I have to admit that Mitt Romney isn’t my favorite candidate, but he
does have an advantage over many of his Republican rivals in that he’s
truly Mr. Clean.
Either Romney’s skeletons are so well buried that Democrats can’t find them, or he genuinely doesn’t have any shade in his past.
It’s nothing short of remarkable that the best the Obamanation camp
has been able to dig up on Romney is that he’s rich. Normally, complete
fabrications like the “war on women” and “he killed my wife by firing
me” would just be supplements in a sleazy Democratic campaign, but this
time, they’re the master plan, the best play Obama’s got.
One of the big drawbacks of Romney, however, is that he doesn’t have a
killer instinct. Fighting one of the dirtiest politicians of all time,
Romney is trying to be civil.
Unlike the false accusations that Romney killed Joe Soptic’s wife or
committed tax felonies, Obama is actually the head of an administration
whose contempt for the law has cost human lives here and abroad.
Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry found out the cost of working for
this outlaw administration when he was shot to death by a Mexican drug
smuggler using a U.S. firearm obtained from the Department of Justice
under AG Eric Holder.
The Fast and Furious program that gave guns to drug runners helped
turn the border and much of Mexico into even more of a war zone than it
was. A high-level drug trafficker in U.S. custody has alleged that the
Obama Administration made a deal with the Sinaloa Cartel to provide it
with weapons in exchange for intel on other drug cartels.
This past week, two more U.S. agents riding in an armored U.S.
Embassy car were wounded on the road to Cuernavaca when gunmen in a
Mexican federal police vehicle opened fire. The White House has said the
agents were not DEA or FBI, but it has not acknowledged which agency
was involved. The Mexican government denies involvement.
Obama’s failure to deliver on his economic promises can be raised
here as well. If the Democratic Party would have us believe Romney is
responsible for someone’s death because her husband was laid off, then
what should we think about a president who has allowed rampant
unemployment that results in a man’s firing and leads to a mass
shooting?
Jeffrey Johnson, who had been fired a year earlier, on Friday stalked
and killed his boss on a Manhattan street, then turned his gun on
police. Johnson was killed and eight bystanders were injured in the
ensuing gun battle.
How many other cases of violence across this country have resulted
from joblessness? If Democrats think it’s a fair question to ask of
Romney, then it’s a fair question to ask of Obama.
More clear cut is the damage Obama has caused in the Middle East. The
“Arab Spring” that the president supported and touted as the rise of
democracy has turned into a roving bloodbath that has as its main
purpose the installation of the Muslim Brotherhood in the halls of
power.
According to the Jerusalem Post, Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi
has been moving swiftly to consolidate his power, and he has massed
military units in the Sinai, near the Israeli border.
In Syria, the Brotherhood, with back-door U.S. aid, has been fighting
the government’s forces, which are backed in turn by Iran and the
Soviet Union. With neighboring NATO member Turkey already on alert, the
possibility of the Syrian conflict growing is looming over the area’s
politics at a time when Iran is growing more belligerent about its
nuclear program and Morsi is sending ambassadors to Tehran.
Even withdrawing from Iraq and Afghanistan is proving to be a
potentially costly mistake as the Iraqi government has made overtures of
alliance to Iran, and Afghanis are turning against the reduced number
of U.S. troops.
But the media will never connect any of these issues to Obama’s
failed policies. Romney needs to step up his game and really start
playing to win. There are plenty of voters who have yet to take a hard
look at Obama, and it’s up to Romney to make sure they do.
