Yup, the 2012 Presidential Death March is now in the final turn as one week from tonight, the American people will finally go to the polls and choose between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney.
And next week at this time, it will be President-elect Romney and Vice-President Elect Paul Ryan.
Now it may come as no surprise that I would predict that outcome. But it is not just pulling a rabbit out of the hat here. It is looking at polling trends and where the actual enthusiasm lies.
With no doubt, the enthusiasm is on the side of Mr. Romney and the Republicans.
Rally after rally in battleground states more people are turning out for the team of Romney/Ryan over the incumbent Worthless Leader, President Obama and his dolt of a running mate, Dim Wit Joe Biden.
Now you ask, what about those polls.
I will give you something interesting to look at.
Over this past weekend, the Left Angeles Times published its poll of the presidential race in California. And not a surprise but the Worthless Leader, President Obama, is comfortably ahead against Mr. Romney. The number is 54%-40%.
So you say, why should I get excitcted? I mean, Cali is Blue as Blue, right?
Yes, but the numbers are kind of down to earth for the Worthless Leader, President Obama. Remember, he won California in 2008 with 61% of the vote. If you look at the poll in comparison to four years ago, the Worthless Leader, President Obama has lost at least six percent. And if one takes the plus/minus of 2.9% (round it up to three percent), it could be that the Worthless Leader, President Obama, is as low as 51% and Mr. Romney is as high as 43%. Or go the other way and it is 57% for Team Obama and 37% for Team Romney. But judging from around my neck of the woods deep in very Blue Pasadena, the enthusiasm is defiantly a reversal of four years ago. A lot more Romney/Ryan signs around and Republican candidates in general. Sure, there are some Obama/Biden signs, but nowhere near the overwhelming number last time around.
So, my guess is that the GOP will probably not win California, but the Dems, they are not going to have a 24-point win this time around. I think that it is probable that it will be in the single-digits this time around.
Look at the swing states.
We are now seeing Team Romney doing what I think is smart and that is expanding the map.
The reason is because they see openings in unusual areas for the GOP.
A recent poll in the Minneapolis Star-Tribune shows the Worthless Leader, President Obama, ahead of Mr. Romney, 47%-44% and that is within the margin of error. So, Team Romney is now doing ad buys there. And forcing Team Obama to spend money that they don't have, oh the irony, to defend a state they won by over 10 points last time around.
And Pennsylvania is also trending Team Romney and they are doing the same thing there. According to the Real Clear Politics average for Pennsylvania, the Worthless Leader, President Obama, is up by under five points. Meaning it is now worth Team Romney making a serious run. Buying broadcast air time and making a going-in-debt Team Obama spend more money in another state that they won by 10 points four years ago.
And here is Team Obama having to buy broadcast time to defend Michigan. And Team Romney looking at some other states like Oregon and Washington.
While all the numbers outside of each candidate's base states look close, it is the trend to look at.
And the trend is going Team Romney's way.
And one other thought is the general felling around the nation. That things just do not seem right. The economy should be doing better. People should be able to find work a lot easier than they are now. People on the cusp of retirement worrying if they actually can do so. There is a growing anxiety among the populace.
And the populace may be yearning not so much for "Hope and change" as much as for "Stability".
And that is why next Tuesday evening at this time, Mitt Romney will be President-elect.

Obligartory Second Presidential Debate Post
OK, let me get this out of the way.
The Worthless Leader, President Obama, was better tonight in the Town Hall presidential debate between he and the GOP standard-bearer, Mitt Romney.
But before you liberals choke on what ever you are eating that I do give the current occupier of the White House credit, the fact is Mr. Romney was steady and this debate is a draw but to get out of a room and having to choose one, I would choose the Worthless Leader, President Obama.
And why?
Because of the format and the fact that CNNdrone anchorman Candy Crowley picked some, to be blunt, stupid questions.
There were 11 questions that Mrs. Crowley chose from 80 supposedly undecided voters.
So, what were some of the winners?
One question rehashed a Democrat talking point on women and equal pay for equal work mantra.
Why is it a dumb question?
Because when the left and Democrats trot out the "women only make 72c for every dollar a man makes in similar or the same work" line, it is just stupid. If that were the case, there would be few men working and almost everything being done by women. It is one of the ruses the left loves to put out there to create a sex-class warfare issue that is just not there.
