Where's Willlard

The atmosphere seems to eat Willard's messages about the economy up in thin air. Or it could be the House Republicans voting to go to the whole house to vote contempt against Eric Holder because he only submitted over 6,000 files. I can't even understand Fast and Furious Now and it just looks to be another political stunt by Darryl Issa. 


In his All Towns Left Behind tour Willard was Weird praising WAWAS like Poppi Bush discovering barcodes. Along the way Willard was joined by Paul Ryan, whose budget came under a new attack when studies showed it would increase taxes by a whopping amount on the dwindling Middle Class. The Romney campaign announced they were vetting TPaw, Tim Pawlenty who bowed out of the race before the first primary, and Senator Portman of Ohio. Weird Willard also stopped into Michigan to say he would have bailed out the auto industry better than Obama. The day before the press released that the Romney's declared over $77,000 tax deductions for Ann's horses. The big news for Romney was that Ann's horse made the Olympics.


While Ben Barnacke gave bad news about the economy, the Republicans had several days of Obama is a Tyrant talk, referring to his immigration policy,his declaring Executive Privilege for the first time, and his insisting that Karl Rove should identify the donors to Crossroads,USA. These were the stories for the Fox News telethon against Obama. But it's clear that rightwing meme didn't catch on. Romney has to terminate his phone conference with reporters because they kept asking him about immigration and didn't want to hear his Obama is to blame for the bad economy.


Romney was hailed by the media as the best qualified candidate to run against Obama but his awkwardness has been telling. The Washington Post had to run a piece that Republicans were warming up to him as a "regular guy". Today's Bloomberg poll showing Obama winning by 53 to 40 was revealing because the internals of the polls showed that Americans still liked the President's character and felt that Willard was still out of touch.


Romney refused to silence his supporters who heckle President Obama while David Axelrod criticized Democrats who were protesting Romney's bus tour. Sending the very wrong message, Romney announced he would be holding a fund-raiser at David Koch's Long island mansion. Does one get numb to his blatant pandering to the wealthy or will people respond to this?


In what I thought would be a down cycle for Obama after last week, he remained strong for the last five days, while Willard's message seemed to be drummed out of the news.
