The Tragedy Is That Even Mitt Romney Doesn’t Know What He Believes
When the only apparent consistency in your presidential campaign is the constant, well-documented misrepresentation of facts, you've got a problem.
Mitt Romney is shrinking. Over the course of this campaign, he has grown smaller.
He and his advisers should have realized by now that you cannot win the presidency either by ducking all substantive questions or by merely flinging daily petty insults based on words taken out of context.
The latest silliness from Romney World is the effort to diminish President Obama by claiming that when he characterized the upheavals and disruptions in the Arab world as "bumps in the road," the president was minimizing the horror of Ambassador Christopher Stevens’ murder in Benghazi, Libya. The president was doing no such thing. He was delicately observing that no revolution or dramatic political change runs in a straight line. There are gains and setbacks but, one hopes, forward progress in the long run toward peaceful democracies. President Obama's speech Tuesday at the United Nations eloquently addressed that very topic. He spoke to high-minded principles and the delicacy of diplomacy all at once.
Romney, on the other hand, has continued to respond with baseless critiques that would be feeble and misleading even in a high-school debate.
