Obama’s problem was that he actually believed in the image of Romney that he is campaigning about all over the country. He believed that he was the personification of the strawman that he creates when he talks about “those who want to make our schools worse, and want to make our environment dirty, and give more billions of dollars to the rich.” He actually thought that he could defeat Romney the same way he knocks down his strawmen when he’s campaigning. He’s delusional, and it’s not going to get better for him, because he’s got nothing. All he can do from now on is tell everyone what he says will happen if Romney is elected.
When you listen to one side long enough and believeeverything the media says, you will always think the other side lies. If you would do your own investigating away from the media and go to the actual stories you will find the truth. It is amazing how those who don’t fact check on either side continue to spew the same falsehoods. Remember what Romney alluded to, “if you repeat a lie long enough some may begin to think it is true”.
This was a lousy idea for a cartoon. Clint’s speech upstaged Romney’s. Its the only thing anyone really remembers about the Republican convention. Bringing that back was foolish.
The reason Romney seems out of touch with the public is because he is from a corporate culture that lost its connection to the workers years ago. It has nothing to do with liberal media. What you saw was an act. That same act every CEO puts on for investors and to hype up the company to the public. Behind closed doors he is one of those people who bribes themselves to do the job they are already over paid for and fires people to cover the cost or boost stock prices. These are the same kind of people who bear most of the responsibility for the financial mess of the country. Do you really want CEO as president?

Nobody with even a grade-school education would fall for Romney’s shameless Etch-a-Sketch routine. A Good Cartoon.

Mitt’s selling badly used Yugos, and the Republicans think they’re buying brand new Ferraris, for $1.98.
To the ‘toon, it’s also notable Mitt DID have to stand from that chair to stand at the lectern.

Please don’t compare Romney with Dr. Who. The good Doctor is much funnier than Mitt.
