When I wrote my “Tweed” blog last night, I never dreamed that things could change so soon. These terrorist attacks in France are going to dramatically shake up the Presidential race.
The Democratic debate scheduled for tomorrow night was designed to showcase Hillary Clinton. The fix was in. The CBS moderator coordinated with the campaigns of the three candidates so that he could dive deep on major issues like income inequality, gun control, the death penalty and raising taxes on the rich. Good luck with that now! I wouldn’t be surprised if the DNC tries to postpone the debate.
Democrats only have one option; blame everything on George W. Bush. They will also demand gun control, conveniently ignoring the fact that France has some of the strictest gun control laws in the world.
This is a signal event. This is too awful to ignore and everyone watching this knows we could be next. There isn’t enough Democratic spin in the world to cover this mess. In the ultimate Irony, Al Gore is hosting a 24 hour webcast from the Eiffel Tower to warn everyone about the dangers of global warming. You can’t make this stuff up. Way to go Al!
It gets worse. Here is part of President Obama’s statement:
I don’t want to speculate at this point in terms of who was responsible for this.
No doubt the Obama administration was desperately hoping this was some Tea Party members vacationing in Paris. If not that, at least some white Christians from somewhere. But, sadly, it turns out, gasp, that these are Muslim extremists with direct ties to ISIS.
Abraham Lincoln famously said:
You can fool all of the people some of the time and some of the people all of the time but you cannot fool all the people all the time.
Democrats are rapidly running out of fools.

Couldnt be better timing. Now if the moderators have any guts we might learn something
Hope this is a game changer; just heard Pres Hollande ha closed the borders; hope this stops the 150k Syrians from coing into our country…..
