115. Gov. Rmoney You Have Many Advisors On Your Staff That Ignored The Threats Of 9/11 Before....

Tue Sep 11, 2012, 08:24 AM

Sep 2012

it happened. They were George Bush's advisors. They had insight and information from intelligence briefings that said that Al Quida and Bin Laden where planning attacks on our country and they didn't advise George Bush to do anything to try and stop this. Isn't that bad judgement on your part that you are including these same people that could have prevented 9/11 as your foreign advisors? Shouldn't the American People be concerned about your judgement - if you are using the same people to advise you?

This is one way to club him with it. All of MSM should be asking him this question. It should be asked of him at the upcoming debates. Put Rmoney on the defensive about this. Keep the pressure on him with this and then ask him about his sheltering his money in other countries. Ask him where are his tax returns.

This guy is not qualified to even be on the stage with President Obama - let alone be given the chance to run for the presidency. He will be a puppet just like G. W. Bush.
