The plan of the DNC, was to try to create a scandal using the Illinois company...another big FAIL of the Obama campaign.

I hate to break the news to you, but Obama owns shares in the Illinois plant you are talking about.

Obama Owns Shares Of Sensata, Personally Benefits By Outsourcing Of Jobs To China

"President Obama, a former Illinois state senator, has as much as $100,000 in a state retirement plan that contains shares of Sensata Technologies, the same auto parts company controlled by Bain that is closing its Illinois factory.

Btw, how about that wind turbine company that got stimulus money (50 million) and is laying off 800 workers in the US? Is Romney in charge of that also?

US Homebuilder confidence highest in 6 years,

" I think if Obama was smart, he'd resurrect the CCC in order to work on and fix our crumbling infrastructure and get people back to work like they did back during the depression."
That's exactly what Obama's jobs bill that the republicans are blocking is.

Actually Baratheon I think the CCC is a great idea. In fact that's exactly where our stimulus should have gone...to us, instead of bailing out banks that are still "too big to fail". Take a spin out west and you'll see all kinds of WPA and CCC projects that are to this day, iconic symbols of America. Obama didn't pursue that, and you know as well as I that the Republicans would never in a million years allow it again.
I'm not wild about voting for Obama again, but there's no way I could ever vote for Romney/Ryan. No way, no how.

" but there are lots of other types of taxes. When all things are considered, "nearly 100 percent of Americans pay taxes in some way, shape or form"
.
Indeed, it's called inflation. The best hidden tax known to man. Devalue the $$, let inflation take hold, and it serves as a huge consumption tax on everyone. Of course, most are not astute enough to figure out that they are being taxed by $$ devaluation on anything you consume. 47% may not pay INCOME tax, but who cares. No one should pay income tax. It was the most silly thing ever conceived by the turn of the century progressives. The country ran fine for 140 years without one.

The reality of the situation is that ALL federal taxes should be obsolete. Since the government can and DOES print money at will(QE3 was just announced last Thursday..soon 4-5-6-7-8....) taxes should not even be levied by the federal government. The fed can simply print all $$ the politicians need to run the government. Of course this is what is happening now, as about 40 cents of every $ is spent on deficit, and that deficit is simply then bought (created from thin air) by the fed. So why should anyone pay taxes? Just print away. Let inflation be the true tax on the people; as it ALWAYS is!

http://economistsview.typepad.com/econom...
"When Romney talks about the people who don't pay taxes and tries to make you believe that 47 percent of us are moochers living off the system, it's important to recognize that the people who don't pay federal income taxes are mostly the elderly and students. And notice how narrow the category is -- it's only federal income taxes -- but there are lots of other types of taxes. When all things are considered, "nearly 100 percent of Americans pay taxes in some way, shape or form"

Foreign Policy Achievements
President Obama:
• Killed Osama Bin Laden -Actually Navy seals did---sorta like my boss taking credit for a sale I made
Bush didn't do it. Romney didn't care, not important. All of Obama's advisor's advised against it.
• Ended Iraq War-Didnt really end-just shuffled troops over to Afganistan...with stragglers still behind
Iraq war should never be mentioned by Republicans, Why were we there? Oh yeah. Lies to the Middle East and the world by Republicans
• Killed more Al Qaeda leaders than any other President-again Presidents dont kill, they dont even make the decision to kill...He probably found out 5 min before Fox news (aside from bin laden...generals probably informed him of their plan and all he had to do was give the go ahead)
Obama gives the ok on drone strikes I've read. Even thinks about it.
• Supported "Arab Spring" uprising toward Democratic rule-Seems like this is working out real well since almost every embassy is under seige and all obuma can do is blame Hillary.
Blame Hillary? In what universe do you live in? Repoblicans, excuse me, the Tea ba....partiers blame Obama if he does anything, or if he doesn't.
Mitt Romney

Mitt Romney: NO foreign policy experience in a very DANGEROUS world!
Well Obama had no job experience, no foreign polocy experience, no financial experience, no understanding of budgets, no understanding of America, no understanding of what it means to be American, etc...
Obama has held jobs before running for office. His foreign "polocy" doesn't have him being called Mitt the Twit. And he Romney is likely inciting the violence in the Mid-East, with his comments.
If George Wills says Romney has a stupid stance, that says a lot.
But then again, you must be one of the people Rick Santorum said was not smart. Your people, your partyy.

