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!
