This Should Be Easy

Wednesday's debate should be the easiest ever for Romney, given the extensive and negative record of the president.  Supposedly this debate's about domestic policy stuff, which should be a walk in the park if you're Romney.

The debt and deficit, the waste, not a single budget in the president's tenure in direct violation of law, acting like a dictator by illegally imposing things like amnesty for illegals, oil drilling moratoria, the HHS contraception mandate, and wasting billions on "clean energy" boondoggles from Solyndra to Fisker. 

Then there's Fast & Furious, the unstimulating and corrupt trillion-dollar "Stimulus" legislation, blocking the oil pipeline from Canada and shutting down the coal companies, promising defense contractors he'll cover their fines if they put off their layoff notices until after election day.

Corruption, malfeasance, incompetence, indolence.  This is easy.

I know, Romney has to be careful not to hit too hard, because that will risk offending the legions that worship Obama and don't care what he's done.

So he doesn't have to hit too hard.  But he must also present a clear and simple message to Americans that it's not just about the incompetence and corruption of the current president, but more about how a Romney presidency is going to fix things and make peoples' lives better.

I actually think I could win this debate, even though I'm far from a decent public speaker.
