Mitt Romney’s foreign policy approach: “blunder and bluster”
In a series of interviews, Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, Senator John Kerry, Admiral John Nathman (ret.), and Former Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Michèle Flournoy explain why Mitt Romney is not prepared to be commander-in-chief.
They each lay out how President Obama’s leadership has made America stronger, safer and more secure while Mitt Romney has nothing to offer except bluster, chest-thumping, and a commitment to endless war.
Remember – regarding Osama bin Laden, Mitt Romney said “It’s not worth moving heaven and earth spending billions of dollars just trying to catch one man.”
President Obama, on the other hand, is the president who gave the order to capture bin Laden. That’s a fact. Mitt Romney said wouldn’t have continued the hunt for the man who organized the 9/11 attacks.
Romney was also trying to make political gain out of the Libya tragedy within hours of the attack on the US embassy.
Think about all that – who do you want to vote for?

Former Jersey Shore character backpedals on anti-gay comments
Former Jersey Shore star Angelina Pivarnick is backpedaling on an anti-gay rant that brought her a good deal of criticism this week.
In a recent online debate with gay singer Adam Barta, Pivarnick had said gay couples shouldn’t marry, adding, “If you want to date each other, fine. We’ll see how it works. But in the end, they should really go and marry the other type.” She also said she had kissed other women in bars and had offers of sex from them, which she turned down.
Now Pivarnick tells TMZ that many of her gay friends have informed her “how ignorant my comments were.” She offers an apology to anyone who was offended and adds, “I’m starting to understand that no one should be denied the chance at happiness that marriage brings.”
Pivarnick appeared on the first two seasons of the reality show.

Mitt Romney still supports a federal amendment to ban marriage equality
“Governor Romney supports a federal marriage amendment to the Constitution that defines marriage as an institution between a man and a woman. Governor Romney also believes, consistent with the 10th Amendment, that it should be left to states to decide whether to grant same-sex couples certain benefits, such as hospital visitation rights and the ability to adopt children. I referred to the Tenth Amendment only when speaking about these kinds of benefits, not marriage.”
The above statement comes from Romney campaign adviser Bay Buchanan, clarifying to Buzzfeed that he still opposes all federal rights for LGBT Americans. Earlier this week a remark by Buchanan left the impression with some that Romney no longer supports a federal ban on same-sex marriage.
For the record, I find the statement detestable. The quote “it should be left to states to decide whether or not to GRANT same-sex couples certain benefits, such as hospital visitation rights and the ability to adopt children….”
Grant.
Give.
Bequeath.
Thank you Mitt Romney. You are so giving and kind.
America – is this choice really hard???
Campaign ad: “Made In Ohio”
Mitt Romney famously advocated letting the auto industry go bankrupt. President Obama led the charge to save the auto industry.
In Ohio, 1 out of 8 jobs is connected to the auto industry.
Mitt Romney now says what he “meant” was that the auto corporations should have gone through bankruptcy proceedings and let private industry money come in and save them. The problem is: no one with that amount of money was willing to step up to the plate.
President Obama made the right call, saved thousands of jobs, and the US auto industry is again on top.
We have a clear choice this election.
The guy who saved the auto industry, got us our of Iraq, is ending the war in Afghanistan, got Osama bin Laden, repealed Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, and whose policies helped lead the stock market to almost double in four years and saw new home building starts jump 15% last month.
Is this hard to figure out, America?
p.s. that was not a trick question.
President Obama on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart
President Obama got a huge cheer from the audience in the first five minutes of his interview on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart over his support for LGBT rights.
“You want a president in the Oval Office whose going to say, ‘No, we’re not going to amend the Constitution for the first time to restrict rights for gay and lesbian couples,” Obama said, earning a big round of applause that interrupted his list of contrasts with Mitt Romney.
Obama said his record is “a strong story to tell,” especially on “social issues like ‘don’t ask, don’t tell.'”
