Delusional Grandeur

I have a feeling I'll be screaming at my television set in frustration and disgust nearly every day from now until election day. I was incredulous when Romney was trotted out to make a statement about the violence and loss of American life in Libya. His action was little more than a political tactic in the face of a tragedy, an undignified maneuver that was as obvious as the day is long. He is highly offensive and desperately self-serving, a foolish wanna-be who imagines his statements are just as important as those given by the President of the United States.

Romney assumes most Americans are idiots who don't have a clue to what is really going on, just like many of his right-wing counterparts. It's as if he expects the masses to swallow every word that comes out of his mouth without question, even in regards to the mysterious plans he has to dig America out of its economic slump.

At least President Obama had the grace and dignity not to seize on political opportunity when he made his own statement today, which is the only one that counts anyway.
