Romney looks like a winner to me!

As we move closer and closer to people actually voting rather than answering pollsters, it looks like Mitt Romney could sweep the early primaries and clinch everything by March 1st.

Again, I can't guarantee it but it looks like he will win most of those early primaries from New Hampshire to Michigan.  I don't think that Romney wins the Iowa caucus or the South Carolina primary.

My point is that we have to start dealing with the reality that Romney will be the nominee.

Is Romney perfect?  No but neither was Reagan in 1980.  I was there.  I remember all of the complaints about Reagan being an easy target during the debates or the many concerns about his age.

Romney brings several assets to the campaign:

1) He is the only GOP candidate who consistently defeats Pres BO in the polls.  Again, I understand that it's early but he is very competitive.

2) He has a grasp of the issues and can go one on one with anyone.

I understand that some in the base want a more conservative candidate.  

OK.  Let that "more conservative" candidate get up and run for president.  So far, he hasn't!  So far he is a fantasy or a dream!  You can't nominate a dream or a fantasy.

We are where we are.  It will very likely be a choice between Romney and Obama.

I know who I will vote for!

What exactly does Pres BO hate about dealing with PM Netanyahu every day?

Bad timing?  Yes it is!

In a couple of days, we will get a new Iran nuclear report.  My guess is that we won't be happy with the results.  You can bet that Israel won't be happy either.

We learned last night that Pres BO & Pres Sarkozy were overheard talking about PM Netanyahu.   It went like this, according to news reports:

"Sarkozy to Obama: "I cannot bear Netanyahu, he's a liar."

Obama's response: "You're fed up with him, but I have to deal with him even more often that you.""

What exactly is it that Pres BO does not like about dealing with the Israeli PM?  Frankly, I don't get it.

Israel is our # 1 ally in the region.  PM Netenyahu is a straight shooter who speaks bluntly, forcefully and doesn't hold back when he is talking about international terrorism.

So what's going on?

First, I don't think that Pres BO got over the "in your face" rebuke that followed the speech about returning to the 1967 border.

Secondly, Pres BO has a very thin skin.  He doesn't like people who confront him.  He wants to be surrounded by those who jump up and down screaming "yes we can".  PM Netanyahu is not a "yes we can" kind of guy!
