1 1/2 hours of Libya isn’t going to allow him to hide. Too funny that this last debate is exclusively on foreign policy.

No easy way to campaign in earnest till Hillary finishes this gig as Sec of State...I think late January she hits the trail. She will talk foreign policy without any QandA allowed. Like she did when she ran for NY Senator on the endless listening tour. With secret service acting to keep those pesky reporters at bay.

I think you may be right-or she may take revenge by handing over more dirt on Bengazigate-she and Bill are very good at that sort of thing-remember those audits and FBI files? Either way, she’s gonna be loaded for bear...

I was saying, the fat lady has sung and she didn’t hit a note. I think folks get it that Obama denied it was terrorism. Splitting hairs just further weakens the MSM hold on Americans. Do I believe what you tell me to, or do I believe my own lying eyes?

Romney in a landslide.

The little twit can twitter all he wants-he still looked small, petulant and out of his league.

Speaking of dirt-there seems to be a lot of throwing of it going on as it is-surrogates either trying to duck and cover like Jay Carney and Susan Rice, commit career suicide like Hillary or make a stuttering attempt to obfuscate and re-interpret every sigh, look and word like Cow-ley and Axelrod-they are starting to step on each other.

LMAO! I’m willing to bet that Obama has NO idea what is in his pension portfolio-and as long as it makes money for him, he doesn’t give a damn if it is invested in factories employing indentured illegals from Mars who live on starvation wages in underground hovels someplace in the Himalayan foothills...
