gave over and over. he did it well. aggressive. eric: i give him an f for exact reason. the same thing. be clear. 100 times. he goes through the same, same manufacturered things he has done over and over again. that is the state of the last five years. eric: that is republicans standing in the way of progress. bob: also not willing to put the manufacturing jobs together. republicans are becoming quadrant of the right wingers to stop legislation. the majority of the people approved what he said. a-plus. big a-plus. kimberly: all right, well i will give him an a-minus. delivery excellence. i don t like the context. it s different from what i would like. not different from what he says and do. he won. eric: where is talk about the food stamp and how we get 48 million people off of food stamps? the population of spain? where is the talk how are we
first let s grade them on the commander-in-chief aura that they projected. mitt romney, what do you think? b-minus. b-minus. b. b-minus, tough grade. tough grade. basically talking about peace all night i wondered what happened to the strength. some of the statements he said you can t kill your way out of this mess. i wondered what mitt romney was talking about from the mitt romney we used to know. what do you think? a b? a b. i thought he came across as some one you could see as president of the united states. that little litmus test he could. but he didn t come across as strong and assertive in my view. how did, obama do? i thought he was an a-minus. a. a, you get you are a tough a. as you know, i have not given an a in then tire series of debates to anyone.
line in the sand as far as the american voter is concerned or real foreign policy watcher. his position appears to bes the same as the president s position. with peter alexander yesterday or maybe in the 60 minute minutes interview asked if what mitt romney wants to go to war with iran he should say so. he has advisers that do. if you look at the people that surround mitt romney there are many of the same sort of neocons that surrounded george w. bush and are maureen dowd wrote a column about this. they tend to favor an empty vessel candidate to give this ideology to. mitt romney is that nonideological guy and these guys maybe do want a war with iran, john bolton s that are in mitt romney s camp. please them or be rationale. i thought as i was watching his convention speech, going along, saying he s doing a good job, this is an a-minus, b-plus speech, and then he veered into foreign policy in the last few
think that s where that s the bet that romney was making here. right. here we go. we ve got here s the obama machines that s the only one. the complexities of how the deals get worked out in various places greg and steve made this point today, romney is trying to appeal to some sort of fick shus shus figment of the base s imagination that the somehow is an appeaser and weak on national security. that is i don t think that s where the middle of this country is at but this line of attack that the president has been an apologist will win over swing voters, to the point of the kitchen sink it s been my view throughout this campaign that governor romney should never talk about foreign policy, only time they criticize president obama on foreign policy, in the lead should be this is the the that killed osama bin laden. the president made one of the strongest places in his speech in tampa, was the place where he capitalized on romney having not mentioned charlotte.
involved, 61% of the country. makes no sense. that s why romney s convention speech made no sense. he was going along i thought like an a-minus speech and then launched we re going to go to war with iran and bring back the cold war for russia two things the american people desperately don t want. it s interesting, that s one of the reasons why to the extent it was thought through, they left afghanistan out of the speech. the truth is americans don t want to have a long conversation about afghanistan. they don t want to think about it. you know, short of the parent whose kids are fighting there. but it really is a complicated situation. there is no there is no result there that s going to make americans feel good about like what we ever did there, what s going to happen next. it s a mess. two words oil prices. nobody wants them to go up. that s why the israel/iran thing matters more than any of this in terms of the politics the next two months. dysfunction junction shaun, la
