Obama says debate prep 'going great'
politico ^ | 10/14/12 | Reid J. Epstein

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. – President Obama is making no more jokes about how much he dislikes debate prep.

Asked by a reporter during a pop-in at a Williamsburg campaign office how his studying is going, the president responded with a quick: “It is going great!”

The difference is palpable compared to what he told supporters outside Las Vegas while studying for his calamitous Denver debate.

“Basically they're keeping me indoors all the time," Obama said then. "It's a drag. They're making me do my homework."

If Obama is interested in playing hooky from his debate practice -- where aide Anita Dunn is playing the role of Candy Crowley and Sen. John Kerry is reprising his role as Mitt Romney -- he doesn’t have to go far. The president’s hotel here, the posh Kingsmill Resort, is also hosting a Ferrari car show Sunday.

The day’s message from Team Obama continues the campaign’s vow of contrition from the first debate and vows to do better Tuesday night at Hofstra University on Long Island.

“The president is his own harshest critic and he knows Mitt Romney had a better night at the first debate,” campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki said. “The American people should expect to see a much more energized President Obama making a passionate case for why he is a better choice for the middle class.”

The funniest part of this is the very notion of John Kerry trying to present the arguments and views of a conservative Republican...and really roughing Obama up...yeah, right.

What “middle class” is he going for? The FoodStamp/ObamaPhone “middle class”? Surely, he isn’t going after the American taxpayer vote.

Did he go visit Colonial Williamsburg and get an ice cream cone like when he visited Hoover Dam during the last debate prep? If he isn’t the laziest president in history, please tell me who was...

So he’s spending 3 days try to learn what he should already know.

This has been the worst ‘OJT’ program ever.

Coaching a narcissist has got to be the most thankless job on earth, especially when the narcissist also happens to be the president.

The fact that the media even has to report on how his preparation is progressing is an embarrassment. Our president the idiot.

He has no teleprompter.

This debate isn’t about domestic policy.

Ergo he will fail again.

Could this be a Mitt soft spot Obama might exploit?

Obama spokesperson Jen Psaki, speaking on board Air Force One on Thursday:

“There’s only one candidate in this race who is going to continue to fight for Big Bird and Elmo, and he is riding on this plane.”

Well, fine, because he's sure not fighting for US.

Answer is? Nobody, except President Doofus.

“””The funniest part of this is the very notion of John Kerry trying to present the arguments and views of a conservative Republican.”””

Kerry pretending to be a conservative is almost as funny as romney pretending to be one. But they are both from the same state so maybe definitions are different there.

This debate is about foreign and domestic party. This debate will be fixed to help Obama shine. Count on it.

Why does the man need prep...he’s supposedly been doing the job for 4 years and he’s supposed to always be the smartest guy in the room. He’s supposed to know it all already.

He has to memorize the questions and his answers and be coached on how to appear as if he gives a damn.
