Eugene Robinson column on who's tougher, Romney or Obama
« on: December 20, 2011, 10:59:12 PM »
This column by Eugene Robinson is unbelievable in its partisanship. Take this statement:

Quote
Romney is eager to show that he would somehow be tougher than Obama in foreign policy — a high bar, given Obama’s record of killing Osama bin Laden and helping orchestrate the demise of Moammar Gaddafi.

A high bar? Obama can be given credit for giving the green light to killing bin Laden (versus, say, trying him in a Manhattan court), but helping orchestrate the demise of Ghaddafi? By leading from behind and not engaging?

What chutzpah.

The column is here.

Appears to be another case of melanomania.

Nope. Simple partisanship. (And the simple mind of Eugene Robinson.)

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

"Simple partisanship?"  Heard of Stockholm Syndrome?  This is Atlanta Syndrome.  And, by the way, white people can get it too.

I'm afraid Obama is catnip for too many who ought to know better.
