The best question at the second presidential debate came
from Michael Jones, an African-American who said: "Mr. President, I voted
for you in 2008. What have you done or accomplished to earn my vote in 2012?
I'm not that optimistic, as I was in 2008. Most things I need for everyday
living are very expensive."
To which Obama
said: "Are you my half-brother?"
Actually, all
Obama could say was that he had ended the war in Iraq (while pointlessly escalating
the war in Afghanistan) and that Osama bin Laden is dead (and so is our
ambassador). Both of which must be a great comfort to Mr. Jones as he tries to
pay his bills every month.
Jones was right:
Since Obama has been president, everything you own -- your home, pension,
savings accounts, weekly paychecks -- are all worth less.
Meanwhile,
everything you need -- gas, food, and anything else that requires fuel to be
transported to you -- costs more.
Obama can't talk
his way out of his record. As Romney said in response to the president's
allegation that he is gung-ho about drilling for oil to lower fuel prices:
"But that's not what you've done in the last four years. That's the
problem."
Obama also
suddenly announced: "I'm all for pipelines. I'm all for oil
production." But he vetoed the Keystone pipeline.
He explained that
the price of gasoline was $1.80 when he took office because the economy was in
the toilet. Apparently, prices have spiked to more than $4 a gallon because all
Americans are back at work now and making big bucks!
Obama said the
"most important thing we can do is to make sure that we are creating jobs
in this country."
So now he's going
to create jobs? Because, nearly four years into his presidency, 23 million
Americans are out of work and more than half of recent college graduates can't
find a job.
He claimed to
believe that we should reward "self-reliance," "individual
initiative" and "risk-takers." And yet, a few months ago, he
ridiculed these self-reliant risk-takers for thinking they were "just so
smart," sneering "if you've got a business, you didn't build that.
Somebody else made that happen."
Obama said we have to be "serious about reducing the
deficit," calling it "a moral obligation to the next
generation." But he's increased the deficit by $5 trillion -- more in four
years than President Bush did in eight.
He also said he
supported cutting corporate taxes. But only in odd-numbered years that don't
start with "2."
The media will lie
and say Obama won the debate -- he has stopped the bleeding, he's drawing huge
crowds, the momentum is back! But as Romney said in response to many of Obama's
promises Tuesday night, "I don't think the American people believe
that."
The trend is set
and Obama's voters are moving away from him in droves. People can see that
Obama has to go to college campuses, the David Letterman show and "The
Daily Show" to get a friendly audience these days. Even Lindsay Lohan is
for Romney.
The media's
campaigning for Obama isn't fooling Americans; it's just making Obama's
obtuseness worse. If you're behind at halftime, you don't go to the
cheerleading squad to ask what you're doing wrong.
Absolutely nothing! You're perfect! Don't change anything!
But we're behind
by 7 points ...
You're great! You're the best team ever!
With Obama unable
to compete in a fair fight, debate moderator Candy Crowley had to become
Obama's wingman, injecting herself into the debate by declaring Obama the
winner on the question of whether he had called the Benghazi attack an act of
terror the day after the attack. Only after the debate, when everyone had gone
home, did Crowley admit that Romney was right on Libya.
(If Obama called
the Benghazi attack an "act of terror" in his Rose Garden speech,
then he also said the victims of that attack were buried in the "hallowed
grounds of Arlington Cemetery" and that he had visited them at Walter Reed
-- other comments in that speech not specifically referring to the Benghazi
attack.)
Crowley stopped
Romney from talking about Fast and Furious on the grounds that it had nothing
to do with guns. She didn't take a single question on Obamacare -- the
universally loathed monstrosity that fueled the 2010 Republican landslide and
continues to be a thorn in America's side.
In the media room,
journalists cheered Obama's cheap shot about Romney being rich, according to
The Washington Times. Say, who did the Democrats run for president right before
Obama? That would be the richest man in the U.S. Senate, John Kerry. But
liberals believe Kerry acquired his fortune more honestly than by building
businesses and creating jobs. He married a rich woman.
For all the media
cheerleading, millions of Americans still know they're out of work. They know,
as Michael Jones noted, that everything is more expensive, including even-handed
moderators.