Another question dealt with revisiting the so-called assault weapons ban that has lapsed and makes the United States an armed camp.
Just a wee bit o' sarcasm on that last line.
But really, I know that there are people that do have a concern about it, but I did think that Mr. Romney did answer the root of gun violence overall much better than the Worthless Leader, President Obama did.
Yet there was one and only one question about foreign policy and it was about, surprise, Libya.
Oooh, this is where the Worthless Leader got his feathers in a bunch. Why don't question him and his commitment about protecting out diplomats. Especially in place like the whole Middle East that is convulsing toward Islamofacist states right before out eyes. And how dare Mr. Romney try to score political points on Libya by having a press release the day of the attack. Which BTW was on 9/11.
Only Mr. Romney did not release a statement about Libya. And that has been lost in all of the back and forth. The statement dealt specifically with the assault on the United States embassy in Cairo, EGYPT, in which the American flag was removed and replaced with the Black Flag of Islamofacist death. It was in response to the tweets and a senior embassy official that was condemning the supposed slight to the Islamocrazies. The infamous movie trailer for some beyond weird movie seen by less than 10 people in a Hollywood theatre for "The Innocence of Muslims".
It is very important to get it right WHAT Mr. Romney was really commenting on that day.
And he should stand by it and ask is it right to condemn the Freedom of Speech that is guaranteed under the United States constitution.
After all, as a Christian I do not go after people for supposed slights to my religion. After all, it would be a full-time job, right?!
But clarity is important and when the Worthless Leader, President Obama, is trying to obsucfate what Mr. Romney said and make it about what he did not comment on Libya, it has to be called out.
But here is the thing.
It is just not the best format as it is now.
A moderator should not winnow the questions that these 80 people wanted to ask of the two candidates.
Because both candidates are expecting certain questions and are all ready for them.
By simply picking the people at random and not screen the questions other than for relevance and it not go into the gutter, just ask Mr. Jones or Mrs. Smith or Miss Rodirguez, whoever what they want.
No matter what she will say, Candy Crowley had to let her own biases get in the way of the questions that she chose for the candidates.
Now there is a commission that puts on these debates, right? Let them chose the questions. And lets make it an even two hours.
We need the kind of question that neither candidate expects to be asked. We need to know how they react to the unexpected. Otherwise, as it was tonight, both candidates just get to polish up their talking points.
These debates end up being about style in the end. It helped then Sen. Messiah Barack in 2008. It is helping Mr. Romney now.
The last, thankfully, debate is this Monday evening.
Maybe we can get some better questions and answers from the candidates.

Oh Yeah, The Romney Surge Is Real
Read it and weep, my friends:
Romney 47.6%
Obama 46.1%
That is the national polling average at Real Clear Politics.
The Republican nominee, Mitt Romney, has surged at the right time against the Worthless Leader, President Obama.
There is no doubt that the public, over 60,000,000 that watched the two men debate last Wednesday are beginning to believe that Mr. Romney does have what it takes to be president in these difficult times.
There is no doubt that the GOP standard-bearer was behind the Worthless Leader, President Obama before last week's debate. And it was clear that Mr. Romney had to have a great debate and hope that it would help breathe life into a kind of sort of blah campaign.
In fact, if you look at the chart from the link above, Mr. Romney was pretty flat-lined at 45% to the Worthless Leader, President Obama's 49%. But look at the huge ground made up from Wednesday to Wednesday. While three points does not seem like a big deal, it is how Mr. Romney went ahead. But the Worthless Leader, President Obama, dropped three points and it would appear to be in a free-fall.
Tomorrow night, the respective vice-presidential candidates, the current one, Vice-President Dim Wit Joe Biden and the GOP number two, Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.) have their only debate.
A lot has been going around how Rep. Ryan will mop up the floor with Vice-President Dim Wit Biden. It is so bad that Vice-President Dim Wit Biden has been off of the campaign trail for six days prepping for this encounter.
For us, the bad thing is that the Vice-President has not said anything dumb, stupid or dangerous.
Too bad.
Maybe Vice-President Dim Wit Biden is just saving it all for tomorrow night.
But the bottom line is this.
Mitt Romney got to show the American public what he is all about without the filter of the Obamawhore front guard media. He was coherent, clear about what the problems are and the solutions to them.
On the other hand, the same public saw a distant, disengaged president that could not say anything that he has done has made the United States a better place in any way. In fact, it is as if the president was incensed that he had to actually be there in the first place.
