Speaking of people of whom I am ashamed:
Romney criticised for remarks on Libya attack
Mr. Romney, Mr. Obama, do you actually presume to call yourselves adults? You sound more like you're running for class president than POTUS. The most important seat in the nation should be occupied by someone mature in their thinking, moderate in their views, diplomatic in their dealings with the other branches of government, and critical in their analysis of situations. Thus far in this election season, neither of you has shown anything remotely resembling those qualifications. Quite the opposite, in fact. You are both knee-jerk one-upsmen, snapping at every little opportunity to denigrate your opponent in hopes that everyone will hate you less than him.
My first real awareness of campaign mud-slinging came in 1988, when my tender young ears were treated to the invective flung from the television set by George H.W. Bush and Michael Dukakis. It was in those months that I first began to lose faith in the American political establishment, and that erosion continues with each successive biennial election season. I am reminded painfully of chimpanzees flinging their own feces at rival troops. Perhaps "mud-slinging" is not the proper term.
So, once again I am reduced to vituperating supposedly human beings, reminding them that they are NOT animals but sentient, sapient beings capable of far greater and more noble sentiments than the poop they are throwing not only at each other but at every American.
Mr. Romney, Mr. Obama, you are degrading us all with your primate-house antics. Show us your big brains, not your red butts.
