HEY MITT! Expect, From Obama, These Four Things At the Debate Tonight!(October 16, 2012)
Original Content | October 16, 2012 | By Laz A. Mataz

Mitt Romney and Barack Obama debate again tonight, this October the 16th, 2012. After the sound trouncing Mitt delivered to the President, we can expect that Mr. Obama will alter his approach. Here is what to look for:

  1. Numerous interruptions and flagrant breaking of debate rules by Barack Obama. Barack certainly watched with interest as Joe Biden interrupted, talked over Mr. Ryan, sneered, laughed, mocked, and got angry. Those behaviors played very poorly with independents and especially with women -- most of who have dated, or even married, a man who behaved like this. Those behaviors, however, played very well with the far-left liberal base. Since the Pravda Press is mostly composed of that far-left brand of American, the written reviews the next day were glowingly in favor of Biden. Barack noticed that. Further, the Town Hall format this evening lends itself well to "planned but spontaneous" interruptions. The only indicator that this won't be tolerated seemed to come from Candy Crowley, the moderator, who declared that she will play a much more active and aggressive role in controlling the content of the discussion, and possibly the behavior of the candidates. Too, there is a chance that Obama will overplay this tactic.

  2. There will be attempt by Obama to overwhelm Mitt with accusations, many brand new, and all certifiably false. Joe Biden showed Obama that lying outright, and being wrong about the facts, are winning strategies with the Pravda Press, since they simply will not call a Democrat out about lying about their record (as when Joe Biden claimed he voted against the Iraq and the Afghanistan wars) or when they are wrong on the facts (as when Joe Biden asserted that the Syrian situation differs from the Libyan one 'because Syria is five times as large as Libya'). Barack Obama now feels free to lie outright, knowing that no one in the so-called "mainstream" media will whisper a word about it.

  3. A return of the infamous middle finger along the jaw (the F*** YOU gesture). This gesture has long been a staple of Barack's not-very-subtle body language, and it is intended to show 'cool', to get the audience on his side, and unnerve his opponent. Mitt Romney would do well to directly (though briefly) mention and criticize this gesture. It will regain the upperhand on 'cool', and it will put Obama on a defensive.

  4. Obama will be answering any charge made by Mitt Romney, not with an answer, but an ignoring of the question and the making of numerous counter-charges. Barack has long known that the best defense is an aggressive offense, and since the "mainstream media" will not call him on anything whatsoever, why defend against an accusation? Simply ignore it and attempt to overwhelm your opponent with numerous countercharges. This has been his method of governance: He overwhelms the system with many dozens of far-left, America-harming initiates, hoping that a few make it through. His debate performance tonight will mirror his governance.

Here is what Barack Obama fails to understand, though: The American populace, who began turning towards Mitt Romney, did not do so because Obama was passive. They did not do so because Romney debated well and with great skill. THEY TURNED TO MITT ROMNEY BECAUSE THE ROMNEY THE MEDIA HAD PAINTED, IN NO WAY RESEMBLED THE ROMNEY THEY SAW AT THE DEBATE.

This is the key. This is the response to most of this, except perhaps the planned interruptions. Mitt Romney merely needs to show America, once again, he is not a corporation-eating, people-hating Republican Monster. That is all they seek. Most of us know Obama has been horrible for America, but the Pravda Press had painted Mitt Romney as an unacceptable alternative to a known failure. Mitt needs to assure us, as he did last time, that he is not what the press declares.

Still satisfied, Laz.

All—please pray for Romney, and against Obama, tonight.

The future of our nation and our families is at stake.

And that is not an exaggeration.

See tagline for further enlightenment.

Very well thought out. Extreme on the side of articulate. Love your nick. Remember those times well during the sixties while admiring Mr. Chris Kraft of NASA and the job he did.

Instead of backing Hillary, I’d also like to see Romney convert the Hillary as scapegoat meme by being the first to hang his poor management around his neck. He can say, Mr. President, I’m familiar with the responsibilities of a CEO. You may want to think it is Mrs. Clinton’s fault. But trust me, you own it! And you should!

Americans don’t expect their leaders to be perfect, but they sure deserve some honesty, a little less Executive Privilege, a little less golf, and a lot more than what you’ve been delivering.

I hope against hope, that someone on Free Republic can get this in front of Romney or his people...

Sorry about the big font, but kinda 'popping a flare' and hoping someone on FR has that connection. :)

Mitt should have four cards, 8.5”x11” with the following headings: Number of times President Obama or the moderator has interrupted me. Number of times President Obama has made a false statement. Number of times President Obama has flipped me off. Number of times President Obama has not answered the question.

Mitt can make a hash mark on the appropriate card at the appropriate time and then hold the card up to the cameras.

If I may insert my opinion...
I don’t believe anyone with one brain cell left, doubts Crowley will, despite the rules established, insert herself into this debate. I believe Romney, in his opening remarks, can put her on the defensive and slam the door on her attempts.

’ I’m grateful to have this important opportunity to connect directly with the voters, unfiltered or misinterpreted by a third party. I look forward to answering their questions and the exchanging unfiltered views with the president.’

IF after this, she dares to open her mouth to challenge the voter’s question, Romney might have to remind her...’Ms. Crowley, you have preselected and viewed all the voters questions prior to this debate, I find it odd that you find it necessary to challenge their questions now’

Also answering the 47%:

‘Mr. president, when I’m elected, I will have taken a vow to represent all the people of our United States, even if we were to have 57 of them, by your count and I will keep that vow’.

Throwing 0’s ‘slip of tongue’ right back in his face.

Sensata seems to be the Dim talking point of the day.


Too bad Obama has a mutual fund that also includes Sensata shares...not to mention the Obama administration prefers outsourcing our embassy security in regional hotbeds for terrorism to foreign entities.

I would tend to think that Obama will avoid attacking Romney on “outsourcing” tonight.

I posted this on the “aggressive Obama” thread but thought I should share it here as well. :-)

I keep picturing the moment when Al Gore marched up to Dubya during the 2000 Town Hall debate.

That scene always makes me literally LOL as Dubya gives him a dismissive nod while Gore goes on and on about Dingle-Norwood! LOL!

Please Lord - let Obama try the same “Alpha Male” technique with equally hilarious results!

Haven't you been paying attention?

The best way to insure people read your posts is to put that box around them like I See My Hands does.
