List your ideas:
One I had a friend send me was “Mr. President, if you are reelected who are you going to blame for the last 4 years”?
That’s a winner...
“Boy, Obama wants details but has none of his own.”
Etc Etc. After calling Obumbles boy a few times, he will be reduced to a spitting, stuttering, raving loon, unable to answer anything.
“Mr President, in this 2012 campaign, how many states have you been to?”
First,I’d like to give a shout out to my homies in Provo!
Romney needs to say a prayer. You know Obama will be praying to Mohammed (piss be upon him).
In our dreams:
“My opponent has spent the last 4 years whining about the economy he “inherited” (use finger quotes).
He inherited nothing — he REQUESTED this economy, created by disastrous democrat policies and promised to fix it.
Even with the aiding and abetting of both houses of Congress he has only succeeded in making it much, much worse. This points to a lack of vision, a lack of planning, a lack of leadership.
he spoke of hope and change. He did not tell the American people that WAS his strategy: Hope everything will get better.”
As I said — in our dreams.
“As President I know what I’ll be inheriting, but you won’t hear me blame the previous administration for it.”
Everything is in rubble and collapsing down around him but he doesn't see it.
Then run off a list of Obama's lies.
The private sector is in doing fine.
The terrorist attack was because of a video.
A tax increase on the rich will solve all economic problems.
Present it as if Obama believes his lies are true and he's written off as a nut.
As another poster mentioned on another thread of this theme, it would be unwise for Romney to channel Reagan's witty quip. I can just see Obama's response:
"See? There the REPUBLICANS go again! Regurgitating the ideas of prior Republicans because they have no new ideas, just criticisms. Do we REALLY want to entrust our nation's future to politicians who cannot even come up with their OWN ideas?"
Sadly enough, the parasitic class would eat that response up, and it would give Zer0 IMMENSE leverage with the lapdog media replaying the sound bite over and over, ad infinitum, for all the world to behold.
I think Romney needs an original line ... the ‘there you go again’ worked for Reagan who was older and got the delivery ‘just right’
I think Romney should be saying repeatedly (and he will have a chance every time Obama opens his mouth): “Mr. President, thanks for sharing that story, but let’s get back to your REAL record” .... I’d actually like to see him say: “Mr. President, thanks for sharing that story, but let’s get back to your nonfictional record” .....but that would probably be perceived as too ‘snarky’.
Obummer is known for very long responses and for going far afield. This clearly says Obummer is not telling the truth, making up stories, obfuscating .... etc., etc. It’s polite ... but it’s the iron fist in the velvet glove approach.
He **MUST** address the issue of being a “rich out of touch guy who only wants to enrich those like him at the expense of the poor and the middle class”. That it’s false is not the question, but it has stuck among a segment of the Obama disenchanteds and it’s costing him in OH.
Attack the media and force them to ask him questions they ignore. How about Fast and Furious for starters? What about Solyndra, Mr. President? Why is going on Letterman more important than meeting with Netanyahu? Just a few zingers.
This is what I would hope he would say:
‘You weren’t elected for a warm up term, you were elected to solve things. You blamed our economy, our wars and our standing in the world on your predecessor. But in your single term our economy, the state of the world, and our standing in the eyes of our allies and enemies has become much worse than the mess you inherited. I can fix things, I can get things done. I have a record of competence and success in the private sector and in the public sector. You offer excuses for why you can’t get things done, I offer solutions to pull us out of this period of national malaise.”
..and the disenchanteds are going to Gary Johnson instead of him ! Those are votes he is not getting.
Nobody has ever confronted Obama with his own words about raising the debt ceiling, and calling increasing the deficit irresponsible and unpatriotic. Romney needs to jam some of Obama’s own words back down his throat.
I think I would take the Newt approach.
In the past week, we have heard about a scandal from Univision on fast and furious, a cover up in Benghazi and a tape released last night clearly showing Obama to be a racist and a liar?
How come the 3 of you on the panel refused to report on any of this and why should the American people trust the media and anything they reported on after covering for Obamas failures for the last 4 years?
Pause.... Then say, take away the teleprompters and the canned 1 minute soundbites and let’s debate what has this president given us over the past 4 years that gives him the right to stand up on this stage and ask for 4 more years.
A lot of good ones here.
In general though, OWN the pace, OWN the discussion, IGNORE the moderators
If Obama asks why not the last 10 years tax returns, answer that it’s specifically not required, and not a single penny of his income EVER was associated with tax payers money. Then I’d ask Obama, how much of his last 10 years income as shown on his returns was made through innovation and contributions to the economy AFTER eliminating ALL tax payer sourced funds.
100% Romney, probably <10% Obama. One’s a contributor to the health of the country, one’s a taker.
Romney: Before we begin this debate, I demand to have an update on the attack on our embassy and the savage murder of four of our countrymen in Libya. What happened? What were we doing there? Why was there no security? Why did it happen? What are we doing about it? Mr. President,, what are you going to do about it?
