What They’re
Already Saying: President Obama Strong Out of the Gate
CHICAGO -- It didn’t take long for President Obama to show himself as a strong and steady leader, while Mitt Romney quickly appeared unsteady and uncomfortable, continuing with his wrong and reckless approach to foreign policy. Here are what some other are already saying:
Ed Henry @edhenryTV Obama seems more comfortable weaving his way around world -- Romney appears to be watching every word carefully to avoid gaffe, v cautious
jmartpolitico @jmartpolitico Mitt seems nervous out of gates
Jim Acosta @jimacostacnn Obama did come out swinging. #CNNDebate
Laura Rozen @lrozen Obama sounding a bit more sure footed so far......Romney like he memorized the map of MENA
Scott Conroy @RealClearScott Romney asked lay-up question on Libya. Doesn't answer it.
Arlette Saenz @ArletteSaenz Obama: When asked about our greatest geopolitical threat, you said it was Russia...The 80's are now calling us for their foreign policy back
Ed Henry @edhenryTV Obama zing on Russia: The 1980's wants its foreign policy back
jasoncherkis @jasoncherkis Looks like we are getting the Obama from the second debate.
Major Garrett @MajoratNJ Significantly, Romney does not describe what new U.S. strategy should be in Libya, Syria, Mali, Egypt or region.
Marc Ambinder @marcambinder Romney wants to let the Arab world fight terrorism on its own, but would leave more troops in Iraq
Philip Klein @philipaklein This is not the same Mitt who wanted to double Gitmo.
John Heilemann @jheil Romney very soft on Libya.
