Hi Scott,<div><br></div><div>Your comment was cheap and superficial because, in addition to following the rules of the Constitution and in order to be taken seriously as a candidate, you then have to show that you can do the job. That's what I meant and you know that.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Even the Weekly Standard is not sure if Romney is qualified in this serious sense, or at least they want him to prove it:</div><div><br></div><div><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255);color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.666666984558105px">"It's another thing to convince people that you can really do the job. Many people wonder, and not without reason, whether any president can really do this job. So what else might you do?"</span></div>

Especially since they were posted before the attacks, I wanted someone smart, like you, to tell me where the apology was. An Obama spokesman was so spooked by unfounded charges of "apologies," that he said that the administration did not support the apology from the embassy. I'm simply asking: "What apology"?</span></font></div>

<p><font>Hi Scott,<br>
<br>
What a cheap shot. You can do better than this.<br>
<br>
The tweets did not come through on my forward. They can be found on Today's Huff Post.<br>

Romney is qualified to be president as he meets the minimum requirements as specified in the US Constitution. You're doing a good job of preaching to the anti-Romney choir though...<br>

Subject: [Vision2020] Tweets from the Cairo Embassy<br>
<br>
<br>
Good Morning Visionaries,Once again Romney shows that he is not qualified to be president, and certainly not the leader of the free world. He has demonstrated that he has no inkling of what diplomacy and a bipartisan foreign policy is all about.<br>
Perhaps I'm a little dense, but why would any of these tweets require deleting? Just as close examination of Obama's foreign policy statements have shown, there is not hint of apology here or undermining "American" principles.<br>
The Twitter account of the U.S. Embassy in Cairo is deleting tweets it sent out regarding an anti-Muslim film by a filmmaker in the U.S. after a diplomat at the U.S. Embassy in Libya was killed by crowd protesting the video. All of the relevant Tweets are reprinted below, some of which have now been deleted by the Embassy.<br>
