CIA’s Hayden: Romney Right On Iran Tuesday, 23 Oct 2012 03:07 PM
By Jim Meyers and John Bachman
Former CIA Director Michael Hayden tells Newsmax that Mitt Romney was right — and President Obama wrong — when the GOP candidate said during the Monday debate that a nuclear Iran and not a terrorist attack was the biggest threat to America’s national security.
The retired 4-star Air Force General also says he is “not very hopeful” that negotiations with the Iranians will dissuade them from developing nuclear weapons. And he predicts that a President Romney would “review” Obama’s exemption of some of Iran’s major trading partners from imposing sanctions on the Islamic Republic.
Hayden served as Director of the Central Intelligence Agency from May 2006 until February 2009, shortly after Obama’s inauguration. He also served as Director of the National Security Agency from 1999 to 2005, and is now on the Advisory Board of LIGNET.com, a Washington, D.C.-based intelligence analysis and forecasting service affiliated with Newsmax.
During Monday’s presidential debate, President Obama stated that the biggest national security threat was an attack by a terrorist organization, and Romney said it was a nuclear-armed Iran.
They were probably just trying to cover all the bases - which tells me there might be some truth in the birth certificate thing, too. Why else try to be "pre-emptive" if you've got nothing to hide?
In the meantime, rumors abound regarding Trump's October surprise. I've heard good money is on Trump having obtained Obama's school application stating he is an Indonesian citizen, but this also just crept up on the news...
I don't doubt you for a minute. I heard the exact same thing from my Chrysler contact. Moreover, as part of the "re-structuring" Obama had them close off 200 car dealerships - which sounds suspiciously like something the evil Bain is accused of.
Fact Check: Obama makes questionable claim on Romney's auto bailout stance
by Joy Lin | October 23, 2012
In one of the most contentious exchanges of their final debate, President Obama and Mitt Romney clashed over the federal auto bailout of 2008, with the former accusing the latter of not supporting any forms of government assistance to auto companies.
"You were very clear that you would not provide government assistance to the U.S. auto companies, even if they went through bankruptcy," Obama said, going on the offensive. "You said that they could get it in the private marketplace. That wasn't true."
But Romney rejected the claim -- and he's got the op-ed he wrote to back him up.
In a 2008 op-ed entitled "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt," Romney did in fact call on the government to play a role in responding to the auto crisis but in the form of federal guarantees, not loans.
"The federal government should provide guarantees for post-bankruptcy financing and assure car buyers that their warranties are not at risk," Romney wrote in The New York Times editorial.
The dispute between the candidates boils down to whether or not -- as President Bush, and then President Obama believed -- government loans were necessary to save Detroit or whether -- as Romney argued -- private financing, backed by federal guarantees, would have been a wiser response.
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows Mitt Romney attracting support from 50% of voters nationwide, while President Obama earns the vote from 46%. One percent (1%) prefers some other candidate, and two percent (2%) are undecided.
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney may have exchanged a tactical defeat for a strategic victory in Monday’s foreign policy debate, losing on points to the president by most accounts but scoring a solid performance that left major pundits declaring he had passed “the commander in chief test” in resounding fashion.
CNN’s flash poll taken immediately after the debate had President Barack Obama winning, 48 to 40 percent. But a host of pundits declared it a strategic win for Romney, who played it conservatively as Obama aggressively attacked his positions, repeatedly insisting to Romney “that’s not true,” and “you’ve been over the map.”
The major question for Romney going into the debate: Would he establish himself as a trustworthy alternative to Obama in the commander-in-chief’s role?
“I think Mitt Romney did something very important to his campaign tonight,” former presidential adviser David Gergen told CNN. “He passed the commander-in-chief test.
Newsmax contributor, foreign-policy expert, and Pulitzer Prize winner Judith Miller concurred.
“What would have killed him was a Gaffe-gate,” she said of Romney. “One mistake, one Gerald Ford moment of Poland not being in the Warsaw Pact. And he was not about to let that happen.”
Miller was struck by the degree of consensus between the two leaders on a wide range of foreign policy issues. She said that by taking that approach, Romney “reassured people who fear a return to a more aggressive path. People are sick of war, and I think he did that. He reassured people that he is as steady in foreign policy as he did in domestic policy. I think he passed that test.”
Similarly, Fox News commentator and Newsmax contributor Doug Schoen, a Democratic pollster, told Newsmax shortly after the debate that Romney succeeded in demonstrating he is presidential “and on an equal footing with President Obama” in the foreign-policy arena.
Romney’s highlight came as he defended America’s role in maintaining global order. To do that, he said, the nation would have to remain strong, and continue to lead on the international stage.
“We have to also stand by our allies,” he said. “I think the tension that existed between Israel and the United States was very unfortunate. I think also that pulling our missile defense program out of Poland in the way we did was also unfortunate in terms of, if you will, disrupting the relationship in some ways that existed between us.
“And then of course,” he continued, “with regards to standing for our principles, when the students took to the streets in Tehran and the people there protested, the Green Revolution occurred. For the president to be silent I thought was an enormous mistake. We have to stand for our principles, stand for our allies, stand for a strong military and stand for a stronger economy.”

You're so wrong, Dude. One thing about Americans; they may not all be politically astute, they may not all be polished or rich - but they DO have a strong sense of right and wrong, decency and indecency.
Obama's behavior last night was deplorable. It will hurt him in the elections.
America is considerably weaker in both economy and military thanks to Obama. Do you realize the US represents only FIVE PERCENT of the world's population? We are the little guy compared to Asia, Europe and Latin America. Our strength has always been in our economy and our military..
