It’s strange don’t you think…

That President Obama – who has four years developing his record can’t defend it?

That President Obama, the man driving the health care debacle, who along with Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid rammed it through congress, can only joke about its name – and not speak to its substance??

That President Obama, when confronted with the facts – like – there are no incentives for taking jobs overseas…or that there is no $5 trillion dollar tax cut for the wealthy… or his economic plans are not working…he will not only admit the error in his rhetoric – but even repeats the very same, debunked charge just a few moments later????

Of course, Obama‘s supporters have come up with more excuses than there are snowflakes on Mount Everest!  Everything from Al Gore blaming Denver’s high altitude for Obama‘s dismal performance, or that Obama wasn’t prepared, or that he was too busy to prepare, a few even going as far as admitting that Mitt Romney was just better prepared!

Well, if you watched the debate, you’d know that the President simply couldn’t defend his record when the facts were presented and the right questions asked!  It was evident in his posture, his inability to speak to the issue and not just repeat his campaign rhetoric. And if you watched a little closer, you’d notice that President Obama wouldn’t – or couldn’t make eye contact when he tried to mount a defense – not with the audience, not the camera, or even in Romney’s direction when it sounded the President was speaking to him directly.  Well, to most folks – that in and of itself, says a lot…and then to top it off…VP Biden goes on air praising President Obama’s performance and that this election presents the starkest choice in his memory…and that the President did a wonderful job making it clear just how stark that choice is!

Well, for once – Joe Biden is right!

A wise man once opined that a sincere man will look you in the eye when he speaks.

If not…he may be hiding something or getting ready to tell a lie.

Usually – it’s both
