of the campaign and the election is that president obama was laying down aces on foreign policy, led by the card that says we got osama bin laden, and the republicans have done a remarkably good job of punching through this vulnerability with what happened in benghazi. it will be interesting again to see tomorrow night in the debate how effective governor romney can be in pressing that advantage. but about the debates, i promised myself i would say this. we get caught up in the debates and having said it, i think they could be decisive and maybe the first debate will be the decisive moment, but you know, i have a feeling that many people in the public, when they look at both candidates and each candidate individually, they have a feeling of sort of facing a manure spreader in a wind storm, it's all campaign posturing, all just messaging, that nobody is cracking through and saying -- >> we've got the footage down. breaking news from secretary of state hillary clinton on her trip to lima, peru. she is now talking about the benghazi attacks on september 11th. >> i take responsibility. i'm in charge
