I want the guy on TV to be cool, said the dim.

I want our president to be competent, said the Republican.

And they all went at a high rate of speed towards the fiscal abyss.

Last night´s Saturday Night Live opening skit was an attempt to make fun of Mitt Romney. They showed him drinking milk to excess - unfunny, not remembering the names of his sons - unfunny. It was sad to see a once amusing tv show losing its soul.

We will all b cool or freezing when we cant afford to pay our bills...we will also be starving....we are on the road to disaster...

Im sorry to say, the "it" factor is part of the American psyche....this is a celebrity culture. If you don´t know how to be cool, don´t run. We didn´t have ONE nominee who met this criteria this cycle. If you don´t understand "cool" you´ll never understand why we lost. It stinks, but it´s true.

Vote for the cool guy! If you´ve lost your job who cares? The cool guy will give you someone else´s money so don´t worry...this can go on forever. You can stay home and watch cool people on TV and won´t have to act "white" anymore. The cool guy will take care of everything. Cool!

Never forget the Pimp with the Limp. Obama, the 4 Kool general leading the victorious army in the War on Women, appeared on the Pimp´s show and not a word of embarrassment was heard from the women in the vagina outfits. Nor from Chrissy Matthews, who would love to be on air in a vagina costume, but MSNBC has minimal standards. Obama isn´t cool, he´s heartless. But to his followers, "That´s cool".

Also, golfers are never cool. They´re old fogies. Unless, of course, your Obama.

Very good article - it is long but so true.
You will tire rapidly of the cool word.

I agree. I echo the anger of the first part of the article. I am trying to latch onto the hope of the 2nd half of the article.

FTA:
"
Despite his failure to contest Obama frontally in the public forum in a truly vigorous battle of clearly contrasted ideas and values, except on one delicious debate night of October 3, Romney would have been a great president for this moment in time. America would have benefited so greatly from having a man of quality, of personal humility and deep character in the White House.
"

Now, that was cool.
and the MSM did everything they could to put clothes back on the emperor.

Those who want cool in our Pres. should not be allowed to vote.

My Pres. must be statesmanlike.

The wimpy Republicans are not going to win future elections by becoming the Democrat Light Party, as the real liberal Democrats will out bid them in the arena of minority voter participation at every step of the game.

The Republicans have to get a pair and stop playing Defense all the time.

The author is more optimistic than I.
