    DEBATE: GANDHI VS. RED JOHN -- RICHARD DAY'S DARING DEBATE THREAD

    By Richard Day on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 6:00pm |
    Gandhi Curtis LeMay

    So who exactly is on Mitt's foreign policy team?

    Here, for example, is a partial list of some of the more prominent former Bush White House hands now working on the Romney foreign policy team: former CIA Director Michael Hayden, former Department of Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, former Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Eric Edelman, former Pentagon comptroller Dov Zakheim, former State Department Policy Planning Chief and North Korea expert Mitchell Reiss. The roster of George W, Bush veterans also include Robert Joseph and Stephen Rademaker, who both served as under secretaries of State for international security and arms control; former Under Secretary of State for Democracy and Global Affairs Paula Dobriansky; former State Department envoy on war crimes Pierre Prosper, former spokesman for the U.S. viceroy in Iraq Dan Senor; and former CIA counter terrorism chief turned Blackwater executive Cofer Black.

    http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/envoy/mitt-romney-announces-foreign-policy-team-171303969.html

    This little squib comes from Mitt's announcement over one year ago.

    But this 'team' is just the beginning:

    Start with Mitt Romney’s foreign policy team. Fifteen of the 22 members were policy advisers under the George W. Bush administration, and six of them are former members of PNAC. Romney's foreign policy white paper, ironically (or purposefully) titled “An American Century,” uses the same rhetoric used by PNAC and Bush-era ground pounders: It promotes American exceptionalism, force projection, and retaking control of the global landscape with seemingly little zest for earnest diplomacy. This makes sense since the report is authored by Romney's foreign policy team, complete with a foreword by Eliot Cohen himself. It is no wonder that Romney is overly hawkish on the Iranian “threat,” since the neocons owe Israel — big time.

    And do not think for a minute that Wolfowitz and Bolton are not there waiting in the weeds!

    http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2012/01/11/john-bolton-to-endorse-romney

    Schieffer is a hundred years old and a Texan so I do not predict any relevant questions but Obama better hit Mitt real hard on MITT'S TEAM for chrissakes.

    Anyway, join in whilst we listen to irrelevancy along with 30 second sound-bites from both sides.

    The surprises tonight might jolt us all out of our seats.

    SO JOIN IN THE FUN AND LET US MAKE FUN OF EVERYONE.

    We might just end up with some broken China and shattered Persian Vases; AND the parties might just drone on and on!

    BUT WHO KNOWS?

    PUTIN ON THE MITTS:

     

    Comments

    One hour to go and Rachel is happy we are spending time with her.

    The stage is in a 'neutral' setting and Rachel underlines that many votes have already been recorded or allowed or.....whatever.

    Chris Matthews has some silly speech about incumbency and the nuclear age and how our great leader has killed Bn Lauden and ...I am crashing.

    Rachel refers to w bush and I feel better.

    more to  come after I fix this streaming problem. ha


    by Richard Day on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 8:04pm

    ALLRIGHTY THEN! FRONT PAGE. HERE WE GO!

    Less than 45 minutes to go and Ed Shultz; my favorite gridironer (is that a word?) well...Chris and Ed and me think that Barry should attack the 'team' of Mitt and Lawrence has his regular smirk (one of only two or three smirks that I really appreciate!) and Robert Gibbs is telling us what the American people are most concerned about!

     


    by Richard Day on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 8:24pm

    Okay, now that everyone is present and accounted for; Chuck the Toddy tells us that there are battleground states and then shows us all the important computer Google maps and then shows us how smart he is and tells us that....

    WELL NO ONE KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT WILL HAPPEN ON THE 6TH.

    (Okay, I must pause here and underline THAT THE VOTING DATE IS TUESDAY THE 6TH OF NOVEMBER NO MATTER WHAT THE ROBOCALLS TELL YOU BECAUSE THAT IS WHEN WE VOTE; EXCEPT FOR ALL THOSE WHO HAVE ALREADY VOTED AND ALL THOSE WHO WILL VOTE BEFORE THE 6TH BECAUSE WE ARE AMERICANS AND WE CAN VOTE WHENEVER THE HELL WE WISH TO VOTE EXCEPT FOR FLORIDA OR WISCONSIN OR ONE OF THOSE STRANGE STATES!

    Okay, I shall return.


    by Richard Day on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 8:38pm

    Chris Hayes who forgot more than I will never know is having a good time attempting to tell Ed what is what and then Woody Harrelson is telling us about procurements and stuff he knows nothing about except that he is a repub in heart even though he has proven he really does not like repubs...

