Obama says all-day debate prep "is a drag"

LAS VEGAS Even at a resort hotel, President Obama says spending all day prepping for a debate "is a drag."

"They're making me do my homework," he said in a phone call with a political volunteer during a visit to his campaign field office in Henderson, about a 30-minute drive from his debate camp at Lake Las Vegas.

He said the debate preparation was going great, but "basically they're keeping me indoors all the time."

But they did allow him to take a break and drop by his local campaign storefront. He walked in with six pizzas as a way of saying thanks to the 20 or so volunteers there.

"I know everybody has been working really hard," he said, though he mistakenly said there were 34 days left to the campaign. His volunteers knew there were 36 days left.

"Whatever it is," he said, "it's really coming up quick." He said the race in Nevada was going to be "be close all across the country."

Can Romney redefine himself in this week's debate? Obama holds slight lead ahead of debate Obama camp plays down debate expectations Let the debates begin He also sounded like he was worried about some kind of October surprise surfacing during this month.

"There are going to be a number of other things we can't expect over the next couple of weeks," he said. He didn't elaborate, but he delivered a decidedly optimistic refrain.

6 pizzas for 20 people, that’s about right.

550 calories per plate

Dear pResident Obama;

I have a great idea that will cement your support from a particular demographic and secure their votes for you in November! Not only will it do that, it will liven the debates considerably, give them an air of excitement and innovation, and totally disrupt and outrage your opponent, thus giving you a distinct edge in the area of spontaneous articulation, where perhaps your limited capacity might handicap you.

Instead of the debate being a drag, I suggest you APPEAR in DRAG, the more outrageous, the better.

This will endear you to the greatest majority of voters, for as you well know, scientists say that at LEAST 80% of voting-age Americans are REALLY Homosexual, but suppress these completely natural tendencies under a guise of clinging to their guns and religion. By setting an example, you will FREE these poor misguided unfortunates from the delusion that they must vote for a decent, monogamous, religious white male!

I strongly suggest that you consider my sage advice, as I am a well respected Rock Musician and Biker. (Also I have an Hispanic Screen Name on Free Republic)

Sincerely
ML/LTOS
(El Kabong)

BINGO!

By hook or crook, Ubama is confident of the outcome.

Either knowing the questions in advance and/or having a hidden earpiece and fed the answers during the debate.

Once again, HE DOE NOT LIKE THE JOB. He likes the perks. He has zero interest in the actual hard work.

“They” are making him do this. “They” are making him do that.
“They” are letting him do this.

I miss the days when the president was the man actually in charge.

Guess that is why he picked a hotel with the best golf course in Vegas. After Nov he can take a long vacation.

I think you may be right. The MSM will have him covered.

I also think the O camp is lowering expectations for Obama so that they can later say “see, O didn’t even have to try hard and he still won the debate”.

Just because we all know Obama will be declared the winner no matter how bad he is.

Disagree.

The media reacted to Reagan like they reacted to Thatcher - with absolute merciless hatred: morning, noon and night.

All that, and there was no internet in those days.

Come on what is so difficult about memorizing the debate questions the media has already leaked to him? All he needs to do is practice looking like he doesn’t know what question is next.

“I think this debate will be the beginning of the end for this lout.”

Lets hope so; but also don't underestimate the lack of intelligence of the voting public.

“Wait, wait. I thought Obama was so smart.”

That’s right. All the sudden expectations are lowered. Obama is just an “Ok” debater. His handlers are probably shaking in their shoes over just the thought of no teleprompter.

I wouldn’t be motivated to study for an exam, much less a debate either IF I already knew the answers or questions....

I remember how it was during the Reagan years. It is worse now, because the media doesn’t even pretend now to have a modicum of objectivity.

Yeah, Barak. It’s a drag. Skip it. You’re so brilliant and he’s so stupid you’ll destroy him without even breathing hard. Just go shoot some golf and one-on-one some B-ball with one of your Secret Service guards. You’re so beyond all us mere mortals, you can’t possibly lose./s

BTW, /s means sincerely.

Heheheheheh.
