I haven't heard many in the media mention this bit of irony, but upon hearing that the third and final presidential debate will be held in Boca Raton, Florida on Monday, I busted out laughing.
Why did I find this bit of news so funny? That's because in the third and final debate, about two weeks prior to the election, will be held in Boca Raton, where Mitt Romney provided his donors and via a leaked audio tape, millions of Americans, his 47% comments. That's right - "47%" took place in Boca Raton, Florida.
How perfect is that? This sounds too good to be true. While the debate will largely focus on foreign policy, it'd be a crime if the "47%" comments weren't mentioned at least once. Obama has been handed a golden opportunity. If and when Romney attacks him for his bowling skills or whatever is on his mind at the moment, the president can simply respond with, "That reminds me. I love Boca Raton. I think you do too, don't you, Governor Romney? As a matter of fact, he loves this place so much, that he held a private meeting here with some donors back in May, where he said that it wasn't his job to worry about the 47% of Americans whom don't pay federal income taxes - going on to say they're irresponsible and will vote for me no matter what he said or did. That, of course, isn't true. The fact of the matter is, I love Boca Raton, Florida, and no matter who anyone votes for or how much money they make, I will represent them as President of the United States of American - not 53% of you, like Governor Romney, but 100% of you."
Ah, it's like poetry.
