And now he's a desperate asshole: POLITICO Breaking News ------------------------------------------------- Republican nominee Mitt Romney repeated his criticism of the White House for its initial response to the attacks in Libya that killed four Americans, saying the statement was "akin to apology" and it was "disgraceful to apologize for American values." While expressing his condolences to the families of those killed, he said the Obama White House response "reflects the mixed signals they're sending to the world" on American foreign policy and values.
