Considering that the guy just released this you might want to allow the GOP candidates a little time to answer.
I would be very surprised if Thompson at least does not jump on this. And I would expect that most, if not all, the imprtant GOP candidates to hit this.
If this were a Republican making this comment, Pelosi and Reid would have already had press releases out and the dims would be preparing their talking points for the MSM talking head news shows.
I will wait and see how the Republicans respond, but if past experience says anything it will be a long wait.....