Mitt Romney: NO foreign policy experience in a very DANGEROUS world!

The middle class is shrinking during Obama's administration due to losing their jobs under the Bush administration. They have exhausted all of their unemployment, used up all of their savings and are now part of the working poor having to take any job they can find at 1/2 the wages they use to make, myself included. One example is the auto workers. Many use to make $28/hr, they were laid off and then offered jobs in other states at $14/hr. Another reason the middle class is shrinking is due to the banking deregulation that allowed banks to manipulate the mortgage industry devaluing people’s homes by 40%. Deregulation of the banking industry also allowed Wall Street to use commercial customer’s money for risky investments which caused many, including me, to lose 40% to 50% of their 401k. What you are seeing is the long term affect of failed republican policies. They are just coming to realization during Obama's term. The policies of the current administration are usually not felt until the 2nd term.

wiggle, if Obama cares so much about the middle class, why is it getting smaller under his watch? Why is poverty growing under his watch? Everyone is trying to live with less and paying more under Obama. Middle class my ...
http://money.cnn.com/2012/08/22/news/eco...

"The middle class falls further behind"

I won't change your vote but don't tell me we are better off. That is a lie.

wiggle...that isn't truth, that's warped logic.

"But when you dig into Mr. Romney’s and Mr. Ryan’s proposals and you consider recent history, the fairest thing to say is that, so far at least, they have laid out a plan to cut taxes. They have not yet explained why and how it is also an economic-growth plan."
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/16/opinio...

Donna - you can't add anything when someone's got you up against the wall with truth.

poo...you aren't even worth a response.

donnaw said, "Do your own research and don't be so lazy! . Google pictures of Obama's bus and then tell me it isn't all black! IT IS ALL BLACK!"

donnaw, try to calm down and recall just how the conversation unfolded. It wasn't me that told you it wasn't all black. That was your buddy, Midnight_Ride, who was trying to help you out when he said, "It was black and green. I saw it at TA on Hwy 14."

In regard to your comment that, "it's more effective to play the race card," all I can say is that you've certainly demonstrated that here today with your continued mention of the color black in the same breath as Obama.

"This humiliating episode is still another instance of Romney attempting to borrow a political toughness and consistency that he has never possessed. It is an impulse that has led him repeatedly to make statements that offend American allies, compromise American policies, and injure American prestige."
http://www.nationalmemo.com/romneys-humi...

bowlgirl - I suggest you put the bowl down and let your mine clear a bit, Romney could give his whole years income to charity, it won't change the fact he doesn't care about us middle class - you know us middle class who make 200,000-250,000 a yr. He is soo out of touch with the people of America! If romney wins you better clean out that basement cuz not only will your college grad who can't find work will be moving in, so will your parents, and you'll have to pay for the parents 700-1500 a month in meds and health care bills. So it's a good thing the middle class make 200,000 or we may not be able to support the family!

poo. News flash... Do your own research and don't be so lazy! . Google pictures of Obama's bus and then tell me it isn't all black! IT IS ALL BLACK! I don't care if the candidate is purple pink or blue.....it is a stupid color for someone running for POTUS. It was a stupid decision to have a black bus. Period! You like playing the racist card because IT'S ALL YOU HAVE! Just like the article says, it's more effective to play the race card than discuss Obamas failed policies.

Bowlgal said, "according to their 2000-2004 tax returns"

You can't be talking about Mitt and his wife. They won't show us their 2000-2009 tax returns like Obama and Biden have.

I'm sure the Romney campaign loves "supporters" keeping the tax return issue in the forefront of voter's minds.

http://www.whitehousedossier.com/2012/08...
Romney gives 13% to 16% in years.

Romney’s estimated 2011 tax return shows he gave 19.2 percent of his income to charity, while his 2010 return puts his giving at 13.8 percent of his income.

http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/200...

Clearly feeling a bit stung by our earlier note that according to their 2000-2004 tax returns, Barack and Michelle Obama gave less than 1% of their income to charity

That good feeling was short lived.

onedayatatime, thank you. I'm happy to hear that. It doesn't change my vote for his failed policies but happy to hear it.

I don't know poobah but reading his/her comments indicates Midnight and the Daily Caller described the situation perfectly. If all else fails, you're a racist. I saw this week some liberal said if we eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches now, or saying Obama golfs too much. It must be really failing for them to get that desperate.

