Real Obama Revealed In Bumbling Debate Performance
Investor's Business Daily ^ | Oct 4, 2012 | IBD Editorial

Posted on 10/05/2012 9:50:22 AM PDT by Innovative

In 2008, the big media failed to look into Obama's background and weren't even interested in whether he was qualified to be president. He waltzed through the debates, with the liberal TV anchors and fellow candidates deferring to him. Republican candidate John McCain refused to hit Obama for his far-left beliefs, and halted his campaign when the financial crisis hit.

This was the first real debate Obama ever had with someone who dared to defend himself and to question not just Obama's ideas, but also his dismal economic record - the worst of any president in the postwar era.

And who is this real Barack Obama?

A man with a murky, leftist past who never ran anything in his life, and whose lackluster state and U.S. senatorial career is characterized by "voted present."

A man who distrusts business, the backbone of job creation, and seems to believe higher taxes and more government spending lead to greater economic growth - something no legitimate economist would agree with.

Perfect example of giving someone a job purely because of the color of their skin.

For the first time, Americans saw the real Barack Obama — not the one the media invented, elevated and subsequently protected from all scrutiny.

Obama is finally exposed as the empty suit he is. The Manchurian Candidate who has been maneuvered into place as the result of a conspiracy stretching back decades and involving communists, Chicago thug radicals, and certain Saudis.

“A man with a murky, leftist past who never ran anything in his life, and whose lackluster state and U.S. senatorial career is characterized by “voted present.” “

The voting public knew little for sure about “O”, but what we DID know was negative in the extreme. No Conservative candidate on earth could have survived 10 minutes, if the same negative information was even HINTED about HIM!

In the end, we have “O” (or who ever he is) who got where he is by leap-frogging (legitmately or not) all and every basic prerequisite of professional politics, public life and personal credentials.

It was a lie from the giddy-up ... and then lies upon lies to cover the initial and most basic lie...”O” is NOT who he claims and NOT irreproachable in what we DO know about his identity!

Without a doubt, Obama’s Veil was Rent. There is no power on earth that will be able to mend it now. HE IS FINISHED.

Barry went to some of the best schools, he's been president for four years, for at least ten years he's been around some of the best educated people in the country. Mitt beat him because of Affirmative Action. Had Barry achieved his status on merit he'd have won easily.

Obama is the product of a ditzy professional student, his mother who had a thing for Black men...men who were activist against her country. Stanley Ann's parents were Socialists with low opinions of their Capitalist country...so the REAL Obama, raised a Muslim by his Black father's religion with a White mother who we are told was a Christian. Obama's comfort with Islam shows up in his college years and again as he goes around the world apologizing for what he perceives as a "wicked America". It is said it was Michelle who wanted to join Trinity United Church of Christ....sort of 'mov'in on up' The rest is a picture of a fractured human who has no idea of who or what he is or stands for except for his own ideas made up of perceptions from the above...and not to be overlooked, a proclivity for using other people's money....which it would seem, Obama feels is rightfully his. The community organizer and his wife's worth is well over $11 Million dollars and climbing....umm, ummm, ummmm!!!

Not so sure. If they can be bothered to vote again, he still has the black vote wrapped up. Heck, he may have it anyway as somebody else will vote Dem for each of them that doesn’t show up. In Chicago somebody else will vote Dem for them in 3 or 4 different polling places!

Throw in the illegals’ votes he just bought with his amnesty by any other name and the inevitable voter fraud and he may be tough to beat.

Just don’t see this as a slam dunk personally. The threatened riots for not letting the black man have his second term like all those old white men got to do. We do live in some interesting times.

You are right. How else can you explain Maxine Waters,
Marion Barry, Shelia Lee Jackson and Barney Frank? This
isn’t over at all.

Affirmative Action = the Soft Bigotry of Low Expectations.

What began as a noble idea to prevent discrimination has morphed into a program that pats the little non-white children on the head and says, “There, there dear. You are too stupid and lazy to work hard, so we’ll just let you pretend you are smart and get something without even trying. We know you can’t earn it on your own, so we will ‘help’ you.” This is what we end up with: a pResident who has no clue about anything, parties all the time, refuses to work, and who subsequently embarrassed himself and everyone connected to him on national t.v. with a viewership of over 60,000,000. If he wasn’t such a despicable person, I would feel sorry for him, but this is what happens when a person’s life is based on cheating.

From another thread:

The President has problems with short-term memory. In the debate, while he was answering Romney, he forgot most of what Romney had just said. His memory is so bad he even forgets the topic midsentence. That is why he rattles on. It is not a professorial contemplation of intricate questions, it is simply forgetting.

This memory problem is the reason he latched on to each hint Lehrer threw to him, simply repeating Lehrer's words, then getting off track while elaborating on them.

It doesn't matter if he comes out swinging the next time, he will still have trouble responding to a question and completing a sentence.

Romney's short-term memory is terrific. He was ticking off points, remembering who said what, and organizing Obama's ramblings for rebuttal ... just what was needed to overwhelm his befuddled opponent.

For a debate strategy, it's probably important to recognize that such problems of short-term memory often leave long-term memory, reasoning, and other aspects of intelligence completely intact.

The ‘Bell Curve’ strikes again. How much more can we afford ‘Affirmative Action’

Flunking out of Occidental, getting a fraudulent degree from Columbia, and having a free ride through Harvard isn’t preparation for a guy who doubled down on law and business in Harvard. Obama isn’t stupid, but he isn’t nearly as smart as the left has made him out to be, and he isn’t disciplined. Romney is well educated, intelligent and prepared by experience. Obama is a free ride guy. The left has little choice but opt for character assassination to fight Romney, because they can’t compete with him.

I can’t wait to see Ryan wipe the floor with the idiot.
