Wall Street Journal States The Obvious: 2012 Elections Tainted

I do take exception to this editorial. Lance Armstrong might have cheated but Mark McGwire did not. McGwire might have used performance enhancers but he did so at a time when they were not prohibited. We loved your towering home runs, Mark. MLB owes you.

The analogy breaks down quickly. Obama's 2012 election performance was not performance-enhanced. He had one million fewer votes than in 2008. A better analogy would be Tonya Harding and her band of thugs kneecapping Nancy Kerrigan.

If Barack Obama were an athlete, he would not be Mark McGwire or Lance Armstrong. He would be Tonya Harding.
