If McSame were all that serious about cutting government waste, he should have proved it by putting Barry balls-to-the-wall during the closing months of the campaign.
He had his shot; MANY, actually, leading up to the Election; and he choked EVERY single time. He never could muster the fire required to let loose with a K.O. punch; just a few ‘showtime’ jabs here and there to prove he could deliver a stinging one-liner if he wanted to. But he never went at it with the kind of zeal that would lead Americans to believe he REALLY was serious about defeating Obama. If anything, after the Palin selection, he found himself forced to ratchet up his own act just to keep us all mindful of who was heading the ticket.
Reminded me of an old office cartoon showing a suit-and-tie executive type chasing a crowd of office employees; the caption read “I must hasten after then for I am their leader.”
THAT was the overal characterization of the McSame campaign, from beginning to end, almost without exception.
I should say that I had a consulting partner who had a cap that said something similar... he was very proud of it because he had worked very hard to recruit a team with a great deal of drive and initiative.
