'Say it wasn't you'

Did you watch the debate last night? Was anyone as confused as I was about the fact that there seemed to be two democratic candidates on stage? There was Mitt Romney, Republican wolf in Democratic clothing, disgused as Grandma waiting for his prey. And then there was poor, unsuspecting Little Red Riding Hood Obama, happily trudging up to Grandma's house for a nice afternoon visit. No wonder he got pounced! Obama was prepared to fight against the platform that Romney has been running on for the last year, but instead he was hoodwinked (and borderline eaten alive) by a very suave, disguised Romney. When did Romney change all of his platforms? Romney does NOT plan to cut taxes for the wealthy? Huh? He's never heard of incentives being given to companies going over seas? What? He all of a sudden thinks that the money Obama allocated to green energy should have gone to... wait for it... hiring more teachers!? Hello!? This is not what he's been saying up to this point! So what's a poor Obama to do? He tried to agrue against Romney, and Romney just kept saying 'nope- you got it all wrong'. Kinda made Obama look like a dope, when in the end, it was Romney who was singing a different tune. It's hard to argue facts when facts are ever changing. Perhaps Romney got a last minute coaching session from Shaggy--- when the shit hits the fan, 'Say it wasn't you'... Link to Shaggy's "IT WASN'T ME"

Obama at a rally today in Denver:

Now, last night, we had our first debate. And when I got on stage, I met a very spirited fellow who claimed to be Mitt Romney. But it couldn't have been Mitt Romney -- because the real Mitt Romney has been running around the country for the last year promising $5 trillion in tax cuts that favor the wealthy. But the fellow on stage last night said he didn't know anything about that... You see, the man on stage last night – he doesn't want to be held accountable for what the real Mitt Romney's been saying for the last year. And that's because he knows full well that we don't want what he's been selling for the last year. Governor Romney may dance around his positions, but if you want to be President, you owe the American people the truth.

It will be interesting to see what Representative Ryan says next week in the VP debate. This dude talks quite a hard line and has an awful lot of ultra conservative ideals that make my blood boil. Regardless, I'll respect him a lot more if he just comes right out and says them!
