Yesterday, I used examples from my business career to support my belief that the current administration not only hasn’t learned from it’s mistakes, but instead continues to repeat and compound them. And to me, that factor demonstrates either an immense degree of stubborn arrogance from which the entire nation is forced to suffer, or a level of outright stupidity and incompetence far beyond measure.
As a basis for my conclusion, I noted that instead of offering valid arguments supporting the administration's performance to date, during their debate the vice president instead chose to childishly ridicule his opponent, Paul Ryan, acting like a brat caught misbehaving with no logical excuse. I then explained that I thought the reasons for the VP’s lame attempts stemmed from the administration’s doing nothing whatsoever yet to be proud of, and thus the VP could do little else.
Then today, I came across several items saying that the Incumbent has tipped his hand regarding his plans for his second go-round with Mitt Romney. And that a major focus will be Romney’s stint running Bain Capital, which the incumbent plans to attack, discredit and demean.
Now, if that turns out to be true, I think it will help Mr. Romney significantly in two extremely important ways. First and foremost it will give him a chance in rebuttal to describe and detail the outstanding job he did while at Bain. Simultaneously, it will serve to vividly point out that the incumbent knows nothing about how businesses run whatsoever, their huge importance and value to the economy overall and especially how the incumbent’s financial ignorance has cost the nation so dearly by greatly reducing one of the most revenue sources there is: taxes derived from business growth because the whole economy's shrunk.
However, beyond the preceding advantages to be gained by exposing the incumbent’s shortcomings regarding the nation’s economy, Mr. Romney will likely gain from a subtler point as well. Because, just like a poorly trained sales competitor in the business world, if competitors can do nothing but disparage other’s offerings, rather than presenting superior alternatives of their own, they not only appear weak and inferior…they cause prospective buyers to wonder why those particular other providers have them so scared.
So, in summation, it looks like the incumbent may truly be in a considerable bind regarding the remaining debates. Because having no positives to present, he’s not got much to offer at all, while his performance record’s a total bust. But, if he chooses to attack his highly accomplished challenger instead, the facts will make the incumbent look far worse. So, maybe the best route for the incumbent to take would be just to keep on campaigning out in the sticks and not even try to show up at all.
That’s it for today folks.
Adios
