what goes up does come down. chuck, i think the key question, we don t quite know it yet, was obama able to get one to two points of real gain on romney? because in this environment in which we have seen a very stage race for so long, if you can get that advantage, that is pretty significant this year. we don t know quite yet. looks like he has gotten a little bit, but not as much as a week ago. jackie, seems the larger debate among, people criticizing the romney campaign, looked like the last few weeks they looked like a campaign worried about, all right in virginia, women talk about the sequester in florida we will talk about medicare in this state, we will talk about this and now this week with it sort of the campaign is acknowledging, no, no, no, we got to went larger argument and the states will follow. mystified people that they haven t just, you know, trained in like a laser on the economy and what s going wrong there and goes back to when he picked paul ryan to be the v
in libya will be critical, bringing together intelligence they get through the air, from the drones, the kind of noise as they talk about from let s not pretend libyan this is a glen ling government t is not as if they have the theft institutions like we have, the fbi, cia, dni, things like that i mean, they have some intelligence, but it s scattered, is it not? this government was only like theed in july. the prime minister was appointed the day of the attack. they are really scrambling to and you are dealing with a government that has to deal with 300 militias. the security situation really troubled. talk about the larger question here. seeing all the protests, is it a fair question to be asking. we are in the middle of a presidential campaign. president obama as candidate obama said his first major speech overseas was going to be in an arab capital. it was, in kai row, i was at that speech. are we, the u.s. relationship with the arab world better now