And that is when the tide turned.
Huge percentages in instapolls right after the debate said not only that Mr. Romney won, but that people were willing to give him another look.
Some had to be people that would vote for the Worthless Leader, President Obama. Some were undecided. Some had not seen Mr. Romney and it was their first time and they were impressed.
The Romney Surge is real. Tomorrow night could very well add to it. If Vice-President Dim Wit Biden makes a total fool of himself and Rep. Ryan comes off similar to Mr. Romney, it will make the Worthless Leader, President Obama's job in the next debate harder. And in between Mr. Romney could gain even more support in the polls.
We now have a race on our hands and the real question may very well be this.
Is there any Blue states that Mr. Romney will be able to pick up in 2012?
Romney 47.6%
Obama 46.1%

WOW! What A Debate!
OK, yeah I am late to the post-presidential debate analysis which could take another post.
But, letting the reaction to the debate between Republican Mitt Romney and the Worthless Leader, President Obama, marinate made me realize that the whole debate was a deer caught in the headlights moment. Make that for 90 minutes for Team Obama and the Democrats.
I watched it twice to realize what a masterful job Mr. Romney did in totally deconstructing the whole three-plus years as an exercise in left-wing policies at its worst. And with ease at how he pointed the failures and what it would take to bring the moribund economy around.
But certain aspects need to be discussed before moving on.
First, it should be clear to all but the most die-hard Worthless Leader, President Obama's supporters, that not only is he an empty chair but hey, an empty suit as well.
The fact that the Worthless Leader, President Obama, does not feel any need for debate prep and that he is just sooo cool and awesome and all-knowing and all-seeing that the whole exercise is such a waste of time should come as insulting to anyone that has supported him.
But, sadly, it is not. Many are still just sooo into the dude that they would not care if he strangled a little kid on live television. For some, the delusion is that bad.
However, as I keep writing, there is a percentage of voters that can and will be moved to the Romney corner and it will be based on this debate.
It is because time after time when Mr. Romney went on offense, the Worthless Leader, President Obama, tried the professorial approach. To many, myself included, it showed a clear detachment that plagues leaders such as the Worthless Leader, President Obama.
Secondly, Mr. Romney could not have shown any more passion or care than he did this past Wednesday evening. Sometimes it was pretty excessive, but it has been Mr. Romney since he asked Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.) to be his vice-presidential nominee. Yet the Obamawhorefront guard media has not grasped this Mitt Romney.
Until now.
Thirdly, and this is for the aforementioned Obamawhore media. When they think that you are not in line, you become the punching bag that PBS' Jim Lehrer became by Thursday morning.
What was Mr. Lehrer's crime?
Why that he actually asked questions and allowed honest debate to occur between Mr. Romney and the Worthless Leader, President Obama. At one point, a belegard Worthless Leader, President Obama, begged Mr. Lehrer to move on to another topic. So, according to the Obama sycophants, why Mr. Lehrer "lost control" of the debate. And he did not ask follow up questions that could have helped the Worthless Leader, President Obama.
Uh, that is not a debate moderators role. It is simply to ask questions and the debaters within the time allotted. OK, maybe Mr. Lehrer appeared to be a little loose on that. But even there, the Worthless Leader, President Obama, spoke five minutes longer than Mr. Romney.
But what that shows is how horrible their guy, the Worthless Leader, President Obama, did during that debate.
Sad.
But what about the debate itself?
It was Mr. Romney's awesomeness on full display.
Take this very apropos new one about big government:
Trickle-down government.
Ouch!
The left has loved to use the phrase "trickle-down economics", a phrase uttered by one David Stockman, the former head of the Office of Management and Budget, to deride the economic policies of then President Reagan.
But now Mitt Romney took that and stood it on it's head and slammed the big government, crony capitalism practiced with gusto by the current administration.
Nice open if I do say so myself.
Then Mr. Romney went on to the obvious point that it is the very middle class that the Worthless Leader, President Obama, claims to have been and wants to help.
Too bad that he hasn't.
Once again, he used in this case, the words of the worst vice-president evah, Dim Wit Joe Biden right back on the administration.
Read the following to grasp how easily Mr. Romney took down the all-caring middle-class Barack:
The people who are having the hard time right now are middle- income Americans. Under the president’s policies, middle-income Americans have been buried. They’re just being crushed. Middle- income Americans have seen their income come down by $4,300. This is a -- this is a tax in and of itself. I’ll call it the economy tax. It’s been crushing.
