Obama’s Debate Strategy: Unilateral Disarmament?(It's official,they are turning on Obama
Times ^ | October 3,2012 | Joe Kline

Posted on 10/03/2012 9:10:05 PM PDT by Raycpa

Well, I’m with all the other talking heads: Mitt Romney won this debate. Barack Obama lost it. I mean, he got his butt kicked. It was, in fact, one of the most inept performances I’ve ever seen by a sitting President.

.....

But I must admit, once again, to being mystified: Did the President send out his body double tonight? Because if that was the actual Barack Obama out there, I’m not sure he can communicate well enough to be an effective President in a time of trouble, to say nothing of winning a second term.

[ Rush is exactly right. Obama is basically a lazy dude ]

He’ll be much more motivated to prepare for next time.

Could the reason for his poor performance be that millions of Christians across the land were praying that Obama would be confused and confounded? I know I was.

“So, do you think Obama choked badly enough to start him on the road to Hawaii?”

0bummer’s connection to us in the Islands is non existent. He and Wide Load are the pride and joy of Chicago.

I thought he intends to live in Hawaii after he leaves the White House. Penny Pritzker is allegedly arranging this. If y’all don’t want him, I guess Chicago would take him back.

Liberals looking at the Debate tonight had the same experience Roddy Rowdy Piper's character had in the Movie “They Live” when he put on the magic Sunglasses.

Roddy put out a tweet during the debate that said "Obama-Romney Obey!" I answered back to him that it was an awesome reference and that I loved that movie.

He tried to interrupt and shut down Romney in the beginning and Romney rolled over him.

"I'm in charge here".

Not a Romney fan but he controlled the debate. Sorta' like someone who should be in the WH as opposed to the empty suit there now.

I’m not counting any chickens .... still got a LONG way to go. For the first time, though ... Obama was getting criticized by ‘his own’ last night and that just doesn’t happen. The Chicago slime machine will be cranked up to the red line beginning today.

Obama has never been a great debater. He does (did?) give good speeches, I’ll give him that””””

NOT without his teleprompter.

His cadence in speaking drives me nuts.

Would rather listen to someone with Tourette’s syndrome!!!

Great Leader did not argue nor refute the ‘panel’ which will decide health matters””

Obama did try to say that the ‘15 panel members’ would be ‘health professionsls, doctors, etc.

EVERYTHING I have read says that this panel of 15 will be bureaucrats—no health professionals allowed!!.

What is correct?

I must object to your addition to the title.

They are no more turning on Obama then we turned on Bush when he blew it in the first debate against Kerry, in many of the same ways. They will continue to try and carry him over the finish line. I don’t think it will work, and unlike Bush, Obama really has nothing he can do to make the next two debates significantly better.

A big problem for Obama is that he had created that messiah persona for himself...and this messiah got bloodied for all the world to see.

It ruins his entire carefully crafted image. He can't really pretend to be the messiah anymore because the whole world knows he's just a fancy, but affirmative action empty suit.

I believe that next time, he will be even more intimidated by Romney for fear that he'll get another @ss whuppin.

Pathological narcissists don't take failure/exposure easy. He should be on suicide watch for a week or so (unless Moochelle murders him first).
