Wow. I’m still processing this whole Libyan fiasco. It has gone so wonderfully wrong on so many different levels for 0bama.
1. He lied and lied and lied about the stupid video, and now he’s been caught;
2. The terrorists must be the most frustrated group in the world because they committed a direct attack on the United States, and got ignored. They will not be ignored. Not that it’s a good thing, but it’s just an observation.
3. The media tried to cover for 0bama, but deep down inside I wondered if they got tired of Axelrod’s constant hectoring and bullying. Yes, they are of the same ideological stripe, but even the battered wife will dump the loser husband eventually. I think the dam has cracked, it just might be breached here.
3. If 0bama planned all this as his “October surprise” it was the worst conceived, worst executed “October surprise” of all time. It probably cost him his job (and rightly so).
4. The GOP is sticking it to him and he is foundering on this issue.
5. Now he’s been stabbed in the back by Hilary. Sure, for her it might be a “poison pill” but her acceptance of responsibility was clearly not known in advance by 0bama and his staff, as they didn’t have a good response. What the heck, there IS no good response to it. And it’s not coincidence that Hilary chose to make the announcement in Peru, of all places.
Tonight will be huge; it really is the chance for Romney to land the knockout punch. 0bama is in a no-win position; either he hides behind Hilary’s skirt, or he takes responsibility and has to admit he lied to the American people. Either way he loses big time.
I have to basically agree with everything you say. I also believe that if Romney does well tonight he will sew it up but if he doesn’t he still has time to finish it. Obama can end his chances tonight with a bad showing but a good showing will only stop the bleeding.
Rush’s theory is that Hussein’s campaign had cooked up the whole video story immediately after the attacks happened. Hussein was aware of the plan, and that’s why he felt free to just be-bop out to Vegas, knowing that the issue had been “handled”. Big surprise to him when the SHTF anyhow.