    Oh the Rev chimes in and he is terrific. Who can really handle the world asks the Rev?

    Well Romney has no idea what the 'world' means.

    Twelve minutes to go.


    by Richard Day on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 8:48pm

    Schiefer, who has recently be revived by oxygen or cocaine or some such asks a question about Libya and then the first to answer is Mitt who knows nothing about nothing except following his de-briefing by Bolton tells us that he is proud of the fact that Obama killed Osama--or was it that Osama killed Obama?

    Okay


    by Richard Day on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 9:07pm

    Obama is answering the neocon and says:

    Hell we need more troops in Iraq....

    And then Obama demonstrates the double speaks of Mitt and then...

    I realize that I am speaking to myself....

    But that's Okay...

    I usually speak to the TV all by myself anyway!

    Is that psychosis?


    by Richard Day on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 9:13pm

    OH OH!  Mitt is on and Obama is calling him out - how do you think Obama is doin?


    by Aunt Sam on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 9:14pm

    I do not think he is doing that bad Auntie. hahahahah

    Oh, he has the history down as far as what Mitt is saying.

    WHAT ARE YOU SAYING TODAY COMPARED TO WHAT YOU SAID LAST WEEK OR LAST MONTH OR LAST YEAR?


    by Richard Day on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 9:16pm

    Skipping this one, already voted. Can't stand to watch that pontificating a**hole Rmoney.

    I still think Obama should pull a Romney etch-a sketch, and talk about protocols and the possibility for hitting terrorists with tactical secret weapons from orbit, very Reaganesque. 

    After pundits bluster on the exciting possibilities or frying al Qaeda  from space, for a few days, on our worthless TV news, everyone would forget the details. But they'd remember that Obama seemed more kick ass than the other guy. Which would be worth a bump in the polls.


    by NCD on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 9:15pm

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA

    NCD he is doing the etch a sketch for sure.

    What did you say last week, or last month or....

    Anyway you have me laughing.

    I thought I was all alone; as usual. hahahahah


    by Richard Day on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 9:17pm


    by Elusive Trope on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 9:17pm

    Oh thank you Trope.

    Honestly,

    Thank you Trope!

    ha


    by Richard Day on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 9:18pm

    So I guess I should say:


    by Elusive Trope on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 9:24pm

    hahahahahahahha

    my favorite song; which you already know.

    God damn I think, November 6th, we may be assured of going places we never wish we could have. hahahahahah


    by Richard Day on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 9:25pm

    Ohio will lead us to the promise land


    by Elusive Trope on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 9:30pm

    42 years later...


    by Elusive Trope on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 9:32pm

    I'm not sure why, but Schieffer is making me nervous.

     


    by Aunt Sam on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 9:24pm

    I would have shown up sooner, but Trope gave me my song. hahahahah

    Schieffer, is 100 years old and a Texan.

    However, Mitt is speaking way tooooooooooooooo long.

    F*&K MITT.

    let's go now Barry!


    by Richard Day on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 9:31pm

    Romney is speaking platitudes - Ohio and Wisconsin eyes are glazing over.


    by Elusive Trope on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 9:34pm

    Is he even there?


    by Michael Maiello on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 9:47pm

    At the end yes


    by Elusive Trope on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 9:48pm

    I really wanted Obama to tell Mitt that he heard there might be a secretary of state position open after the election and he'd make sure the president would see Mitt's application.


    by erica20 on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 9:23pm

    Erica, I hereby render unto you the Dayly Line of the Day Award for this here Dagblog Site given to all of you from all of me.

    hahahahahahaha


    by Richard Day on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 9:27pm

    :^)


    by erica20 on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 9:35pm

    Mitt tells us that we should have been taking a leading role like when he led so many businesses into bankruptcy.

    Oh Mitt.

    I feel so bad that you never had the type of power that that Black guy has had!

    And I feel so bad that you never had the opportunity to read the secret docs that you would have love to have read and I am so very sorry that the only folks that you could have listened to as far as briefing were fascist pricks like Bolton.

    the end


    by Richard Day on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 9:24pm

    Mitt's foreign policy: blah blah blah blah.


    by Elusive Trope on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 9:28pm

    I only know what I know as Bolton tells me.

    God I hate this guy.

    What a rotten human being.

    oh I could go on.

    And I am sure i shall do this shortly.

    haahahah


    by Richard Day on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 9:34pm

    Oh yes he did - Obama threw up the Bush Cheney crap that Romney spewed.

