Actually, there are highschool kids who could have done the job, probably better since they pick up on the numbers parts with ease.
The fundamental problem is there's NO THERE "THERE" ~ Obama isn't just an empty suit ~ he takes showers and is articulate in front of a teleprompter.
Too many Republican "money men" who pay too little attention to what the President himself is like or what he does imagined that somehow Obama was 12 ft high, had the intellect of an Einstein, and was so totally beloved by most of the population the love drops would ooze off his forehead into the holy scarf given to him personally by the Pope, the Dalai Lama, Alexander Putin and the chief rabbi in Jerusalem itself.
They were all wrong ~ any bond salesman could easily hand Obama his head and that's what you saw. Romney knows a few debate tricks, and a few marketing tricks, and a few ways to get the family off his back, and he used them and Obama crumpled like a wet paper bag in a hurricane.
That'd happened up against Michelle Bachmann, Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich, Sarah Palin, me, lazmataz, Jim Rob, Congressman Billybob (passed on lo these many months he could have still laid to on this guy), and any of several hundred ~ maybe thousand ~ Freepers with more than a month's experience!
Don't get your hopes up with Romney though ~ he's still a RINO and doesn't have any real skin in the real game!
He is untested and from this perspective doesn't look all that different from Obama.
“Don’t get your hopes up with Romney though ~ he’s still a RINO and doesn’t have any real skin in the real game!”
Just what we need, a Debby Downer.
