Mitt’s Software Is Malfunctioning Badly

Bret Baier of Fox News kindly tried to give Mitt a chance to express regret about his failure to mention our troops in his convention speech.

Mitt used the opportunity to insert his other foot  into his mouth by saying that when you give a speech, “you talk about the things that you think are important.”  You know, stuff like more tax cuts for the rich.

So Mitt doesn’t think our troops are important.  He never served and neither did any of his five strapping sons.  Can’t you just picture him as Commander in Chief?  Me either.

 

Quote of the Day

Joe Biden addressing families of fallen troops today:

“It was the first time in my career, in my life, I realized someone could go out — and I probably shouldn’t say this with the press here, but no, but it’s more important, you’re more important.  For the first time in my life, I understood how someone could consciously decide to commit suicide.  Not because they were deranged, not because they were nuts, because they had been to the top of the mountain, and they just knew in their heart they would never get there again.

“There was still something gigantic missing.  And just when you think, ‘Maybe I’m going to make it,’ you’re riding down the road and you pass a field, and you see a flower and it reminds you.  Or you hear a tune on the radio.  Or you just look up in the night.  You know, you think, ‘Maybe I’m not going to make it, man.’  Because you feel at that moment the way you felt the day you to the news.

“Folks, it can and will get better.  There will come a day — I promise you, and your parents as well — when the thought of your son or daughter, or your husband or wife, brings a smile to your lips before it brings a tear to your eye.  It will happen.”

I don’t see this guy as a liability to Obama.
