THANK YOU Mitt Rmoney. Could we send this guy some flowers?

Of course my heart goes out to those killed in the line of duty and their families and friends.
I can not imagine going through something like that.

But I admit I was a bit worried initially about the campaign fallout.
Was this a game changer?
Now I'm embarrassed that I felt that way.
I really should have had more faith in our president and our secretary of state.

Hillary Clinton's remarks were awesome (and I rarely use that word).
The president's message a short time later was equally masterful.
And when he finished...when he finished...with his loyal secretary of state at his side...and they walked back into the White House...and he put his arm around her...WOW.
I tear up just remembering it.

So I want to give Mitt a big THANK YOU for his remarks.
I think he just handed the election to President Obama.
On a silver platter.
"Shoot now - aim later" - President Barack Obama on Rmoney's comments.
Perfect.

I was born in Alabama . . .

Grew up in Mississippi . . .

Now live in Louisiana . . .

It would be hard for me to choose which provides the most comic relief!

They are suitable to the occasion, I think.

No one with a reasonable streak could have applauded this performance. I think the drubbing he's taking from Republicans this time has gotten through to him that maybe he hasn't assembled a good team, he's assembled a crazy one.

I'm sure he canceled his event tonight because he's got the first serious thinking in his whole life to do.

If an event is very unlikely but would cause an enormous damage if happened, it's OK to be afraid.

I did not expect Mitt to implode so completely and so quickly

He ignores facts, is forever changing his story, denies all the written material on the ultimate goals of Mormonism, believes Christ is Lucifers brother, believes becoming the President will make him a God. Makes glib comments about the beliefs of his prophecies during his speeches, then denies the beliefs.Does not believe humans are capable of free choice. Omits that the Mormons were allies with Hitler and they are using Hitlers techniques now. Believe Joseph Smith is above Christ. Have false Golden idol on top of the temple. His life, beliefs, and even the temple itself is covered in secrecy. That is very few are allowed on top four floors of their temple. One floor has a replica of the oval office for when one becomes president and the prophecy of their New World Order comes true. I am an independent, Obama is still my best hope, he's noy a God, but he is as honest as one could ever hope for

God can go play in church. S/he needs to stay out of civic affairs.
