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.

President’s Schedule - September 27, 2012

I sort of think that is the correct answer. I hope so.

The first session was such a disaster that:

• they're giving up and going to plan B.
• Kerry dropped out, not wanting to be associated with an epic fail
• they are putting all effort into getting the implant to work so President Jarrett can feed Obama the words
• Obama said it was too much like work and refused to do any more sessions
• They all came to the realization that the chair is truly empty

They’re already floating excuses so that the MSM can cover for him if when he bombs, which I hope he does.


There, fixed it.....

Script only works if Romney is in on it.

He didn’t campaign and spend his own money for the last 6 years to hand Obama a second term.

Professional liars don’t need ‘practice’ at lying.

Lowering expectations for Obama. No matter how lousy he does, it will be miraculous how well he did because he didn’t even have time to prepare.

Ding! We have a winner.

Gay-Z must not have been available.

Karl Rove (yeah, tell us what you think of him, as if we haven’t heard) in this morning’s WSJ lists Obumsters lies, or some of the recent ones and then advises the Bishop on how to respond during the debates. Just one sentence caught my eye:

“Mr. Romney can’t call Mr. Obama a liar; that’s too harsh a word that would backfire.”

Rove is right, and there are 1137 comments on the WSJ site, but why is he right? I know, of course, I’m asking why should he be right, what, are we a nation of POTUS worshippers?

I smell BS and read two things into this story:

1. Excuse set-up in case BO does poorly.
   
2. Ducking the debate altogether if he is really in trouble using the nation's business as an excuse.

That being said, I can guarantee you that the so-called undecided voters are being prescreened and the Obama camp is being spoon-fed the questions which they and the moderators will ask from friendly media insiders.

Will his suit coat be rigged with receivers? Wasn’t there some speculation about the appearance of the back of his jacket at a debate last time?

[virgil]

Next, he’ll be too busy to debate at all. They’ll just have to be cancelled.

[Revolting cat!]

Obumster doesn’t have to have the questions in front of him ahead of time, just like us, he knows full well what they are going to be, and he is master bullshitter demagogue like all Communist gensecs before him. He’s practicing with Bill Ayers, a frequent guest, I’m told, at the White Hut. They are studying together the speeches of Walter Ulbricht, Janos Kadar and Wladyslaw Gomulka.

Surely his idiot sycophants will go on and on about how brilliant his babble was.

He’s busy looking over the blueprints for his new house in Hawaii.

Yeah, Kerry cleaned his clock and Zero can’t handle anything that upsets his opinion of himself as the smartest man in the room.

[Revolting cat!]

Demagogues don’t hafta practice!
