The First Debate: Maybe A Good Thing
Mad Dog luxuriates in the afterglow of an election rightly won, and well fought.
And one of the many good things to come out of it, Mad Dog dearly hopes is a new, more combative President Obama.
Many's the time Mad Dog, being a froth at the mouth type himself, howled at the timidity of Mr. Obama when faced with intransigence from Mr. McConnell and Mr. Boehner. No, we will not raise taxes on the rich. Oh, okay, well, if you don't like that, maybe we could just let the tax cuts we have expire and then we won't have to call it a tax hike. Would that be all right, Mr. McConnell? Would that offend you, Mr. Boehner?
Hopefully, Mr. Obama heard from enough of his supporters, after the first debate to drive that point home, not just for the next two debates, when he finally, came out swinging and landed combinations, and showed no fear of appearing like an angry Black man.
"Well, Mr. Romney, yes we do have fewer ships on the water now, but we also have fewer horses and bayonets because we've got these things called aircraft carriers and these ships that go under the water."
Mr. President, if you feel the need, come up here to New Hampshire and Mad Dog will give you growling lessons.

Mad Dog, just wanted to thank you for your part in getting the vote out. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteMad Dog did very little, beyond a few weekend door knocking stints. But what we hear as "the ground game" was highly organized by people like Patty McKenzie who know each and every Democrat in town, who know the Republicans and the wafflers. They are the people to whom the Dems owe this past election's success. What I'm looking forward to is hearing that buffoon, Rice, explain exactly what this election meant. Last time he said the 2010 election was the voters saying we had to cut taxes. This time, I am sure he'll admit it was about the voters saying, "Tax the rich."
