Barack Obama proved tonight that he knows can’t defend his record, so he tried the infamous tactic of the Big Lie. This means you make an outrageous statement and just keep repeating it. The fact that it’s complete fiction is irrelevant. You figure that if you say it enough, people will believe it.
The president kept repeating the lie that Mitt Romney is proposing a $5 trillion tax cut. That’s not true. Fortunately, Mitt Romney isn’t the kind of guy to just stand there and let someone lie about him, and he called the president out.
It’s about time someone called the president out on the nonsense he says. Governor Romney didn’t let him get away with claiming he was serious about cutting the deficit either. When Obama pretended he was putting a serious deficit reduction plan in front of Congress, Romney reminded him that he’s been president for four years and he’s run $1 trillion deficits every year!
When Romney explained the need to repeal Dodd-Frank, which has had a horrible impact on the banking industry, Obama tried to pretend Romney wants no regulation at all of financial markets. Romney didn’t let him get away with that either!
And when Obama tried to pretend that ObamaCare was based on Romney’s plan in Massachusetts, Romney pointed out that his plan didn’t raise taxes, didn’t create a board that would control people’s treatments and didn’t put people in a position to lose the insurance they already had, and liked.
Obama looked awfully uncomfortable being called out for the nonsense he says. He’s not used to it. The media certainly doesn’t do it to him. Thank goodness Mitt Romney did, and as a result, dominated this first debate.
