loss and second now because i wanted to save you some face. you did a great job of that. steve s pick lost. (laughter) no negative ad. we re doing what we call second place in my household, first loser. so my question is to charles and chuck, mitt romney s giving a big foreign policy speak next week. monday. connect the dots, there s an explosion of anti-americanism in half the world and the administration pretends it s about a video. you have to make the case that this is the reaction to the new radical policy obama announced in cairo, accommodation and appeasement with the muslim world and the fruits are not just that we aren t loved, which was the intention, but we re not respected, in fact, despised in large areas of the world. steve, i m going to advise him to keep an extra paragraph
