Glued to the
TV and in kidney lock by 10:30, this debate was more than I could have imagined
for my side. The only negatives I saw
were.....
Romney,
while doing yeoman’s work in slamming Obama last night, left three clubs
in his arsenal I would have preferred he use.
First, when
Obama said GM was roaring back, Romney should have said: I would say to ask the employees of the 800+
dealerships that you closed if they thought GM was roaring back.
Secondly,
when Obama mentioned the word ‘budget’, Romney should have been on that like
white on rice, asking why he had not signed a budget in his entire presidency.
But to me,
the biggest hammer he had but didn’t use was after Obama made his opening
statement about it’s not where we’ve been but where we’re going. Romney could have ended the debate in the
first five minutes by asking Obama: Why
do you need more time? The first two
years of your term YOU HAD BOTH HOUSES OF CONGRESS – YOU COULD HAVE DONE
ANYTHING! Romney came close when he said
Obama used his capital to pass healthcare rather than concentrating on jobs.
All in
all……. I’m one happy camper today! (And it doesn't hurt my mood that the liberals' hair is on fire.)
