Why I Was So Angry (With Thoughts On Patty Murray's Letter)

[renate]

21. I heard a woman on Ed Schultz's show saying she felt personally insulted by Obama's performance

She's been knocking on doors in her conservative Republican neighborhood, etc, and then he shows up at the debate that really should have ended Romney's candidacy for good and seems to not even be interested in the proceedings.

I see her point. In retrospect, it looks like Obama's decision to not bring up the 47% comment was absolute genius, because Romney must have been practicing his mea culpa in the mirror for weeks and didn't get to deliver it in front of a national audience. But letting so many other non-hot-button-but-purely-factual-things slide was not really wise, IMHO. And like you, "sorry, my bad" does not inspire me, either.

I really do hope/think that the President has gotten enough bad press from that debate that he will not let anything like that happen again--he's not a guy who is comfortable with the concept of failure. Now that he knows Romney's tactic of bald-faced "Who, me?" lying, he will call him on every piece of BS that drips out of his mouth.
