How a “Busy” Obama Could Have Been Better Prepared for the Debate
RealityBatsLast ^ | October 4, 2012 | Jess Jones

Posted on 10/06/2012 7:48:06 PM PDT by Alex Baker

The debate inspired total panic on the left. For a campaign whose motto is “Forward”, there was enough political side-stepping in the post-debate review on the left to make viewers wonder if they had accidentally tuned into the Discovery special on Christmas Island’s crab mating migration. Probably the best sour grapes line of the evening was that the president didn’t have as much time to prepare, on account of being president and all…

When the tears of sympathy stopped flowing, I got to thinking about what Obama might have done to get ready for the debate. Where in Obama’s 24/7 schedule of managing the free world and turning around the Great Recession could he have possibly found time to prepare for the most important debate of his presidency? Then it hit me… a crazy idea that would involve some serious soul-searching sacrifice for Obama. What if, bear with me now, Obama had spent 33% of his golf time playing with congressional Republicans?

President Obama has played 104 rounds of golf since he took office by the last count. The president is a notoriously slow golfer and takes around 4.5 hours per round of golf. That means that he has golfed for approximately 468 hours since taking office. Given that a normal work week is 40 hours, that means that Obama has spent about 11.5 weeks of his presidency chasing around the dimpled ball." Spending some of his golf time with Congressmen instead of celebrities... what might have been accomplished? Thoughtful Article.

Nothing that I would have supported, that's for sure.

It still sucks that he wastes so much time golfing and then talks about how "busy" he's been.

Maybe if he was rational he would do better. But then he wouldn’t be him.

A) Take care of ongoing health issues.

B) Explore other career opportunities

C) Spend more time with his family

Hillbuzz has an article about what Obama is actually doing when he is “golfing”.

I just got done watching the debate again, and thought that Obama did not do that bad a job. He was a little surly, and he did stare down at his podium a lot, but that was not sufficient to account for the very negative reaction people had to his performance.

I think the key is that people are just not inclined to have a favorable reaction to Obama, right now. They have heard it all before, and they know that he is lying as soon as he opens his mouth. As long as he is being reported on thought the MFM filter, this does not matter so much. But after five minutes, people remember how much they have no patience for this guy, and there is really not anything he can do or say, other than, “I’m outta here” that can lessen that reaction.

This is all hog wash. I live in Las Vegas, and Obama was being prepped at Lake Las Vegas.The Las Vegas paper carried an article in which obama said that Preparing was boring and he wanted to go see Hoover Dam which he did. He is just lazy and expects to get the answers by osmosis.

I do not believe that O lost because of preparation or the lack of it, but rather because of the accumulated habits of a lifetime.

O counted on pulling all-nighters and b.s. to pass his classes and really never had to work hard preparing for anything in his life. His use of drugs probably did him no favors either.

Everything he ever got was bestowed upon him as a result of his status as a ‘gifted minority’, not because he merited them by hard work.

Mitt’s upbringing and the way he was raised is reflected in his painstaking and detailed approach to his work, whether in grad school or preparing presentations to investors at Bain Capital. It should not be a surprise that O lost the debate. Not ever having smoked dope or snorting nose candy might also be a factor.

Yes, we are sick of this dweeb and we just have to let him go.

Our Hope: 2012 Obama — Bye-Done!

The Hillbuzz article (no link sorry) says that he only seems to go golfing with people who have (at one time or another) been arrested for soliciting gay sex.

Add that to the very long time he seems to spend on each golf session.

The contention is that he isn’t playing golf, just using the golfclub’s facilities for gay sex.

I don’t know how much truth there is to this.
