Hopefully, their disappointment and outrage will be focussed on 0bama, no matter how much the left tries to blame it on conservatives.

We may yet avoid an Ozombie Apocalypse.

Obama is by far the stupidest man to ever serve as president.

Wrong...wrong...wrong! He's very,very intelligent.He is,OTOH,the most amoral President ever to serve.It's vitally important that we not confuse the two.We mustn't underestimate our enemy.

The funniest reaction out of the left was the hypothesis that he was sandbagging the economic debate to “come back strong” in the foreign policy debate.

I can only... what, fantasize?... that Romney will make some oblique reference to 0bama bowing to foreign leaders.

While I can’t fault your hypothesis for credibility, I do disagree.

I can not see doyens that posit such inept excuses and rationalizations operating with that degree of subtlety and stoic resignation.

The President has problems with short-term memor


And delivering real long term results

Obama is by far the stupidest man to ever serve as president. I still am dumbfounded how he managed to fool so many people for so long.

The vast majority of people don't follow politics like we here on FR do and they get most of their "news" from Liberal television and radio newscasters who cover for Obama.

So true. Watched debate, and IM a relative who supports O.

There response on watching the debate. Romney is stupid.

There’s not much hope with them as a voter, as they don’t want to see the
obvious truth.

Left it with , you should reconsider, as you are younger than us, and will bear the real harm O will bring if re-elected both financially, and security wise.

Hate these family differences, but you need to tell them the truth, and then drop it.

Next time they will be prepared for O to fail and will be better prepared to cover for him.

Point.

The only difference between Romney "looking him straight in the eye" and "trying to stare him down" is the reporter's attitude.

Having a short-term memory problem and being stupid are two different things, but I haven't seen any evidence that the President is overly smart. The only way I guess he's probably smarter than average is his heredity, which seems favorable.

About his memory problem, that could come from the admitted early excesses in marijuana and other drugs or from alcohol. There are other possible causes, but no evidence for them.

I think the Romney Team is preparing for all the Hobson's Choice plants in the audience. Be prepared for the bleating from the helpless, hopeless and useless. It’s a fairly easy problem to wiggle out of, to gently slap the 47%er across the face with a velvet glove and make him shamed he asked it...Something like

"Well my 47% comment as Team Obama likes to do was taken out of context. My question is you said you are part of the 47% who does not pay federal income taxes correct? Well wouldn't you like to have a vibrant economy with many choices of good paying vocations for you and your family? You seem like a articulate, concerned person which you would like to be in a position of working, succeeding and prospering, to have the American Dream ..correct? I am sure you don’t want to depend on government for the safety and security of your family?(Killer question there, exposes the plant) President Obama wants you dependent, to have just enough to want more, to be dependent, that is very un-American. Thank you for your question.

See you take control by asking questions, old Zig Ziglar technique, you make the person sound irrational if they don’t follow you reasoning.

I think Obama is throwing the election on purpose.

_____________________________________

You think that a narcissistic marxist who has the most powerful job in the world is going to intentionally throw it away????

Please explain your reasoning.

Otherwise known as "denial."

Me personally... I can not permit someone, relative or not, who "doubles down on stupid" to walk away with their dignity unscathed.

I boil all that down to he sometimes just doesn’t have his heart in it.

He sees the future and it is bleak. He see’s no way to successfully proceed within the shackles of liberal/marxist dogma. With a Republican House and the possibility of a Republican Senate, he can do nothing.

He is literally between a rock and a hard place.

Obama is the poster child for affirmative action.

He's very,very intelligent.

I don't want to discount your point about amorality, but how has he shown his "intelligence" in the four years of being President?

Politically-speaking, I think he's shown he can rule by thuggery. Like a tyrant. He surrounds himself with like-minded thugs. He'd rather rule by decree, than by the prescribed legislative process.

He's not a master politician in the sense that he can forge coalitions; he does not compromise; he's certainly not a statesmen (nor do I expect him to be one AFTER his presidency); he doesn't hold the country above his own self-interests.

If he is "intelligent," as you say, it's only that he can conform to radical poltical exigencies when there is advantage to be gained. He can be a good "front man" for radicals, but when actually called upon to show leadership and "intelligence," he falls way short.

Memory loss is a symptom of long term marijuana use. FACT.

By making a big issue out of the lack of specificity to Romney's proposals, such as cuts to future budgets, Obama is wide open to a last minute laundry list of specifics from Romney in the final debate.

What Romney should say is, I've given specifics on what I will do, Mr. President. My question to you is no what will you do because your plan isn't working and we can't survive another four years in that direction. My question to you is, what will you do differently?

Then he hits him with stats again, unemployment, SSI disability (those numbers are huge), food stamps, inflation, etc.

I find the hypothesis that Jim Lehrer sensed a mental defect in Obama fascinating. Unable to follow the intellectual thread or the thrust of the topic, Lehrer had to feed him the topic and redirect him to the questions. I sense there is something terribly wrong with Obama. If so, the next debate will just be the final nail in the coffin.

I went back four pages and can't find it so it must have been a link in a post inside another thread. I actually watched most of it and obama praises wright and makes some black theology statements. I will continue to try to find it and will let you know if I find it. The subject was something like, “Another obama video surfaces”... something like that.

“Obama finally in real trouble.”

Not to the hardcore fourty-percenters.

IMHO
