“The question for the Democrats is what they do next. Podhoretz repeats the party line, which is that Obama will do better in the next debate, then asks, “But how? By calling Romney a liar? Does the Obama team think Romney will have no effective response to that accusation in the next two debates?””
I was just talking about this with my wife.
For the left to say that Obama will “comeback”, he would have to have some measurable talents to utilize in order to do that.
Obama has always stunk at debates. He has had no real history of dominating them because the answers cannot be rehearsed and read off of a teleprompter.
On top of that he has had 6 years of people covering for him while Senator, as a candidate and as president. No one was allowed to question him, no one was allowed to openly challenge him, and the press made sure of that! He has no ability to defend himself by himself.
Obama’s supporters openly engaged in the scam that this guy was intelligent to the point that they forgot that it was a scam. That’s how good of a scam it was!
Both O, and all of the lefty flunkies went into the debate fully convinced of the BS they have passed back and forth for the past 4 years only to have it blow up in their face.
Oh dont get me wrong, the press and Axelrot were fully aware of how stupid this guy is, and THATS what the past month’s worth of attack press reports, saturation negative ads, and proclamations of a guaranteed Obama win were about. They wanted to run Romney down so hard that he would go into the debates stunned and cowering. That he would be so far back in the polls (rigged ones) that it would not matter what he did.
Well we know it failed totally. And I dont think Obama recovers at all. Again, recover with what?! People now see exactly how inept this guy was! Now the polls will have no choice but to stop trying to prop up Obama because the jig is up. The press will have to veer off of the narrative.
Sorry for the rambling. This stuff was sort of pouring out.
Don't kid yourself. Assuming Obama's performance is even a sliver better than in the first debate, the MSM will go bonkers over how well he did, how much improved he was, how presidential he seemed this time, ad nauseum.
Obama has set the bar so low, he could surmount it rolling over in his sleep.
