Obama mocks Republicans over demands for changes to debates
Fox News.com ^ | November 3, 2015

resident Obama mocked Republican presidential candidates for demanding a series of changes to the format of their televised debates, saying they would not be able to deal with Russia or China if "they can't handle a bunch of CNBC moderators."

"If you can't handle those guys, I don't think the Chinese and the Russians are going to be too worried about you," Obama said.

Obama was speaking at a Democratic National Committee fundraiser at Broadway's Richard Rogers Theater where his appearance was preceded by a special performance of the hit musical "Hamilton", about the Founding Father.

Representatives of most of the Republican campaigns met Sunday in Alexandria, Va., to discuss alterations to future debates after candidates complained that last week's CNBC debate was designed to put the candidates against one another.

When Obama debated Romney he became almost dysfunctional at times and continuously pleaded to moderators to intervene on his behalf.

He’s auditioning for a Late Night Show at one of the Democrat networks after his term ends. He can’t just quietly slink away to HI where we’d never have to see or hear him again.

His premise is that somehow he himself is tough with Putin, so how dare the Republicans say he is weak when they cannot handle tough questions from CNBC. Super tough questions like “Mr. Trump are you a comic book villain”? Those tough questions?

Putin is smart. He doesn’t criticize Obama publicly. If he has negative comments, he simply refers to the USA in general, and then quietly does what he wants.

A shallow narcisisist like Obama can then convince himself of anything - he’s a strong leader, he’s leading the world on important issues like “climate change,” and that he is respected abroad.

When moderators start treating Dems like they treat Pubbies (or even asking relevant questions instead of fawning), then you get to have an opinion about this. Till then, STFU!

And besides, he has it exactly backwards. The Pubsters are negotiating from a position of reasonable strength to address an issue they don’t like. How does that bode ill for dealing with other heads of state?? Is he saying it would be more statesmanlike to bend over and grab their ankles and let the moderators have their way with the candidates? That WOULD go a long way toward explaining his foreign policy, if so.
