Being on the attack, look presidential and want look mean and angry? it s really tough, greta. this is the problem. when you lose the first debate, al gore learned this in 2000. it can get in your head. he sighed too much the first time and the second time tdidn t work well. the third time, you try something else. it looks like you are trying on personas. and so you get psyched out if you don t come out of the gate with a strong performance. everybody s telling you do this, do that and they are watching so much more carefully. but you have the balance right. i think that i think a core problem is that his base is deflated. before he went on the debate, talking to the middle, he has to give the red meat, saying, i m a fighter and appeal to the middle. that s a tough balance. greta: did he sell to you that he wanted the job, did you get sense he really want this is job? i didn t think so. i think the reason he doesn t have a second-term agend a. you have seen the liberal pundit
In a country like libya, libyan nationals, willing to work with and do the bidding of al qaeda, that means they re not on their heels in that country. if ultimately, you could eliminate all the global al qaeda people, great. but it s not that kind of organization. it is an organization with real chapters in egypt, libya, in afghanistan, and iraq. those chapters can operate in coordination or independently as they did in libya. greta: has congress denied any requests from the state department for money to beef up security at our embassies? ant at all. we didn t get into the general accountability report that showed a tremendous waste and need for a comprehensive review, particularly as the security and the budget they were operating on, on september 11, had a majority of democrat, 149 democrats and 147 republicans, bipartisan by any stasheds, voted for that funding that they are living on today. greta: one of the sort of.
Remarks by hillary clinton, also on the video point, where has she been? i still think the great unanswered question is why she wasn t on those five sunday shows greta: i think she knew better. i think she she knew better and she was wasn t going to say it s the video when it wasn t. let me say one other thing, whether it s ideology or political reasons bog are lousy. they re wrong. greta: they are wrong. i agree with that. it s a tragedy and a debauchle and a massive administration failure. greta: thank you, sir. it is obvious to everyone, but apparently the obama administration, house oversight committee share chair, darrell ice awhen your ambassador is mured murdered on 9/11,s it s probably terrorism. we spoke to congressman issa. did you learn today anything about the security that concerns you? it does. what concerns us is that the screer professionals on ground were saying this is multiple
Confusion? or do you think it s a coverup? i am concerned for both. if it s a coverup, it s bad policy and bad politics coming right out of the oval office. if on the other hand, it s incompetence and it s bad leadership over four years or more, something that president bush prided himself on. love president bush or not and vice-president cheney focused on improving our security footprint for our men and women here and around the world. that s important. we need to maintain that competence. i hope we can turn it around. that way, i hope it s not actually politics with american lives. greta: which do you think more, confusion and misinformation or the possibility of a coverup? i think everyone on the day, including democratic colleagues found it hard to believe that confusion lasted a week. some tried to defend it. some stayed away from it. i believe it couldn t have lasted seven days the wait administration would have you believe. greta: congressman, thank you. thank you. g
Decisive. i think we are looking now at a whole new band of states coming into play, michigan, pennsylvania, new jersey. a bunch of states that nobody would have thought near play. greta: all right. you say he will be decisive and you expect congressman ryan to do well. what if, instead, that it s a tie? essentially both gentlemen do about the same, no one dazzles anybody and everybody walks away, saying no one killed the other one. that has to help romney. he is on the surge. he is the one who is moving. but you know, greta, i am beginning to wonder, just tonight, if the romney move in the last couple of days is debate bounce or libya pull. i think that the white house tripping over itself on this coverup stuff and the state department s obvious neglect of protecting its own diplomats and hillary s being a.w.o.l. is really hurting the administration. and it might be that it s
