Mark Shields Makes an Important Point
I do not like Mitt Romney. He was my governor for four years, and he was crap. He may have plugged up a big budget gap, but he did so on the backs of the poor and middle class. He is a phony and knows nothing about government. But please let him be nominated by the GOP, because he is the only one that can give Obama a run for his money.
I like Barrack Obama. I like him a lot. But this election that’s coming should be a very real discussion and debate about where to take the country. I want Barrack Obama to win it. I want him to win the debate and the election. I do not want the GOP candidate to be dismissed.
Mark Shields on Friday’s NewsHour put it best (BTW, Mark Shields also wants Barrack Obama to win the election):
Three out of four Americans believe the country is headed in the wrong direction. This is an election about what the government should do, shouldn’t do, who should pay for it, what we’re going to ask of each other, what we’re going to ask of ourselves. I mean, it should be a very serious debate, and because Obama’s stewardship has been an imperfect and flawed stewardship.
And if Newt Gingrich is the nominee, Barack Obama will coast to a second term. Because it will be all about Newt Gingrich. Newt Gingrich — Newt Gingrich is such a flawed vessel and such a flawed candidate.
He has more skeletons than the Harvard Medical School lab does. And I’m telling you, it’s — it would be bad for the country. To have Obama coast to a re-election, untested, unchallenged, undiscussed, is really going to be bad.
