consensus seems to be that governor romney won the debate season because he came out so strong with the first debate. you couple that with the headlines seeing now. mayor reid, is two weeks enough time for the president to make up the lost ground after the first debate? first of all, i want to push back on this consensus that mitt romney won the debate season. i don t know where you re getting that from. the electoral college stands right now strongly in place of president obama. mitt romney at 201 to 205. the president between 240 and 250 electoral votes. so i don t know where this consensus developed when a person wins 2 out of 3 debates and when a man running for president said that he wouldn t go to the ends of the world to kill someone who killed 3,000 americans so i don t know where the consensus is coming from. the polling data said barack obama won 2 out of the 3 debates. mitt romney had one good debate. that s the only good event he s had this season. we knew all along the r
apologizing. this has been probably the biggest whopper that s been told in the course of this campaign and every fact checker and every reporter s looked at it. all right. so as the president referred to it? well, you know, i have given this claim of an apology tour four pinocchios under my definition simply says deep into every single speech that the republicans have said constituted an apology. i didn t see it there. you know, romney responded and gave tried to give specific examples of specific quotes which he said were from speeches the president gave in the middle east. actually, those were from speeches the president gave in europe and latin america and again, if you look at it, there were matched sets of points that he was making about how the americans perceive europe and how the europeans perceive americans and, you know, i just don t see it as an apology and
would have more diplomacy. you can see in this fake romney-ryan ad. and another spoof of big bird, holding a bayonet and asking mitt romney a pointed question. we think that s not going to be something you see on sesame street. there s big bird for you. may be the biggest move of apple. they re set to announce the ipad mini and google and amazon may be sweating a bit. here s jon fortt of san jose. this is a test of staying competitive post steve jobs. what are you hearing? reporter: absolutely. we expect it to be 8 inches, bigger than the smaller competitors like the google nexus 7, the amazon kindle fire and the barnes & noble nook to take on apple and the tablet category at 200 bucks.
automakers did go through. however, here s the caveat. the point of governor romney made that idea of a managed bankruptcy, the credit markets were so frozen that you couldn t have gone through that kind of process at that time and he needed a government assistance and that s what every, you know, fact finding commission after the fact determined that the managed bankruptcy process was not going to work in the depths of the great recession in late 2008. meaning that the auto companies would seem to find funding through private markets opposed to through the government to climb back out of the hole they were in. all right. so one other tense moment came when governor romney accused the president of going on a foreign apology tour. take a look. and then the president began what i called an apology tour going to various nations in the at least and criticizing america. nothing governor romney just said is true. starting with this notion of me
allowing american manufacturing, auto industry to go bankrupt. mitt romney s trying to play catch up on and saying that the president took his idea. it is incredible. i don t think the american people are going to let mitt romney get away with this. they know where he is, where he was in the republican primary. he s wedded to the republican tea parties members of the house of the representatives. that s become the base of his campaign operation. and i don t think anybody s going to be fooled. and again, last night underscored why mitt romney s not ready to be commander in chief because you need steadiness. you cannot be a flip flopper. you cannot be the person who makes up your positions on the fly. that, again, sends very dangerous signals abroad. one thing that the obama campaign is out today with a new ad calling a multiplit form organization and shows the agenda of the president for the four years.
