Everything Obama says is great, if he had done any of it in the last 4 years, I'd probably be voting for him. Retweeted by Ann Coulter

Thanks. I really didn’t have a clue what it was all about, but the Parkinson deal could make sense. Or it is a prop of some other kind.

Chuck Todd ‏@chucktodd Romney hasn't been same since the Libya question and "act of terror" mistake Obama used the word terror. It is not clear exactly what he was talking about ..He never CLEARLY stated Libya was an Act of Terror. Take that with the claim that he later said it was video/protest. He did not say ACT OF TERROR

hard to say Mitt ‘won’ , and I am a HUGE Mitt supporter .
He did not kick ass to my satisfaction . Obama has so many many failings that he could have brought up . I could have answered /addressed the Libya issues better myself .

America needs to be led by our warriors . Come forth ! Save this nation . We will support you

Obama was digging himself a hole by constantly attacking Romney, then claiming he wanted 4 more years to bring the cost of gas down (after it has tripled in the 4 years he has had to affect the economy).

All Romney has to do is to talk a straight forward solution to problem after problem.

The only thing Obama knows what to do is to call Romney a liar and adversarialy accuse Romney.

When Romney countered Obama with his record, it simply put Romney on the same footing as Obama. I’m not advocating not holding Obama accountable for his record, but the tone of the debate was being given to Romeny as long as he keeps on track with solutions.

It’s incredible how Obama came back claiming he labeled the attackers as terrorists immediately after the Benghazi attack. Obama is seriously out of touch with what he presents to the public and even in his own thinking. The guy is about to lose it mentally.

"What is illegal is shipping arms to drug cartels without State Dept approval and executive approval.

Hopefully Mitts brief mention of F&F is enough for people watching who are still in the dark on the topic to look into that a little more.

The opinions of the MSM are moot. They will say “their” guy won regardless. The MSM lost credibility and impartiality years ago.

The White House

Office of the Press Secretary
For Immediate Release
September 12, 2012
Statement by the President on the Attack in Benghazi

I strongly condemn the outrageous attack on our diplomatic facility in Benghazi, which took the lives of four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens. Right now, the American people have the families of those we lost in our thoughts and prayers. They exemplified America’s commitment to freedom, justice, and partnership with nations and people around the globe, and stand in stark contrast to those who callously took their lives.

I have directed my Administration to provide all necessary resources to support the security of our personnel in Libya, and to increase security at our diplomatic posts around the globe. While the United States rejects efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others, we must all unequivocally oppose the kind of senseless violence that took the lives of these public servants.

On a personal note, Chris was a courageous and exemplary representative of the United States. Throughout the Libyan revolution, he selflessly served our country and the Libyan people at our mission in Benghazi. As Ambassador in Tripoli, he has supported Libya’s transition to democracy. His legacy will endure wherever human beings reach for liberty and justice. I am profoundly grateful for his service to my Administration, and deeply saddened by this loss.

The brave Americans we lost represent the extraordinary service and sacrifices that our civilians make every day around the globe. As we stand united with their families, let us now redouble our own efforts to carry their work forward.
