Nothing here that hasn't been said many times before, by Freepers more than (and before) anyone else, but Bill McGurn is an elegant writer, publishing in the most popular newspaper in America, so this one's gonna hurt. This article, I predict, will be remembered.

With Obama, there's no there there. He's empty; just a narcissistic phoney.

That’s why the big circle icon he uses is best described as a Zer0.

Of his opponent Walter Mondale, Reagan famously said that he wouldn't try to score political points by exploiting his opponent's youth and inexperience.

what a lot of people forget is, Reagan's team released that quip before the debate...we all knew it was coming, just didn't know when.

“Benghazi Hil” made a shrewd move today. The shiv gets administered by Willie. Is this the first thrust?

Wizard of the teleprompter maybe.... That’s about it.

1. That which has been seen cannot be unseen.

2. Wizard? He certainly has a totally conjured past, but he is not the one who did that.

Yep, been saying for a week now. The Great and Terrible Oz is revealed to be merely "the little man behind the curtain."

Some 67 million Americans were watching on TV. What they saw was the scene from the Wizard of Oz, when Dorothy's dog pulls back the curtain to reveal there is no wizard at all, just a man from the Midwest who pumped himself up into something far beyond his mortal self—and got the whole of Oz to believe it.

Wow. That's going to leave a mark!

How can someone be elected state senator, then U.S. senator, then president? Then have all his records sealed so no one can see just how few things he’s accomplished? By having a big power behind him. And that power controls him.

I now understand why the GOP selected Romney. He’s as clean as a whistle so he can’t be blackmailed. And he’s too rich to be bought.

Reagan had a wonderful sense of humor. Obama is pretty much humorless—his idea is of humor to taunt and demean people who get in his way, to humiliate them if he can. Occasionally he does a bit of self-deprecation but of a very gentle sort.

It won’t be over until its over. 0bama is completely capable of BS’ing more low information voters back to his side tomorrow night. He’s more charismatic than Romney and can get to the emotions of many dimwits. Nobody connects to Romney in that way. If Romney wins, we will be crying tears of joy that 0bama is gone. I doubt any of us will be crying tears of joy that Romney will be the next president.

Good stuff in this article, Romney can use the “oceans” quote if o’bidens starts talking 47%:

Mostly this image was the making of his own immodesty, starting the night he clinched the 2008 Democratic nomination. Mr. Obama might have simply declared victory and congratulated Hillary Clinton on a valiant fight. Instead it became the backdrop for one of his more infamous egoisms. History, he said, would look back at his victory as the moment “the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal.”

This was no aberration. A man who interviewed for a job on the campaign was told by Mr. Obama: “I think that I’m a better speechwriter than my speechwriters. I know more about policies on any particular issue than my policy directors. And I’ll tell you right now that I’m gonna think I’m a better political director than my political director.”

Everything about his campaign fed that idea. The Styrofoam Greek columns at the Democratic convention when he was nominated. The faux presidential seal with its own Latin motto. And before the campaign, the two books he authored about—himself.

The press, far from exhibiting any skepticism about this immodesty, bowed before it. Leave aside the NBC reporter who conceded it was hard to remain objective in the face of all the “infectious” energy emanating from Mr. Obama’s quest for the White House. Or the New York Times commentator who knew Mr. Obama was meant to be president by the crease in his pants leg. Or the historian who told radio host Don Imus that Mr. Obama’s IQ was “off the charts”—but when asked what it was could only answer that he was probably “the smartest guy ever to become president.”

I hope Romney laughs at obama’s comments a couple of times. Not many, but just to drive home that nobody takes obama seriously.
