irtion you know, this is the other thing, is that the omission, what is not there. and had there know been a protest, i suspect at a u.s. embassy or consulate before this before the explosion was at 9:40 p.m., let s say flfs a protest at 7:00 or 5:00 our 4:00 that, information i assume would have been relayed to headquarte. absolutely, absolutely. greta: there was no information of a protest, nothing? quite the contrary, business was going on as normal am they recognized that there was some security concern because ambassador stevens did not leave the compound that day. he was greta: it was 9/11. he was meeting other people, the last visitor was the turkish ambassador toward the end of the day. there had been no report of trouble for people getting into or out of the compound until then. greta: all right. now, though, the white house says, we don t know anything. that s the jay carney said they don t blame the president, don t blame the vice-president. don t blame me.
they are looking for starting bids of at least $10 billion. to find the fox business network in your area, go to fox business dot-com. giving you the power to prosper. greta: last night, paul ryan taking a friendly dig at the gaffe-prone vice-president and his response i say what i mean. but is that a good thing? take a look at the rnc s latest ad. i think the vice-president very well knows that sometimes the wors don t come out of your mouth the right way. i always say what i mean. i always say what i mean. he said, i think he can be ready, but right now, i don t believe he is. the presidency is not something that lends itself to on-the-job training. i stand by the statement. i always say what i mean. you know the phrase you always use, obama and biden want to raise taxes by a trillion dollars. guess what? yes, we do. i always say what i mean.
up his base, they were going to vote for him anyway. is it effective in terms of campaign strategy, do you think? i will tell nu25 days. the fact is that congressman ryan did very well in terms of polling with the independents and people who hadn t made up their mind. so you have somebody who may have he came across as a smart, young there was quite a difference, if you look at that from, that standpoint, as a smart, young guy. i think that is very attractive to the nation. greta: you didn t get a shoutout last night. but you got two, if my memory is correct at the presidential debate. none last night. i was extremely disappointed, extremely. but that s okay. i can live with it. greta: i don t know if anybody else has gotten a shoutout. i got four on the other debate. so i said to myself, what s going on. that was something. it was really a great honor. but last night, i got none. so that s okay, also. greta: what you do you make
i don t know if he can win. i don t think it s in him. i think romney is a really good debeirut. greta: it s a town hall. i think the questions will originate more from the audience? i think it s a combination. but regardless, obamaha has to be on. he said he was too polite and he was taking heat for that. he won t be polite. but the risk for president obama, the thing that has him competitive is the fact that people like him. it s over discussed and it s true. greta: if he can remain likeable the other night, he seemed disinterested. i mean, you can like someone, but if you think the person is not interested in the job. he was detached. that s why i think the democrats were so happy. regardless of whether you think he won or lost, he had energy. he was aggressive. after the listless performance, they loved it. this is a much more dangerous
presidency. i thought it was a huge distraction. i think he was really sent on a mission because the president was just the opposite. he was very lethargic. he was very, just the opposite of what you saw last night from biden. i think he went in there, whether himself or people testimonying him to do it, probably himself and maybe a combination of both, i think he had to be aggressive because the president was not aggressive, not aggressive at all. i being he really had no choice. i was very i would have been very surprised if he didn t act very aggressive, which he d. now, he interrupted a lot, and he smiled and laughed, you know, but the laugh was a disparaging laugh. but i think he had no choice because they needed something to energize them. you couldn t have somebody else go in quietly and get awiwith it, in my opinion. greta: okay. they may have energized their base with it. but do you wonder, i mean, the ultimate goal, i would think is to attract the undecided and independ
