TRAYVON MARTIN can practice his gangsterism, your only concern is for us to SHUT UP about it.

What don't you get MR. WILLIAMS? Where is your concern for those 4 DEAD MEN? HUH? Speak up, Mr. Williams, we can't hear you. CRICKETS? you turn my stomach Mr. Williams, you and your RACIST ILK.

Your MASSA Obama, even respect TRAYVON more than he does any of our military, who it seems are VERY EXPENDABLE TO YOU BLACK RACISTs. Oh, but poor little Trayvon, was just so precious. He could have been obama's son, how sweet it is/s

I quit listening to anything he had to say years ago. He may have been fired from NPR but his views never changed
