I don’t know if it was meant to, but this headline made me laugh.

Keep up the good work Mitt !!

The Obama war room is panicked and has flooded this board with their Chicago staffers working over time.

They don’t want to talk about the economy or what the Fed is doing to your pay check with their weekly quantitative easing programs.

It is very clear that Mr. Romney is not ready for the complexities of US foreign policy.

Worse, it appears that Mr. Romney’s ill-conceived and aggressive stance re events in Libya was in response to right wing goading by the likes of Laura Ingraham and Rush Limbaugh.

Do we honestly want our nation’s foreign policy dictated by radio talk hosts?

This week, Mr. Romney effectively disqualified himself from the office of the presidency.

Here we go again, Mitt Romney’s playbook changes almost on a daily basis! One day he wants Obama to attack on Muslim soil the next day he doesn’t! After the Muslim attacks on our embassies Romney is saying Obama is weak, yet, the day Obama sends troops into a Muslim country (not that he’s going too) Romney will say Obama is needlessly putting ours boys in harm’s way.. This guy Romney is the definition of a flip flopper, he makes John Kerry look like Berry Goldwater! The Obama campaign should air brush Romney into a parasailing commercial off the coast of British Grand Cayman Island with one of his British banks in the background.

Why do liberals act like Obama is wise, experienced, is financially savvy, is transparent, has foreign policy expertise, DOES NOT SHOOT FROM THE “LIP,” etc.? His two assets ONLY: photo ops and speaking ability. He is making me wish for Carter to go back to D.C.! YIKES!!!!

Mitt Romney and evolving position are synonymous terms. When I think of evolving or even revolving, I think of Mitt Romney. The slightest breeze of public opinion or pressure from his overloads will spin Mitten’s head like an owl.

What a stark example of the difference between the Reagan response and the obama apology. When Americans were attacked in Europe by agents of Libya, President Reagan sent an attack force to Libya to ‘splain’ things to them. They got the message and retreated from their hostile acts toward us for decades. Libya became a non-player in the war on terror. Under the obama administration they attack us in Egypt and Libya and our response is an apology and increased foreign aid.

Romney demonstrates little if any understanding of diplomacy. His timing is terrible and the comments seem geared toward criticism instead of standing with his country. His thought process is influenced by a predisposed outcome that no one knows, but Romney seems to want to appear at the front of the line when he’s more like a Monday morning quarterback. He is so intent on showing he’s in control and taking power. With no apologies for any of his comments, he’s starting to sound like Bush II. Romney would be likely to get the US into confrontations and wars with little provocation and senseless death of US military personnel. Of course, to be clear, he’d avoid any confrontation with Bermuda, the Cayman Islands or Switzerland to protect ‘our’ financial security.

Another obvious example of MSM bias in favor of obama. The real issue here is obama’s lock-step response to every problem with an apology. Apologies, bowing and groveling before our enemies especailly in the middle east emboldens more violent behavior. They do not respect us and their contempt grows by the incident as we respond in a weak and flacid manner. obama is the problem.

Yet again we witness the reason Romney was awarded the Olympic Gold Medal in the Flip-Flop.

We can’t afford a directionless “leader” who thrashes about in hoipes he fetchees up on something reasonable and relevant to the situation. And manages to side with the killers who are also attacking the US and President Obama.

Only those who reject civility and responsibility — by being “politically incorrect” — can defend Romney, especially in this instance. Kerry got it right: Romney should shut up until all the facts are known; but instead, he conflates a defusing statement made in Cairo with the violence in Libya which happened several hours after the Cairo statement.

Here’s a strategy: let’s insult Mitt’s “religion” and see if he again defends the “American value” of denying responsibility for the consequences of being gratuitously insulting.

Yo, Romney: making enemies is not the way to make friends.
