It's the liberal/drive-by/lamestream media's fault. It always is.

It's the liberal/drive-by/lamestream media's fault. It always is. They covered for President Obama's lapses in Benghazi, failed to hold him to account for his obvious failures, generally failed to vet him properly in 2008, and ignored the scandals during his first term. They tipped the scales. And in the last week, they covered his response to Hurricane Sandy as if he were a conquering hero. They hated Mitt Romney because they were jealous of his success. They ignored Chicago's relentless negative campaign.

Granted, Romney got hammered most of the summer - the media focusing on his gaffes and making him look like the doofus he is. But after that first debate, yes it was a game changer. For the media anyway. Suddenly scumney was cool, "presidential", decisive And they carried that on till present. Once they got their bang out of the 47%, no lies he said, no tax returns, nothing was brought up again.

The "liberal media" (which hasn't existed for decades) gave Romney the ultimate passes on everything.

on paying for the $5T tax cut and $2T increase to the military budget. But the slimy ReThugs are stuck in time still yapping about Benghazi. I guess they don't have anything more important ..to talk about....like Superstorm Sandy.