    I think Scheiffer is just reading questions like a robot - Romney is going on about economy so he won't have to talk FP.


    by Aunt Sam on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 9:35pm

    Is it me or is Romney blinking way too much?


    by Elusive Trope on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 9:37pm

    I don't think so. cheeky


    by Aunt Sam on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 9:38pm

    hahahhhaahahaha

    I don't know, this comment struck me.

    hahahahahaha

     


    by Richard Day on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 9:47pm

    Schieffer is letting Romney just ignore FP!


    by Aunt Sam on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 9:40pm

    I'm at 5 simple steps--we want Obama to ask if Mitt means 12 million MORE jobs than the 10 m that are coming online as a result of his previous policies.....


    by erica20 on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 9:39pm

    That is not a strange perspective.

    What in the hell do we gain from this crap?


    by Richard Day on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 9:49pm

    oh snap - the how do you support the military increase question


    by Elusive Trope on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 9:40pm

    Ask him which loopholes, Bob! 

    Which loopholes??????


    by erica20 on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 9:43pm

    Okay Mitt has gone on and on and on....

    Barry is not shining here...

    But he gives some stats on other countries...

    I have asked my staff....

    Another 7 million on what?

    And then you are going to .....

    The math does not work.

    Cyber and space and.....

    What are we going to need to keep our nation safe...

    Mitt is an arsehole


    by Richard Day on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 9:42pm

    he brought up the Olympics? Really?


    by Elusive Trope on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 9:43pm

    Great line on SNL this week

    it was the winter Olympics, that is 30 different methods of sliding.

    hahhahah


    by Richard Day on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 9:53pm

    Omg...we don't have the same number of horses in our military as we did in 1916?


    by Elusive Trope on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 9:45pm

    Now I am in 1927 and our Navy is down hundreds of billions of trillions of dollars...

    Barry:

    We have fewer horses and carriages than in 1927....

    NOT BAD!

    Mitt looks on like he is in some 12th century saint pic

    God I hate that guy...

    Did I already say that?


    by Richard Day on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 9:45pm

    Mitt's army:


    by Elusive Trope on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 9:47pm

    I wonder if Mitt will bring up his good 'friend', the President of Israel......


    by Aunt Sam on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 9:47pm

    he floundering, so if you can send him a quick text to help out, Tagg would like it


    by Elusive Trope on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 9:50pm

    Bayonets and horses. Just brutal. I thought Mitt might cry.

    I'm actually feeling a little worried about Mitt.


    by erica20 on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 9:51pm

    I don't think Obama likes this--pounding on Mitt is like having to put your old dog out of its misery by beating it to death because you ran out of bullets.


    by erica20 on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 9:55pm

    yes


    by Aunt Sam on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 9:55pm

    Erica, I caught this late.

    hahahahahahahhaahh

    THIS IS SOOOO VERY GOOD.

    Sell it to Louis CK or Patton Oswalt or some other goooooooood comic.

    hahhahaahhahaha

    I mean, THIS IS A GREAT LINE.

    I mean this is not some good line, I mean this is a great line!

    hahahahahahahah


    by Richard Day on Tue, 10/23/2012 - 12:24am

    "so you'd say we'd do the same things, but you'd say them louder..." perfect.


    by Elusive Trope on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 9:52pm

    LET US SHOW STRENGTH BY NUKING IRAN TODAY!

    The we shall not have to take the nuclear option!


    by Richard Day on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 9:54pm

    apology tour? really?


    by Elusive Trope on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 9:53pm

    They saw weakness because of the IOUs for those two NeoCon wars sticking out of our pockets.

     

    Jeeezus.


    by erica20 on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 9:58pm

    and rice.


    by Elusive Trope on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 10:00pm

    hahaha!


    by erica20 on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 10:08pm

    Well that is how I used my travels.

    Well let us look at my history......

    We have stood on the right side of history.....

    WHAT IF, SAYS THE 100 YEAR OLD GUY...

    oh let us not get into hypotheticals...says THE MITT.

    FUCK YOU MITT!


    by Richard Day on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 9:59pm

    Not getting into hypotheticals is the smartest thing Mitt has said all night....


    by erica20 on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 10:05pm

    I can't watch this anymore. I leave you brave souls to deal with it and will return in the morning to read your reactions.

    Bless yer hearts.


    by wabby on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 9:59pm

    I CANNOT TAKE THIS ANYMORE ANYHOW.

    hahahahahahahahha

    I hate this M(*&^&*er more than I ever had any idea I could hate anyone.

    WE ARE LOOKING AT BOLTON.

    NO KIDDING.

