Romney to Obama: What About Your Gaaaffes?
Good appearance -- a little bit of fire -- from Romney, questioning Obama's curious new excuse that he just can't change things "on the inside."
"Isn't that amazing?" Romney asks rhetorically. (Incidentally, Romney sounds good, at least to me, in using this sort of phrasing, which strikes me as old-fashioned, but appealingly so. It's deployed with sarcasm to give it that new-fangled feel.)
Meanwhile, Governor Rick Perry joins those with messages for Obama written on their hands.
If you check Drudge's headline--
FIRST SERIOUS INTERVIEW:
PRESSED ON FAILURES BY UNIVISION
you'll see it's calculated to embarrass the media. Will it? I have this weird hopeful streak that they cannot look themselves in the mirror being such godawful shills, and yet they're okay with it, aren't they?
We see what happens when Obama's asked some difficult questions: He screws up. The reason we don't see this often is not that he is a cognitive high evolutionary; it's because he's never asked difficult questions. Questions about wedge issues. With follow-ups. With contradictions.
When he is asked these -- which, fortunately for him, he never is -- he stumbles like, what was that phrase I heard one time?, a Stuttering Clusterf**k of a Miserable Failure.
The press is big on gaaaaffes when it comes to Romney. Hey, maybe ask the Bumbleflop Incompetent in the Oval Office a tough question from time to time and check out the pure failure that comes tumbling out of his mouth, huh?
