Why Obama Will Lose All Three Debates
American Thinker ^ | 10-8-12 | Monty Pelerin

Posted on 10/08/2012 12:36:51 PM PDT by kingattax

President Obama had a terrible debate last week.

Supporters and opponents were shocked that he could be so off his game. They shouldn't have been. That they were indicates that they don't understand Obama's serious, likely insurmountable re-election problem.

Obama supporters and detractors expect the old Obama to show better form in the next debate.

But that is not going to happen! It cannot, because Obama's critical problem is not correctable.

The authors says that Obama is a “sound bite” president. True enough but imprecise. That “sound bite” is a modern term, Obama is a pre-modern Marxist ideologue spouting standard Marxist lines. That’s all there is to him, his whole reportoire.

Nevertheless, the MSM will never admit that he lost all three debates. No, this is like the old wrestling bouts at the Olympic Auditorium, with Johnny Red Shoes Dugan refereeing. In Wednesdays bad Roddy Piper would defeat and bloody our (this is L.A., remember) good Chavo Guerrero in a televised bout. But the revenge championship bout was to take on Saturday, and not be televised (children under 7 free admission.) Chavo would then emerge a winner, and of course worldwide champion once again. Until the next Wednesday.

Its a debate not a campaign screed..
A debate with people specifically set up and “orchestrated” to hamstring you..
OH!... in case you don’t know.. THEY KNOW HOW to do that..


Sure they will try to hamstring him, but I think he will keep on message
Which, to me, is a good one.

Mitt will talk to them in that audience , but his response will be for the rest
Of us who are not in attendance.

Have faith. I do.

The moderators will have their long knives out and the majority of the “folk” may be ringers, but Romney’s team trained him well.

My worry is that the town hall debate will be wall-to-wall abortion and gay marriage, with a little 'war on women' thrown in for good measure.

Unless Romney is really on his game, look for the moderator and the "folk" to kneecap him on the social issues while they circle the wagons around Zero.

Could be . Mitt will respectfully tell them he disagrees and keep his eye on the bigger prize. Those who don’t want the govt dolling out their dollars for
Someone else’s personal responsibility and decisions.

All he has to say on “gay marriage” is “It’s a state issue.”

As for abortion, his stance is “middle of the road”.

As for “war on women” he needs to say “War on women? Unemployment among women since obama took office is 25%. Working women need jobs. Sounds like the president is the one making war on women. Maybe he wants them to sit at home and bake cookies. I want them to be in the workforce with the same opportunity as men. In my 25 years of business experience I’ve hired (state a number) women as CEOs.”

we might remember the meeting around the table where Romney's running mate, Paul Ryan, though speaking courteously, challenged him on Obamacare by correcting him on the facts about what the American people wanted. Then there also is the courageous Israeli Prime Minister who displayed the qualities of an authentic leader in forthright remarks to the President while seated beside him in the White House press conference.

Good points. They reinforce my prediction that Bobo will melt down.

How in the world are they going to rewire Bobo's brain to accept give-and-take in such a short time?

PAST my time. When I was a lad I watched Freddie Blassie and Bobo Brazil.

BTW, I actually attended a boxing match at the Olympic when I was a teenager. I watched Ernie "Indian Red" Lopez beat the snot out some Japanese guy.

It will be a “you’re no Jack Kennedy” moment. The “lie” spin is the setup. Axelrod is employing the same tactics he used in for Paul Simon v. Percy in 1984.

Yeah, they are that desperate. Check out the parallels.

Iran having a bomb is not as bad as South Africa having the bomb. Iran is past due for a China-style paradigm shift. The Internet is transforming Iran (we have a lot of Iranian students on campus).

I bet Team Romney has war gamed that scenario as well as any others likely to develop. They will duck the sucker punch and turn it around on Obama in a way he doesn't anticipate. Romney will make the chair look like a jerk and do it with a winning smile on his face. Obama will be no wiser after his beating last week while Romney will have filed away useful info on his opponent. Romney will work harder and smarter to get ready. Obama will wait for his handlers to give him a secret weapon that doesn't exist.

“Rewiring” is not sufficient for the task. An infusion of knowledge, wisdom and understanding of history, plus a little of the moral philosopher Adam Smith’s understanding of wealth creation would just take toooo... long!
