Third and final presidential debate was also about what was not said last night.
GOP challenger governor Mitt Romney choosing not to push at the Libya situation with President Obama.
-- rally on Imus in the morning today says he thinks mr.
Romney missed an opportunity.
To win this thing.
I think you could've done it.
In an authoritative way by just saying Mr.
President look as an American citizen I'd like to know what happened there I'd like to know why the UN ambassador went -- misled the world.
I'd like to know what your press spokesman Jay Carney did the same thing justice in America -- I don't wanna see for American slaughtered anywhere so can you explain it to me.
And to mr.
our rallies point on last night's factor on the Fox News Channel he made a prediction.
If Romney won the debate decisively he would be the next president he did not win the debate decisively he said this morning.
What is my next guest think about this he just travel to Libya following last month's deadly attack.
On the US consulate joining me now is Utah Republican congressman Jason -- this.
Congressman good to see you should mr.
Romney had demanded tougher answers from the president last night on Libya.
Alec I think Mitt Romney did exactly let me grimy needed to do and that is be presidential he he -- his vision I think he.
Definitely talked about how to.
How to bring together the economy and foreign affairs and in a way that the only Mitt Romney could they point out the failures of the Obama administration and and the idea that we can't afford four more years of Barack Obama so Mitt Romney did exactly what he did.
Needed to do -- that is -- presidential.
-- -- More detailed answers from the president you didn't want to hear more from him.
What really happened on why -- -- -- ambassador was out saying that things that she did early on.
Well there is no doubt that the president and the Obama administration has misled the American public on what -- to make -- you can't have it both ways they've talked about so many different stories.
They need to come clean on this.
The debate yes could you maybe have gone a little deeper.
And perhaps.
But again you've got to make a strategic decision do you want to receive the floor to the president allow him to can you see continue to spew on.
Or do you as a candidate -- and share your vision for the country and for the world.
That's the opportunity when you're out they're talking to tens of millions of people I think Mitt Romney did exactly that he needed to do give the American public confidence that he could and should be the next commander in chief.
We did the challengers sound too similar to the president then on Syria on Iran was there enough divide enough -- enough difference.
To make a difference.
Look if you if you -- the united states military you understand the degrading of the infrastructure that that military might that we have.
The president can spew -- he wants about how he's you know -- band -- -- those types of things I think it was a contrived rehearsed line I think it's offensive to those of that serve in the military particularly in the navy when you look at a key status -- Virginia and others.
That have such military assets.
And to hear the president talk about that in such a demeaning derogatory way I don't think you gain any votes.
Thank you look at that -- say Mitt Romney is committed to our military that is a huge sea change if it so to speak.
-- difference between Barack Obama and end Mitt Romney.
Did Mitt Romney may though enough of a connection between.
Our status overseas our position in the eyes of other countries.
And our current economic and financial situation whether it's the weak economy whether this -- sixteen trillion dollars in debt.
Because he did take awhile to get around to it did he -- hard enough.
-- solely like Mitt Romney vote like these talks about.
What we need to do in terms of China and currency manipulation we talk about they are friendship with Israel.
There is nobody that believes that President Obama has bent over backwards to -- -- solidify our relationship.
With Israel there is nothing in his record that would suggest that he has actually done that so.
I think Mitt Romney is exceptionally strong outweigh.
And they demonstrated that not only in their talk but -- actions as well and -- and this is why I think.
The country understands rock track they wanna get back on track and that's why I think Mitt Romney come across so presidential while he'll be the -- why why he will be the next president of the United States.
In two weeks time hopefully we won't know congressman thank you hopefully social well kidney you know -- -- it's happened before.
Well it didn't take quite little little after election that congressman Jason Davis thank you so much congressman.
