Mitt Romney Seizes Debate and Bullies Jim Lehrer (PBS)

1:00AM

I am watching the repeat of the Presidential Debate. Sadly, President Obama is deferential and is not operating with “fire in the belly.” Being a Christian gentleman, he is not resorting to bullying the moderator like Mitt Romney who has literally hijacked the debate. I am seeing the Mitt Romney operating as the bully he was in boarding school. I hope the American people give the President points for all the work he is doing behind the scene to seek democracy and global peace. [His job as Commander-in-Chief is exhausting!] Romney’s self-serving words about the poor and the middle-class fall on my unbelieving ears! Mr. Obama’s words are well-chosen, but, he is not confronting Romney with them. He refuses to get passionate (angry). I have respected Jim Lehrer for decades. I hope he realizes that he owes Barack Obama a personal apology for the poor job of moderating the debate. He, too, should have responded with firmness or anger when the millionaire and ex-CEO started talking over him and assuming control of the conversation.

So, it looks like many people feel that Romney won this first debate, even though not on the merits of his arguments, but for his aggressive style. Mercifully, there are two more debates. I could almost ‘bet you $10,000’ that next time President Obama will be operating with all of his batteries fully charged, and will win the remaining debates with respect. grace and charm. We love you, Barack H. Obama! God bless you!
