Mitt Romney is using an appearance by the president on “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” to paint Obama as a president who isn’t serious. Friday morning, the Romney campaign released the statement below. Obama has consistently used late-night TV to try and get his message across — he was the first sitting president to appear on late-night TV and has appeared on several shows.
What do you think? Was it appropriate for the president to sing with Fallon on late-night TV?
This past week previewed the stark contrast facing voters in this election. Governor Romney’s speech Tuesday night in New Hampshire contained a crisp and specific critique of President Obama’s policy failures and his own positive vision for a better America. The speech left the Obama campaign sputtering – with even David Axelrod offering praise. In fifteen minutes, Governor Romney dismantled the myths of “hope and change” with the reality of a failed record that even the President and his campaign are struggling to defend.
President Obama’s stagnant, government-centered economy has depressed growth and the American spirit of natural optimism. At a time when a campaign just emerging from a long primary should be struggling, Governor Romney has rapidly unified support and begun to capture the imagination of the country with his vision of a pro-growth economy that will lift us out of the Obama doldrums. It was a big speech to mark a big win that begins a big debate about big things.
President Obama, on the other hand, spent the week slow-jamming the news, striking a Heisman pose, and trying to pick a fight over student loans to help the one-in-two recent college graduates who are either jobless or underemployed as a result of his policies (which is apparently really funny stuff to the President). Unfortunately for him, Republicans agree with the need for a temporary extension, but want it paid for by cutting spending rather than raising taxes. So instead of the fight he was hoping for, he got a debate over taxes and spending – which he wasn’t hoping for.
I’m wondering if 3/4 of the above article and poll (essentially everything below “What do you think”) that appears to be an opinion piece is supposed to be there? Did someone somehow manipulate the system and put their comment inside the actual article?
Like Romney will do anything more then curry favor with his buddy’s nothing will change next 4 years regardless of whitch one of these two become president.