At the same time, gasoline prices have doubled under the president. Electric rates are up. Food prices are up. Health care costs have gone up by $2,500 a family. Middle-income families are being crushed.
Yup, we are being buried. And trust me, living in the once Golden State of California, with gas prices rising 20c overnight the day after the debate, we are being buried.
And from there, Mr. Romney went on to talk about his five-point plan to bring the economy back and hopefully begin to correct the excess's of Team Obama.
And that was the thrust of the Romney message.
That Team Obama had three-plus years to fix the mess and they have not. The so-called economic "stimulus". Epic fail. So-called health-care reform? Even more of an epic fail and the federal government all but taking over one-fifth of the national economy.
What Mr. Romney wants to do is create flexibility and allow for states to deal with some of these issues, such as health-care.
And I thought the best exchange between the two was about the role of the federal government.
For all the talk that somehow, Mr. Romney is some closet liberal, his defense of and extolling the virtues of the Declaration of Independence and the constitution was very much conservative and spot on.
What the debate showed is that this election is not only a clear choice but that the Worthless Leader, President Obama, has been the past three-plus years is an over rated empty suit. And when challenged, he folded like a house of cards. Which kind of explains how we are where we are, doesn't it?

An Interesting Pre-Debate Story
I must admit that considering that The Boston Globe was very, very anti-Mitt Romney in his run for governor and when he ran, this story is in fact rather instructive on how Mr. Romney was kind of sort of the underdog in that governor's race in 2002.
In the linked article, then like now Mr. Romney had a lead and then lost it against the Democrat candidate, state treasurer Shannon O'Brien.Then like now Mr. Romney was running against a special candidate. A woman then, a Black now. And Mrs. O'Brien gained a huge advantage among women voters, which brought Mr. Romney's poll numbers down.
But then Team Romney got together for a bbq, barnstormed and realized the nice, nice campaign had to end. Mr. Romney had to get tough with Mrs. O'Brien.
And tough he did.
He even ran an interesting ad against the then state treasurer as a not too swift sleeping basset hound and not as a watchdog on the state legislature. It is one of the most talked about ads still today in the People's Republic of Taxachusetts.
Then like now he did have a few missteps, but they were overcome by an aggressive campaign that turned any O'Brien attacks against him on her.
At the end of that campaign, the polls showed Mrs. O'Brien and Mr. Romney in a dead heat. Mr. Romney ended up winning the election by about five points.
Bottom line is this.
Those that want to write Mr. Romney off and think that he will have a terrible debate and it is all over and we should just coronate King Worthless Leader, President Obama, the winner are mistaken.
This is a man that concluded a very brutal Republican death march primary. In all there were 19, yes 19 debates. And while he did not win them all, when his back was up against the wall, Mr. Romney rose to the occasion. Just ask Newt Gingrich.
And while Mr. Romney does not have to land a knockout punch, all he does have to do is have a command of facts, act presidential, not be personal in any attacks and I think that some people, yes even people that right now seem to be in the Worthless Leader, President Obama's corner, take a second look.
Yeah, women did in 2002. Mr. Romney was down 18 points and ended up losing the women's vote by five points.
He moved the needle just enough.
And that is really what he has to do tomorrow night.
Just ask Shannon O'Brien about that.

Those that want to write Mr. Romney off and think that he will have a terrible debate and it is all over and we should just coronate King Worthless Leader, President Obama, the winner are mistaken.
This is a man that concluded a very brutal Republican death march primary. In all there were 19, yes 19 debates. And while he did not win them all, when his back was up against the wall, Mr. Romney rose to the occasion. Just ask Newt Gingrich.
And while Mr. Romney does not have to land a knockout punch, all he does have to do is have a command of facts, act presidential, not be personal in any attacks and I think that some people, yes even people that right now seem to be in the Worthless Leader, President Obama's corner, take a second look.
Yeah, women did in 2002. Mr. Romney was down 18 points and ended up losing the women's vote by five points.
He moved the needle just enough.
And that is really what he has to do tomorrow night.
Just ask Shannon O'Brien about that.

Uh, Sorry Folks But Mitt is Right About That 47%
One thing that I love about the left has been this "99%" vs. the "1%". Some kind of weird number thing.
