Keeps changing from this administration on libya. i think it is indicative of a broader failing on foreign policy. i know theyre going to talk about foreign policy in the next debate. i would like to hear governor remain knee ask president obama why we havent stood by israel, our most important ally in the region, why we havent set clear red lines for iran, why theyre even close to having a nuclear weapon. why did we pull the interceptors out of poland? i think the best foreign policy is when we...

Blew great big hole in the wall in june. the president of the united states should know about something like that. did he? >> im not in the white house anymore. >> steve: but you talked about this. >> gretchen: theyre putting you out as a person to respond instead of the security people. >> im ready to admit that again, i dont sit in those meetings as brian said, i dont have the clearance to sit in each of those meetings. but i know this, that the president is concerned about what is happening i...

Display, but i predicted it based on joe bidens performance. i said joe biden is trying to bring it down. the president brought it up to that level. and thats what we had. so i think there is a lot of satisfied hard core liberal democrat this is morning, but i think main stream americans, independent americans are saying, who was more presidential? and on that count and on that count alone, i think mitt romney won that huge. not even on points. knockout blow. >> steve: something i noticed, and j...

Voters question? lets listen to it and see what you think. >> we were sitting around talking about libya and we were reading and became aware of reports that the state department refused extra security for our embassy in benghazi, libya, prior to the attacks that killed four americans. who was it that denied enhanced security and why? >> gretchen: the president didnt really answer that question, mr. gibbs. do you want to answer it for the american peel today? >> look, i do think the president an...

Where governor romney was not good as in the first debate. he stayed on offense and kept it about president rather than the personal. this exchange he got defensive and i thought that the presidents answer back was a cheap shot but that was more personal and really didnt advance the argument he needs to make on the economy for the offense. >> steve: i want to talk about the libya situation and it was one headline. did mitt romney blow the opportunity to libya last night and how would you have co...

Because we are going to as a country, put people in harms way, in dangerous places of the world that we need desperately to be diplomatically engaged in. and look, nobody wants to find out the answers to these questions more than president obama, secretary of state clinton so that we can talk directly to the families of those that tragically lost their lives that day. >> brian: you understand the peoples frustration in trying to find out, as you follow it, maybe not as close as all we do, one mi...

Important political day because its the morning after and everyone is talking about this question from last nights debate. >> who was it that denied enhanced security and why? >> gretchen: some say the president didnt give a straight answer on libya. the presidents top advisor, robert gibbs, here to respond. >> brian: the economy also taking center stage last night. >> i can tell that you if youre to elect president obama, you know what youre going to get, youre going to get a repeat of the last...

Is about to learn this. when an incumbent president has a bad economic record and base it on raising the bogeyman of how horrible the opponent is and the bogeyman be it reagan or romney can show he is a good nice person, then the president has nothing left to campaign on. and thats what happened in the two debates d thats why there is a tidal wave of support to romney and i believe it will continue to sweep the rest of the country. >> steve: lets get back to libya? >> on libya. i think that ever...

A judge clearing the way for the mass murderer to wear a camouflage vest in court. although the ruling forbids him from wearing present day u.s. uniforms, the decision doesnt stop him from wearing ones no longer in use. day three of hearings resumes this morning at gitmo. the cash strapped u.s. postal service making history, but not in a good way. for the first time it reached its $15 billion borrowing limit from the u.s. treasury. the agency must now fully rely on revenue to cover costs. in j...

Was determined to get hises in and talking points from the stump on both sides. rich have had it too good. i want the rich to pay their fair share. we heard it five years and surprised to hear it again. libya situation got the greatest carry over. robert gibs is joining us in an hour and like when joe biden said we didnt know anything. leading to the foreign policy debate on monday. that will be the most talked about single portion of the debate. >> steve: last night the president took responsib...
