united states who cannot be honest with the american people. why level about anything if he s president? how do we know american voters out there at this point which mitt romney we d get as president after seeing the display we saw last night and seeing a pivot back to the middle? well, i think, thomas, first of all, thank you for having me on. welcome back from your honeymoon. thank you. i hope you had a great time and what you ve seen in the last three debates is mitt romney and the first debate, a fabulous job. we agree that president obama was basically asleep. second debate, pretty muched him but the foreign policy debate is very different because what he had to do is go against somebody who s commander in chief and obama has a different stature in the debate and has to look like he can be commander in chief and he had a command of the facts, he knew exactly not just cliff notes but i would say in-depth what was happening and where he agreed with president obama, he agreed a
laid out to the american people where he would and would not go depending on what was needed and that was very important for mitt romney to do that and i think he did a fantastic job. all right. so as jackie s talking about there mitt romney showing specifics and a depth of knowledge, certainly, the president showed a depth of knowledge and aggressive posture about what it takes to be a leader in the position of commander in chief and being that person that other world leaders are locking to. however, as we saw last night, there is reaction from women and a focus group of nbc had specifically. i want to play a part of that for you. i rally liked the issues when they were talking about the small businesses. you know? and especially the economy. they kept harping on the economy and instead of obama really talking about what he was going to do to really build the economy, i felt romney had much better, you know, vision on where he was going and what he was going to do and his plan.
now and the changing face of the military moving forward in modern times. one thing, though, as it s supposed to be about foreign policy, glenn, the debate seemed to be brought back on domestic issues specifically about auto bailout. take a listen. if we had taken your advice, governor romney, about the auto industry we would be buying cars from china instead of selling cars to china. i said they need the companies need a managed bankruptcy and in that process, government help and guarantees but they need to go through bankruptcy to get rid of excess cost and the debt burden they built up and fortunately governor romney, that s not what you said. who s telling the truth coming to their versions of the specifics of the auto bailout? this is very complicated. governor romney written an opinion piece for the new york times which had the headline saying let detroit go bankrupt but he s correct. he was talking about a managed bankruptcy. and ultimately, that s where the
note is if you have a lot of undecideds this close to the election and an incumbent and four years to get these people convinced to stay with you, they aren t undecided whether they support you. they re decided they re not supporting you and deciding whether to participate. am i going to show up? i think what governor romney accomplished in the series of debates is confidence that he could be a president. he looked presidential. he acted presidential. and so it was one of three or two of three, whatever, he accomplished what he needed to giving the undecided a presidential look and confidence that he could be a president they could have confidence in. gentlemen, thank you for your time this morning. i appreciate it. thank you, thams. thank you for having me. absolutely. big bird, binders and bayonets. some of the biggest debate moments according to twitter. plus, less than two hours of apple s big announcement in time
your graphic. we do. good. you submitted the work on time, sir. good. and i thought that he actually improved over the second debate and romney, i m being charitable here. romney had really nothing to say on foreign policy. you know? beyond the benal and he could have run for miss america instead so a d is being generous for romney. my gosh, that s awful. that s way below. it s true, though. happy birthday, by the way. thank you so much. thank you, both of you. that s the breaking news i was going to reveal. i m sorry. i didn t mean to step on that, thomas. that s okay. the most important thing, though, in your estimation that governor romney was able to do last night is what? i think he just had to keep his momentum and not lose. i don t think these are issues for whatever reason that the american public will go to the voting booth and vote on.
