is half of the country throwing the American mantle out the window?
(The Root) -- It has been a long and tortuous two weeks since the Republicans first began doing the happy dance and attaboying each other after the first presidential debate.guess it's not that far fetched after all they booed a gay soldier fighting for their right to do just that reaping the benefits despite the reason why. they cheer at the suggestion to let another American die on a hospital gurney because of no insurance, they seem apathetic to anything that includes those Americans that don't meet their criteria
Their guy, Mitt Romney, had whipped that other guy like he owned him. The polls were indicating that Big Mo was on their side. And in the process of his punishing performance, Romney had confirmed what Republicans had been telling each other for four years: That fella occupying the White House was the nation's first affirmative action president and, by God, that historical disturbance would soon be over.
All that yee-hawing turned into one big whine and cheese party Tuesday night after the knock-down, drag-out debate, because The POTUS, The Commander-in-Chief, The Leader of the Free World, showed up on Long Island and, in no uncertain terms, demonstrated why Chief Executive Officers are a dime a dozen.
