Not after the Koch brothers and Karl Rove would've instructed him to give OBL a pass so defense contracters could keep bilking the country out gazillions for uneeded weapons! That and the fact that senor flip flopper doesn't have the spine to make and stick to a decision!

Osama was already dead.

Romney said catching bin Laden wasn't a top priority in 2007, so it's hard to say. He says that anyone would have now and I think what he means is if he had the intelligence gathered to bin Laden's possible whereabouts he would have made the order.

It wouldn't make any money for him or the top 1%, so I doubt it would be a priority.

He kind of flip-flopped on it, so at best we can say we don't know until the man was actually in that position to make the call. But hey you might be right, LOL.

I am pretty sure his house staff has a "No Kill" clause in their contract. That is one order they will not tolerate from him or Annie baby, those blood stains are a bitch to get out. mm Ossa Romney would be afraid to go near...now, if he was dog who could not fight back...Romney would be all over him....

If you read Romney complete comments (not the edited soundbite the left throws around like NBC screwing with the Zimmerman 911 tape), his point was not to expend too much effort capturing Bin Laden... just make sure he dies. And that's the outcome we got.

Please provide evidence of Romney's resolve in the past and Obama's timidity? I'm not saying Romney wouldn't have, but I'm not quite sure why anybody could conclude that Romneys got 10X the gonads of Obama because to my reading of Romney's bio there hasn't been a lot of 'defining moments' witnessing some great inner strength. (Nor for that matter has Obama's life been one full of moral testers.)

Hey, sorry if it seemed 'trolly' but 'I'll pass thanks' seems a rather droll and dismissive answer to what was a serious question... What is the evidence of Romney's great resolve in issues like this that would suggest that 'Romney's got 10 times the balls', Bold unsupported claims seem to be a constant for (most) of the right wingers on sodahead.... (Happens on the left too but to a much lesser extent) Bold silly unsupported claim are just as ridiculous as trolling. I'm fine with right wingers who have found some substantive factual basis for claims they make but this post didn't make that garde. It's essentially 4th grade name calling that's not even allowed on playgrounds anymore.

Well, he would not have fired the shot himself. Oh, that's right, Obama didn't actually do that either. The military conducted the mission successfully and bravely. Cheers to them.

Probably. How are we supposed to know. Romney was not President at the time. Anyone answering no is either stupid or has an agenda that they are pushing. Speaking of agenda's here's mine: PB Debate Forum

Anyone with that opportunity would take it. A precise surgical take out is cheap and has less political risk than a full scale war. Romney might have opted for the drone attack with missiles though. Confirmation is more difficult but the operation would be less risky.

I'll let his own words explain it. (from the 2007 Presidential debate)

"It’s wrong for a person running for president of the United States to get on TV and say we’re going to go into your country unilaterally. Of course America always maintain our options to do whatever we think is in the best interest of America. But we don’t go out and say “ladies and gentleman of Germany, if ever there was a problem in your country [and] we didn’t think you were doing the right thing, we reserve the right to come in and get them out”. We don’t say those things, we keep our options quiet."

Actually no.. If that were true Reagan would have beat Nixon in the 1968 RNC Primary. Reagan had more votes.

Each State is assigned x number of Electoral Votes based on population. The winner of the majority of the votes cast in a State gets that states total Electoral Votes. eg: California has 55 Electoral Votes. If only 3 people in the entire state vote - 2 for Obama and 1 for Romney, Obama gets all 55 Votes. It only takes 270 Electoral votes to win.

Stupid system huh.
