The reaction of Republican Congressional leaders, including John Boehner, Eric Cantor, Mitch McConnell, and John McCain is far less incendiary than Mitt Romney’s rhetoric on the Libyan tragedy, the death of the American Ambassador to that nation, in the midst of a planned attack by a minority of violent instigators.
Even Paul Ryan, the Vice Presidential running mate, has been cooler in his reaction to the events in the Middle East.
One can tell by their body language and their actual utterances that they are uncomfortable with Romney’s perceived overreaction to the tragedy.
And Ryan is now spending money to insure that he wins his Congressional seat in the First District of Wisconsin, as an insurance policy that he can keep his job in the House of Representatives, if he and Romney fail to win the election.
All the signs are there that Mitt Romney, by every utterance he makes, or his refusal at other times to give details or information, and instead to remain purposely vague, is quickly lengthening the odds against him becoming President.
No one in their right mind should put betting money on him taking the oath of office as the 45th President on January 20, 2013. At best, he will probably be relaxing at one of his many homes on that day, while Barack Obama takes on the burden of a second term that day at 12 Noon!
I really find it offensive that Romney just repeated his campaign mantra, rated false by Politifacts about Obama’s alleged “apology”
about America in response to the killing of Ambassador Stevens. A real jerk!
For me, Romney’s statement yesterday, is the most truly frightening thing that he has done thus far.
I think Mitt Romney makes John McCain and Bob Dole look a hundred times better as candidates, both of whom understand foreign policy, a crucial factor in choosing a President!