So, the Republican presidential nominee, Mitt Romney, was "caught" speaking truth to power once again to a group of supporters at a Florida fundraiser back in May.
The reason I quote mark caught is because the left is making his comments seem nefarious because he does not exactly say what he said while campaigning.
So, what was the pure eeeeevvvvviiiiilllll that Mr. Romney said when asked a question during this fundraiser? Here it is:
“There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what. All right, there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it. That that’s an entitlement. And the government should give it to them. And they will vote for this president no matter what…
“And I mean the president starts off with 48, 49 … he starts off with a huge number. These are people who pay no income tax. Forty-seven percent of Americans pay no income tax. So our message of low taxes doesn’t connect. So he’ll be out there talking about tax cuts for the rich. I mean that’s what they sell every four years. And so my job is not to worry about those people. I’ll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives. What I have to convince the five to ten percent in the center that are independents that are thoughtful, that look at voting one way or the other depending upon in some cases emotion, whether they like the guy or not.”
Now the above is spot on generally. And keep in mind, he is by his own admission in this press conference, speaking off the cuff.
But one has to divide the election numbers part of the comment, the point of government dependency and that he will not change a lot of those minds.
So, here is the election and the numbers area.
OK, I think that the numbers are a little off, but the reality is that Mr. Romney is correct. Under the three-plus years of the Worthless Leader, President Obama, dependency on government has increased. And especially with the federal government.
Mr. Romney is correct that the Worthless Leader, President Obama, starts off with big numbers and still a lot of support. But where he is wrong is to say that it starts off as high as 47%. Like I have written time after time about candidate and party support, the number that the Worthless Leader, President Obama, is probably at is between 40-45%. For the sake of arguement, say it is at 43%.
Essentially, that is the Democrat party base.
But where the Worthless Leader, President Obama, is steadily losing group is among independents. On pretty much issue after issue. So that number, 43% is the starting point.
For Mr. Romney, his number is probably at 35-40% to start. Again for the sake of arguement, lets make it 37%.
Those numbers make it a total of 80% probably locked it to said party and or candidate. Leaving that number I keep writing about at 20%.
Thus when Mr. Romney starts off giving the Worthless Leader, President Obama, 47%, he is being kind.
Maybe Mr. Romney should have said that the president will probably not get more than 47% of the vote.
Now, this is important.
Mr. Romney did come off way too flippant in this part of the comment:
And so my job is not to worry about those people. I’ll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives.
Even some of those that benefit from the government trough are begining to realize that it is unsustainable. And he should never, ever rule out ANY potential vote. I mean, I know what he is saying in general, but it comes off badly. Even at a GOP fundraiser with donors looking for the red meat.
Keep in mind that this comment came on May 17. So the numbers and all have changed and the reality is that this is a close race.
So what about those that are becoming and or are dependent on government? Is Mr. Romney wrong on that.
Once again in general, not at all.
Since the Worthless Leader, President Obama, became the current occupant of the White House, here are some numbers.
Poverty is at the highest number of people in over 40 years. Which means that this would be at the apex of President Lyndon Lynchin' Baines Johnson's so-called War on Poverty.
In 2011, according to the 2010 census, 49,100,000 live in what is considered poverty. And it is a record.
As of 2011, 45,000,000 Americans received SNAP assistance or what we remember it being called Food Stamps. In 2007, the number was 31,500,000. That is an increase of 70%. Seventy frickin percent!
None of this counts in the costs of implmenting the dreaded so-called health care "reform", aka Obamacare. Nor have I mentioned anything about government subsidized housing or a slew of federal programs.
And I have not mentioned some that yes, do benefit the middle class.
But fundamentally, all of these goodies are designed to make people believe that the federal government is there for them. And yes, creates what can only be classified as dependency.
So, how can Mr. Romney change the majority of these people's minds that his solutions for the ills facing the United States is better than what we are currently dealing with?
Again, he is correct that he will not be able to change most of those people. But some of those people realize that they are in a cycle that they are not happy to be in and those are the people that Mr. Romney needs to address.
There are persuadable people that have become so victimized by the Obamaconomy and do not like where they are and willing to listen. These are the people that want to get back to work. These are the people that will do something for the assistance that they are receiving from the federal government.
Which is why he needs to expand that 5-10% number of persuadables he mentioned in the comment to 10-20%.
Because that is the magic number.
