Obama, unfortunately, is a compelling orator who has a gift for speaking style over substance. All demagogic leaders have had it...Castro, Hitler, Mussolini, Hughy Long et al. Too much has been made by his critics of the teleprompter. He can off-the cuff-it, uses satire, humor, inflection, pose and get a crowd going. Mitt does not have this gift that Obama apparently knows that he has. He will win because history shows us that people, regardless of time and place, always fall for the man who captures their attention with gesture and oratory. Unfortunately.
LOL, he's a moron. But he is a black moron promising to give other peoples moeny to the 50% of Americans who pay no federal taxes. So he gets their vote in the polls. Luckily, not all the gimmee guys and girls vote or conservatives would never win a national election and that's the damn truth. Forget the crap about if only we had a hard right conservative as our nominee he would be smashing Obama in the polls. The truth of the matter is that America has crossed the Rubicon and the slide into European socialism and thus bankruptcy and eventually riots in the streets is assured.
Romney can and may win this race but it won't change anything because there are no politicians with the balls to tell the takers that the taking days are over. I hate to be the bearer of ill tidings but the numbers don't lie. Half of Americans don't pay for the services they get. And they like it that way.
Con Artists have that “gift” you speak of.
However, most people only fall for the con artists ONE TIME!
“He can off-the-cuff it....”
I guess you didn’t hear about those remarks he made in Virginia on Friday the 13th where he told all small business owners “you didn’t build that!” Yeah, he really “has a gift” that Mitt doesn’t have. LOL.
