Mitt Romney’s latest follies in the realm of presidential
politics are as good as it gets! Now Romney
is trying to ‘EXPLAIN AWAY’ his “let Detroit go bankrupt” statement. Mitt’s
explanation is that the President facilitated the auto industry’s “bankruptcy”
with the use of government funds. Last
time I heard, Romney is a self-proclaimed financial whiz. So, how come Mitt DOESN”T know that digging the
auto industry out of the hole with “bankruptcy” would have required PRIVATE
SECTOR FUNDING when NO private sector source – including Romney AND his wealthy
Super Pac posse - were willing to contribute
one dime towards saving the auto industry? If Romney can’t even understand the basic
fiscal principles of “bankruptcy”, how in the world can he be expected to
understand the massive amount of fiscal principles required to run an entire
nation?
Secondly, when Romney trashed former President Jimmy Carter with
his arrogant and flippant “even Jimmy Carter would have made the call” insult,
what was he thinking? President Obama has, already, proven how well he can handle
the commander in chief role in more ways than one, and former President Carter exhibited
more presidential guts , integrity and
leadership in his pinky than Romney has in ALL of the strands of his perfectly peppered
coiffure.
According to an article at www.whitehouseddiarybook.com President Jimmy Carter ‘s successes in office included “the Israel-Egypt
peace treaty, the Panama Canal treaties, establishing full diplomatic relations
with China and a strong advocacy of human rights – making it a continuing
principle of American foreign policy. He also greatly increased the number of
women and minorities in federal jobs and judgeships and won passage of the
Alaska Lands Conservation Act, the largest conservation action ever. And as the
FIRST president from the Deep South since the Civil War, he helped to heal the
wounds of racial discrimination and division.”
Since Romney’s only, PUBLICLY, ‘proclaimed claims’ towards leadership fame are about his “cutting”
days at Bain Capital and “turning around”
the 2002 Olympic Games, while he 1)
didn’t have the guts to push back Tea
Partied fanatics who forced him to fire his gay campaign administrator, 2)
didn’t have the guts to tell Tea Partied
fanatics to stop booing an active duty gay
soldier during a presidential primary
debate, 3) was for the “right to choose” before he was against the “right to
choose”, 4) was “for affordable health care” before he was against” affordable health” and so on and so forth, I guess the ONLY topics left for Romney to campaign on are trashing current and former
presidents, and taking credit where NO credit is due!
Can you imagine what it would have been like if Romney was in
the driver’s seat during military strategy sessions surrounding the elimination
of Bin Laden? Here’s how it would have gone down:
INTELLIGENCE OFFICIAL: “Mr. President, should we go with a surgical
strike or a precision military bombing?”
ROMNEY: “Well,
yesterday I was all for a surgical strike, but today, I’m leaning towards a bombing. Let me sleep on it. I may, very well , go back to the surgical
strike idea tomorrow.
INTELLIGENCE OFFICIAL: “But Mr. President, the clock is
ticking, we are at the mercy of the weather situation in Pakistan, our window
of opportunity is very slim. We need an
answer right away.”
ROMNEY: “You know – this reminds me of the tough decisions I
had to make when I saved the 2002 Olympics. Those were the days!
INTELLIGENCE OFFICIAL: “I agree Mr. President, but what
about dealing with Bin Laden?”
ROMNEY: “I guess
we’ll go with the surgical strike, but only if we strike with shot puts and javelins.”
INTELLIGENCE OFFICIAL: “Shot puts and javelins, Mr.
President?”
ROMNEY: “Of course.
Those were my favorite events at the 2002 Olympics, you got any better ideas?”
INTELLIGENCE OFFICIAL: “With all due respect, Mr.
President, I was thinking that we should use silencers and more discreet
weaponry. After all, we don’t want to arouse any of Bin
Laden’s Pakistani neighbors or military during the raid.”
ROMNEY: “If we arouse them, fire them. I like having to fire
people!”
INTELLIGENCE OFFICIAL:
“If you insist, Mr. President. Before I go, how would you like us to transport
the attack dog?”
ROMNEY: “Thanks for reminding me. Just give the dog a bowl
of water and tie him to the tail of the helicopter!”
You can, actually, view the real
deal regarding the tough decisions surrounding the Bin Laden raid by watching the ABC
television network’s documentary entitled “Minute-by minute: The operation to
get bin Laden” at http://watchdocumentary.com/watch/kill-shot-the-story-behind-bin-ladens-death-video_3ba1c5fd9.html
