Ol Mitt hasn't even been sworn in yet and already he's managed to shoot off his mouth in an opening salvo against the President's character. Lest he should forget, Donald J Trump was elected to the office that Mutt once wanted so badly, garnering 63 million votes. But in his losing attempt after winning the first 2012 Presidential debate, Romney looked small and stammering against Obama for the remainder of the campaign, which by all accounts was his to lose. And he did just that in epic fashion.

The as yet unsworn Junior Senator Rinomney, made this offering to todays' edition of the disgraceful Washington Post; [SIZE="3"]"The Trump presidency made a deep descent in December. The departures of Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and White House Chief of Staff John F. Kelly, the appointment of senior persons of lesser experience, the abandonment of allies who fight beside us, and the president’s thoughtless claim that America has long been a “sucker” in world affairs all defined his presidency down.

It is well known that Donald Trump was not my choice for the Republican presidential nomination. After he became the nominee, I hoped his campaign would refrain from resentment and name-calling. It did not. When he won the election, I hoped he would rise to the occasion. His early appointments of Rex Tillerson, Jeff Sessions, Nikki Haley, Gary Cohn, H.R. McMaster, Kelly and Mattis were encouraging. But, on balance, his conduct over the past two years, particularly his actions last month, is evidence that the president has not risen to the mantle of the office."[/SIZE]

Let me remind Mr Romney of a few historical facts. President Jimmy Carter once said he'd gotten his "feelings hurt" when Brezhnev left him hanging on SALT. President Bill Clinton allowed the rise of terrorism in general, and the rise of Osama bin Laden in particular. Which in turn BTW, led to nearly 4,000 American deaths, trillions of dollars worth of market loss and war. Then we get Barack Obama who failed this nation, every thing, and every body except special interest groups. Oh and FWIW, the rise of China, North Korea, and the resurgence of Russia. All uncontested. This President is trying to pull already earned victory, back out of the jaws of defeat.

And here at one time I thought the man had a measure of integrity.
