- To the informed and intelligent mind, watching last night's debate on foreign policy was a profoundly depressing experience.
- It featured a man who has been president of the US for four years focusing not on what he had done in the past four year and planned to do in the next four years to make the American people safer and the world more peaceful but rather desperately attacking his opponent with misrepresentations of what his opponent had said under different conditions years ago and with boldfaced lies about what said opponent might do if he were the one in power.
- In addition to running away from his own dreadful record in power and falsifying his opponent's past statements and records, the president spent the 90 minute event glaring and glowering at his opponent in a way reminscent of Al Capone in the movie "Scarface" and also playing smallball with stupid and petty interjections and asides that diminished the presidency and diminished him (if he can be any further diminished).
- So it was Obama engaged in classic Chicago-style politics characterized by thuggish behaviour, lies and misrepresentations, lightweight pettyness and sloganeering for the moron crowd and, attacking your opponent visciously because you can't possibly defend your own record.
- Meanwhile, Romney remained presidential and took the high road and tried between BO's interruptions and diversions to talk about the larger and more significant global issues and trends and what America should do in response to these issues and in order to effectively influence these trends.
- Obama certainly won with the vacuous and uninformed left lib crowd and Romney won with the better educated and informed conservative crowd.
- Who won with the undecideds, the independents and the disenchanted is too tough to call regarding this third debate and there is unlikely to be much impact from the debate on the polls in any case.
- But to get back to the Dissembler-In-Chief Barack Obama, here are his10 most objectionable lies and misrepresentations from last night`s foreign policy debate.
10. BO lied that he had never intended to leave several thousand troops in Iraq when, in fact, he put Smirkin Joe Biden in charge of the mission of achieving a status of forces agreement with the Iraqis that would have kept a minimum of 5,000 and most likely more than 10,000 troops there just as in Germany, South Korea, Japan and everywhere else after the US has fought a war and wanted to secure its strategic gains from that war.
9. BO lied that Romney said or wrote that he did not care about the American auto industry (since his beloved father ran a car company, this is surely a bizarre allegation even for the morons who drink the Obama koolaide) and would not provide government loans or other financial safeguards if these were needed after Chrysler and GM emerged from managed bankruptcies Romney`s column in the New York Times at that time says that he would have done so.
8. BO lied that the US is stronger and more respected in the Middle East and elsewhere than it was four years ago. In fact, the US is signifcantly weaker economically, financially and militarily than it was four years ago, is less respected by credible world leaders who see this president as weak and inept and vacillating and who value strong, resolute and capable leaders, and is less respected among the people of the Middle East in almost every country there according to a scientific opinion poll taken just weeks ago.
7. BO lied that he did not embark upon an apology tour in the Middle East early in his presidency, a tour in which he had nothing but praise for the repressive ME dictatorships while he criticized his own country for being arrogant, insensitive, dismissive and dictatorial with other countries. Romney scored some of his best lines here including ``we don`t dictate to but we do liberate other countries``.
6. BO trotted out the serial lie he and his acolytes have used throughout the campaign about how Romney`s plan to cut the deficit doesn`t add up because it includes a 20% tax cut and military spending increases that add 7 trillion dollars to the deficit. What this thuggish liar doesn`t tell his worshipful flock of morons is that 1. Romney`s plan to grow the econmomy and add 12 million net new jobs in the next four years will add far more than 7 trillion in new revenues to the federal coffers as people start working and paying taxes again, 2. The 20% cut in tax rates will be largely offset by eliminating loopholes and exemptions in the current tax system that tend to benefit the rich while distorting the system and resulting in much too much time and legal and accounting fees devoted to beating the system. 3. The 7 trillion dollars that BO keeps referencing is actually 7 trillion dollars over ten years and easily compensated for through the economic and employment growth envisaged in the Romney plan plus the plan`s intention to cut the federal bureaucracy by 10% through attrition, to cancel programs that are there as empire building excercises instead of public goods and, to transfer some progams to the states when efficiencies disctate. Romney`s plan has been reviewed and endorsed by reputable economists.
5. BO lied about his own so called plan to pay down the deficit which he in 2008 promised to reduce by 50% in his first term and instead increased by 50% in his first term. According to BO, asking the very rich to pay a little more and the savings from the two wars he has ènded`will get the job done. What he fails to tell the morons is that his taxing the rich more gambit is nothing more than class warfare for political purposes because the additional revenue this raises will - AT THE VERY MOST - provide the government with 8 days a year of operations and that the so called savings from the two wars are not just inflated but non-existent in the sense that this was all borrowed money.
4. BO lied about the sequestration at the end of the year that will cut some one trillion dollars from the defence budget, a cut thaqt his own Secretary of Defence states will be a catastrophy for the military, when he stated that this sequestration will never happen. In fact, he no longer has any control of this and it will happen if congress allows it to happen.
3. BO``s embarrassing smallball for small minds, so unworthy of any president until the Chicago gang got in, reached its zenith when the moderator asked a question about Iran`s trade with China in persuit of a nuclear capability and Obama interjected that Romney couldn`t answer this question because he had invested in some Chinese company that does business with Iran. Only the morons were impressed by this since it has nothing to do with the big question asked by the moderator and since Romney hasn`t personally invested in any company in over a decade and has his assets in a blind trust invested by an arm`s length professional investor and since Romney gave the only knowlegeable and concrete answer of the evening about cracking down on China`s cheating.
2. BO`s lies about supporting the Green Revolution in Iran are too obvious and odious to require elaboration here.
1. In his monumental arrogance (or maybe his reflex action which is to lie) BO even lied about Romney`s sterling record as governor of Massachusetts (hey, if BO had a record this examplary he`d be able to talk about it instead of attacking the other guy). He falsely claimed that the Massachusetts scholarship plan under which the top one quarter of high school graduates by marks receive free tuition until graduation to any Massachusetts institution of higher learning was introduced before Romney became governor when, in fact, it was introduced by Romney as governor.
Please add to this list the other Obama lies, misrepresentations and errors of fact I have missed.