The "Nation Building" needs to start at home or we won't be able to help any others.
Sometimes people deceive themselves by searching for a pre-conceived "type" that is never going to work in the end. Many, I think, unknowingly select types without realizing they are sub-consciously looking to fail. Or perhaps it is the example they learned from their own parents, which is equally doomed to fail.
It never hurts to "step out of the box" and select for other things - like character, chrisma, humor, stability...DECENCY.
Sorry Dude - Obama was dead wrong on this and the media IMMEDIATELY fact checked it after he debate. Romney's Op-Ed is published for all to see, so it only took a minute to prove Obama was lying.
Same with Status Of Forces - Obama wrong, Romney right
Same with his disgusting Bayonet remark - Obama wrong, Romney right.
And the White House also immediately back tracked on Obama's claim that sequestration wasn't going to happen! They said it "shouldn't happen," and there is a HUGE difference there, my friend.
The way I understood it, Obama wanted the Status of Forces - but didn't want the forces, which seemingly negates the entire concept.
Oh! And the White House IMMEDIATELY back-tracked Obama's statement about sequestration saying it"SHOULD NOT" happen. I hope somebody pins Obama on that today because I, for one, would like to know how Obama thinks he's going to get around it and all those cuts across the board.
"We look at these debates principally when it comes to effecting our vote at the attitude, tone and sense of the debate and we also look at it in terms of the specifics of the debate. Tonight it looks like while Gov. Romney may have "lost" the debate, he looked like a Commander in Chief and presented himself in a presidential way with the president's tone being much too aggressive and petulant and oftentimes times downright nasty.
The tone of the debate and how you present yourself matters a lot. The line about "they don't use horses and bayonets" -- that was a little too over the top. You could see that President Obama just doesn't like Mitt Romney and he can't hide his contempt for him. On the other hand, if Romney doesn't like Obama, he has a pretty good poker face for someone who doesn't play poker.
Romney had a very strong closing. He didn't talk much about foreign affairs, he linked it back to economy and had a very bipartisan tone. Tonight we saw the Romney strategy for the next 15 days and that is pound on the economy. There was a big contrast in tone between the two. Romney was calm, Obama was hectoring and went after him. Then there were Obama's Louis XIV moments -- "this nation - Me" and "when I took the shot." It was unusual and came off a little pompous. Like Louis XIV masquerading as the President of the United States."
Morning Ttom. I was waiting for that yahoo poll because it's a much bigger sampling than the 521 "random" internet sampling CNN reported. I smell a rat with that one, but it's really not an issue.
Long story short, I think Romney may have just sealed the election. He took the high road and firmly established himself as having the leadership credentials, while Obama took the Chigago route. One came with a plan, the other with insults. It was embarrasing to see our Commander in Chief so petty and mean-spirited.
Moreover, fact checkers IMMEDIATELY clarified that Obama was wrong on three major points: Obama was wrong on the Status of Forces argument; he was wrong on the military budget and bayonets; and He was wrong on Romney's position about Detroit bankruptcy.
CNN says it's too close to call. I think Karl Rove said it best when he detailed the poll results. Obama's leadership creds remained the same, while Romney's went up several points.
Careful with those Bush jokes, Conrad. You know Obama, Palin, Limbaugh, Coulter and Bush are all related.
The world’s largest online family history resource reveals that President Barack Obama is related to former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. Obama and Palin are 10th cousins through common ancestor John Smith. The website also found that Obama is related to one of his most vociferous critics, conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh. Perhaps Rush will ease up on the President when he learns they are actually 10th cousins once removed via common ancestor Richmond Terrell.
Ancestry.com researchers also discovered that Palin, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and conservative author Ann Coulter are also cousins through Englishman John Lathrop, who was exiled to the United States for becoming a minister of an illegal independent church.
But the connections don’t end there. Obama, Palin and former President George W. Bush are also related. Obama and Bush, who both reached the highest office in the land, are 11th cousins through common ancestor Samuel Hinckley. Palin and Bush, who are also 11th cousins, are also related through Hinckley. Apparently leadership runs in the family, since Hinckley’s son, Thomas, went on to become governor of Plymouth Colony.
"During last night’s presidential debate, President Obama and Mitt Romney tried to garner support from female voters. The Obama campaign has accused the Republican candidate of a so-called war on women. However, it was in fact a former aide to the Obama administration who once called the White House “hostile” to female employees.
Anita Dunn, who recently served has Obama’s moderator during debate prep, was also the former White House communications director. She was quoted in Ron Suskind’s book ‘Confidence Men’ saying, “This place would be in court for a hostile workplace … because it actually fit all of the classic legal requirements for a genuinely hostile workplace to women.”
Sean Hannity reported on his show, “Since Obama has been president, we have half a million fewer women working, 0.5 percent increase in unemployment for women, the poverty rate for women in this country right now is 16.3 percent.”
Syndicated columnist Michelle Malkin joined Hannity tonight to react to this fact checking. She said, “If this record existed under a Republican administration, it would be branded misogynist with a capital ‘M.’”
President Obama's own record on closing the gender pay gap is less than stellar. Using late 2011 figures, the latest available at the time, The Washington Times earlier this year surveyed 121 White House employees who were paid at least $100,000 and found that 47 were women and 74 were men. When all White House employees are considered, the Obama administration's record dims a bit further. Female employees earn a median salary of $60,000, roughly 18 percent less than men, whose median salary is $71,000.
