Mitt Romney may forego drinking anything stronger than Sprite, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have superhero qualities. He found a way to earn a fortune. He saved the Olympics and a teenage girl. He even saved a dog and about a half dozen or so of the dog’s human family. No wonder Team Obama came up with the twitter hashtag #SaySomethingNiceAboutObama. Too bad the best thing that showed up was that Obama hasn’t eaten dog lately.
Moe Lane compared Romney to Batman:
This is an old story – one that Jim Geraghty (via the Morning Jolt) reminisced about while noting the time that Mitt Romney saved a bunch of people* from drowning – that relates the time that Mitt Romney had somebody take a swing at him on a flight. Supposedly, Romney had asked the guy in front of him to put his seat up before takeoff (Romney and his wife flew economy class, by the way**), the guy swung on him, situation resolved by local security forces. Nothing unusual, right? …No, that’s just what THEY want you to think. There’s a conflicting report.
Read the whole thing if you want to learn about Romney’s Vulcan Death Grip.The only thing Obama has ever put the Vulcan Death Grip on is the American economy.
Oh, and can you imagine the Obama’s ever traveling coach? Only Superheros and regular schmucks like us travel coach.
***Before you go and leave a comment calling me names, I really don’t think Mitt Romney is a superhero. But I do think he’s much more competent than the current occupant of the White House. All you need to do is look at O’s record for the past three and a half years to figure that out. Here’s a visual that’s a bit out of date, but seeing that things have only gotten worse….
I’m with you, LC. Mitt Romney is not a superhero and he certainly isn’t perfect, but he is a great deal better than Barack Obama. I know a lot of Republicans who think Romney will be no better a President than Obama, but I beg to differ.

This story about Mitt Romney is slightly newer, but no less under-the-radar

Mitt Romney led the most liberal state in the nation back from a budget crisis to economic health. He did so by reaching intelligent compromise with MA’s extremely liberal state legislators; together they were able to set the state’s economy back on the right path. As a moderate, I consider this to be the most important talent that Romney can bring to the nation. I admire Obama’s oratorical skills, but the proven fact is that he cannot function as a political leader; he appears utterly unable to develop compromise solutions with Republicans. When Congress disagrees with him, Obama castigates Congress; when SCOTUS disagrees with him, he condemns them as being “unelected” – apparently because he was absent the day they taught constitutional law at Harvard Law School.
I realize that liberal ideologues try to blame this logjam on Republicans, but Romney already demonstrated his ability to reach sound political compromises – with even those at the far end of the political spectrum from himself. Obama remains a fine orator, but his economic policies are horrible. Recall that Germany’s Merkel faced just as big a crisis, but her more intelligent economic policies restored Germany’s economy far better and sooner than Obama’s. Obama didn’t begin to focus on fixing the economy until recently; Romney will make the economy his primary focus from day one.
