BAM!!

(eat this!)


From the moment I saw President Obama's face on the highly-anticipated second debate with Gov. Mitt Romney last night, I had a feeling that he was going to knock Mitt's dentures straight out his mouth. For the most part, the President did not disappoint as he circled the ring, deftly deflecting Romney's attacks & landing punch after punch on issues ranging from foreign policy to gender equality in the work place saving a crucial round-house blow to the jaw at the end when he mentioned Mitt's remarks at a fundraiser concerning the 47%. Romney, being the bully & sour loser that he is, tried to work the referee, Candy Crowly, with punches & headbutts after the bell, but she was not having it unlike that punk-ass Jim Lehrer in the prior debate. It was fantastic political theatre -  from their ties (Obama's Republican red/ Romney's Democratic blue) to the icy stare-downs to the angry, alpha-male crosstalk. At one point it looked as if they would come to blows!  Gotta love when a perennial liar , corporate raider & tax evader takes a fall!

Truth be told, in spite of what was handed to Pres. Obama from the disastrous Bush Administration,  I don't like a lot of what Pres. Obama has done domestically and internationally, but given the limited choices we are given in presidential elections, he is really the lesser of the two evils. Sadly, the mainstream media has blocked out the other candidates who are running which puts into question what this strange perversion of democracy is leading us towards. Yes, there are other candidates out there: Gary Johnson (Libertarian Party), Jill Stein (Green Party), Virgil Goode (Constitution Party), and Rocky Anderson (Justice Party), but they are all invisible to most for obvious reasons. Real change in the United States will not happen until we the people deliver a knockout punch of our own.