Bowlgal....not to burst your bubble but...."While living in Chicago, directed the Developing Communities Project, a nonprofit organization that works with churches to aid low-income neighborhoods. Headed Illinois Project Vote, which helped register black and low-income voters in Cook county. Served as a board member of the Joyce Foundation and of the Woods Fund of Chicago and board chair for the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, a project to improve public schools.
Charitable giving. Mr. Obama and his wife, Michelle, contributed $172,130 to charity in 2011 and $245,075 in 2010, 22 percent and 14 percent of their adjusted gross income, respectively."
http://philanthropy.com/article/Barack-O...
Rather than seeing a few isolated examples of charitable behavior, all things you mentioned are very commendable, I want a candidate who has devoted his life's career to helping others better their lives for the long term.
Since his 2nd day in office, Obama reads 10 letters everyday from private citizens and responds, sometimes writing personal checks to help those going thru hard times.

On the contrary, RetiredAirForce, his words served the purpose quite effectively. Your comment stands to confirm that. Thanks.

"Allow me to paraphrase" = watch me spin in circles because addressing actual words used defeats my agenda.

Midnight_Ride, thanks for helping out. Allow me to paraphrase what you just said. "Did you see the bus? It was black and green. I saw it a TA on Hwy 14. Why did donnaw only see the color black?"

She did say, "Saw a picture of Obama's campaign bus....why did he have it painted all black?"

donnaw said, "So wondering why someone painted a bus black is racist?"

No you aren't, you're changing the subject as fast as you can to run away from the racist tactic of mentioning the color black in the same breath as Obama at every opportunity that presents itself. Let me remind readers of exactly what you said, "Saw a picture of Obama's campaign bus....why did he have it painted all black?"

Saw that article too...the left's only campaign platform is labeling people who disagree with them as racists. Now it's their campaign slogan rather than policies and issues.

poo..so wondering why someone painted a bus black is racist? Wow!

poobah, did you see the bus? It was black and green. I saw it at TA on Hwy 14.
Why does the left only see color and not content?

Liberal super PAC: Calling Republicans racist more effective than criticizing policy

"kiowa,
Look into your crystal balls and tell the unwashed-which states will Obama lose? Will he carry each 2008 state but Indiana?"
.
IN is a toss up state. Won't matter one way or another if Obama carries it. As he will win OH, FL, PN. You might have a few flip states from the 2008 result, but it will hardly matter, unless of course you are wagering on the alternative line. I believe you can get Obama at around $2.00 a share (which is near 5/1 odds) to win over 300 electoral votes. No need to get fancy though. The play was to take Obama at near even money right after the GOP convention, just as I told you all.

donnaw said, "When all else fails play the racist card."

We saw the tactic in your first comment about Obama's black bus. No need to mention it again.

Mitt is a charitable man. I'd like to see anywhere in Obama's backward where he took a Thanksgiving dinner to a family who had a sick child in the hospital. No cameras, no political gain. Or used all his business resources to help an employee find his missing daugter.
But then again Obama never ran anything but his mouth.

Todays Lyan Ryan quote about Rmoney: "I'm not the only one who has told Mitt that maybe he needs to talk more about himself and his life,"
.
I'm all for that...lets see those tax returns and more flip flopping and "clarification" on some lies.

poo...when all else fails play the racist card. Typical of you lefties. Even if the bus was dark green or purple it would be weird. What's wrong with red, white and blue? It just reinforces Obamas seemingly lack of being proud to be an American. Look at a picture of the monstrous dark black behemoth. Weird!

donnaw asked, "Saw a picture of Obama's campaign bus....why did he have it painted all black?"

To expose racists that are fixated on bringing up color in the same breath as Obama with every opportunity they're provided.

http://www.americablog.com/2012/09/mitt-...
Mitt apologizes to terrorists. If he was right about the Cairo embassy message, why did he say the same thing?

Saw a picture of Obama's campaign bus....why did he have it painted all black? Looks ominous and like a Darth Vadar vehicle. Wouldn't you think someone who wanting to be reelected POTUS would have a more patriotic painted bus to campaign in? Just wondering.

http://maddowblog.msnbc.com/_news/2012/0...
Mitt`s falsehoods.