    THIS MITT IS DANGEROUS!


    by Richard Day on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 10:01pm

    Peace.  That there will be those who will put their vote check on the stuttering Romney is enough to justify a mass exodus to Amsterda.


    by Elusive Trope on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 10:01pm

    You know what?

    I really do like you.

    hahahahahah


    by Richard Day on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 10:04pm

    i'm working on a charter ship.  do you want a ticket? (i don't think they'll deny us docking)


    by Elusive Trope on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 10:08pm

    Barry looks better right now. 9:02CT

    You said this and then you said that and then....

    Killing Bn Ladin brought closure.

    DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA GOVERNOR WHAT A PRESIDENTIAL DECISION REALLY MEANS?

    HAHAHAHAHAH


    by Richard Day on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 10:03pm

    Sweet.  Romney agrees with Biden.


    by Elusive Trope on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 10:04pm

    Schieffer is perfect on Pakistan.


    by Elusive Trope on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 10:11pm

    Over at TPM Josh is pleased.


    by Flavius on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 10:12pm

    Sullivan is calling schieffer a passive moderator and that Raddatz was much better.

    i think Obama is doing good.


    by Aunt Sam on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 10:14pm

    ALL RIGHTY THEN!


    by Richard Day on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 10:35pm

    I dunno Aunt Sam I think Bob is doing ok. The bombers in the air question was dumb and I'm glad both guys rolled their eyes at that one, but he's ok.


    by erica20 on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 10:13pm

    The drones are striking? We never should have let them unionize!


    by erica20 on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 10:16pm

    It's the scab drones.


    by Elusive Trope on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 10:18pm

    To Romney: WTF do you mean by "strong leadership"


    by Elusive Trope on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 10:13pm

    We should use all methods necessary just like my friend Obama who is really not a friend but we must kill bad guys....

    We talk about all these things....

    But if I were in charge everybody would change their colors because Bolton and Wolfowitz would save us all.....

    Obama: We have engaged these governments....

    We respect women....

    And we believe in free markets....

    And I like melons...

    This nation decided that we should protect melons and....

    Why is this asshole still talking?


    by Richard Day on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 10:14pm

    Let us go to the next segment?

    What should I be most worried about as a 100 year old irrelevent idiot?

    Well jobs overseas, and .....

    Trade track forces...

    More cases against China than the previous 8 year administration, and then Obama stresses that Mitt was too tough on this....

    I love education and tech and babies and puppies....


    by Richard Day on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 10:16pm

    The line of the night has to be, "well Mitt we have fewer bayonets and horses too!"

    LOLOLOLOL, Romney is a member of the Know-Nothing party.


    by tmccarthy0 on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 10:17pm

    is he ready?

    I know Ryan has been doing the pumps to do work to take on the Bolsheviks. 


    by Elusive Trope on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 10:25pm

    Mac I do not know what lines they are going to hang their hats on...

    but damn...

    I cannot disagree with your assessment!

    I mean you GOT IT! YOU NABBED IT!

    DAMN!


    by Richard Day on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 11:04pm

    ROMNEY WANTS A TRADE WAR!!!!!


    by Elusive Trope on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 10:20pm

    Why does Romney have the look of a toddler who has soiled himself on the split screen?

     


    by rmrd0000 on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 10:24pm

    I lost track.

    This might be the funniest line I have ever read.

    haahah


    by Richard Day on Tue, 10/23/2012 - 12:08am

    I'm sure Ann has some wipes to clean up the mess.

    I'm waiting for the ones that wipe of smug arrogance along with the sack of lies and poop that he keeps spewing.


    by Aunt Sam on Tue, 10/23/2012 - 12:21am

    Okay we got ten minutes left!

    PART OF THE REASON THAT WE COULD.....

    WE ARE SENDING A VERY CLEAR SIGNAL THAT CHINA SUCKS. AND THAT TRADE SHALL ....

    OKAY THEN

    THE PRESIDENT SAYS FRICK YOU YOU LYIN SON OF A BITCH AND WE WOULD NEVER HAVE HAD LIQUIDATED....

    i am so damn angry at the conclusion for mitt's oration that i must hold myself back....oh I LOVEE TEACHERS

     

    SCHIFFER SAYS:

     

    I LOVE TEACHERS TOO!


    by Richard Day on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 10:29pm

    how much media time does this get tomorrow? my guess..a lot


    by Elusive Trope on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 10:31pm

    jeezzzz, where did you all go to school? I have to tell you, I hated most of my teachers. I remember on that used to beat me regularly with a yard stick. Hated her! Obama could have played well with people like me by talking about how much we hate teachers.


    by ocean-kat on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 10:40pm

    Romney: "I love teachers...."  soooo sooooo  pathetic.


    by Elusive Trope on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 10:29pm

    I wanted Obama to retort with, "in the same way you love Big Bird?"


    by Verified Atheist on Tue, 10/23/2012 - 5:22pm

    Can I put it simply: Fuck You Romney.


    by Elusive Trope on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 10:34pm

    Yes

    But I gave the line of the day to someone else.

    hahahahahahaaha


    by Richard Day on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 11:35pm

    I shall end this with a song I cited back in September of 2011 when I lost a good friend.

