Team Obama Blames John Kerry for Debate Loss
breitbart.com ^ | 6 Oct 2012 | ALEXANDER MARLOW

From CBS's "This Morning":

Norah O'Donnell: "Some Democrats say [Obama's] campaign needs a wake-up call.  Bill Plante is here with that part of the story.  Bill, you've been talking to your sources; what are they saying?

Correspondent Bill Plante: "Well Norah, they're simply upset and really outraged.  They blame the President's team, first of all, for not preparing him to meet the challenge of an aggressive Mitt Romney.  They say that nobody in the room challenged him, including the guy that he was debating with, John Kerry, because, as they say, he wants to be Secretary of State so he's not going to get in the President's face. And Presidents are used to deference; they're not used to people challenging them like that.  So they think that the debate prep was terrible, but they also fault the President himself for not understanding that Romney was going to be more aggressive."

The 2012 Obama campaign continues to be a stark contrast from their 2008 effort.  In 2008, then Senator Obama used youthful ebullience, soaring rhetoric, and a precise campaign infrastructure to capture the hearts and minds of the American people.  In 2012, the President seems increasingly lethargic and quick to make excuses for missteps on the campaign trail.

What once was "Hope and Change" is now "Mope and Blame," and this time it's John Kerry under the President's bus.

There is much truth in your statement. Liberals are so caught up
in what they imagine conservatism to be that they really fail to
understand reality. I have an old friend who teaches high school
AP history. He and his wife live like conservatives but vote like libs.
He brags that he is so objective that students don’t know if he is
a Rep or a Dem. I asked him about his class resources for the
conservative POV and he actually mentioned the LA Times, News-
week, Time, etc. I told him it would take about a minute for an
adult garden variety conservative to poke a hole in his “objectiv-
ity”.

But, but we’ve been told that his IQ is off the charts, that he’s an excellent debater and gives a speech like no one else, blah, blah, blah. Why would he even consider a debate coach when he’s so perfect (/sarc)?

“HIS behind”...LOL! Maybe jarrett’s or moochie’s?

It is like trying to explain how cutting taxes INCREASES revenues to the government. it happens only every time it is tried. Starting with JFK, who I love to bring up to the libs.

Their beliefs are like religion. They know it to be true despite no empirical evidence to support their beliefs.

Don't insult the president. Yes, his IQ is off the charts. 0b0z0's IQ is unique to the "human" race. It's negative, therefore, it's off the charts.

Apparently, they are straight. If 0h0m0 leads from the Wookie's behind, BIG, hugh and series "accomplishments could be achieved. We probably would have been beyond Marxism and Communism, exploring new horizons of slaughtering the USA, their archenemy!

You just know Obama is going to overreach and overcompensate in the next debate. He won’t be able to help himself. Romney should practice facial expressions of embarrassment and allow Obama plenty of rope.

And, get the following words down pat, with the exact pitch and exasperation for effect...

“Here We Go Again”!

Rolling eyes would be good, but perceived to be RACIST, along the same line as “Good Morning, How are You, etc etc etc”
