Hussein Obama shows up.<br /><br />And I want to see an alternative inflation rate, one that reflects the prices people pay -- especially including food, utilities, and gas and diesel fuels. That rate, since the Clinton era, I think, would be something tough for President Obama to counter.<br /><br />I think there is room to criticize Obama for allowing the nation to move along, for his entire term, without a Congressional budget. I think that a list of Obama's <em>specific</em> goals and promised actions could be listed and compared to his actions.<br /><br />President Obama hasn't mentioned his Nobel Peace prize for his foreign policy plans -- what he did, and how it turned out, should entertain us all.<br /><br />President Obama spent several moments repeating his barb that Romney wants to increase military spending "that the military hasn't asked for". Um, isn't the military supposed to ask for stuff to meet their assigned missions? I would think the Commander in Chief would be the one tasking, and supplying, the military.<br /><br />And I think there is room to criticize the Obama administration for the skyrocketing growth in the number of automatic and assault weapons and assigned units, in federal units <em>outside the military</em>. Like the Department of Education, for one instance.<br /><br />I do like Romney's quip, "You can have your own airplane, Mr. President, but you can't have your own facts."<br /><br />No, I am not betting that President Obama will actually show up for either debate.Brad K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18378344866487206569noreply@blogger.com
