Why Obama is likely to blow the second debate too
Hot Air ^ | OCTOBER 15, 2012 | J.E. DYER

The short answer is: because he’s got nothing.

There is no record to run on, no argument to make for four more years. The ideology that drives him is outdated and bankrupt.

He has, in fact, implemented his policies – Republicans have had little means of stopping him – and those policies are the problem.

But there’s a slightly longer answer too.

Obama’s advisors will read the mainstream media assessment of the vice-presidential debate – they actually think a debate that turned women across America off of Biden was a draw, or a Biden win – and conclude that what the president needs to do is find his inner Joe Biden.

Appeal to his base by going on the attack, perhaps interrupting, being visibly annoyed at the trend of Romney’s statements, and vigorously asserting untruths in the interest of racking up effective soundbites.

He’ll lose beacuse he’s not the one that’s been calling the shots over the past 4 years. He’s about the biggest waste of oxygen on earth.

Let’s go in expecting Obama to put up a fight and be prepared to put up a fight as well. No let up until O is O U T

“I’m thinkin’ Michelle ordered Obama to lose the debates”

Nope. Because Odumbo is simply an imbecile. The reason why he “won” the debates in 08’ was because he had a script to follow and said the hopeychangey crap over and over again. The MSM ate it up.

And all the little morons that voted for him the first time are going to have better things to do come Nov 6th while all patriotic Americans will do their best to restore some order.

I’m like most here and don’t look forward to a willard presidency, but the choice for me couldn’t be more clear. We absolutely must get rid of Barry and the Moocher.

“Why Obama is likely to blow the second debate too.”

“Oh wow man, did someone say ‘blow’?”. Although one would think that Barry would have learned his lesson after the first debate!

He was also debating a worthless candidate who was afraid to challenge him.

Zen Koan for today. Most of us have heard of the Koan," Imagine the sound of one hand clapping."

Todays Koan...

Imagine the sound of Obama speaking to an empty chair...

Let’s not be too confident that this debate will go for Romney.
Candy Crowley will pull out any dirty trick to bolster Zer0.

We can hope President Romney will cancel all of so far 938 executive orders that Obama has signed.

I don't believe lefties actually think or believe most of what they say. They just spin things in a way that they hope large numbers of people will believe and support.

Hope for change.....yeah....that's the ticket.

Yes, I want Zer0 gone.
No, I don't have such high expectations of Romney.

As Britt Hume predicts, we'll see a lot of empathy for the questions but little substance.

For the Libs, that's all they need. For the Conservatives, it's proof of the empty suit.

For the six people who are still uncommitted, who knows?
