his issue positions, it does say president obama deserves credit "mt e es" ud mn'swn wos,eay ait myig, inng outoheact that mitt romney said he would not move heaven and earth to have gone after bin laden. is it fair game? we played a short clim of arianna huffington really upset with the obama re-election team. >> i think we've heard now for probably a year when, since mita cicay ry s ne aerim oorgnocy whh u un astoshg

he took something that was awor is vy men ate ll rkn cpl o y >> wl -- t answer is yes, isn't it? let's put it on the table. do you think, maybe not mitt romney but someone in the publicity party, do you believe for a moment if all those s.e.a.l.s did not come out of their safe and sound, someone would not have attacked this president. to quote what was said t ohi lnggeid orred is. mdethcio

here's wt i'll say about arianna. i respect her and i like her very much. i happen to disagree wholeheartedly. i think when you're the president of the united states and you go in and you take out the number one terrorist in the world and 27 others, you decimate al qaeda all across this world, you ought to be able 0%.est on thoseho hncininaar r spent me ithpron camp. et cera, et ceter ed gillespie is right. the country is divide. john mccain won more than 47% of the vote. and barack obama with virtually no foreign policy experience got osama bin laden and beat john mccain. it must suck to be on the other side of the shoe on this one. >> to the dynamic duo or super friends as we're calling them, utlaonipbad ndanpresident ctob

and what i tried to do, since i came into office, to make sure that north koreans understood the old pattern of provocation that then gets attention and somehow insists on the world purchasing good behavior from them. that that pattern is broken. and what we've said is that the more youllnd coeral. d thghwe can ancite, d doato hypothize what might hapn in e coming that's on, i think pyongyang is very clear that the united states, japan, south korea, other countries in the region are unified. and insisting that it abide by its responsibilities, abide by international norms, that they will not be able to purchase
