Do you see what I see?
And do you hear what I hear?
Last night was the first presidential ‘debate’ of the
season. Almost immediately the pundits
were declaring it a ‘win’ for Mitt Romney, and telling us what we heard and
saw. And I was so surprised by what I
was told that I heard and saw.
Because I saw Mr. Romney constantly denying facts about his
plans and projections. I saw Mr. Romney being
either anxious or patronizing or interruptive, constantly interrupting the
moderator and/or Mr. Obama.
And I heard Mr. Obama stating, in his calm, articulate
manner, his plans for the future and drawing a clear contrast between his
convictions and those of Mr. Romney.
So here’s the thing. Regardless
of what the pundits say, I figure that most sentient adults have already made
their decisions, based on what they have observed, from what the candidates
have said and done, and what the candidates stand for. Staunch Republicans will vote for Mr. Romney,
or if they cannot in all good conscience do that, they will just not vote. Staunch Democrats will vote for Mr.
Obama. The so-called ‘undecideds’, who
have had vast amounts of direct, specific information about what the Obama
administration has done and wants to do for our country versus the nebulous and
constantly changing Romney ‘vision’, have had ample and sufficient chance to
decide. And if the infamous ’47 percent’
video alone was not sufficient for decision, well, then, what can one say?
