Romney, Finally ! …… Obama, Loser !

In last night’s Presidential debate, Mitt Romney triumphed  …. over the liberal press !

For the first time in this race the American electorate got to see and hear the GOP candidate directly and unfiltered on the issues in real time exchanges with Obama without all of the carping, bashing, innuendo, distortions and outright lies of the liberal press and Obama campaign. And the verdict? A resounding debate victory for Romney. Even the Democrats said so!

Polling of undecided voters declared Romney indeed was viable as a candidate, Presidential in bearing and his ‘solutions” deserving of another “look”.

Democrats and liberal press meanwhile looked on stunned and in disarray during and after the debate over Obama’s poor performance.   

Immediately, Obama supporters and pundits began attacking their own candidate (CNBC's Chris Matthews was apoplectic in his rebuke of Obama) and flailing about for explanations no matter how absurd: the difference in altitude between Washington DC and Denver; Obama was distracted by his Anniversary, the insular Beltway Bubble; the incumbent debate curse; ad nauseum until finally there was remaining only grudging consensus on one truly inescapable conclusion for every viewer - Obama was not in command of the facts, and he was unprepared for this debate.

But as his detractors have said all along Obama was unprepared for his “role” as President fully five years ago.

If it were not for all of the sheltered safe harbor, mis-direction and blocking interference run by the liberal press throughout the Obama administration and his 2008, and 2012 campaigns, Obama’s incompetence and failures as a leader would have been more universally understood and acknowledged long before last night.

Last night by virtue of their absence on the stage supporting Obama’s elbow clearly emphasized just how much the liberal press have “spoken” for Obama throughout. Obama having to think on his own during the debate left Bill Maher quipping “Obama looks like he DOES need a teleprompter!”.

And it’s not as though there hasn’t been enough in print to illustrate Obama’s character flaws by those close to him:  assertions that Obama’s petulance means we’re “truly home alone” with no adult in charge of the administration;  that Obama prefers to remain aloof and to one side side  of the room while disparaging everyone else; that others in his administration rely on Pelosi and Reid for direction; that he believes everyone else is his intellectual inferior and to disagree with Obama only reveals your own bigotry. Hardly the personal traits that foster collaboration and cooperation with others.

Washington is at an impasse. Partisanship has trumped compromise. And Obama, with his partisan hacks, Pelosi and Reid, shoulders the largest part of the blame.

Disingenuously Obama repeated again last night that he doesn’t care where a good idea comes from (Republicans) but as he’s so often demonstrated a “good” idea is only the one that advances Obama and his agenda. In contrast Romney who said he would work with both parties to get “the job done” was all the more convincing because he has a successful record of having actually done it.

As the candidates themselves summarized in their last 3 minutes the hallmarks for their approaches for the next 4 years differed hugely and can be distilled to: Romney, Collaboration and Cooperation … Obama, more Divisiveness and Polarization.

Obama promises more in the future of the same of the last 4 years resulting in the same outcomes – failure for America.

It’s time to hand Obama his walking papers and put Romney to work!