Romney was correct with his statement. He was strong, he defended America and our foundation of free speech and now will be getting the daily briefings.
We have since learned Obama skipped intel briefings and had warning of this mess he's created before 9/11. We have learned it has nothing to do with this little film that was shown in L.A. last June to about a dozen people.
This Obama administration is falling about at the seams and the American people continue to have our intelligence insulted with the media who coordinate their bias and would do anything to protect Obama if slapped a baby in the face.

Since he's in favor of infanticide, slapping is the least of the baby's worry.

"It all depends on what the meaning of ally is." "Oh, excuse me, I have to get to Las Vegas for a very important meeting." "Netanyahu is on the phone? Just tell him I'll get back to him next week, or better yet, next month as I have more important things to do. You did arrange my tee time, right? Yah, I want to be on the foursome that includes Michael Moore, Rev Wright and that Muslim Ambassador, what's his name? And remember to call MSNBC, CNN and the rest of the mainstream media to remind them to keep mum about this outing."

"Does your friend belive that the huffpo, dailykos, youtube, wikipedia, abc, cnn, cbs, msnbc, nbc, the nation, new york time are credible unbiased proof sources?"

Do you mean as compared to The Heritage Foundation, Crossroads GPS, Brietbart.com, Fox News and the American Enterprise Institute. Not even worth the time to debate

Promises of that many jobs, ok, just tell me how. Obama is far from a great president, but when you look at the situation, a slow recovery will put us on better track for stability than a fast flash in the pan. You realize the only reason it was not called a depression was nobody wanted to actually admit it. The Repub want to use the same tactics that has caused a great divide in the country, give the wealthy tax breaks, cut social programs.It didn't work with Reagan, or Bush, why would it work now. The only way we will get out of this IS BY EVERYONE WORKING TOGETHER, but chances of that are slim to none, from both sides. The parties have caused the divide. I wish we had a good canidate for president running, guess it is vote for the less of 2 evils.

As I predicted many many moths ago on numerous GAZ blogs. Obama will win Wisconsin, and pretty much every state that he carried in 2008. The morons of the GOP could not see the obvious, in that they elected a complete stiff in Rommney, who has ZERO shot, no matter how bad the state of the economy is, or how much wrong a direction the country is going. This election was over before it even started. Really one of the most boring, and uneventful elections in US history.

Apparently fedup thinks that agent orange is a joke.

Fact: The Democrats believe their own lies more then any other group of people. That is fine by me as the entertainment factor alone in the victories of 2010, Judge Prosser, and Walker's recall are enough to warm any heart. As with the meltdown of Obama's foreign policy, they are stunned. "We were so nice" "we condemned free speech" "we give you millions" - sounds like the Democrats treated the Muslim extremist like they treat the Democrat extremist.
Their problem is you can't get away with that level of behavior in America - although they sure tried in Madison.

But you bought Obama's under 8% unemployment. Isn't that the same as promising jobs?

It's evident Romney has NO foreign policy experience. SCARY!!!

A national disgrace: Mitt Romney

http://washington.cbslocal.com/2012/09/1...

The Middle class shrinking and lower class growing under Obama. D stands for Dufus

'tthompson...if it took 13 arrests for illegally using alcohol for you to get the message, you are a slow learner'

A) I wasn't arrested for 'illegally using' alcohol. It was the choices that followed. Do adults even get arrested in this country for using alcohol?? B) Be thankful you've never had anyone in your life with the same problem. I assume you haven't anyways or you wouldn't make such ignorant statements. Actually, nvrmnd, yes you would. C) Your ignorant opinion aside, that still doesn't mean there was an apology.

White House clarifies Obama’s statement that Egypt is not an ‘ally’

Now walking it back - Obama shoots first and aims later. He's the one out of touch and in over his head.

No experience in work a day world, no experience running anything and no experience in government other then 100 days or starting his career in the living room of a domestic terrorist.

Obama is like the little 8th grader putting on the big boy pants and going on the field with a professional football team. He looks the part but is getting creamed.

tthompson...if it took 13 arrests for illegally using alcohol for you to get the message, you are a slow learner. And no, it is not protocol for presidents to bow to kings and emperors of other countries. Just google it. It is a sign of his apologetic attitude for being an American. He is an empty suit. Even Carter had a more hands on involvement in foreign policies. He was very active in foreign affairs. Obama thinks he just has to go make a speech and he is done. He can just hop on a plane and go to Las Vegas and party and raise campaign money after hearing our ambassador and three other diplomats have been executed. Oh, and by the way, he has no time to meet with the leader of Israel who is in the US. He is too busy campaigning so, as he told Putin, he will have more flexibility after the election. We hope so, being unemployed he will be.

