Did Obama give any specifics? I failed to hear any of them.

But did the man say those words? You people keep howling about him doing it and have no means to prove that he did.

Wikipedia is fun
Quote:
When he received an advance copy of the speech, U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld took care to remove any use of the phrase "Mission Accomplished" in the speech itself. Later, when journalist Bob Woodward asked him about his changes to the speech, Rumsfeld responded: "I was in Baghdad, and I was given a draft of that thing to look at. And I just died, and I said my God, it's too conclusive. And I fixed it and sent it back… they fixed the speech, but not the sign."[11]

Bush did offer a "Mission Accomplished" message to the troops in Afghanistan at Camp As Sayliyah on June 5, 2003 – about a month after the aircraft carrier speech: "America sent you on a mission to remove a grave threat and to liberate an oppressed people, and that mission has been accomplished."
Bush stood below that photo-op banner with the idea that "mission accomplished."

So what are Romney's details to his plans? You guys keep saying Obama has fours years that show his details, Romney doesn't have four years of being a president to show that, so it would be nice if he stepped up and gave details....you know, if he actually had any details.

Why did you quote me but then delete the evidence I provided for my claim? Now I have to put it up again

I saw his full "performance" from start to finish. In fact I saw the entire RNC from start to finish which I'll bet you can't say about the DNC. Eastwood is slipping big time and he didn't do his party any favors.

He wasn't yelling at a chair; he was talking to it.

He do you know that "teabaggers" support Eastwood? The Tea Party probably does, but I'm not sure if "teabaggers" do.
