“In nowhere in the world is America’s influence greater today than it was four years ago.”
That was the allegation leveled bt Mitt Romney toward Obama last night in he was 100% correct.
It was clear that both candidates entered the debate with their own strategy.
For Obama, the strategy was to of goad Romney, debase Romney and try to lure Romney into being a pro war president.
For Romney, the strategy was to be presidential, diplomatic, knowledgeable, show that his administration would project strength at every turn on the world stage and turn the debate back to economic policy.
Obama left the debate frustrated that Romney would not take the bait, not be goaded in the directions Obama wanted and stood strong against Obama’s debasing tactics countering them with facts.
Romney left the debate having accomplished each and every one of his strategic goals.
Obama clearly had the edge in the number of “one liners” but, they were snarky, patronizing and intentionally meant to be belittling. Frankly, anything but presidential. Obama’s presentation of those one liners came across as frustrated and petty.
Romney dismissed them all with one simple line: “Attacking me is not an agenda.”
Without say it, that line summed up Obama’s entire campaign.
Regarding the foreign policy portions of the debate, Obama continually reduced his points to the smallest denominator.
I, me, me, me, I and on and “we killed bin Laden…
As we speed toward the November 6th election and even faster toward the next presidential debate, I believe there is but a single question which Mitt Romney could pose that would virtually bring the Obama campaign, not to mention his Canadian made bus…To a screeching halt.
In all the very appropriate outrage over the Supreme Court ruling on ObamaCare, another ruling made by the Supreme Court has gotten much less attention – except in military/Veteran circles. And we are disgusted. Not to mention furious. The Supreme Court ruled on the Stolen Valor Act, as well as ObamaCare.
GEEEEEZ…What a week.
Friends and Patriots,
When was the last time our American military won a war?
When you’re the Emperor, everything either is, or is not, what you say it is or isn’t. You and you alone get to decide what laws will and won’t be defended. You get to ignore court subpoenas. YOU get to decide when Congress is or isn’t in session. The Constitution is something which YOU can ignore and religious organizations with THEIR doctrines and beliefs?
