Mitt Romney doesn’t understand why we can’t open airplane windows
He's conquered the world of business and soared to enormous political heights. Could aeronautical engineering be next for Mitt Romney? The GOP presidential nominee wowed a crowd over the weekend with his keen grasp of physics when he lamented that airplanes don’t have windows, appearing to view it as a problem that could be fixed in jiffy with a patent and a couple of good engineers. Speaking about his wife's emergency landing Friday, Romney said: "When you have a fire in an aircraft, there’s no place to go, exactly, there’s no — and you can’t find any oxygen from outside the aircraft to get in the aircraft, because the windows don’t open. I don’t know why they don’t do that. It’s a real problem."

Obama won a nobel for doing nothing 3 days after he came to office
Another was famous for having a monkey as a co star
It all total boolx over there
Firstly, the incident he is referring to was the cabin filling with smoke, so the passengers being unable to breath, and his solution is openable windows, because there's no where else to get oxygen from:
1) There are oxygen masks, so there is somewhere to get oxygen from.
2) At 30,000ft there is very little oxygen outside, you suffer from oxygen deprevation at less than 20,000ft.
3) At 30,000ft it's -50 to -80, so exposure, etc. would be far worse than the smoke in the plane, especially as it'd be a 500mph -50 degree wind.
4) If there was oxygen outside, and it wasn't freezing, then the last thing you want to give a potential fire is an ample source of oxygen
The man is a moron.
Obama will get in by default!
China's military growth does warrant some cause for concern but the Yanks have countered and will base a carrier squadron in northern Oz.
Just goes to show that power has shifted from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
As for Romney, I still hope the Americans have some form of common sense left and see through his blatant lies and scaremongering.
No-one except for Mormons, racists and septuagenarian alzheimer sufferers will be voting for Mitt the twit ...mind you,. in the USA that adds up to quite a few votes
Similar to the way the Americans think Blair was a good PM.
I'd say that 'opinions' are a bit moot - for anyone outside the US, Romney would be an unmitigated disaster. Hell, for 95% of people INside the US, Romney would be an unmitigated disaster.
When Obama took office the US was 10 trillion dollars in debt, now it's 16 trillion. He loaned 90 billion dollars to failing "green" companies who had contibuted to his election, and the latest, it took him a week to acknowledge that the recent murder of the US ambassador to Libya and others was a terrorist attack rather than a "demonstration". That's a start.
I've been in The States since '72, this is the worst President since then, and that includes Carter and Ford.
