how do i know the headlines will be different if four years than they are now? i know you don t like chris christie, i love him i love when he says get the hell off the beach, that the hell are you doing asking for another four years? he said obama said he wasn t able to change washington. he s never in washington! how can he change washington? he has been campaigning for four years. dana: the bam become campaign given obama campaign given kudos for the digitization but they printed 3.5 hard copy books? 20-page booklet about obama, isn t that newsweek ? came out instructions on how to bow. if re-elected it will be printed in chinese. a good point. 3.5 million copies. how many trees is that? isn t injustice an outrage?
republicans agreeing to it. eric: even more disturbing is president obama said don t worry about sequestration. i have it taken care of. what do you mean? dana: he said it s not going to happen. eric: meaning is the second term of obama a bunch of i m going to run around congress, i m not going to talk to senators but what we ll do. we ll do it bob: it has to get done by january 1. first term of obama anyway. greg: this reflects the whole president obama, you don t know his foreign policy. it will out get taken care of after he wins the second term, the whole thing with the putin, promising putin. we don t know. we are in the dark. we re not sure if he knows. what you said in green room, romney seems to know obama s foreign policy more than obama does. dana: better than obama. eric: get this in. one more in before we go to break. for me, my favorite moment, unfortunately it wasn t until 53 minutes in to the debate. take a listen to the apology tour. obama called out and
with it. 30 in i realized what he was doing. he is going to, he feelings he has the base. he wants to lock down the female vote. he has proven he can be tough. showing he can be a tough president. this one he wanted to prove he could be a statesman. he could be well thought out. and not what thelet has been trying to paint him as, most recently. as a warmonger. i think if that is the litmus test, number one, i think he won. but number two, the reason he did that, they have internal polling to say he s in the lead. dana: there was a delay reaction. some people went to bed thinking oh, he could have got him on this and that. waking up in the morning you think that was the smarter way to handle it. it was a wise decision. what you want in a president is someone you think is wiser than you.
watch. the president began what i call an apology tour, going to the various nations in the middle east and criticizing america. nothing governor romney said is true. starting with this notion of me apologizing. this has been probably the biggest whopper that has been told during the course of this campaign. mr. president, the reason i call it an apology tour is because you went to the middle east and you flew to egypt, and to saudi arabia, and to turkey and iraq. you skipped israel, by the way, our closest friend in the region. you went to the other nations. they noticed you skipped israel. eric: they noticed. israel noticed and so did all of our enemies. bob: he was in israel doing a fundraiser, the fact he did stop and talked to one u.s. troop in afghanistan dana: there is only one candidate who has taken foreign money in this campaign. bob: excuse me. dana: not romney. bob: romney had a fundraiser in jerusalem. eric: stay on president
policy debate and we can focus on the economy. eric: it took me 30 minutes to figure out that is what is going on. especially when mitt romney wanted to answer one of the questions early. first, only five minutes on libya. then they went to 12 to 13 minutes on syria. because he let schieffer move them on, he didn t do that when he was arguing with let s say lehrer or even crowley. he didn t do that. it s clear that the attention was to come up, presidential states like. dana: add one little thing? it was very smart. you know that president obama in debate prep spent all this time thinking about lib yeah. figuring out all the things he would say on libya. what did we say when? romney said he that is why he didn t do it. he knew he would be ready for that answer. i think that oh, how dare you moment happened the last time. it probably rattled romney a little bit. from day one, campaign that
