If the Libyan and American governments were similar, you would have a point. But they are not. Not even remotely close to being the same.

It was a great comment

Oh I got it all right. He is basically saying, "Don't blame me for this mess. Nothing I can do about it."

Sorry, that dog does not hunt. When you are a leader and in charge, I do not want excuses; I want results.

Half of your response is political forum 101, the other half is cliche'.

Gop'rs can try to have their gotcha moment because they have low attention span and they honesty refuse to read. But still stands if this is the worst sound bite they got out of it and they think it's bad, shows lack of comprehension and a lot of desperation.

Oh, I get it. We are playing the context card again.

I think that card has expired from being played to death.

Really?
Remind me never to employ you as a middle manager. If I tell you to go fire the secretary you might bring a garden hose!

If I do bring back a hose it will be to douse you with water.

Trying to find the video they played on the news last night but it's been deleted everywhere I have found it... I wonder why....

Nothing will come of it.. just another desperate attempt by Willard to score a point where there is no basket.....
But that was the "old" Romney..

Interesting though...the "old" Obama said he could change Washington from the inside. Now he says he can't unless he has majority public consensus from the outside. Rots o ruck with that.

The ol Romney said he could change Washington if he got inside by bringing outside of Washington skills he'd acquired to the Washington table.

Has that changed? I missed the bit where that changed.

Obama can't change anything from any position because he isn't a leader in any way, shape or form.

You can't lead from behind whether you're inside or out. A leader can change things, a community organizer needs others to do the work.
