Dueling pressers: Romney takes questions, Obama doesn’t on Egypt & Libya attacks

hotair via Instapundit

Mitt Romney came under considerable media criticism today at a press conference on the topic of the day — the attacks on American diplomatic missions in Egypt and Libya, and the deaths of Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three other Americans in Benghazi. Romney stood his ground on his criticism of the initial responses from the Obama administration despite repeated questions from the press as to whether he’d jumped the gun.

How should Romney have reacted?  I wonder if Romney should let himself be a sitting duck for a hostile press, when Obama won't take any questions himself.

All Romney has to do is point out Obama's incompetence, in my opinion.  That's why Obama won't take questions.  He can't say anything without compounding his problems.  So he says nothing.

Sometimes less is more.
