After being widely criticized this morning for his ugly and dishonest criticism of the Obama administration overnight, Mitt Romney appeared before the cameras this morning, delivering a statement and fielding some questions from reporters.

At a certain level, this should have been relatively easy. All Romney had to was come out, denounce the violence, honor the fallen, and extend his condolences to the families of the victims. 

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's attempt to score political points off the Libyan embassy attack proved his foreign policy inexperience.

Romney said Obama sent "mixed signals to the world" after a Tuesday attack on the U.S. embassy in Libya killed American ambassador Chris Stevens.

It seems pretty clear that Obama condemned the attacks in a Wednesday morning address from the White House. Here is an excerpt of his remarks:

“In times of great drama and heightened crisis … I always think discretion is the way to go.”

Mitt Romney just held a press availability about the attacks in Libya and Egypt and the death of the U.S. Ambassador John Christopher Stevens. Remarkably, Romney doubled down on his claim that the Obama administration “sympathized” with the attackers.

The political conventions have become a reliable playing field for protesters from all walks of life to gather outside the conventions where their voices won't be heard otherwise. This was most dramatically realized in 1968 at the DNC in Chicago, when over a million anti-war protesters descended on the streets of Chicago to face brutal violence by the Chicago Police, broadcast live.

Persistence of large numbers of uninsured and related deaths shows urgency of enacting an improved-Medicare-for-all system, physician says