    I do not know exactly why but it seems so appropriate in that the theme of the song had to do with first class vs. coach:


    by Richard Day on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 10:34pm

    I end with a reply with one of the greatest films ever: Happy Together


    by Elusive Trope on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 10:40pm

    I had to take a short break so will catch up with all of you later.


    by erica20 on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 10:43pm

    Now we have the post post whatever!

    I dunno, the Rev does not like it.

    TO GO THE OPPOSITE FROM WHAt he said a week ago.....

     


    by Richard Day on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 10:42pm

    Ed likes it!

    Chris Hayes says:

    What are they talking about?

    Capability?

    Chris has no idea what the fuck these guys are arguing about!


    by Richard Day on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 10:45pm

     avis_Cherry RT @rsalinas3: Dang! CNN quick vote of shows Obama wins 77% vs Romney's 23%. With 4031 votes so far. Good sign for the Pres. #CNNdebate #Debate #Debates


    by Aunt Sam on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 11:01pm

    OH WOW!

    I don't think the pres is being completely fair to Romney on the Detroit thing. Had Romney actually been president, I think he would have done the same thing Obama did.

    But i dont like those NeoCons so don't have much sympathy.

    If you are watching MSNBC tonight, you are. Hearing a Republican analyst openly admit that Romney decided to lie about his previous positions and cling close to the President on the Middle East.

    Romney is the face of the modern Republican Party.They will do or say anything to remain in power.The cynicism is stunning

    However the election turns out, Democrats will have to adapt to deal with a Republican Party that will deny the facts and previously stated positions to win a political point. There will be no pushback from Republicans challenging Romney for denying previously held positions. This is imply terrifying. How can you believe anything that a Republican says?

    I see a bunch of CNN talking heads saying that Romney just needed to play it safe and look presidential. I think they're wrong. The race is a lot closer than it was a few weeks ago, but Romney is still behind. He needed another win to pull out ahead. And he did not get it.

    I think you're right Michael. As I mentioned, I did feel bad when the President had to try to beat Mitt to death with an old shoe. But Mitt did not win this one--instead, the Pres explained things effectively to undecideds and Mitt was not convincing. 


    by erica20 on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 11:23pm

    Btw, I'd like to claim foresight credit on the Benghazi attack. After the Crowley moment, I argued that the Romney campaign should drop it cold. They did.

    Michael,  here's what some may have been waiting for if they want to oh, I don't know, write a blog or fact check;

    Wanna bet that the SNL prop people are frantically searching for bayonets and horses (and most likely some 1916 navy ships)? 

    I gotta say, I am relieved and happy President Obama did so well and Romney was sweating like the pig he is.

    I wasn't kiddin' about the tax blog - hope someone does it.

    Oh this is just sexism!

    Of course, my granddaughter....now she is cute!

    Otherwise this is just plain sexism.

    hahahahahahah

    I thought Obama crushed ol' what's his name.


    by A Guy Called LULU on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 11:22pm

    do you meaan ol' what's his stuttering name?


    by Elusive Trope on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 11:26pm

    Well he did, on foreign policy. 

    Jury still out on the economy, the message for the next 2 weeks needs to be economy and get out the vote.


    by erica20 on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 11:26pm

    MITT?

    HAHAHAHAHAHAH

    whats his name?

    hahahahahah

    Obama holds sway over the five points


    by Elusive Trope on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 11:40pm

    Romney lied about his position on the auto bailouts. Romney told people to fact check  his WSJ Op-Ed "let Detroit Go Bankrupt". If the media does it role, Romney is a liar.


    by rmrd0000 on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 11:41pm

    There is a part of me RMRD  that just explodes at Mitt's responses; but damn....LET DETROIT GO BANKRUPT....

    I mean it is so clear what he propounded at that time....how in the frick do you abscond from that statement?

    Todd likes this.

    Todd says:

    This is no good for MITT!

    And Todd does not retreat from this initial assessment.

    WOW!

    Romney's stupidest lie was when he said, "We don't dictate to other nations". Unfortunately, there is no way for the Democrats to hold it against him.
