Mitt
Romney, the boss from hell, showed up again last night, but this
time when he tried to lie, push and slam his way through the
question he got knocked on his ass by The President.
“And
the suggestion that anybody in my team, whether the Secretary of
State, our U.N. Ambassador, anybody on my team would play politics or
mislead when we’ve lost four of our own, governor, is offensive.
That’s not what we do. That’s not what I do as president, that’s
not what I do as Commander in Chief”-Barack Obama to Mitt Romney
If
looks could kill, Mitt Romney would have been vaporized by the look
in Barack Obama's eyes, at that moment. Candy Crowley would have had
to call for the broom in order to sweep up the smoking pile of shit
on the carpet where Willard once stood. End of election. End of
discussion. It was over at that point.
All
Mitt could do was stutter and badly after that exchange. Make no
mistake about it, if you didn't know who is the Commander in Chief of
the United States of America, you do now.
Romney
blinked. He showed that he is not used to being challenged. What he is, is
an excellent salesmen with no people skills in evidence. After more
than a decade of running for president this man still has not figured
out how to relate to people. It was obvious that he does not
consider Barack Obama, nor anyone else for that matter, to be his
equal in life and that is his Achilles heel. In Mitt-world, nobody is equal except his boys, his sons and the men of his church.
There
is a difference between serving the people and ruling the people.
Real presidents understand that. CEO's never do. They lord it over
their employees and delegate others to do the grunt work. It's not
easy governing from the oval office. Sitting in the oval office
requires the man to govern for all of the people, not just the 53%
with same size bank accounts.
Prior
to the debate, all the pundits wondered which Mitt would show up.
The guy who walked onto that stage was the bully who led the attack
on the gay kid in high school by cutting his hair. We saw the guy
who ran away from the Vietnam War to Paris, while taking part in
“support the war” demonstrations full of other young cowardly
rich boys who used Daddy's means and power to dodge the draft. We
saw the guy who has a fantasy island view about foreign policy.
We
heard from the guy who delegated the chore of wooing women in this
campaign to his wife, someone as haughty in a Marie Antoinette kind
of way, as himself. The “binders full of
women” comment felt like another blatant lie given his reticence
to talk directly to women.
In
another caught on tape moment from earlier in the day, we now know that the Mittens has
canceled his appearance on The View, tomorrow because he fears
talking to the ladies, especially Whoopi Goldberg. During the debate
he barely acknowledged the needs of women for equal pay, equal health
care and family planning care.
The
looks on his face showed he wasn't too thrilled with the very female
Candy Crowley doing instant fact checks either. He bull rushed her
too, just like he did The President, but she refused to back up,
doing her job of wrangling the two men as she was supposed to do.
For the third straight debate, Blacks, lesbians and gays were not in evidence, not even in the audience.
However, despite
what the right wing nutcase pundits will say in coming days, the election is over.
There is still one more debate to sit through. But essentially, this
election is over.
Mitt
will have to wait another four years to “take back his
compa-er-country.”
Vote
responsibly between now and November 6th.
