  Doesn't exactly inspire confidence, does he?

  Context, BizzyBee. Where is the rest of his answer to the question? Sometimes the best course of action is to maintain status quo. It is a detente over there with the Palestinians, unless you are advocating initiating outright war to drive them out of the West Bank. That isn't going to happen. Remember, Romney has talked to high-level Israelis about these issues and is more informed on the situation than you are. The recording was taken at a fundraiser in Boca Raton. There were doubtless many Jews worried about Israel present when Romney said this.

  <<<<The big issues--economy, jobs, deficit, the Middle East, China, and so on, are also important--and not good for the incumbent.>>>>

  They're not good for Romney either. I've heard nothing from Romney to inspire confidence that he is the right man on any of these issues. Moreover, his warhawk talk on Iran demonstrates his unfitness for the presidency. Another war will bankrupt this country. Iran is a dangerous enemy and attacking Iran will not be as easy as attacking Iraq was. Sure, we have more might, but the Iranians are smart, and they will respond in ways that will hurt us furhter.

  As much as I don't like Obama, Romney seems much worse to me.

  On a funny note, I read the following twitter post recently:

  "Finally we've elected a president who's cool, educated, & articulate and the Teapublicans want to replace him with a dork in magic panties."

  The author of this tweet apparently has the "eloquence" that Mitt admits that he lacks.

  There will be war with Iran, no matter which of the two men are President, 144001. That's the situation. Maybe not with a Ron Paul, but Paul is out. It will be Romney or Obama.

  The Israelis are going to strike. Iran will not limit itself to just hitting back at Israel. They will shut down the straits of Hormuz, attack international shipping, attack our Navy, and attack our bases in the region. That is what will happen if Israel strikes, and Israel will strike.

  Obama knows this. He is just trying to delay the Israelis until after November.

  Trickle Down III and the folksy 'borrow money from your parents' have not set the business community on fire, and it may not be much that a Business school could offer students either.
