The saddest thing to be learned about the 2012 Presidential Debate season is how soon people are willing to dismiss or completely ignore the accomplishments of the president.
The Republican Party and their sympathizers are so desperate for their uninspiring candidates to win, they are, time and time again, choosing to completely ignore substance. If Mitt Romney is rude, overly aggressive, and obnoxious to the host and Big Bird, it is lauded as “being Presidential.” Now that their candidate has lost the Vice Presidential Debate of 2012, desperation dictates that the Republican focus turn to facial expressions.
Wednesday’s first 2012 Presidential Debate was a head-scratcher to say the least. The media talked about how lackluster President Barack Obama’s performance was in stark contrast to Mitt Romney’sperformance. I believe that I can offer an interpretation.