I am starting to think he might be going. Right back to the White House. Not sure, but it looks as though things are starting to trend that way.

Fedup, your IQ about "Orange" is equal to the number of teeth you have left. Don't bite into something you can't chew.Oh Nurse, more mush here.

'When you say you did some things wrong doesn't that mean you regret those decisions?'

NOT. AT. ALL. I've been arrested 13 times after consuming alcohol, and I don't regret a single one because each and every helped make me who I am. Acknowledging mistakes and becoming a better person/country by acknowledging them isn't an apology for doing them.

'He was roundly criticized for bowing to the king of Saudi Arabia and the leaders of Japan and China'

Bowing is a sign of respect in those countries. To me(and ALOT of people) using the customs of the country you are in shows WAAAAAAY more about respect than being stubborn and NOT acknowledging their customs.

Still waiting on your supposed evidence of Obama's apologies.

Are you still on the phone with Lying Paul Ryan?

Politifact: Romney Wrong on Cairo Embassy Apology

Romney-Ryan: Wrong for POTUS!

Donnaw, it's all in the editing.
Don't let Unibrow Hannity think for you.
That's a sucker move.
Why, you might as well listen to Rush Limghahgh.

Obama has also apologized for our past " imperialism and injustices" to the Muslim world. He was roundly criticized for bowing to the king of Saudi Arabia and the leaders of Japan and China. The pictures of him doing that are embarrassing.

So seeing and hearing Obama say "America has shown arrogance, been dismissive, even derisive." "Have at times been disengaged." " We have to acknowledge we've made some mistakes." "Our government has made a series of hasty decisions, gone off course." doesn't sound apologetic to you? Sure does to me. What else do you think he meant? When you say you did some things wrong doesn't that mean you regret those decisions?

" Romney in “No Apology”: In his first nine months in office, President Obama has issued apologies and criticisms of America in speeches in France, England, Turkey, and Cairo; at the CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia, the National Archives in Washington, D.C., and the United Nations in New York City. He has apologized for what he deems to be American arrogance, dismissiveness, and derision; for dictating solutions, for acting unilaterally, and for acting without regard for others; for treating other countries as mere proxies, for unjustly interfering in the internal affairs of other nations, and for feeding anti-Muslim sentiments; for committing torture, for dragging our feet on global warming and for selectively promoting democracy.

Our fact-checking colleagues at PolitiFact and the Washington Post Fact Checker both pored over those speeches, and others, and wrote detailed analyses of the content of Obama’s words. Their conclusion: Obama never apologized.

We’ve read through the speeches as well. We’ve come to the same conclusion: Nowhere did we see that the president “apologized” for America. In some speeches, Obama was drawing a distinction between his policies and those of his predecessor, George W. Bush. In other instances, Obama appeared to be employing a bit of diplomacy, criticizing past actions of both the U.S. and the host nation, and calling for the two sides to move forward."

Heres your video Donna.

Hannity states that he went around apologizing and then showed videos of the President acknowledging some of America's past flaws. Is that an apology?? Cuz I'm absolutely to immature to often, but I'm not sorry bout it...

Mitt nor any of his sons ever was in the military. But, it sure seems like he wants to start a war ASAP. I'm sure his sons would sign up when daddy starts a war though.....right...

west...just google it, Obama Apology Tour. One is utube #090923, clips of him putting down this country.

Mitt Romney may be a nice guy,
but he is in way over his head
when it comes to foreign policy.
He would do well to avoid the subject,
as he would many others.

The left arm is battling the right arm, which will win?
Just sounds like clapping to me.
I'm just sayin'...

There were no "apology tours" donnaw. You are further repeating right wing fringe talking points that have no basis in fact.

"Romney's response on Libya disgraceful"

[ http://www.cnn.com/2012/09/13/opinion/av... ]

"But in the hours after the death of the first U.S. ambassador killed in decades, Mitt Romney --panicked as his poll numbers have slipped --punched hard against the president, unleashing an unwise, inaccurate and un-presidential attack on the Obama administration."

