Subject: Hey
Charlie –
I hope I made you proud out there explaining the vision we share for this country. Just four short years ago, I defined a new moral course for this country, a course in which the poor would be uplifted, the rich would be made to pay for their centuries of oppression, the rising seas would return to their proper shores; every valley would be exalted, and the crooked would be made straight.
In last night’s dominating performance, I …
oh, who am I kidding? I sucked. It was a cold cold ride back to the hotel, and I’m not talking about the crazy Colorado weather. Sweetie was so mad the Secret Service guy insisted on sitting between us in the limo. I tried to comfort her. “Baby, please. Look, think about Eleanor Roosevelt — she was an icon for her entire life. She helped found the UN, she –”
“Yeah. And Franklin Roosevelt was dead.” She gave me The Look; the Secret Service guy instinctively turned to take it on his own body, but it was too late. ”If you died in office, maybe.” (Mental note: have the Secret Service taste my food until she calms down.)
Look, I don’t really feel like chatting; I’m just writing to remind you that the campaign isn’t over — honest! — and we’re still looking for donations. Send $10, $5, even $1 — anything will help. You can log into the website and make a donation with your credit card. Hell, it doesn’t even have to be your credit card — it’s not like we’re checking. By the time it’s noticed and charged back, I’ll be planning my library and talking to Bill about ghosting my memoirs.
Maybe I can run for Secretary-General. Ban Ki Moon is a puppet of the special interests, the oil companies. Yeah, that’s it.
Yours
Barack
As much as I enjoyed the way last night’s debate went, I think there is entirely too much dancing in the end zone by our side. There is still a lot of time on the clock.
You’re exactly right.
Nice debate, Mitt. Now don’t get cocky. You’re up against a corrupt president aided by a lying Press. They’re going to do everything possible to win this election.
While I believe you are correct – no touchdown dances yet, I do believe Mitt Romney is much different than politicians we have seen before. This guy is focused, earnest, honest, and determined to win because the country is so terribly messed up. With any other candidate at any other time I would be more worried but if you listen to those that have known Mitt for a long time this is who he is.
Fine… no touchdown dance. Can we at least celebrate the opposing team fumbling at the start of the 4th quarter?
Love the picture of Brak.
Brak loved his dog. Brak didn’t eat dogs.
I actually think Brak looks more like Michelle.
I heard Barack’s debate performance was the spontaneous response to watching a movie trailer on YouTube. That movie: Dinesh D’Souza’s “2016.”
Why not dance? Does anyone actually think the Left would not be rubbing an Obama win in our faces had it gone that way?
Enjoying the spoils of a hard-fought (by Mitt) win is part of the process of winning. Then you buckle down and do the hard work necessary to win again. I expect Romney will do just that.
In the meantime, I will Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, as I rub it in liberals faces that their god can, indeed, bleed.
Oh, celebrate, by all means. We’ve needed something like this to sustain our resolve and keep us in motion. But remember that there are still 33 days to go before the election returns are counted. Some large and scary forces are arrayed against us, and they will learn from this setback. Romney will have to be even better in the next two debates to score as he did last night.
“Don’t get cocky” is always good advice. Even in the midst of a celebration.
Whatever happens, the mask fell and the public has seen the real Obama.
the thing is, the last night debate was about hard stuff, it was difficult for obama to bullshit his way out of math with his atrocious record. next debates will be on fluffy topics, and this is where obama is a true bullshit artist. be afraid, be very afraid.
Don’t think so. The next on is on foreign affairs. After this Libya fiasco, I wouldn’t want to be Brak.
“be afraid, be very afraid.”
Uh, no. Mitt should be wary, yes. He should work hard to prepare and prepare for the likely counterattacks Obama will try to launch after getting schooled last night. But there is really no reason to be afraid.
The more I see of Romney, the more I like him. And I think that will be true of most people. He is a genuinely decent person — this story is just one of many that shows his character: http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2012/jan/30/chain-email/viral-internet-story-says-mitt-romney-helped-locat/. And he doesn’t wring his hands over media bias; he just works around it.
