Mitt Romney and Presidential Crisis Management: Talk to Your Attorneys

This is what I love about unscripted forums, like debates (and beauty contests ). You get these type of responses.

At yesterday's debate, when asked if he would obtain congressional authorization before taking any military action against Iran's nuclear facilities, Romney said (and it was hilarious to watch):

"You sit down with your attorneys and they tell you what you have to do, but obviously the president of the United States has to do what's in the best interest of the United States to protect us against a potential threat."

Well, yeah, you wouldn't want other countries suing us over a violation of international law would you? Waitasec ... we don't really care about international law anyway! Hmmm ...

Naturally everyone else in the debate (whether they were lawyers or not) jumped on the opportunity to rake Romney over the coals.

Anyone want to check and see if Romney's got a lot of lawyers backing him?
