I thought the Wizard gave the brain to the scarecrow, not the munchkin!
Seriously though, this article screams “lowering expectations” for Zero’s debate performance. He’s comin’ undone.
All the moderators are closet 0bama loyalists. The deck is stacked against him!
I miss Newt!
I hear Obama will be using a micro teleprompter on a contact lens. Obama will receive his thoughts in large print.
OMG, we are really in trouble now. Robert Reich is never right.
Same thing with Joe "Mouth Breather" Biden.
It's the first shot of the narrative.
Obama is the most over-rated extemporaneous speaker in the history of American politics.
He sucks off the cuff, in interviews, in debate, and off the teleprompter.
The liberal media is what turned him into a supposed speaking genius.
Mitt has been through the wringer for so long, he is battle hardened.
Those primaries were not exactly easy.
As I recall, Obama actually did quite well in the 2008 debates for both the primary and general elections.
Reasons - He speaks like a snake oil salesman, makes facts up on the spot and the media protects him and covers for him.
It is only the day after the debate that his bogus “facts” are challenged but that is too late. People who watched the debate are left with the impression that Obama had a grasp of the facts during the debate.
And anyone trying to correct the record after the debate is treated with disdain by the media, who always do their best to ridicule them and make their corrections seem like sour grapes.

Oh come on, Reich. We all know he is a deep thinker and a brilliant orator who will mop the floor with Romney. Just examine the evidence:
June 5, 2008 (off teleprompter): “What they’ll say is, ‘Well it costs too much money,’ but you know what? It would cost, about... It it would cost about the same as what we would spend. It... Over the course of 10 years it would cost what it would costs us. (nervous laugh) All right. Okay. We’re going to do it. It would cost us about the same as it would cost for about... hold on one second. I can’t hear myself. But I’m glad you’re fired up, though. I’m glad.”
June 8, 2008: “Everybody knows that it makes no sense that you send a kid to the emergency room for a treatable illness like asthma, they end up taking up a hospital bed, it costs, when, if you, they just gave, you gave them treatment early and they got some treatment, and a, a breathalyzer, or inhalator, not a breathalyzer. I haven’t had much sleep in the last 48 hours.”
June 2009: “Maybe you’re better off to tell your mother to take a pill, take a painkiller.”
June 2012: “Now, before I finish, can I say, by the way, that some of you have been standing for a while and I see a couple folks slumping down a little bit. Make sure you’re drinking water. Bend your knees. Don’t stand up too straight. The paralegals will be — the paralegals? You don’t need lawyers. The paramedics will be coming by, so just give folks a little bit of room, they’ll be fine. This happens at every event.”
Obama has ONE BIG FAT advantage - the moderators will all be liberals... and to a person they hate Republicans. I’m sure they’ll take care of Obama.
What’s this? Is the tiny one trying to lower our expectations for Obama so when he manages to just sound barely competent, it can be described as a victory?
Wooden? Obama is AlGores son? Does Tipper know?
The MSM have tried to fix these debates with far left moderators. Romney and Ryan should handle the questions as jumping off points as in...”well, your question reminds me of.....”
or
“Well, to the question you asked the President, I think...”
I wish someone would squash this repulsive little bug. He’s a lousy little left-over socialist from the Clinton era.
Shorty is right but the republicans will allow all the lefty so called commentators to control the debate, throw hard balls at romney and flowers at zero
Has the obamamedia declared Barak the winner yet?
Pray for America
After Gov Palin’s endorsement of Romney, he should somehow bungle through to the presidency...
