Obama debate agenda: Threaten rioting and/or civil war. Brazenly lie. Throw the entire nation under the bus.
Romney debate agenda: Advocate peace and unification. Just tell the truth. Throw Congress and Federal Agency heads under the bus.
Given how bad the polling moved against Obama this week, Biden lost his debate badly.
So there!
As much I hope Obama goes down for the count in this debate, I am rather uneasy making early predictions like this.
If you remember before the first debate, there was a lot of pressure on Romney to hit a home run, as I remember, even calling it a “Hail Mary” (which of course he succeeded).
I don’t want to seem like a party pooper, but I think the BO camp might have some things up their sleeves, but I am anxious to see how and if they actually work out.
I would hope that Mitt would go straight to Candy Crowley on that -- "Candy -- you've done your homework. You know that's a lie. An outright lie. In the last debate, I told the president he was wrong to say that. Here we are two weeks later, and he's still saying it. There is no excuse. [Look at the camera] To you at home, I tell you that the president is lying to you. He will say anything to stay in power. We must stop this man."
Obama does NOT benefit from the format for this debate. They are going to have to talk to the audience and answer its questions not directly confront each other.
He is dead meat.
Hopefully, The Messiah has been coached to imitate Plugs Biden, making faces, gesturing, head-shaking, laughing, etc., and make a complete ass of himself ALSO (just as Plugs did). This would appeal to his dufus-base, and blacks who think Whitey is the enemy and condescending.
Even with pre-planted Obamabots in the Town Hall farce, Romney can, once-again, appear "Presidential", and cite PAST PERFORMANCE and destroy Obama on that basis, alone. He just has to keep his cool, and point out the false accusations as they are couched in the questions.
And no teleprompter.
Wow. i told my coworker exactly the same thing. they are so insane they will probably try to do a biden redo.
clueless!
Because he is not that bright?
Because Obama couldn’t do any worse than the first debate, he will do better this time.
Yeah it’s going to be a very amusing debate. When he ran for a first term, the foreign national could promise and promise. Now it’s a completely different story. Now it’s going to be “lie and lie” and everybody will know it.
I think he will try to make up for his dull performance in the last debate by coming on like gangbusters. He will end up looking hostile and petty.
The main problem he has is he can't clearly state what he really believes in - communism or socialism or "progressive" politics. He knows the American people won't buy it this time around. He got the benefit of the doubt last time but I think many have figured out what his game really is.
His second big problem is he was never that great of a speaker but McCain was not capable of exploiting that obvious fact.
While I can't say I agree with Mitt on some things I have no worries about if he is a loyal American, understands that everything we are depends on on keeping our nose in the Constitution or understands the simple fact that capitalism and the United States are inseparable and for good reason.
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.
I heard that this will be the first Presidential Debate in history to be covered by a blimp!
Trying to decide which one to DVR, the debate or the Tigers game.
Romney should diss O in a polite way...figure out a way to get under his skin and make him blow his cool and forget his script and go on a rant. Let people see who he really is.
Obama’s first debate performance was no surprise. He’s is a strident ideologue to his core that does great when speaking about a idea, a vision, a new path, a shining way. Now that that the facade of hope and change is worn thin, and he needs to be a politician to even compete in a debate with Romney he has nothing. Nada, zilch to speak about. He’s lousy at politics, is ashamed at his failure to get traction and materialize his great and wonderful ideas. His only refuge will be to attack, and will be made to look foolish by Romney. It will be a slaughter.
