Sorry. This is a duplicate post. I don't think I've posted long enough to be able to delete my own posts yet. My apologies.

I know Obama isn't the greatest thing since liquid fermented grain but he has done much the past few years to restore a bit of dignity to the Oval Office. Romney is quickly showing he'll be as gaff prone as Bush. Perhaps not as dumb as Bush but far more arrogant and smug.

Elphaba you can't delete your own posts but if you report the message to a moderator with the little "!" point in the bottom right of your post notifying them of a duplicate post they'll delete it.
(Is Elphaba the name of the Witch from the play Wicked?)

No worries, Elphaba. It happens to everyone all the time (usually through no fault of their own). I just delete the text from the second post and replace it with "Dupe". Everyone understands.

Hi why me! It doesn't matter if Mitt was correct or not (I'm quite sure he was not). What matters is that he made a horrendous goof in diplomacy. It speaks to his "nerdiness" and lack of class as well as his poor qualifications to serve as President.
He's kind of a jerk.

He's just tone deaf. Romney isn't a very good politician and clearly not a very good diplomat. The funniest part of all this is he didn't have to say a single thing. Just show up. He seems to be his own worst enemy.

I thought you were insulting the poster before you in the thread, saying that they had been fooled.
