My favorite moment of the entire evening, possibly even the entire convention, was during Mitt Romney's speech last night when he said (and I am paraphrasing a little here), "President Obama promised to begin to slow the rise of the oceans. And to heal the planet. My promise is to help you and your family." Looking right in the camera... That moment will be remembered.
I have wrestled and hesitated about posting this thought: I truly appreciated the personal stories about Romney that were told last night; he seems to be a man of good character and good conscience and, yes, good faith and a positive attitude. He seems to have surrounded himself with people of good character and that speaks a great deal about a man. I don't know Romney personally but I know men just like him whom I see every week and whom I respect beyond words for the remarkable, good, quiet work that they do; not wanting or expecting recognition nor craving attention; and the help that they give to the fatherless and the widows and their fellow man, etc.
We've heard no such stories about The ONE. What we do know, as a contrast, The Pharaoh has surrounded himself with the likes of Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers, Rod Blagojevich, Bernadine Dohrn, Saul Alinsky, Tony Rezko, Derrick Bell, Rashid Khalidi, Frank Marshall Davis, the Weather Underground, etc., etc., etc.; which says something about him too.
