Governor and Romney surrogate John Sununu appeared on MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell REPORTS today to react to the first presidential debate. When asked about the performance of the candidates, Sununu spoke about President Obama and told Mitchell "I think you saw him, admit it the night before when he delievered the pizzas when he said, They're making me do this work. He didn't want to prepare for this debate. He's lazy and disengaged."
A transcript from the interview follows:
Andrea Mitchell: WELL, GOVERNOR, I KNOW YOU'RE NOT GONNA BE SHY SO - HOW DO YOU THINK HE DID AND ARE YOU PLEASED BY THE PERFORMANCE? HE'S GOTTEN RAVE REVIEWS ALMOST UNIVERSALLY.
FMR. GOV. JOHN SUNUNU: WHAT PEOPLE SAW LAST NIGHT WAS I THINK A PRESIDENT THAT REVEALED HIS INCOMPETENCE, HOW LAZY, AND DETACHED HE IS, AND HOW HE HAS ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA HOW SERIOUS THE ECONOMIC PROBLEMS OF THE COUNTRY ARE, AND HOW HE HAS FAILED TO EVEN TO ADDRESS THEM. I THINK EVEN THE LIBERAL PRESS REACTED WITH SHOCK AT THIS REVELATION AND I FIND IT FASCINATING NOW THIS MORNING AFTER THEY'VE SLEPT TO WATCH THEM ALL SCRAMBLING AROUND TO CLEAN UP THE MESS THE PRESIDENT LEFT ON THE FLOOR LAST NIGHT. ON THE OTHER HAND, MITT ROMNEY CAME IN WITH A LOT OF SPECIFICS, A LOT OF VERY SHARP KNOWLEDGE OF ISSUES. NOT ONLY W/ THE OBAMA VERSION OF BUMPER STICKER NUMBERS BUT THE GOVERNOR SHOWED HE UNDERSTANDS POLICY, AND HE UNDERSTANDS HOW TO MAKE POLICY INTO LAW, TALKING ABOUT WHAT HE DID IN MASSACHUSETTS.
Andrea Mitchell: GOVERNOR, I, I WANT TO GIVE YOU A CHANCE TO, TO MAYBE UH TAKE IT BACK. DID YOU REALLY MEAN TO CALL
Barack Obama, THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, LAZY?
FMR. GOV. JOHN SUNUNU: YES -- I THINK YOU SAW HIM, ADMIT IT THE NIGHT BEFORE WHEN HE DELIVERED THE PIZZAS WHEN HE SAID, THEY'RE MAKING ME DO THIS WORK. HE DIDN'T WANT TO PREPARE FOR THIS DEBATE. HE'S LAZY AND DISENGAGED.
