Why Obama is likely to blow the second debate too

They are going to have to talk to the audience and answer its questions not directly confront each other.

"President Obama, are you as wonderful as we think you are?"

"President Obama, is there any you are unable to do?"

"President Obama, we just think you are adorable 'eye candy.' Don't you agree?"

Bring me that imbecile Axelrod ... Axelrod! Axelrod! Axelrod!

[eyedigress]

Axelrod not about to get on that Amtrak.

[Persevero]

It’s sort of like the sentiment, “Don’t pee on my leg and tell me it’s raining.”

He’ll go on about how he helps the poor, jobs are up, housing is up, our foreign relations are just great, the government is solvent. . .

and we all sit there listening and saying “Not really, no.”

[verga]

Romney needs to say one thing when Benghazi comes up: "Mr. President when are you going to take responsibility for even one thing during your administration? You have blamed President Bush for the economy, but added 6 trillion more in debt, Our credit rating has been down graded. You have not accepted any responsibility for Fast and Furious. When are you going to stand up and be a leader?"

Debate over, Game set match Romney

[Tex-Con-Man]

This is a townhall for the “undecideds”...the polidiots.

There is a high potential for remarkably stupid pop culture questions. This would be a strength for Obama and Romney's Achilles heel. No matter it's utter irrelevance to presidential politics, it could make Mitt look “out of touch”. Spin fodder for Axelrod.

[Persevero]

“I have never seen a man more able to keep his cool than Mitt.”

He is definitely a natural born CEO. You can see why he has been as successful as he is. He just handles himself really well.

BO will attempt a cool blend of authoritative, hip assertiveness. Without a teleprompter- channeling his community organizer days when he had to deflect some hostility in the crowd and steer them around to his profound, ethereal rap.

Romney, no doubt has had to face stockholder meetings with some similar antagonism.

My money is on Romney. He is mentally agile, unlike his scripted opponent.

Obama played a few notes in this kind of arena years ago, but his extemporaneous violin will be out of tune, I suspect- he’s been surrounded by adoration. That’s why he avoids confrontational press conferences, etc., but is at home on the View and other such pablum.

Romney is up for the challenge, not driven by a personal desire to maintain a wealthy lifestyle, not messianic in his self-view.

IMHO.

[Revolting cat!]

Don't try to apply logic and sense to these spectacles. (The author seems to have a clue if you read to the end, though he doesn't express it as I will.) The debates are theater, cheap theater at that, like pro wrestling. They are not intended for intellectual heavyweights. Obumster is going to come on like Olivier in a Shakespeare play, you just watch and see, and Romney had better be prepared. It's gonna be Roddy Piper (bad guy Romney) against our boy Chavo Guerrero (the other guy.)

[Rembrandt]

Even liberals are getting skeptical of Obama. If Miss Piggy tosses softballs to the O, I think liberals will interpret this as “she’s doing that because he can’t handle the tough questions.”

[Hardraade]

The Democrat dementia isn’t going away, and we’re just waiting for Obama with the popcorn jumping impatiently.

It will be like watching an outing of the asylum for the criminally insane versus the men with the butterfly nets.

[progunner]

I also agree with you bro!!!! Obumba has absolutely NO record to rely on and many recent blunders recently. I believe he is toast.

The second amendment is the reset button to the CONSTITUTION!!!!

[Lx]

Hitler at least was a WWI hero having received the Iron Cross first and second class. O is a coward’s coward.

[JaguarXKE]

Wait - that IS Axelrod (or his twin)

[atc23]

Anybody who’s still undecided at this point has no business asking anyone any questions about anything - let alone actually voting. Theyre plants.

They should be taken down to the rivers edge and drowned.

[Isabel C.]

Throw the entire nation under the bus.

Throw an entire nation under the bus? That must be one HUGE bus!

[Revolting cat!]

Throw an entire nation under the bus? That must be one HUGE bus!

Uh, not necessarily...

[Road Glide]

“No, he won’t. He’ll strut out like a peacock and sound like Mussolini addressing a black shirt fascist rally.
Buckwheat is boiling cauldron of hatred under that veneer of mumbling stupidity.”

Well, if he blows the second one, what point is there for even showing up a third time?

[Road Glide]

“I’ve said it before and I will say it again. The disgrace in this election is that it remains so close. It shows you that a significant percentage of our population don’t have a clue as to what this Country is really all about.”

Good observation, but...

Honestly — do you expect this to change in the future?

The changes in the electorate that I see coming, will make things worse, not better.
