The Benghazi moment was pure courtroom poetry. President Obama is the Harvard trained lawyer, who lectured in Constitutional Law at the University of Chicago. The Mittster is a Harvard Business School dropout huckster. This set of circumstances reinforces the wisdom that none of us in the role of defendant in a court of law should ever forego adequate legal council and get deluded into thinking we're the next Perry Mason who can represent ourselves. We'll get creamed. Here's how Romney got creamed.
Have you noticed how Mitt tried to corner Obama in an antagonistic cross examination with the labeling of the Benghazi attack as an "act of terror," and Obama's "please proceed governor" is the type of language that the judge uses in a court of law after an objection has been over-ruled. I'm still chuckling over this. The wannabe Romney was over-ruled in the town hall forum by the defendant who then proceeded to play the role of the judge, with that "proceed governor," and then deferred to Ms. Crowley who became a courtroom stenographer at that moment, for validation and correction of his statements. And Mitt went down in flames. This had the feeling of Johnny Cochran in the OJ trial, 1995. with the glove that wouldn't fit. Yo, Mitt, the glove...it doesn't seem to fit Obama's hand. Why not ask the judge, Lance Itoh to try the glove on too! Hey, there's good courtroom procedure. Obama was masterful. Mittens was ludicrous. Don't try to be a lawyer Mitt. 13 th dimensional chess, indeed, Mr. President.
