Few doubt that President Obama is in top of the subjects; ...who aced Harvard before he went into teaching.

Really?

He did?

Says who?

Anybody see any of his Harvard transcripts?

Anybody...?

[JaguarXKE]

No, I’m sure he’ll have to work really hard for it - like he did to win the Nobel Peace Prize //sarc.

[Obadiah]

So true. Once had a college final I totally crammed for - hard. Walked into the test and almost totally blanked out. All the information just sort of ran together and I couldn’t sort it out and put specific information to the appropriate essay question. I learned my lesson - bigtime.

More like he’s being fitted for an unnoticable ear piece so Axelrod, et al., can feed him responses.

This format is so ripe for stacking the deck by the moderator so I don’t have high hopes. Although, I do believe in prayer, so that’s what I’ll be doing during the debate (as I did during the first one).

Racist. /sarc

[Bluestocking]

This is the Democrats’ fantasy of today’s pre-debate Obama: that he’s like a bright fifteen-year-old cramming for an exam, who, if he studies diligently enough will surely get an A and maybe even be accepted into Harvard even if his skin isn’t black.

The reality is that Obama is competing against another debater. No matter how hard Obama studies, if his opponent, Mitt Romney, studies harder, Obama will lose.

And Mitt Romney has already won a debate hands down against Obama, which should make him the heavy favorite tonight, no matter how hard each has been cramming over the past few days. Let’s hope Romney has been cramming hard enough to put Obama away tonight so that Romney’s poll numbers can go over the magic 50% level — he’s at 50% today — and the country can avoid the fiscal cliff that’s been threatening us for years.

Chuck Todd stating Romney could close out Uhbamuh with another strong performance was calculated. What he is hoping is Uhbamuh will be even or possibly a little better than Romney, at which point Todd can state Romney was unable to close out Uhbamuh and Uhbamuh is back in control of the election.

I met a guy once that went to school with Barry Soetero at Punahou School on Oahu . He was on the basketball team with the only Afro-American in the entire school . It was assumed that as an Afro wearing Afro-American , Barry would be a star player . However my friend told me Barry was always quick to call Foul! That most of the times his foul objections were disregarded by the coaches and Barry would get all pouty . Sometimes he would just walk away from practice . Off to seek solace with his Choom Gang bros? Because of his whining and complaining no one wanted to play with him . He never was placed on the team for any official games . This was a big disappointment ,as he was this elite schools token Popolo . He told me he hung out with the biggest bunch of losers in the school and that’s how he ended his time at Punahou . Now you know the rest of the story .

There are pictures of him in front of a blackboard, FWIW.

Of course.

There are also pictures of him in the war room, getting Osama!

I'm not saying he never taught, but it was likely not a "Paper Chase" environment.

We're on the same side of this one.

Few doubt that President Obama is in top of the subjects ; he was, after all, a college professor who aced Harvard before he went into teaching.

"Aced Harvard?" We have a front-runner for idiotic sentance of the day here....

[Cyber Liberty]

You either know it or don’t. Cramming will never help and many times will make matters worse.

100% true. I've never "crammed" for a test in my life.

Where did they dig up this gem? Obama's records are sealed.

Mike Huckabee said today that the debate prep is memorization of one liners and lessons on body poses - all acting lessons.

[Clay+Iron_Times]

How many people need to cram in order to speak intelligently about the job they’ve held for the past four years?

"Mr. President I'm going to ask you a question that Governor Romney simply has not answered to our satisfaction: what par is the sixth hole at Troon North?"

"Let me be perfectly clear on this, Candy. While I may have been rushed on that hole, and while I may have inherited divots - devastating divots - from the previous foursome, and while I may have double-bogeyed, I can say without reservation that the par is 4."

"Thank you, Mr. President! Exactly right. Well done!"
