O’Malley’s Moment of Truth
June Smith
It finally happened: Martin told the truth. I heard him tell it Sunday morning on “Face the Nation”. When Bob Schieffer asked him if he “could
honestly say people are better off today than four years ago", O’Malley answered “No…” quickly adding “but that’s not the question for this election.”
That is the only truthful word I’ve heard O’Malley say since he
plunged into politics in 1991.
He then went on to "spin" his answer, blaming the Bush administration for the rise of
unemployment, the deficit, etc., praising Obama, and spent the rest of the weekend ‘splaining and
reversing his remarks.
Leaving “no” on the side of the road, O’Malley
took every available media opportunity to clarify his comment and spread
the word that “we need to continue to move forward”.
He’s lucky he’s not at one of the two
North Carolina Burn Centers for over-exposure to the key light, fill light and
kicker lighting techniques used in television productions.
Too bad Flip Flopping isn’t an Olympic
Event. He’d surely bring home the Gold.
But I digress...
O'Malley will be the opening act for
keynote speaker Julian Castro, the mayor San Antonio at the Convention Tuesday
night.
In his allotted five minutes, he said he’s going to “lay out some of
the themes of this upcoming choice in this campaign, the importance of moving
forward and not back.”
The Sun blogged that this “is arguably
the most important address the governor has given in years and it will be
parsed by those speculating about the possibility of O’Malley’s own
presidential campaign in 2016.”
He may need an extra hit of stage
makeup to cover the dilated superficial blood vessels in his red ear from what
he’s heard from the Democratic powers-that-be about his weekend gaffe.
Then again, maybe not.
He’s moved forward…

O'Malley has his feet in Maryland but his head faces DC. A presidential wannabee who will NEVER be president unless lying is the only criteria for the job. O'Malley has done some horrific things in his life and they will be uncovered in the event he seeks higher office. Even the left wing rag called the Baltimore Sun cannot coverup all his misdeeds.
