I didn't expect him to say it so many times
Here is one of Romney's top surrogates, the keynote speaker at the gop convention, overflowing with praise for Obama's leadership in this disaster. The effusiveness of the praise is what is striking. Clearly he was impressed and felt compelled to say it. Again and again.
To me it is heartening to see a republican governor and democratic president put partisan politics aside even this close to an election. It makes me proud of America.
