WASHINGTON -- President Obama has been forced to cancel several debate practice sessions with Senator John F. Kerry, whom he tapped to play stand-in for Republican challenger Mitt Romney, leaving little time for them to spar ahead of next week’s first presidential debate.

The Massachusetts senator has held at least one mock debate with Obama to help him prepare for the first matchup against the former Massachusetts governor to be held Oct. 3 in Denver, but several others were cancelled due to the the president’s busy schedule, said deputy Obama campaign manager Stephanie Cutter.

the msm will just blackout the debates.

The NYT probably has their stories already in the can.

“Personally?
He’s losing, knows he’s losing, and is going to enjoy the benefits of the Presidency while being regaled upon by his supporters at campaign stops.”

Interesting. I’ve noticed he’s looking awful, defeated. Kevin DuJan (Hillbuzz) also says this but more succinctly: “Look at Barack Obama. Just look at him. This is not a man who looks like he thinks he’s winning. This is the kind of look people have on their faces when they stay awake night and day wondering if tomorrow is the day the Sheriff will knock on their door to evict them from their homes. He looks terrified. He has no idea what to do. He doesn’t understand why his old magic is not working. The crowds are tiny. No one wants to hear the old “soaring speeches”. Outside of the corrupt, vintage media, nobody’s legs are tingling. This guy is TOAST and he knows it.”

Odds on a “crisis” that calls Obama back to the WH and prevents his participation in the debate?

The media is going ot carry his water; the “moderators” are going ot give him the questions ahead of time; the polstrers are going to give him the win. Why does he need any practice in these fake debates?

John F. Kerry just got a saline “bagelhead” implant and it was distracting to President Empty Chair.

Getting better as the debate gets closer.

Theories?


Yes
He’s lying.

Why are we to believe he is too busy to cancel practice sessions...this is to have us believe he doesn’t need to rehearse. BS.

0bama has never told the truth on anything.

He already has all the questions given to him by the media... What he does not know is how Romney is going to attack him in the debate and to what degree...

He’ll get a script from the moderators and the producer.

That is my fear.

1) Disinformation
2) Lowering expectations


That’s exactly it, plus, he’s lying...never forget that part.

Not surprised. John “I was for it before I was against it” Kerry is not your best choice for a sparring partner.
