2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumIt just occurred to me that Mitt just torpedoed one of his acknowledged strengths - his Olympic
experience in Salt Lake City. He now can't talk about it without reminding everyone of his disastrous London tour.

(21,024 posts)Destroy your own strongest talking points before your political enemies do it, thus disarming them and leaving them completely gob-smacked, with nothing left to campaign on. Brilliant. Absolutely dazzling. The President is toast.

(14,177 posts)I miss those days. I never thought McCain was an evil man determined to undermine the middle class and create a permanent peasant class. Of course, there was a lot I disagreed with him on.

(12,461 posts)Obama has shot down his first reference on his resume...Bain Capital.
His finances are off limits, the only thing he hasn't flipped flopped on.
so what other accomplishment in his life could he point a finger at...the 2002 Olympics. He was supposed to highlight this fact, not play ONE UP man ship.
Self inflicted wounds.

(20,885 posts)An interviewer asked him about his horse, Frontenac or something like that. And he could say nothing except, "You'll have to ask my wife."
He couldn't think of any experience or interaction he had with the horse. Just nothing.

(8,419 posts)Team Obama didn't even get a chance to take him down on his Olympic achievements. The dumb shit did it himself.
I am waiting for the Roberto Duran, no mas moment. Although to be fair The Mittwit is more like Duran Duran.

Typical bully behavior. I hope the WH has the time to appreciate this today.

(14,881 posts)all he had to say was something along the lines of,
"No question, the London Olympics will be fabulous and I'm looking forward to enjoying them. I've read about the issues; I have no doubt they resolved them. I remember back when I was running the SLC Olympics; some days I thought I'd tear all my hear out. You can't be putting together something of that size and complexity without unexpected complications. But you just put your heads together and work through those issues, and in the end it all works out."
It's all win/lose to Mittens and the GOP. They have no concept of win/win. That's what makes them so truly dangerous.

What a smarmy fool.
