Thoughts After Debate #2

Our President was back in the saddle Tuesday night, and he didn't let go of the reins!   Hear Roy Rogers celebrate being back!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZqRL7nJB48

I'm feeling good, even a bit optimistic now.  Won't go overboard on the optimism because we still need to work, work, work, and get out the vote.  But it was nice to pause and celebrate Tuesday, wasn't it?

How any woman—unless she subscribes to some patriarchal religion that tells her she's less valuable than a man—could vote for Romney/Ryan is far beyond me.   I hope any undecided women made up their minds Tuesday night.  Women, do we want a boss in the White House or a president?  Romney's not accustomed to the idea that women are NOT in the world to serve him; he doesn't get that all men and women are not required to jump when he says jump.  Did you notice?!  He was a rude steamroller, unaccustomed to being challenged, certainly not by Candy Crowley, who has the gall to be a competent, assertive woman.   Most of all, I couldn't believe the monumental disrespect he showed our President.   Romney acted as if he were talking to a subordinate in his business rather than the leader of the free world! 

Someone said Romney is like the boss who makes a bad joke, and his employees know they must laugh.  They're afraid not to.  

Personally, I see Romney as a petulant plutocrat who dreams of ruling a new kingdom created solely for corporate gain.   There would be more than 47% of us experiencing the bad joke of a Romney presidency—and we wouldn't be laughing.
