Re the right's "faith in Obama-
...@ Erin-<br /><br />Re the right's "faith in Obama-<br /><br />I nearly threw a piston(inspired by philbilly, of course) during Mr Romney's address when he rolled his eyes sadly over how hard he had rooted for Mr Obama to succeed. 'If Obama had succeeded, America would succeed.' <br /><br />Stewart's crack research crew had footage in a New York minute(reliable estimated to be 33 seconds) of Mr Romney NINE DAYS AFTER THE INAUGURATION on Cavuto's Fox show saying 'I hope his failed policies don't succeed'. Think of the lack of logic and self-awareness present in that comment. If Mr Obama's policies succeeded, then by definition they're not 'failed policies'. And after nine freaking days?<br /><br />Even Bill O'Reilly waited six weeks before trying to bury the President.<br /><br />Seeing Romney kick off his second Presidential campaign like that made we want to see the President kick his lying ass back to New Hampshire or Massachusetts or California or Utah or Michigan or whichever state this shameless opportunist calls home THIS week.<br /><br />I'm really looking forward to the debates. Mitt's mouth becomes a WSD (weapon of self-destruction) when he has to improvise or when he goes off script. Remember the devout Mormon offering a $10,000 bet? Who offers a $10,000 bet? You say "I'll bet you a shiny new nickel" or "I'll bet you a buck". Nobody outside of an out of touch and entitled trust-fund tool with absolutely zero self-awareness. Remember Mitt insulting the photo-op family in Pennsylvania? Remember Mitt grasping Rick Perry's shoulder in an effort to intimidate him during a debate? Remember "I like to fire people, don't you?" (I know, context, context), but again utter lack of self-awareness of how his words would be interpreted.<br /> UPDATE: 10:50 PM, 9/5/12. Bill Clinton is conducting a brilliant surgical strike on Romney and the GOP. The room is transfixed. If it weren't for the 22nd Amendment he might still be President.<br /><br />MR <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
