Happy sporting results must take back seat

I want to begin with sports.  I really do. On a Tuesday night in September the stunning Orioles moved back into first after routing Tampa Bay while the Yankees were losing to the Red Sox.  In College Park, No. 2 or 3 Maryland (depending on the poll you follow) surged late to shake off upset minded UMBC, 3-1, while top ranked North Carolina lost in its first road game of the season.  The Dukes of James Madison stunned the Heels, 2-1, in Harrisonburg, Va.  Meanwhile, back in Baltimore, the town is still buzzing about the smash-mouth Ravens and their 41-13 rout of the Bengals, a team many thought would challenge Baltimore for the AFC North Title.  That result, coupled with losses by Pittsburgh and Cleveland, has staked the Ravens to an early sole possession of first place and solid one game lead on the rest of the division.  But how can anyone dwell on such pleasant past times when the news from the nation's capital and other world cities is so stunning.

There are reports tonight that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu - only weeks away from giving the go ahead to an attack on Iran and its nuclear program - has requested an emergency meeting with obama during his trip to the UN later this month.  And amazingly obama has said no.  Among the things clogging obama's schedule during the Israeli leader's trip is an appearance on Letterman.  But even if he was meeting with the defense secretary and congressional leaders, he needed to make time for Mr. Netanyahu.  Over there, the Muslim Brotherhood has installed governments in Egypt and Libya and is circling for the kill in Syria.  Weapons are being shipped through Iraq - where obama cut and ran way too soon - to Syria.  Americans are being pummeled in public, both literally and figuratively.  The American ambassador to Libya has been butchered.

Governor Romney criticized obama for something or the other - the list of things to berate obama about is book length - today and Mainstream media ganged up on him.  How useless are these people.  They are ganging up on the one competent person who is trying to be president for what reason?  They want obama to be elected again.  Really?  Would they let a blind surgeon operate on their brain?  You cannot be any worse than obama, and the genius brigade wants him in again.  Egads!  Anyway, somebody turned a tape recorder on while these people were plotting to embarrass Gov. Romney.  Talk about a bunch of...just fill in the blank.  Total humiliation.  Some female is heard telling some other "journalists," you do this and that way he'll have to answer.  Someone explain to me why Romney even lets them get near him.  Have you seen the way they acted when he went to Europe.  Have you seen these soccer hooligans when they're drunk?  One conservative, on hearing the tape of this disgraceful behavior, wondered if they'd ask obama how he screwed up in Egypt and Libya and Syria, laying a red carpet down for the Muslim Brotherhood.  Well of course not.  But they sure did ask Romney some nasty questions.
