At times tonight I wondered if President Obama was trying to put a hoax on Governor Romney by the was he starred at him. My first thought ended up to last through the debate that President Obama, in an effort to be tougher as his spokes people said he would be, actually came out phoney, pathetic and small minded. Here are some other observations;
- It dawned on me when President Obama continuously repeating how he would get a consensus of “his” world partners and then act. This fits with his Collectivism/Socialism ideology. He believes that the World problems can be solved by “committee”. Any casual look at Congress will tell you that philosophy is not correct. Committees can come up with some suggested solutions, but it takes a LEADER to actually solve the problem.
- I agree with Charles Krauthammer that Governor Romney was correct in not “pounding” President Obama about Benghazi, Lydia. In fact, I believe he won the entire debate when he pointed out that the greatest threat to our National Security is our debt. The President really had no answer for that.
- The “small ball”, smug, demeaning attack on Mitt Romney in response to Mitt Romney giving the stats about the Navy, was as UN-Presidential as you can get. His, “the military doesn’t use horses or bayonets anymore” revealed is total disdain for the Governor. “By the way Mr. President, as a Marine, we still use bayonets.”
- I was angered with how the Governor was constantly interrupted by both the President and the moderator Bob Schieffer. In recent months I have heard a multitude of other people say the same thing. That is another reason the President lost tonight.
- There was nothing new with President Obama. All his words and phrases are from his stump speeches. Nothing new, no matter how convincing he said them. Several times he really didn’t answer the question. He went on and on about his “talking points”.
- Mitt Romney was articulate, to the point, and relaxed. He did not fall into any trap intended to get him into an argument or confrontation. The two times he refused to allow Bob Schieffer to shut him up was great and maintained his composure.
For the most part I agree with other observers that this debate was boring. I’m glade they are over.
