Round 2: FIGHT!
|
The media wanted a feistier Obama and the got it with the help of tonight’s
sham moderator of course. Whether you think Obama won or Romney depends on if
you think that Romney's ceding to the moderator’s erroneous claim that Obama
did declare Bengasi an act of terror, "if only you'd read the transcript" was the bigger deal or if Obama's stating he believes higher gas prices
were a sign of economic recovery was. For me it ought to be the latter rather
than the former as comments like this reveal a stunning cluelessness about how the
economy works. Once again Democrats prove their loyalty to the failed ideas of
John Maynard Keynes. High prices do not lead to shared prosperity. On that
note, please pay attention to an interesting phenomenon, when Romney leads in
the polls gas prices start to slip, when Obama does they start to go up again.
Might be coincidence, but then again Obama did say he felt electricity rates
should "necessarily skyrocket" under his plan so there you go...
