Post Debate Thoughts

I am happy to say that Bob Scheiffer was not Candy Crowley tonight and was a decent moderator.  Mitt didn't clearly win across the board, but he won on the economy.  he also was the "grown-up in the room," whereas Obama looked like the Grinch in the room.

When Obama sarcastically tried to school Mitt on the military, saying that we no longer are a military of bayonets and naval ships, it showed me how little our president knows about the military (even pronouncing the word "corps" as "corpse") because, in fact, the Marine Corps still uses bayonets as their last line of defense when out of ammo, and troop carriers bring them onto shore while softening the beach head with destroyer fire.  Obama knows less about the military and the economy than most people.  It's frightening that he's the "Commander in Chief."

Already the fact checkers are busy at work, and already the Obama folks are walking back his statement about ending sequestration, or cutting back on military spending.  Now that didn't take long.

But maybe some feel Obama won the debate regarding foreign policy--at least to some on the left--but Romney won on the economy and comes out the winner of these debates, overall.  Obama played 'small ball' while Mitt played 'large ball.'  It was a good strategy which I believe will win Mitt the election.  And it's happening in just two weeks--please be sure to vote.

My latest novel, Jihad Joe, is about Islamic terrorism and suspense.  In it I challenge the precepts of the religion through my protagonist, Zed Nill, a journalist, captured by terrorists and who is destined to be killed if the American President refuses to release three Gitmo prisoners.  Of course, American policy demands we never give in to terrorists, and for Zed, the clock is ticking.