Some of those people are very much really wondering can they be voting for the guy that will keep extending unemployment benefits rather than create an enviornment in which businesses will start up
or expand.
Some of those people will think can they vote for the guy that wants the government to determine their future or the guy that wants to let them make their own decisions.
But the overall comment is correct.
So, what really surprises me is that he said it.
For all the talk that Mr. Romney is not really all that conservative and that he is overly cautious, that sure does not sound like a liberal and someone cautious. It sounds like someone who gets the problems facing the United States today and states the obvious.
And while many think that this was terrible and disdainful of a large swath of Americans, remember that then presidential candidate Sen. Messiah Barack had this to say about the rural voters of Pennsylvania:
"You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them,. And they fell through the Clinton Administration, and the Bush Administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not. And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."
Yes, if the economy was peachy-keen in those Pennsylvania small towns, why the people would give up their guns, welcome the half-Black, half Norweigen, gay man in the wheelchair that likes to wear dresses and then give up on God for the government would be the new God.
And also, one is truly spot on, Mr. Romney, while then Sen. Messiah Barack was stereotyping.
And, give Mr. Romney credit for when he had a press conference in Costa Mesa, California last night, he did not back down from the comments.
What Mr. Romney needs to do now is turn this into part of what he will do differently as president. He needs to make this part of the stump speech.
Mitt Romney needs to stand up for those of us who choose not to be dependent on government but try to live our own lives and respect others doing the same.
While this is not the way that I think he wanted this talk to come out, he shoud welcome it and embrace it.

Mitt Romney IS Right And The Dear Leader Is Now The Worthless Leader
That's right, I wrote it all in the headline! And I will proceed to explain that Republican presidential candidate, Mitt Romney, is spot on regarding American impotence in the Middle East and how the Dear Leader, President Obama, is now to going to be referred to here, correctly, as the Worthless Leader, President Obama.
Mr. Romney has been condemned by the usual suspects for actually speaking the truth to power when he made his remarks regarding, at the time, the pressing issue of the Islamist thugs storming the United States embassy gates in Cairo, taking down the American flag and replacing it with a black, Islamic flag.
Oh, the usual suspects and in no particular order.
The Worthless Leader, President Obama, the sycophant Obamawhorepropaganda news media, the Democrats, beltway Republicans, the foreign policy "establishment" and that is pretty much it.
But back to the comments.
What Mr. Romney was referring to is this statement put out by the United States embassy in Cairo:
The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims – as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions. Today, the 11th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, Americans are honoring our patriots and those who serve our nation as the fitting response to the enemies of democracy. Respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of American democracy. We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others.
Ok, maybe there is no direct apology in that statement, but it certainly shreds the First Amendment to the constitution.
Oh yeah, were are these people when Jesus Christ is defamed in so-called "art" as being on the crucifix and then in a jar of urine and the "art" work is named "Piss Christ"? Yup, the crickets have been chirping on that one for many a moon.
But it certainly is the tone of appeasement. That really, we are on your side.
And supposedly, this tirade by these radical Islamics is regarding a movie that I nor the overwhelming number of Americans had never heard of, The Innocence of Muslims. And this was actually shown in a movie house with less than 10 people, yes you read that right, 10 people in attendance. And yet in a world away, this D-movie riles the Islamonazis.
Allegedly.
This is the statement that Mr. Romney released this past Tuesday, when at that point, the situation in Egypt was on the front pages:
“I'm outraged by the attacks on American diplomatic missions in Libya and Egypt and by the death of an American consulate worker in Benghazi. It's disgraceful that the Obama Administration's first response was not to condemn attacks on our diplomatic missions, but to sympathize with those who waged the attacks.”
Spot on. Mr. Romney.
It took a long time for the Worthless Leader, President Obama's, administration to walk back from that disgusting statement from the embassy in Cairo. And when the statement was released, no one knew the full extent of the savagery that took place in Benghazi.
Now, this is what Mr. Romney said prior to taking questions fromObamawhore attack dogs reporters yesterday morning:
Good morning. Americans woke up this morning with tragic news and felt heavy hearts as they considered that individuals who have served in our diplomatic core were brutally murdered across the world.
This attack on American individuals and embassies is outrageous, it’s disgusting, it breaks the hearts of all of us who think of these people who have served during their lives for the cause of freedom, and justice and honor. We mourn their loss and join together in prayer that the spirit of the All Mighty might comfort the families of those who have been so brutally slain.
