YOU-WE-WON!
Watch dog groups and the political press have calculated that despite the billions spent on obnoxious advertising, it had little or no affect on how we voted.
THE BIGGEST LOOSER

Chump #1 ---Sherman Adelson, the casino magnate who dumped millions including on Newt Gingrich. The New York Times reports he spent tens of millions on 8 candidates, all of whom lost.
THE BIGGEST JACK ASS
I'm surprised a New Yorker has not flattened this idiot's nose. His team of body guards are effective. His latest tirade, including calls for a "revolution" make him the number one candidate for western civilization's most egotistical fool.
He's a con man and hustler who NBC should drop after his latest temper tantrum. NBC Anchor Brian Williams made note of Trump's tweets on election night.
"Donald Trump, who has driven well past the last exit to relevance and peered into something closer to irresponsible here, is tweeting tonight"
Maybe the Peacock network could stage an ultimate fighting match between the two.
OPPOSITION RESEARCH
I offer these thoughts realizing they may provoke a firestorm of response as did yesterday's post.
MITT ROMNEY
He was a shape shifter. A true moderate by Massachusetts standards who posed as a conservative to win the Republican nomination. Then he tried to shift back to the center and may be the only candidate in modern history who can claim a 360 degree position on every issue.
PRESIDENT OBAMA
Insular, self confident, trash talking in hoops cocky, and smugly detached from those he disdains. Extraordinarily bright and professorial but his disdain for the kind of one on one salesmanship or "backslapping" helpful in the job has diminished his power. Think of his personal style vis a vis Reagan or Clinton.
He's a great speech maker and had an incredible political organization. Now he needs to demonstrate an adroit use of power to guide "the ship of state through the shoals." He needs to stretch himself.
A CLOSING TRIBUTE TO ALL THE GAMBLERS-
THE SLOT ROCK
Is there also a cache of one armed bandits?

A modern old west tale.
See you down the road.
I've read that Adelson lost 53 million on this election, but that's just a drop in the bucket for a guy who's worth nearly 20 billion. I don't think I share your opinion that Obama is arrogant and smug but your opinions of Trump and Romney are spot on. Take care.
ReplyDeleteRomney, Willing and Able: willing to do whatever it takes to win, but not able.
ReplyDeleteObama, Arrogant and Aloof: but so was FDR (not that he is otherwise comparable to FDR, though there is hope for change).
Aloof is a good word. I've qualified my characterization and it is now more specific and close to the tone of aloof.
