| Tell 'Em Like it Is: John! |
Romney Surrogate and campaign chairman John Sununu, the
former Governor of New Hampshire and former chief of staff under George H . W.
Bush, knows how to crush the “Mainstream Media” in interview after interview. He
is like New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, but without the weight gain or the
heavily Democratic state legislature to make nice with. This guy rips up every
reporter who toes the liberal-statist-Democratic line.
Former Governor John Sununu lambastes the Obama
Administration for stupid remarks and dumb campaign moves. He throttles the fawning
liberal agenda of journalists who act as surrogates for the President, even
though they are supposed to advance fair and balanced reporting. He also made
some savvy predictions about the campaign.
After the New Hampshire primaries, Sununu sparred with
Chris Matthews. About the fight over the Super-PACs blasting negative ads,
Sununu scolded Matthews and his panel: “You guys are reveling and wallowing” in
ridiculous perceptions of what can and cannot be done. “Stop being ridiculous,
and get to the point! Talk about the issues!” Then he fired at them: “You have
an agenda that you want to drive.” Finally, someone is telling Big Media to its
face to back off! “You’re guy Obama. . .” he also alluded. Sununu rebuked them
for digging for dirt in Romney’s private sector career and his political
record.
With Larry O’Donnell,
the New Hampshire Governor trashed his attempt to display Romney as losing
steam. “You’re grasping at straws”, Sununu claimed, trying to tie Bush Senior
and Romney’s campaign together. “You can’t resist it can you. Bush was an incumbent
– there is no parallel with the primary and the general election”. Then Sununu
added that unlike Bush Sr., Romney was running against “an absolutely incompetent
President”. Sununu also identified early that Obama was going to run a negative
campaign because he had no record to run on.
With Rachel
Maddow Sununu predicted that Perry’s and Gingrich’s attacks
against Romney’s record as a venture capitalist would haunt them later.
Regarding these “socialist attacks: “I’m saying that the tone of these attacks
don’t sound like their Republican – they sound like they are coming out of the
Left wing.” Sununu hit the nail on the head. Conservative cartoonists and
columnists were startled by these attacks on Romney’s business record.
Capitalism is just as much about creative destruction as well as job creation.
Unlike the other GOP candidates, Romney had a real record to run on.
In April, in another head-to-head Chris Matthews, Sununu maintained the difference between Ryan and
Romney’s budget, without dismissing Ryan’s efforts and while promoting Romney’s
candidacy. “Here’s your problem – you guys don’t understand that there is a guy
at the top of the ticket!” Sununu kept turning every issue back to Obama’s
frequently failures – this guy is like Newt Gingrich without the frequent
infidelities!
With
Soledad O’Brien on May 30, 2012, Governor Sununu took control from the
outset. O’Brien wanted to tie Donald Trump’s outrageous views to Romney in order to tarnish his recent clinching the
GOP nomination. “Why is CNN so fixated on this? Why don’t we talk about the jobs
issue in this country? You had Donald Trump on last night.” I loved how the
governor then tied foul-mouthed Bill Maher to President Obama. “Aren’t you
embarrassed to be speaking directly from the Obama talking points?” In another
match-up with Soledad
O’Brien, Sununu chided the reporter: “Put an
Obama bumper sticker on your forehead.” Indeed, these reporters can’t get
anything past this guy!
With FOX News’ Martha MacCallum
in July, Sununu then blasted Obama for his fallacious felony accusations
against Romney. Finally, someone is not afraid to remind the public of Obama’s
dubious past, connections with Tony Resko, convicted felony former Governor Rod
Blagojevich, and domestic terrorist Bill Ayers. Sununu then denounced Obama’s
dumb ideas and campaign strategies. “Politician and felony are almost synonymous”
in Chicago politics – Ouch! Not letting up, the former governor also brought up
Obama’s lack of business experience. Not
a dull pause!
With Juan
Williams, John Sununu upbraided the contributor’s character assassination
about Romney’s signatures for Bain Capital. Once again, the governor attacked
Barack “Chicago Machine” Obama for bringing up the term “felony”, but his
indictment against Williams was priceless: “Don’t let your blind loyalty to
this President make you so foolish.” President Obama has been engaged in empty character
assassination– incompetent and dishonest. He has failed the American voters.
However, Sununu’s greatest hit was with Andrea Mitchell. The
discussion started over outsourcing, in which she tired to paint Romney as the
job-killer, but Sununu swept in reminding her of all the green tech jobs overseas.
Once again, Sununu took Obama to task over dishonest messages: “I’m Barack
Obama, and I approve this dishonesty!” Mitchell fumbled to respond, on camera: “You’re struggling, Andrea. You’re struggling!”
Sununu laughed. This guy is great!
Bob Schieffer or George Stephanopoulos should interview Sununu.
He would make mincemeat out of them! Governor Mitt Romney should thank God that
the “Live Free or Die” Granite State bestowed the mouth and mission of John
Sununu on the United States!
Thank You, New Hampshire, for Governor John Sununu!
