The weakest President since Jimmy Carter, the "man" who won the Olympic gold medal for Flexibility to Foreign Leaders, mocked the GOP candidates for their response to what is widely accepted as an astonishingly inept and biased set of debate moderators. Obama sneered:
"Let me tell you, if you can't handle those guys then I don't think the Chinese and the Russians are going to be too worried about it."Ha ha ha, cooed the idiots in the audience. A couple of things about that. Firstly, the GOP candidates handled the left wing CBNC stooges beautifully. The candidates successfully put the spotlight on the obvious bias as well as on the pathetic set of questions offered by the moderators. They accomplished what up to now no one has been able to do- solidify the party and even get support from the left.
Obviously, the intent of the left was another food fight meant to cause personal attacks among the candidates and prevent them from voicing their stances on the issues. It could not have gone more wrong for the CNBC flacks. Having watched John Harwood's moderate mask slowly decay off over the last several years to reveal the hard left winger he really is, I especially enjoyed seeing him hammered.
But that's one thing. Let's crank up the Wayback Machine and have a look at Barack Obama's history of facing the enemy. Back in 2007, the President who has become Putin's b*tch refused to appear on a Fox News Presidential debate:
ABC News' Jake Tapper Reports: Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, will be the second Democratic presidential candidate to boycott a proposed debate to be broadcast by Fox News Channel.A month earlier Roger Ailes said:"CNN seems to be a more appropriate host," an Obama campaign aide tells ABC News.
"Any candidate for high office from either party who believes he can blacklist any news organization is making a terrible mistake about journalist."Obama wasn't alone in his fear:"Pressure groups are forcing candidates to conclude that the best strategy for journalists is divide and conquer, to only appear on those networks and venues that give them favorable coverage," Ailes said, adding that any candidate "who cannot answer direct, simple, even tough questions from any journalist runs a real risk of losing the voters."
Yesterday, Chris Dodd and Bill Richardson became the latest Democratic presidential candidates to decide that they will not participate in this fall's Fox News Channel debate, which is co-sponsored by the Congressional Black Caucus.Someone named Hillary Clinton was also afraid to appear on Fox.

LIke I said when this was posted earlier. It seems to me that our people “Man” handled the moderators nicely.
This is a guy who refuses to go on any conservative talk show host like Hannity, or Levin, Greta or The Five.
This guy is a joke.
If Rush, Levin and Hannity were moderators of a rat debate, they wouldn’t have to do anything other than ask straightforward questions.
Rush: “Senator Sanders, how will you lower the deficit?”
Sanders: “Once again, the right wing attack hounds go after us when we are trying to have a serious debate about what is good for America.”
Clinton: “This is a right wing conspiracy loaded with gotcha questions. We need to hold them accountable.”
Hannity: “On the Middle East. Ms. Clinton, how would you de-escalate tensions there?”
Clinton: “Well, once again the right wing media complex is determined to take down American loving candidates who are trying to help Americans.”
Sanders: “This is a conspiracy of epic proportions. Not only is Hannity a right winger, but his question bears no meaning on how we will resolve real issues.”
Levin: “Ms. Clinton, Senator Sanders has declared himself a Socialist who believes America needs to be run by a central government. Based on the exact same answers the two of you are given, can’t it be assumed that you too are a Socialist?”
Clinton: “Sexist!”
Sanders: “Racist!”
Sissy dems are incapable of understanding what happened at the debate. Their lackeys were completely annihilated. The MSM was utterly destroyed and with it the progressive movement as well as the GOPe.
How many Fox News Debates did 0, or Hillary Clinton, take part in?
This from a guy who got a REAL question on 60 MINUTES (for once) and got all ... petulant.
I miss Bob Novak.
He’s so shattered the norms of how a leader is supposed to act. The other party’s process is none of your business. So butt out, a-hole (with all due respect.)
Actually, the GOP candidates handled them more effectively than I have ever seen. They attacked. They did not accept the premise that news anchors are decent people who should receive polite responses.
He's Gumby damn it!
President B.O. misses the irony of his BS every dang time.
If he had any introspection, self-awareness and humility he’d cover his head with a paper bag and hide in the WH LGBT-friendly bathroom.
Does he mean “shoot”? Because if he does, I’d pay to see Trump do that!
Enjoy it while it lasts, Ruskies
