			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.freestrongamerica.com/pa/ge/55/learn-about-mitt""target=_blank">Mitt Romney</a> addressed <a href="http://cpac.org/""target=_blank">CPAC</a> yesterday in a well-delivered and well-received speech. Romney has been embraced by CPAC the last few years and <a href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0210/33161.html""target=_blank">this year is no exception</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Below are my favorite sound bites, mostly because of the mouth-watering red meat. Bon appetit! </strong></p>
<p>Just when everyone thinks Mitt is going to mention his encounter with the man on the airplane during he and his wife Ann&#8217;s <a href="http://www.theglobeandmail.com/blogs/bureau-blog/romney-threatened-by-air-canada-passenger/article1469196/""target=_blank">return trip from the Winter Olympics in Vancouver</a>, he takes a sharp turn and lands a power punch:</p>

<p><strong>Romney then gives a shout-out to Massachusetts and the victory of <a href="http://theladypatriot.com/2010/01/19/massachusetts-this-browns-for-you/""target=_blank">Republican Scott Brown!</a></strong></p>

<p><strong>Then, like a teacher to his pupil, Romney reviews the failures of Obama&#8217;s first year and mocks his self-proclaimed grade of B+.</strong> The only thing that would have made his jab at Al Gore better is if he had replaced &#8220;the internet&#8221; with &#8220;global warming.&#8221; Romney has a way to go on unequivocally rejecting anthropogenic global warming <a href="http://www.americanthinker.com/2010/02/the_agw_smoking_gun.html""target=_blank">(AGW)</a> but maybe he&#8217;ll come around sooner rather than later. Time will certainly tell. At least he&#8217;s on record for being against Cap-and-Tax.</p>

<p><strong>Get my steak knife! Romney reminds us of Supreme Court Justice Sam Alito&#8217;s rebuke of President Obama during the State of the Union Address.</strong> If you haven&#8217;t watched <a href="http://hotair.com/archives/2010/01/27/not-true-alito-mouths-words-as-obama-hammers-supreme-court/""target=_blank">Alito mouthing the words &#8220;Not true&#8221;</a> over and over, you must. It&#8217;s finger licking good!</p>

<p><strong>If Obama truly thought he earned a B+ for his first year&#8217;s performance as Leader of the Free World, why does he need fall guys?</strong> Perhaps it&#8217;s a reflex of studying Saul Alinsky. Perhaps he&#8217;s hedging his bets. Either way, he needs to redirect attention off his unsuccessful first year. Romney wastes no time dismantling Obama&#8217;s excuses for his three favorite go-to blame game targets.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Target 1: Obama blames the GOP by calling them the Party of No. More like the Party of Saying No to the Wrong Things!</strong></li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li><strong>Target 2: Obama blames the American People, the very ones who elected him to the Presidency.</strong></li>
</ul>
<p><object id='cspan-video-player' classid='clsid:d27cdb6eae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000' codebase='http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0' align='middle' height='500' width='410'><param name='allowScriptAccess' value='true'/><param name='movie' value='http://www.c-spanvideo.org/videoLibrary/assets/swf/CSPANPlayer.swf?pid=292148-10&#038;start=1192&#038;end=1318'/><param name='quality' value='high'/><param name='bgcolor' value='#ffffff'/><param name='allowFullScreen' value='true'/><param name='flashvars' value='system=http://www.c-spanvideo.org/common/services/flashXml.php?programid=219791&#038;style=full&#038;start=1192&#038;end=1318'/><embed name='cspan-video-player' src='http://www.c-spanvideo.org/videoLibrary/assets/swf/CSPANPlayer.swf?pid=292148-10&#038;start=1192&#038;end=1318' base='http://www.c-spanvideo.org/videoLibrary/assets/swf/' allowScriptAccess='always' bgcolor='#ffffff' quality='high' allowFullScreen='true' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' pluginspage='http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer' flashvars='system=http://www.c-spanvideo.org/common/services/flashXml.php?programid=219791&#038;style=full&#038;start=1192&#038;end=1318' align='middle' height='500' width='410'></embed></object></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Target 3: Obama blames his predecessor. The current President falls back on the &#8220;Blame Bush&#8221; mantra with almost every breath and certainly as frequently as he utters &#8220;um&#8221; or &#8220;ah&#8221; when the TelePrompTer isn&#8217;t in use.</strong> Think about it. Invoking George W. Bush was toxic during the 2008 election. It didn&#8217;t take too long to realize Obama <strong>is</strong> worse than Bush and that change for the sake of change can win elections but change towards the wrong direction can wreck a country. Who would have thought one year ago we would be talking about a <a href="http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2010/02/miss_me_yet_billboard_mystery.html""target=_blank">&#8220;Miss Me Yet?&#8221;</a> billboard in Minnesota?<strong> Stay with this clip until the end as the mention of Dick Cheney receives a roar of applause!</li>

<p><strong>Invoking a birthday party game favorite of years past, Romney cuts through Obama&#8217;s long list of excuses and lays blame precisely where it belongs.</strong></p>

<p><strong>Now for the final morsel of meat, which I hope is the change we&#8217;re looking forward to in the 2010 and 2012 elections.</strong></p>
<p>(For the entire speech, visit <a href="http://www.c-spanarchives.org/program/292148-10""target=_blank">CSPAN</a>.) </p>
<p>It&#8217;s waaaay too early to tell but Hot Air has the latest PPP poll which shows Romney&#8217;s <a href="http://hotair.com/archives/2010/02/18/ppp-poll-romney-now-biggest-threat-to-obama-head-to-head/""target=_blank">slight edge</a> over Huckabee, Palin and Thune in a one-on-one matchup against Obama. I actually loathe the &#8220;Whose going to be the GOP&#8217;s 2012 candidate?&#8221; question this far away from the Presidential primaries but one thing we learned from Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton is that 2 years might be the new campaign standard. If that carries forward to 2012, make sure you have a DVR before then. You don&#8217;t want to be caught fast forward-less during campaign commercials! </p>
<p>Putting aside favorite Presidential hopefuls for now, I look forward to the day Mitt&#8217;s statement below rings true.</p>
