In the first debate, I think we can all agree that Mitt Romney won. The President just didn’t show up. In the second debate, President Obama returned to the stage and dominated the debate, clearly winning and shaking Mitt Romney to his core. And now, in the third debate, probably because he was still shaken from the second debate, Mitt Romney chose to agree with practically everything President Obama said tonight.
Mitt Romney offered a ringing endorsement of the President.
Romney agreed with President Obama’s decision to go into Pakistan to get Bin Laden. His previous position was saying there’s no need to “move Heaven and earth” to get Bin Laden.
Romney also decided to change his position and agree to the 2014 deadline to bring our troops home from Afghanistan. Previously, it was understood that Romney wanted to base his decision on the recommendation of the Generals in the field. Now, that’s changed.
And where the auto bailout is concerned, Mitt Romney simply lied, trying to fool the American people into believing that he wanted the government to finance the bailout. He actually said he wanted the government to step up and bailout the industry after they went through a structured bankruptcy. Of course we all know that what Mitt Romney said in his infamous op-ed, was “Let Detroit Go Bankrupt.”
And teachers? According to tonight’s debate version of Mitt Romney, he “loves teachers,” he actually said that. But just this year, Mitt Romney stood in Wisconsin and mocked the President’s wish to hire more teachers, saying;
“He wants another stimulus, he wants to hire more government workers. He says we need more firemen, more policemen, more teachers. Did he not get the message of Wisconsin? The American people did. It’s time for us to cut back on government and help the American people.”
On and on Mitt Romney went, abandoning his previous positions and accepting the President’s positions on the issues. Mitt Romney accepted the president’s policy on drones, he accepted President Obama’s policies on Syria and he agreed with the President on the crippling sanctions in Iran.
So thanks to Mitt Romney and his apparent lack of ideas on the issues, we leave this final Presidential debate knowing that what the President has done so far is correct, and that Mitt Romney has no different plans to do things differently. And for that reason, among others, I solidify my vote for President Obama in November instead of trying an amateur with no ideas.
Even President Obama saw Romney’s lack of ideas;
“What you heard Romney say is he doesn’t have different ideas.” President Obama #p2 #tcot #gop #romneyFail #romney #obama