Four diplomats lost their life, including the U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens in the attack on our embassy at Benghazi, Libya – and of course with these words I extend my condolences to the grieving loved ones who have been left behind as a result of these who have lost their lives in the service of our Nation, and I know that the people across America are grateful for their service, and we mourn their sacrifice.
America will not tolerate attacks against our citizens and against our embassies. We’ll defend also our constitutional rights of speech, and assembly, and religion. We have confidence in our cause in America. We respect our Constitution. We stand for the principles our Constitution protects. We encourage other nations to understand and respect the principles of our Constitution, because we recognize that these principles are the ultimate source of freedom for individuals around the world.
Possibly the Administration was wrong to standby a statement sympathizing with those who had breached our embassy in Egypt instead of condemning their actions.
Its never too early for the United States Government to condemn attacks on Americans and to defend our values. The White House distanced itself last night from the statement saying it wasn’t cleared by Washington. That reflects the mixed signals they are sending to the world. The attacks in Libya and Egypt underscore that the world remains a dangerous place and that American leadership is still sorely needed.
In the face of this violence, America cannot shrink from the responsibility to lead. American leadership is necessary to insure that events in the region don’t spin out of control. We cannot hesitate to use our influence in the region to support those who share our values and our interests.
Over the last several years we’ve stood witness to an Arab Spring that presents an opportunity for a more peaceful and prosperous region, but also poses the potential for peril if the forces of extremism and violence are allowed to control the course of events.
We must strive to insure that the Arab Spring does not become an Arab Winter. With that I’m happy to take any questions you may have.
Once again, spot on and no cowardice. Understand that Mr. Romney stood up for the constitution and what it means for us as Americans. It protects people that want to make a D-movie condemning Islam and Mohammad as well as "art" depicting a crucified Jesus in a jar of urine. And he did try to put something positive about the so-called "Arab Spring". However , he also stated what many of us believe is already there, an Arab Winter.
But to read theObamawhore attack dogs media, why it was horrible that Mr. Romney would somehow play politics with this situation. Never mind that their Lord and Savior did exactly the same thing when he was running for president in 2008.
Note to the uninitiated.
It is perfectly OK for a Democrat to do what then Sen. Messiah Barack did in blasting then-President George W. Bush. If a Republican does anything like that, well he is a disaster. And un-patriotic. And blah, blah, blah.
And if any of these reports are accurate, that our brave embassy marine guards guns were unloaded window-dressing, that the State Department had credible evidence that something bad was going to happen, then Worthless Leader, President Obama, man up and take what comes your way. Because your sir are the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the United States of America.
So, why is the former Dear Leader, now Worthless Leader, President Obama, deemed worthless by your humble blogger?
Because he chose to attend a fundraiser, what else is new, in Las Vegas, he dared to make this obscene comparison:
'The sacrifices that our troops and our diplomats make are obviously very different from the challenges that we face here domestically but, like them, you guys are Americans who sense that we can do better than we’re doing….I’m just really proud of you.'
Really? You are comparing coddled campaign workers to soldiers and diplomats who actually gave and will give their lives so said campaign workers can continued to be entranced by your "Hope" and "Change" skulduggery?
No sir, I will write that I am not proud of my president making such a statement.
You know who got in trouble for making a similar comment?
Why it was Mitt Romney in 2008 when he made the grievous attempt to compare his son's serving his presidential campaign then as serving in the armed forces. He was wrong to make such a comparison and was rightly rebuked.
But the difference is that Mr. Romney was a candidate in the Republican primaries in 2008. The above comment came from the president of the United States.
I am sorry, but a president can not compare a political campaign to those serving in harms' way. Period.
Hence, he is now the Worthless Leader, President Obama.
This has been a bad week for our nation. We do need leadership. We need new leadership. One that is not afraid to speak for America and not passively. One that does not shirk from the responsibility of governing. One that will not send our best and brightest to be sitting ducks and get killed when they may not have had to.
Mitt Romney is right and the now Worthless Leader, President Obama, is wrong.
Mr. Romney has been condemned by the usual suspects for actually speaking the truth to power when he made his remarks regarding, at the time, the pressing issue of the Islamist thugs storming the United States embassy gates in Cairo, taking down the American flag and replacing it with a black, Islamic flag.
