Who knew how to turn things around and take charge and fix things.
White knight who saved the Olympics.
Just helped companies at Bain. Made them more efficient.
Just trying to put a sense of business efficiency into Massachusettes. Wanted a legacy to run for president on so he tackled healthcare like a wise businessman and used the Heritage Foundation plan.
And lots of footage of Romney and Kennedy working together.
Romney sounds very noble here.
Showed quite a bit about Romney's days as a missionary. But almost nothing about Obama's days as a community organizer or state senator-- nothing about his achievements there.
The show acted as though Obama's whole rise to success was a quick fluke. Once he had become head of the Harvard Law Review, working with conservatives and liberals there, he was then a state senator for ten seconds and then voila it's 2004.
But then the part that sent me away from my TV was the show pretending that the opposition to healthcare reform was purely organic. People just didn't like it. The tea parties just sprung up naturally. And Washington is a mean place and Obama doesn't like schmoozing like Clinton did.
Not one ounce of mention of the sponsorship to the tune of millions of dollars, of the "genuine grass roots" Tea Party groups, and the hate radio and hate TV spewing racist and other right wing garbage 24/7 and the Republicans vowing to make sure he does not get a second term was not even mentioned. The billionaire funded campaigns to undermine his presidency were not mentioned at all.
The bulk of this show has been what a strong businessman Romney was and what a mercurial figure Obama was and how this idealist was learning what Washington was really like.
THey say "Obama is now a polarizing figure." Without saying that after years and millions of dollars of Republican and right wing propaganda against him, Obama has been used as a polarizing figure, to distract voters from serious issues that unite them by stimulating the racism and cultural issues that divide them.
Very disappointing show for that reason.
Yes it is showing Mitt's flip flopping again. And pointed out that his ambition to be president has some religious fervor behind it. But there are lots of very flattering commentators on Romney, but not as many for our president.
Bottom line they seem to say is An Idealist vs a Businessman.
Very one-sided. I think the Republicans will love it.
