Mitt Romney Slams Incompetent Obama: Worse Than Even I Expected
For a man who has repeatedly insisted that he will not run for president a third time, former Republican nominee Mitt Romney has made a second career out of stumping for various local politicians. This week he was in West Virginia, speaking at a rally for three Republican congressional candidates. The crowd was undeniably electrified by Romneys appearance with chants of Mitt! Mitt! rising up to greet the man many had hoped would dethrone Barack Obama two years ago.
Speaking of the vacationer-in-chief, it was his unbelievably abysmal second term that drew some of Romneys harshest comments. Mentioning the presidents failure in a number of key areas (the economy, immigration, myriad troubles overseas), Romney said that Obama was performing a good deal worse than even I expected.
I was not a big fan of the presidents policies, as you know, either domestically or internationally, the former governor of Massachusetts said, but the results of his mistakes and errors, in my opinion, have been more severe than even I would have predicted.
His fiery speech and non-stop stump schedule had many in the press booth wondering if he was gearing up to take another crack at the presidency. Again, though, Romney remained steadfastly against the idea of campaigning for a third time. Im not running, he told reporters when the rally was finished. Im expecting to be getting behind some good people or a good person who will be.
Unfortunately, theres little reason to suspect that Mitt Romney in 2016 would be a stronger candidate than Mitt Romney in 2012. Some might suspect that a challenger other than the incumbent Obama would be easier to beat, but polling shows this isnt necessarily the case. While polls pitting Obama against Romney in 2014 have favored the Republican, those same polls demonstrate that respondents would choose Hillary Clinton if she were the one on the other side of the ballot.
His strength as a nominee is only part of the problem, though. The other part lies with his conservative credentials. For two campaigns in a row, the RNC has gotten behind a candidate just this side of a RINO. Some believe the mainstream media is responsible for these choices, using their liberal cunning to essentially decide the Republican nominee on behalf of the party. There are good reasons to suspect this is exactly the problem, but there are plenty of people in the GOP who think that moderate, centrist Republicans make the best candidates. Romney and John McCain both fit that bill rather well. Certainly better than George W. Bush, a man who handily won two terms in a row.
There are some bright, fresh conservative candidates out there. Candidates that bring that exciting, youthful energy that liberals found so inspiring in Barack Obama. If you want a candidate that will get people to actually get out and vote on November 8, 2016, you need someone who actually believes in what theyre saying. Merely looking a bit like Ronald Reagan is a far cry from being Ronald Reagan. Maybe its best if Romney sticks to cheerleading this time around.

Whatever Mr. Romney decides to do I'm willing to bet it will be the correct decision for a.) The Country, b.) His Family, c.) The Republican Party... I don't know how many remember his dad, he was another good man, just as Mitt is, in fact that was the first thing that got my attention back in '06-'07, what a good man he seemed to be, "What They Say About 'The Apple' Not Falling Far From The Tree" or my personal favorite: "Like Father Like Son"... They were both very good men... If he decides to help another candidate get elected I can't can't think of a better man to represent America as Sec. of State than Mitt Romney... Don D. :-)
