Yup, after all the interruptions and non sequiturs of the debate last night (and, for that matter, the prior debates), it still comes down to James Carville's pithy quote "It's the economy, stupid."
Personally, I don't like the use of name calling, but, the quote does fit the times once again. As does the quote "Are you better off today than you were four years ago?" I know the answer for me is a resounding NO.
So, why would anyone consider giving President Obama another 4 years in office when he has failed so abysmally over the past 4 years?
He said he would cut the deficit in half - instead he almost doubled it.
He said unemployment would be in the 5% range. Not even close (and don't get me started on the folks not counted by the BLS - those who are underemployed and those who have stopped looking for work).
Almost 50 million Americans are on some form of public assistance.
Trials of detainees have barely begun.
No resolution to the illegal immigration problem.
Take home pay is steadily falling for middle class Americans.
Wake up America - this emperor (presidential fiats, anyone?) has no new clothes and never did. He certainly has no new clothes now.
And don't buy into the constant whining about what he inherited. He knew what he was going to get when he ran in 2008 and he told us he could fix it in four years. He hasn't. When a CEO doesn't turn a company around, it's time to put in place a new CEO and save the company, in this case, the country, before it is too late.
Vote out Obama.
Don't vote for Obama.
Vote for Romney and let's fix the country.
And just to clear up a few of the President's mistakes last night:
The Marines and the Army still use bayonets.
While horses still serve in the Army, I could find no mention of Naval horses or even sea horses.
The US had submarines during WWI.
