Ben Stein Wishes Romney Said This -
Ben Stein -
This is the speech I would have liked to have heard from Presidential candidate Mitt Romney yesterday.
“My fellow Americans, today is the eleven year anniversary of the horrible mass murders of innocent men, women, and children in the United States by sick, twisted terrorists hiding behind the cloak of Islam. By a terrible stroke, today also marked vicious attacks on U.S. diplomatic missions in Egypt and Libya. These attacks, by raging, cowardly mobs, were supposedly instigated by an amateur e-mail about the being whom Muslims consider sacred and a Holy prophet, Mohammed. This e-mail was made in the United States under the protection of our Constitution, which protects freedom or speech and expression. The mobs who attacked our missions objected to the e-mail cartoon or whatever it was. They have the complete right to object. But they do not have the right under any international law to attack our diplomatic stations for any at all.
“My opponent, Mr. Barack Obama, chose to meet this international outrage by apologizing to the mobs in the form of a letter from Mrs. Clinton’s State Department condemning the making of the offending e-mail.
“Let me be clear about this: Mr. Obama is wrong…”

I wish Mr. Stein would get off his laconic ass and speech bomb Florida, New York and California for the conservatives. He should take Sununu with him.
How do you get an avatar on here? I can’t figure it out.

He kinda did say the first part. He did not say the second part. Maybe Ryan can say it soon….

Ben, great rewrite of Mitt’s speach. Mitt’s not ballsy (sp?) enough to say what others say for him.

The thing I disliked most about Romney was his negative ad carpet bomb against Gingrich in the primaries. He outspent Newt in some states, I think it was Florida right after the S. Carolina win, by 7:1. Now I’m grateful to know that Romney isn’t the complete Boy Scout the convention speeches would have us all believe. He couldn’t go after the Chicago Mack Daddy in the way Stein suggests, yesterday. Doing so would have been too vocal in light of the gravity of the events in the ME and would have made obama right about his assertions. It was a tightrope and I think Romney struck the right balance. The OFA knows they handed Romney yet another prize opportunity to attack obama’s inability to craft successful foreign policy — to the point of being ignornant of the bedrock of the constitutional imperatives of protecting Americans from all enemies, foreign and domestic and to do so in alignment with American interests. Any fifth-grader would seem to know this and yet obama does not. Or at least he seems to be ignoring it. This is why obama’s first thought was to attack Romney and the First Amendment, and then make weasel-speak speeches in the Rose Garden. Obama will be paying for that mistake in the coming days.
Romney is much smarter than I first gave him credit. That’s because I was being longing to see Gingrich debate The Won. But I now believe that Romney instinctively knows things obama does not (and it will come in handy in crafting his own foreign policy), and first among them is using your opponent’s own energy and actions against them. I think the Romney camp knew obama couldn’t keep his mouth shut and would feel impelled to respond to Romney’s perfectly-pitched comments and that’s why Romney timed his comments as he did. Once again, contrary to Legacy media’s attempt to take Romney down, Romney knew he could draw Team O-Bungle into another avoidable error. It’s a Zen thing.
