Prez ‘crushed’ by Romney

Howie Carr

If last night’s debate was a prizefight, it would have been stopped at 9:25 p.m.

I had a feeling Obama might have a problem when I heard he was using John Kerry as his Mitt Romney stand-in. If that was the best Liveshot could do getting Barack ready for Mitt, he should be fired this morning even before Bobby Valentine gets his walking papers.

Did you notice how Obama kept looking away from Romney? It took a while to figure out who he was looking for, but then I realized — it was TOTUS, his missing TelePrompTer of the United States.

No one should ever use the words “cerebral” and “Barack” in the same sentence ever again. He bragged about cutting taxes $3,600 for middle-class families — “maybe they can buy a new car.”

And they said George H.W. Bush was out of touch!

It wasn’t just that Romney was smart. It was that Barack was revealed as a clueless dolt...

I thought for sure that they would have stuck a wireless earpiece in Zer0’s ear to be coached for the answers. I also thought he would have had the questions in advance to practice his answers. But no, Mitt had him so far off his game that no amount of tricks would have helped. Zer0 was on his own and he wandered around in circles with his answers. He was a man without his teleprompter wandering around in the desert like a man without his horse.


Perfect summation. Zer0 was completely naked without Totus.

Each debate is to focused on agreed upon topics. Tonight’s topic was the economy. I do not know what the next debate’s topic is, but the third debate will be on ‘foreign policy’.

Jim Lerher said it best, "Mr Obama, your ten seconds is up."

I was hoping that the Vaudevelle hook would come out and jerk this Presidential imposter off the stage. His ten seconds should have been up long ago.

...and not just because Romney would repeat me after I yelled at the tv a few times.

LOL! Same here.

I think with a lot of focus on how all the selected moderators are known liberal lefties, Lehrer tried his best to not seem all that "leftie". It looks like the Romney people prepared for an all out assault from Zero and Lehrer and forced them both into a tactical retreat. This is a battlefield victory!

obama just had to get in a personal dig on a citizen. That’s how he is. Trump will probably jump on that one and rightly so.

WOW! Did Howie Carr from the Boston Herald just rip 0dumb0 a new one or not? Read these zingers from the mainstream media! Incredible!! I love it!!!

"Did you notice how Obama kept looking away from Romney? It took a while to figure out who he was looking for, but then I realized — it was TOTUS, his missing TelePrompTer of the United States."

"No one should ever use the words “cerebral” and “Barack” in the same sentence ever again. He bragged about cutting taxes $3,600 for middle-class families — “maybe they can buy a new car.”

"And they said George H.W. Bush was out of touch!"

"It wasn’t just that Romney was smart. It was that Barack was revealed as a clueless dolt. Even MSNBC and The New York Times [NYT] won’t be able to put this Humpty Dumpty back together again. There’s only one possible excuse Barack can use today: “George Bush’s dog ate my homework!”

"Consider the teacher he met in Nevada. She had 42 students and the textbooks were 10 years old. This was the best Barack Obama could come up with?"

"To use one of Romney’s favorite words last night, he crushed Obama. I think this may have been the first time Barack Obama had ever really been challenged. He brings up that traditional Democrat bloody shirt, oil subsidies, and Mitt just picks up a Louisville Slugger and lands one on his head."

.
Once again... Incredible!!!

If you are going to say that taxes have gone down on small business...I am going to call you a f*n liar.

I think at one point during the debate Barack Hussein Obama did claim 18 tax cuts for small business during his tenure.

But whatever number they’re touting, it’s bogus.

In fact, if you look at Obama’s list, you quickly realize that all but four have either expired or will soon expire, aren’t cuts at all, or are double-counted. And the rest are pretty much worthless.

For example, Obama still counts tax cuts that have already expired. The tax credit for hiring unemployed workers, enacted as part of the so-called HIRE act in 2010, is gone. So too is the break for estimated tax payments and the expanded deduction of health care expenses for the self-employed.

“Jim ole boy, your in a fix now...it’s time to start spending your days at the horse track. No invite to Dan Rather’s house.”

Not to worry, Lerher looked like a corpse anyway!

I know what I pay in taxes and that was a f*n lie.

Moral of that story: all “rich” guys are not equally endowed with smarts.

Kerry is not rich. He never made an honest dime in his life. He has to ask Mommy for money whenever he wants a new toy.

NATO ally Turkey just shelled Syria. If you are Assad and watched this debate, you’ve got to be thinking that anywhere away from Damascus and far underground looks good for the next few months.

“No invite to Dan Rather’s house.”

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

The Democrat party is the party of lies, and what became clear tonight is that Ubama is simply a terrible liar. Is it any wonder the rats still fawn over that guy who got impeached and disbarred for lying in court, had an affair with an intern young enough to be his daughter, and jerked off in the Oval Office sink? Clinton was a “very good liar”*.

(* Bob Kerrey, D-Nebraska)

Meanwhile, Bill and Hillary are making a lot of phone calls as they gear up for ‘16...
