AXELROD: Why Won't Romney be Straight With the American People?

Specifics, specifics, specifics.

The probably theme for debate number one. Obama can point to many Bills that failed to gain Republican support that are filled with specifics. Romney, on the other hand, has either kept the Republican specifics hidden because they are poisonous or they simply have no idea what to do.

For Romney specifics are poison to his campaign.

Since the first debate will be all economics we can look for PBO to point out exactly what he has done and what the congress has done to not pass his AJA, among other things. He'll have the specifics, Willard will have talking points.

Robert Gibbs Explains to Chris Wallace That We Have These Things Called Telephones to Communicate With
By Heather



In sticking with their running theme that President Obama doesn't spend enough time meeting with world leaders, Chris Wallace asked former White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs why President Obama was going to have time to appear on The View, not making time to meet with leaders during the U.N. General Assembly next week. As Gibbs reminded him, they have these things called telephones these days where President Obama can talk to these leaders at any time without the need for some formal meeting with any of them.

Obviously Wallace didn't think much of the explanation since he was still making snarky remarks about it during the panel segment later in the show. And I think Gibbs is probably right. If President Obama were agreeing to appear with Wallace, I don't think we'd hear him say a word about it.

<..> After years of carrying water for Bush on foreign policy, Fox is now doing their best to help the Romney campaign and painting President Obama as somehow weak on foreign policy and not doing enough to keep us safe from terrorism. As was pointed out on Rachel Maddow's show last week: New York Magazine's Frank Rich Tells Rachel Maddow: "Fox Really Is An Arm Of The Romney Campaign".

Wallace didn't like the "Chris, they have telephones in the White House." answer. That was a loud whine.
