CBS News doesn't get people are voting for or against Obama. Romney just happens to be the Republican candidate. It's going to come down to "Do you want 4 more years of Obama or don't you?"

It's not that simple or I might vote for Romney. It is do you want four years (or more) of evangelicals, racists, and war-mongers in control of all three branches of the government? The problem is not Romney; it is the company he keeps. Going to this university to speak, pandering to these puritans, is a matter of grave concern.

I don't think so at all, I didn't like Obama when I voted for him in 2008 and still don't, I knew from the start he was just another political hack, but I'll be damned if I'll vote to put another chest-thumping, saber-rattling, pre-disposed to war in the middle-east Republican in the White House.

In practice I don't see where Obama has done things in the middle east much differently than Bush did.
Well. he hasn't launched any full scale invasions/occupations against countries that did nothing to America and posed no imminent threat to the US, how'd that little FACT slip by you?
If anyone deserved to be unseated it was Qadaffi, his government was involved in an attack on US interests and deserved to be taken down as soon as that became known.
He made OBL a priority, certainly different than anything Bush did.
And I've heard Romney's chest-thumping comments on getting out and projecting American power around the world and of his willingness to go fight for Israel in Iran. NO THANK YOU!

Well there was no need to launch any new ones we are already too busy with the old ones,he has just 'stayed the course' Bush started.
To his credit he didn't make OBL any less of a priority but it was again 'staying Bushes course' that finally got him
.
I think Bush would have handled the libya situation about the same as Obama did....sent planes to bomb his forces,although libya hasn't attacked US interests for years
All republican candidates,[except Ron Paul],always chest thump but its usually the democrats who actually get us into war.Bush has been the only exception to that rule and without 911 I doubt he would have done anything but chest thump either.

There wasn't a NEED to launch into Iraq yet Bush did so your "they're the same" line doesn't hold up.

BULL! Bush's #1 priority both pre and post 9/11 was Saddam Hussein.

IF Bush was really looking to go after an attacker of the US, Libya would have been a much better choice than Iraq ever was.

Eisenhower was the first to send advisers to Vietnam, I don't seem to recall him being a Democrat, I don't seem to recall any consultation with Congress before Nixon went into Laos and Cambodia either. As for Bush, he and his cronies were making plans for Iraq long before 9/11, I doubt they would let something like a silly reason stand in their way. And I sure as hell wouldn't trust a ChickenS**T ChickenHawk like Romney (supported both the draft AND the war while conveniently avoiding both) with the keys to our military power.
