It seems like it would be tough to do.

Then again, maybe Soledad is the only one who ever asked anyone about it so they don't have to worry about it.

After he actually delivers it later today, there will probably be a lot of people asking the question.

6. She took 45 seconds to say only "there are differences"

then she looked like the girl who didn't do the reading assignment. Like if Soledad asked "What happens the in book Great Expectations?'

Answer: Like the people in the book we all have expectations and some are large and some are petty but some are also great. So we have expectations includign great ones and those expectations are great expectations.

She said 'Net an yah TWO' so I am thinking she is not much on foreign policy. Seems like Romney sent her just there to be an African American woman mouthing their meme on Obama.

Reconciling 2 Mitt Romney quotes is a tough job; gotta give her that much. I couldn't answer that question. I think Romney's statements in the 47% tape are CLOSER to the truth but what Mitt would really do with Israel is anyone's guess although we can rule out anything good.

people need to be informed so they can see the clear difference.

she does not need to know the foreign policy, nor able to educate the american people, but the american people are expected to know what romney foreign policy is to see the clear difference.

Or if she would still just sit there with a blank expression? Oy.
