Obama camp tips hand on debate, hints president will attack Romney on Bain
Fox News ^

Posted on 10/14/2012 6:58:56 AM PDT by Blue Turtle

As President Obama began to hunker down at a plush resort here for three full days of debate prep, his campaign team signaled the incumbent may steal a page from Vice President Joe Biden and show a more aggressive tone in Tuesday's second face-to-face showdown with Republican Mitt Romney. "Gov. Romney has been making pitches all of his life and he knows how to say what people want to hear whether that was during his time at Bain or during the dozens of town halls he did during the primary," said Obama campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Saturday.

Haha! No, but I did get to hear Paul Ryan say that even confiscating all wealth from the upper incomes would run the country for 128 days or some such the other night. I think saying that the tax increase BHO wants would run the country for 8 days is easier to visualize but at least he got it out there.


I remember that. He must have seen this video, “Eat the Rich”:

So says Mr. Hope and Change.

Don’t think very many people really care about Bain. Just brush it off and stick him.

Just laugh at him.....Obama can't handle ridicule

Is she talking about 0bama’s “hope and change” mantra, which allowed people to project individual personal issues onto 0bama??

‘’The second presidential debate will take the form of a town meeting, in which citizens will ask questions of the candidates on foreign and domestic issues. Candidates each will have two minutes to respond, and an additional minute for the moderator to facilitate a discussion. The town meeting participants will be undecided voters selected by the Gallup Organization.’’

I fully expect the additional minute of facilitated discussion will go something like this:

Crowley: Mr. President, when you said XYZ, didn't you mean 123?"
Putzident: 123, yes, Candy, 123.
Crowley: And you really meant to imply ABC, correct?
Putzident: Correct, Candy, ABC.
Crowley: Because you believe so-and-so, isn't that right?
Putzident: Absolutely, Candy, I believe so-and-so.

Your right I’m sure Romney will point out the truth about Obama.
Bet Obama walks of stage feeling he’s been stung by a swarm of bees.

This will be a major mistake, IMHO.

Zero’s attacking Romney on Mitt’s turf, is especially stupid, since Obama is not even capable of discussing his policies while occupying the WH office that he is holding, much less be intelligent or rational about business matters (of which he is totally ignorant).

Adding a ? mark to your observation.

The biggest concern I see is “have the dems been able to plant assigned questioners in the audience”?

They could have one to ask if nobama prefers his weed from Hawaii or Mexico and why. That would relate to his base and he could speak the truth without Romney interferring.

The White House Plush Resort is rented out to all his fat cat campaign donors for their plush vacations. He and Michelle need to retire to their plush retreats in order not to be distracted by the plebes who are “only” worth a few million or billion or whatever the status amount is today.

Obama’s worth gazillions, being King and Emperor and Head Potentate of the World (did I mention that he won the IgNobel Piece Prize?) so he needs an appropriately amenified retreat

Good to be a bit paranoid when considering anything dem/lib.

What do you see as the tactic nobama will use?

Romney was evidently ready for whatever attacks Obama had ready.

He’s three chess moves ahead of Obama and Obama probably knows it and won’t admit it. Obama is counting on those twitter riot threats to be reality.

“Because of the....civil unrest, fomented by my...opponent...and for... the good....of the country...I..must stay...in office. And now, a word from my lovely wife...”

Well, from what we hear from Michelle Obama, being in the White House is a tough way to live. She dreams of walking out the front door, and just keep on going. So, Obama can’t just hang out at the White House to prepare for the debate. He needs a change of scenery, perhaps??? (sarcasm)

That is the same argument nobama would make for his failure.
Hope Mitt satys away from that.

Romney: Tell us, Mr. President, how being a student of violent communists like Frank Davis and Bill Ayers formed your political beliefs?”

Absolutely. Obama does not have the intellect or demeanor to debate Romney. I’m questioning if Obama is even educated.

Romney is brilliant, controlled and experienced. So, really, the question for voters comes down to this: do you want the smart guy or....? imho

It does suck that Romney wiped out all the private bond holders at GM and gave their ownership position to the unions while at the same time applying a sweet financing package to the deal with taxpayers funds. This was all after forcing the layoff of thousands of non union dealers and suppliers. That was Romney right?

We haven’t talked about the audience. It’ll be stacked with Obamanots. Get ready for some very pro Bamster questions.
