That was it?? A weak string of lies, distortions, half-truths, and homilies?

. . . and he's done?

He's going to get ripped for the bull in that speech. It was just so soft, bland, and unremarkable that I doubt there will be anything remembered past his lies.

a few? Small business taxes for the vast majority have been cut by this president and will get tax breaks in the budget plan that he presented. Middle class Americans have NOT seen their taxes go up under this administration; just the opposite . . .

He ripped Obama for that '$716 billion cut' that his running mate voted for and praised.

President Obama made an 'apology' tour?? Debunked. Debunked . .

What a disgrace.

1. It doesn't matter. Nothing matters except the acquisition of power. Even their voters agree that the

main thing is to do as little as possible. They do not care what their candidates do or do not say or do.

2. He is just following the script. It quite literally is a theatrical campaign.

I guess that's better than having to get any further into his taxes?

3. he certainly didn't offer enough to distract from anything like his taxes

. . . or his company bankrupting, job-killing tenure at Bain.

4. No, he didn't. I don't see how he deflects through the next several weeks.

btw, just saw on my FB feed: "I've been a Republican my whole life. I cannot vote for Romney."

5. They're beginning to guess what the consequences of financial de-regulation have wrought. Mitt,

should he become president, will not be the one making decisions about America.

Obama's going to have just so much latitude too, but at least he will not proceed on the basic premise of enslaving American workers.
