Despite huge clamor in the news regarding Mitt Romney’s wipeout of the incumbent in the debate, I still don’t think much has changed regarding those truly intending to vote in November.
Because, as I’ve been noting for the past three years, regardless of what the polls supposedly illustrated prior to Wednesday, almost everyone, in practically any situation -other than union members or those receiving some kind of government handout- has been negatively affected by the current administration. Thus, I’ve always expected a Republican win regardless of the eventual candidate in particular. Nonetheless though, I think it helps even more that it turned out to be Romney, because of his outstanding successes in every prior endeavor.
For today though, I think there’s a much stronger indication than the debate results of not only how empty the incumbent’s suit is, but how truly unqualified he is as one who’s supposed to be a leader. Because while on stage and dealing one-on-one with Mr. Romney, the incumbent had no ready come-backs, no witty retorts, nor any real ammunition to counter the shellacking he took, but instead hemmed, hawed, and stammered with no valid answers.
But then, the following morning, this same truly embarrassed loser went out and spoke before a stacked house of toadies, groupies and Kool Ade quaffers, telling them all that the debate was fixed, his opponent’s a total liar, and the results prove nothing positive at all for Mitt Romney.
And that reaction tells me more than enough about the incumbent and exactly what kind of weasel he actually is.
Because, when he had his chance in front of millions of viewers to make a positive case for his record, he couldn’t. And not because of any kind of problem with debating itself. After all, for his entire life he’s done nothing but bombast, self-promote and talk, and talk, and talk, and talk, and talk, etc. forever. But his real problem is, his record's a total disaster.
Consequently, we now see someone who’s done a miserable job in office and been confronted by someone who not only refused to be intimidated, but presented facts, figures and irrefutable examples of presidential incompetency. And then, after slinking away when the debate was over, instead of moving on to recovery like the seasoned pro he’s purported to be in the press, the incumbent took the very next opportunity to defame his contender behind his back. And that to me illustrates far more clearly what kind of immature, ill-equipped, overrated phony we have in office than any debate ever could.
That’s it for today folks.
Adios
