Only through the Romney-can't-possibly-beat-our-boy-king propaganda filter of the "news" media.
Mort supported Obama bigtime in 2008, but he’s been writing more than a few very negative OpEds since then.
Yes, we saw through Obama, but Mort, the sophisticated billionaire, was fooled.
Which makes one wonder.
Boy, I sure can't hear that enough.
Most people who supported Obama were making a mistake but you, Mort - you were one of the people who made a blunder, because you should have known better.
Thanks for the verification. I guess I need a refresher course in/on forgiveness, because I just do not have it in me as I read this to 'feel' much more than you are too late Mort in recriminations over a blight you help create.
Exactly. Zuckerman is a reasonably smart, wealthy guy who should have known better. I guess even smart people can let their emotions get away from them.
He’s been writing a number of mea culpas for more than a year now. This latest article is well-constructed and all of his arguments are sound.
The Romney campaign should probably cut and paste a lot of these arguments made by Zuckerman, many of which have been stated here on Free Republic since the beginning of Obama’s reign, and use them in commercials and future debate prep.
Zuckerman’s breakdown of employment statistics and economic data is particularly strong.
You’d think these rich guys would be smart but supporting a commie imbecile Kenyan is not a lapse of judgment but sheer stupidity. Let him write more of his articles to cover up for his hopeychangey embarrassment..
I have thought this over and over - why did I - an “ordinary” person in Portland, Oregon - figure out that zero is a sack of $hit before the election and we were in BIG trouble if he won and meanwhile all these supposed geniuses couldn’t figure out what was right in front of them?
Seems that for a lot of people success if a fluke.
when was the last time a democrat governed well??
clinton?? please, if he was sooo great why did he lose 52 seats in the house, 9 in the senate and 10 governorships??
Just look at detroit, california, nyc in 91, wisc before walker
the list is just endless and half he country votes for these #%&*@
I hope i never understand.
I heard a lot about the poised, well-spoken, likeable candidate back in 2008. I didn’t see that candidate, but the media told me all about him. The candidate I saw and who was elected was rather snobby, not all that bright, and spoke robotically.
In 2008, however, there wasn’t a real Republican challenger.
Now there is, and the true nature of the Democrat candidate is painfully obvious in comparison.
“Did not Mort support and vote FOR Obama 4 years ago?”
Of Course he did. Mort is a Democrat. He even describes his economic beliefs as Keynesian. But during the 2008 campaign The Transformer was preaching that he was going to “fundamentally transform America”. That scared the hell out of me at the time, because it’s as good a definition of radicalism that I can think of.
It seems him and his whole administration have wasted these past four years fixing that which was not broke, digging holes where we did not need holes.

During the GOP convention, Mark Halperin of TIME and John Heilemann of New York magazine predicted confidently -- promised would be a better word -- that Clint Eastwood's endorsement speech, which they had just watched, would not reach the public, that Romney's message and the GOP's reframing of his issues and attempts to cast his qualities in perspective would not reach the public without being sliced, diced, jumbled, and spun, so that the message could not get out.
They promised (no doubt peeved at Clint's performance, which Halperin derogated twice within 30 minutes on two different PBS shows) that the Romney message would not get out.
I believed them.
