Washington (CNN) – Republican presidential candidate Jon Huntsman is not mincing any words in criticizing what he says is Mitt Romney’s absence in the debt ceiling debate. Huntsman says this is a time “for people to stand up and show real leadership.”
I had asked the former Utah governor and ambassador to China whether he agreed with Democratic political operative David Axelrod’s recent criticism of Romney. The former White House aide to President Obama had suggested Romney was missing in action in the whole debate.

Oh, good Lord. Can't get any better than this: One GOP millionaire demanding that another GOP millionaire stand up and demand support of all millionaires by urging Congress to pass Boehner's budget.
As I said, a guy with a less than 1 % poll has no right to be in any of the debates, but I am sure his billionaire mormon daddy with get that loophole. If he is in the debates than the other schmucks with a sub 1 % should all be in it.
Nice pic. The photographer caught them as they were trading their secrets on how to have great anchorman hair.
The Republican out to destroy America.
Why they are missing in action, if they become president they knew they have to raise the debt ceiling
If they don’t criticize follow members they can’t be strong leaders example last night 80 tea party members hijack the debate, Boehner was helpless
GOP = Get Obama Party.
Disgusting........
Huntsman does not have to worry about ctiticizing Romney, because Romney has no spine and will keep the lock step program of kissing all Republicans butts.
Why are there "plans" for the debt ceiling vote in the first place? This was supposed to be a simple Congressional vote until some Republicans hijacked the process and made it into something it was never mean to be. Some of these same ones voted three times under the last administration to raise the debt ceiling and the national debt increased over 90%. Vote on the debt ceiling and work out these other things later.
Mitt not taking a stand???!!!!
Oh well now, what else is new here???...
...you can just feel Romney trying to maintain that Republican lead, he can taste it..then the reality hits...BAMMM....the Republicans come out and vote for someone half-twit like Perry, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...
Forever doomed to be second Romney, you might as well take a stand and stick by it this time
P.S. Huntsman has no chance, Republicans don't want someone who has half-brains, they prefer their candidates to be empty headed...
Huntsman says Obama should use the bully pulpit??!! HA!!! Doesn't he realize Obama is a spineless weasel?! Mr. I-Vote-Present! Mr. Lead-From-Behind!! Mr. I-Have-NO-PLAN!!!
