Calling Politico out for their new "bromance" with Mitt Romney.

Of course polls at this stage of the game mean very little, as essentially today after the Texas primaries is the first time that Romney will officially become the GOP presidential nominee.

However there is something to be said for the fact that Politico has suddenly given Romney a pass on his numerous gaffes, and started to treat him like an actual viable alternative to President Obama.

Of course it is getting harder and harder to take Politico seriously, especially since just today they have gone out of their way to give Sarah Palin credit as a political pundit, and made the assumption that her endorsements are based on some sort of intelligence, and not just on who begged her for them the hardest.

Personally I think that President Obama should take Thomas Friedman's advice and use his secret weapon to blow the Romney campaign out of the water. His record.

Barack Obama is a great orator, but he is the worst president I’ve ever seen when it comes to explaining his achievements, putting them in context, connecting with people on a gut level through repetition and thereby defining how the public views an issue. 

Think about this: Is there anyone in America today who doesn’t either have a pre-existing medical condition or know someone who does and can’t get health insurance as a result? Yet two years after Obama’s health care bill became law, how many Americans understand that once it is fully implemented no American with a pre-existing condition will ever again be denied coverage? 

“Obamacare is socialized medicine,” says the Republican Party. No, no — excuse me — socialized medicine is what we have now! People without insurance can go to an emergency ward or throw themselves on the mercy of a doctor, and the cost of all this uncompensated care is shared by all those who have insurance, raising your rates and mine. That is socialized medicine and that is what Obamacare ends. Yet Obama — the champion of private insurance for all — has allowed himself to be painted as a health care socialist. 

Think about this: Obama didn’t just save the auto industry from bankruptcy. Two years later, he also got all the top U.S. automakers to agree to increase mileage for their vehicle fleets to 54.5 miles per gallon by 2025, from 27.5 m.p.g. today. As Popular Mechanics put it, this “is the largest mandatory fuel economy increase in history.” It will drive innovation, save money and make America less dependent on petro-dictators. Did you know Obama did this? 

I have to agree with this. President Obama has managed to achieve some rather amazing things, and he seems reticent to let the American people know about them.

However if they were to know about them, and truly understand what he has done for this country, his poll numbers would soar. So if he is too damn humble to blow his own trumpet, than I guess it is left to us to do it for him.

Romney may LOOK like what a President is supposed to look like, but beneath the facade there is nothing but emptiness. 

President Obama may appear NOTHING like what Americans expect their President to look like, but beneath his surface is the kind of intellect, and ability, that we can only hope that our political leaders will possess.