"This is not just politics as usual, but something far lower. By point of comparison, when Ronald Reagan was confronted with the downed-helicopter rescue mission ordered by President Jimmy Carter to save the American hostages in the U.S. Embassy in Iran, he did not see it as opportunity to score political points. Instead, Reagan said, "This is the time for us as a nation and a people to stand united." Likewise, George H.W. Bush, then also running for president, said "I unequivocally support the president of the United States -- no ifs, ands or buts -- and it certainly is not a time to try to go one-up politically. He made a difficult, courageous decision." (Hat-tip to The Atlantic for unearthing these statements.)

No wonder a wide array of Republican foreign policy experts rose to condemn Romney's comments, including the longtime speechwriter and senior aide to Sen. John McCain, Mark Salter, who wrote: "to condemn (Obama) for policies they claim helped precipitate the attacks is as tortured in its reasoning as it is unseemly in its timing.""

Admit it, Mitt.

You are WRONG on Libya, and WRONG for POTUS!

Now, about those tax returns? What you so scared of....

Poor Fedup, did the nurses wake you up again ? Have another bowl of mush and maybe the world will look better.

I have more FOREIGN POLICY EXPERIENCE than Paul Ryan. And, I am not running for VP.

Over the years, I have visited more than 30 countries worldwide, worked in two foreign countries, and served business clients in more than 6 countries.

How many foreign countries has Paul Ryan visited? 2?

Romney-Ryan:

Zero Foreign Policy Experience

Donnaw,

Please provide text and links for any apologies that Obama has made. I am waiting. You LIE!

Bowlgal,

Obama never apologized. Go ahead, show me the text where there has been any apology by him. You can not produce it. It is another LIE by the Romney-Ryan camaipgn, and its ANGRY followers.

mjoseph, get out of the coordinated left media echo chamber who can't and won't focus on Obama because they can't justify his weakness.

Romney was first to condemn attacks. Obama condemned Romney.
Romney got it right, we never apologize for America's freedom of speech or freedom of religion.
Obama doesn't get it and we are in trouble with security and economy now due to his complete ineptness.

The world sees a weak President. 1979 Carter again now in addition to a crap economy, Obama is Carter's second term on foreign policy too.

When American leadership is weak, the world becomes a less safer place.

We need Mitt Romney.

mjoseph...instead of getting picky with the Romney reaction, why not look at Obamas "Apology Tours" of the Muslim countries. On his knees he apologizes for us over and over. He does not celebrate being an American, he apologizes for it. He doesn't think there is anything unique about America. He wants to rebuild it from the ground up, as Clinton repeated at the convention. What an egotistical man who thinks he is the savior reincarnate. The Muslim countries have our number. Under Obama we are no threat to their terrorist ways and hate. Under Obama we decimate our military strength and bow to the angry mob. This attitude has permeated the administration.

President Obama has become a liability to the financial security and this nation’s safety. He has not at any time displayed leadership or bi-partisanship. He has cost us years and years of rebuilding our exceptional country. He was born that way. He was raised that way. He doesn’t share any values of most Americans and come November, like the elections of rejection of 2010, we shall see that reflected in his dismissal.

Republican Leaders Bash Romney’s Bungling on Libya

Republican Peggy Noonan, a former speech writer for President Ronald Reagan:

"I don't feel that Mr. Romney has been doing himself any favors in the past few hours," she said. "When you step forward in the midst of a political environment and start giving statements on something dramatic and violent that has happened, you're always leaving yourself open to accusations that you are trying to exploit things politically."

Rep. Peter King- Republican:

"I probably would have waited 12 or 24 hours and put out a more comprehensive statement," Rep. Peter T. King (R-N.Y.), chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, told reporters on Capitol Hill. Romney's statement "can be perceived as being
political."

Former Republican Senator John Sununu, NH:

They probably should have waited," Sununu said. "You look at the way things unfolded, you look at the timing of it, they probably should have waited."

Steve Schmidt, manager of John McCain's 2008 campaign:

"For people who are running for president, this is a test where people evaluate their mettle as commander in chief, and the Romney campaign put out a statement before the facts were in that politicized the matter and gratuitously attacked the administration for something they did not do," Schmidt said. "The decision to double down on the initial mistake has put them into a potentially very dangerous political situation. During a foreign policy crisis, you can't build a position on a foundation of politics. … The situation remains serious, it's volatile and Romney is appearing to be very political."
