Showing Original Post only (View all)Do you remember a prez candidate ever openly demeaning another prez? [View all]
My husband and I just saw the clip of Romney saying "Even Jimmy Carter would have called the OBL raid"
We each took it completely differently.
My immediate thought was that he was demeaning JC as being too ineffectual. Mocking him
as a person who makes bad decisions
My husband took it completely opposite...that he was using JC as an example of a dove, a preacher,
who does not believe in war or killing. Almost like a compliment.
I think I am right, just based on the sarcastic, disrespectful tone of his voice.
I don't remember another presidential candidate ever who has used that tone when describing a former
president, do you? Even when describing Bush, who started a fake war, with thousands upon
thousands dying. There is a certain level of respect that transcends most everything.
