The media is proclaiming it a victory for the Republican Party and Romney. Who would have guessed that the same rich guy's son, who protested in favor of the Vietnam draft, (but skipped off to Paris, France, when his number came up, lingering there for four deferments) would show up at his first presidential debate, and take his fifth deferment from the Republican Party Platform and claim to be for the 100%.
Did that include the 47% he previously called moochers?
It was as though a confused Mr. Romney had been over rehearsed, overcooked, and adopted the Democratic Platform. An out of body experience, Romney muddled through his answers, looking desperate, nearing hysteria, dripping sweat. The moderator appeared fast asleep at the wheel and President Obama attempted to awaken him. Later, lie after lie after lie was fact-checked and proven to be lie after lie.
But who was counting?
"Did Romney just say Obama was in favor of 'trickle down economics'?"
Republicans called Romney victorious! Some stated Romney was victorious by just being there.
Suddenly, the same stumbling, bumbling corporate raider, who made millions sending jobs to China and squirreling away profits on the Grand Cayman Islands, was in the spotlight for his first presidential debate.
The guy whose recent adventures abroad became known as "Romneyshanble" by the British, and managed to step in up to his ankles in controversy wherever he traveled, like nestling up to Israel's Netanyahu and agreeing that a preventive strike on Iran's nuclear facility was necessary.
Yikes! Get Romney home before he starts WWIII.
"Oh sweet Jesus," said a newscaster when Romney attempted his cheer-leading skills. Another called his campaign a, "...rolling calamity."
Newscasters never asked Romney any follow up questions during the debate, missing the real story. Now they're screaming at Obama for their own neglect by saying:"He should have, could have, would have…"
Obama was Presidential during the debate. He didn't sweat. He never distorted his position. Didn't have to. Maybe the Syrian attack on Turkey was more relevant? But watch out.
Remember: General Motors is alive and Osama bin Laden is dead.
