CARLY ON THE BALL – AT 10:58 A.M. ET:  I don't know why Carly Fiorina has faded in the polls.  She is superb in debates – the best of all Republicans with the possible exception of Ted Cruz – and yet she has lost ground.  Pundits say she isn't warm and likeable, a hard woman.  I wasn't aware that we were electing a national mom.  But maybe that's what some people want. 

Carly shows how good she is by taking on the disgraceful behavior of our make-believe president in the aftermath of the Paris attacks.  I hope she stays in politics.  From the Washington Examiner: 

An infuriated Carly Fiorina slammed President Obama Wednesday morning for his latest criticism of Republicans, saying the president is "speaking in a way that's beneath his office."

While speaking to reporters in the Philippines Wednesday morning, Obama suggested that Republicans who oppose the intake of Syrian refugees "are scared of widows and orphans coming into the United States of America."

"At first, they were too scared of the press being too tough on them in the debates. Now they are scared of three-year-old orphans. That doesn't seem so tough to me," the president said, minutes after criticizing his opponents for "political posturing."

Reacting to Obama's comments just hours later, Fiorina told Fox News "it is outrageous that a sitting president, immediately following a terrorist attack where we know that ISIS is attempting to plan attacks here in the U.S., would use his time to attack Republicans."

"This is revealing of the fact that President Obama doesn't understand the nature of the attack," the Republican presidential hopeful said.

"I guess he's like Hillary Clinton [in that] he thinks Republicans are his enemies," Fiorina added, before declaring Obama a "politician, not a leader."

Host Martha MacCallum interjected, noting that Obama "clearly gets fired up about this issue."

"It's all he gets fired up about," Fiorina shot back.

COMMENT:  And of course she's right.  With Obama, it's all about him.  With Hillary, it's all about her.  The people of America are simply their subjects.

We need more Carly.  Even if she doesn't make it onto the national ticket, I hope there's a place for her in high-level politics.
