Mitt Romney vs Hurricane Sandy
Gee. It must have been fun to mock President Obama on climate change back at Mitt Romney’s GOP convention (although if you’re going for the laugh Mitt, GET the laugh).
Between this and saying he’d end FEMA, I’m willing to bet we’ve got another set of things Mittens wishes he never said.
Life is funny, isn’t it?

Mitt Romney – wrong on auto industry – AGAIN
First Mitt Romney said “let Detroit go bankrupt.” Then he said he deserved credit when the auto industry was saved.
Now he’s falsely saying Jeep is “outsourcing” jobs to China. In fact, Jeep is building cars in China to build the market there BUT also adding 1,100 new jobs to the auto industry in Ohio.
Man – this guy can’t stay on either side of the fence long. Or get the truth straight.

The world widely favors President Obama administration over Mitt Romney
In a show of how much the world – and US allies respect President Obama – BBC World Service poll surveying 22,000 people in 21 countries found a wide preference for President Obama in the presidential race, who scored 50 percent favorable among all respondents to Mitt Romney’s 9 percent.
Almost a quarter, 24 percent, gave some variation of an answer that it made no difference. Only 16 percent said they didn’t know, a reminder of how closely the world follows American politics.
The poll surveyed many of the world’s most populous countries. It emphasized famously Obama-friendly Western Europe but skipped Russia and the Arab Middle East.
Here are the results from Globescan’s report:

Mitt Romney endorsed candidate: pregnancy from rape is “something God intended to happen”
Indiana Senate candidate Richard Mourdock, who has been endorsed by Mitt Romney in a direct-to-camera TV ad, said that at a debate this week that he opposes abortion even in the case of rape because a pregnancy from rape is “something God intended to happen.”
Mourdock’s full comment: “I’ve just struggled with it myself for a long time, but I came to realize that life is that gift from god. And even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen.”
Romney’s ad for Mourdock is the only direct to camera ad Romney’s done for any Senate candidate in the general election.
