The Awful Lies Of A Little Girl

The first debate.  Everyone says the Willard won it, and maybe he did.  But there were two big problems with his performance. 

1.  It was all lies.  Besides the awful tone of it, he was glib to the point of being flippant, the content consisted entirely of lies.  And big lies too, like the Soviets saying that all they really wanted to do was free the workers of the world, or the Imperial Japanese saying that all they really wanted to do was bring peace to Asia.  Mitt's talking about the real goals of his (potential) presidency had me wondering, "what color is the sky on his planet?" 

2.  The awful tone of it.  Poor Mitt is a giggly thing, isn't he?  Is it just me, of does he constantly seem to be on the verge of full blown hysterics.  He bounces; he waives his arms; his face lights up like a Christmas tree; his voice leaps from his throat.  And then, all of a sudden, he settles down and mimics seriousness, for a moment, before launching off into more giddy hysteria. 

President Obama seemed a little too on the down low, that happened, but at least he didn't seem mentally ill.
