Romney: The Presumptuous Jet Setter-In-Chief

Did you get to see Romney’s two presidential-looking campaign jets (one for Romney, one for Ryan) awaiting their departure from Florida the day after the GOP Convention? Okay Mr. Romney - We get it. You’re rich and your Super Pac campaign contributors are rolling in the millions like a waterfall, but do you have to rub it in?

When Romney entered the GOP Convention Hall for his acceptance speech, he walked through a rope-line shaking hands, all huggy and kissy as if he was, already, the President entering the Halls of Congress for a State of the Union Address. When he, finally, got on stage Romney even introduced himself like the Sergeant of Arms introduces a President at a State of the Union Address!


I know it’s all in the optics – the jets, the rope-line, the introduction – trying to make it look like you’ve won. I, also, suspect that Romney is placing all his bets on the hopes that 1) GOP voter suppression will propel him to the presidency, and 2) Super Pac(ed) millions will flood the airways with the same types of vicious, fabrication ads and robocalls that picked off his GOP opponents one by one in the GOP primaries, but I have one word of caution for the presumptuous Jet Setter- in –Chief…


You have to get elected President before you, actually, get to be a President!


FYI
Do your part to make sure November 6th is a fair election. Too many individuals of all races, shades and creeds were water-hosed, beaten, jailed and killed for us to exercise that right.
