HEY MITT! Expect, From Obama, These Four Things At the Debate Tonight!(October 16, 2012)

Mitt Romney and Barack Obama debate again tonight, this October the 16^th, 2012. After the sound trouncing Mitt delivered to the President, we can expect that Mr. Obama will alter his approach. Here is what to look for:

1. Numerous interruptions and flagrant breaking of debate rules by Barack Obama. Barack certainly watched with interest as Joe Biden interrupted, talked over Mr. Ryan, sneered, laughed, mocked, and got angry. Those behaviors played very poorly with independents and especially with women -- most of who have dated, or even married, a man who behaved like this. Those behaviors, however, played very well with the far-left liberal base. Since the Pravda Press is mostly composed of that far-left brand of American, the written reviews the next day were glowingly in favor of Biden. Barack noticed that. Further, the Town Hall format this evening lends itself well to "planned but spontaneous" interruptions. The only indicator that this won't be tolerated seemed to come from Candy Crowley, the moderator, who declared that she will play a much more active and aggressive role in controlling the content of the discussion, and possibly the behavior of the candidates. Too, there is a chance that Obama will overplay this tactic.
   
   
2. There will be attempt by Obama to overwhelm Mitt with accusations, many brand new, and all certifiably false. Joe Biden showed Obama that lying outright, and being wrong about the facts, are winning strategies with the Pravda Press, since they simply will not call a Democrat out about lying about their record (as when Joe Biden claimed he voted against the Iraq and the Afghanistan wars) or when they are wrong on the facts (as when Joe Biden asserted that the Syrian situation differs from the Libyan one 'because Syria is five times as large as Libya'). Barack Obama now feels free to lie outright, knowing that no one in the so-called "mainstream" media will whisper a word about it.
   
   
3. A return of the infamous middle finger along the jaw (the F*** YOU gesture). This gesture has long been a staple of Barack's not-very-subtle body language, and it is intended to show 'cool', to get the audience on his side, and unnerve his opponent. Mitt Romney would do well to directly (though briefly) mention and criticize this gesture. It will regain the upperhand on 'cool', and it will put Obama on a defensive.
   
   
4. Obama will be answering any charge made by Mitt Romney, not with an answer, but an ignoring of the question and the making of numerous counter-charges. Barack has long known that the best defense is an aggressive offense, and since the "mainstream media" will not call him on anything whatsoever, why defend against an accusation? Simply ignore it and attempt to overwhelm your opponent with numerous countercharges. This has been his method of governance: He overwhelms the system with many dozens of far-left, America-harming initiates, hoping that a few make it through. His debate performance tonight will mirror his governance.

Here is what Barack Obama fails to understand, though: The American populace, who began turning towards Mitt Romney, did not do so because Obama was passive. They did not do so because Romney debated well and with great skill. THEY TURNED TO MITT ROMNEY BECAUSE THE ROMNEY THE MEDIA HAD PAINTED, IN NO WAY RESEMBLED THE ROMNEY THEY SAW AT THE DEBATE.

This is the key. This is the response to most of this, except perhaps the planned interruptions. Mitt Romney merely needs to show America, once again, he is not a corporation-eating, people-hating Republican Monster. That is all they seek. Most of us know Obama has been horrible for America, but the Pravda Press had painted Mitt Romney as an unacceptable alternative to a known failure. Mitt needs to assure us, as he did last time, that he is not what the press declares.

Commodore Mataz:

I’d like to suggest that the Rage Monkey participate in the FR active debate thread tonight (kind of like lesser primates Sean Hannity and Dick Morris do via Twitter). Just think of the range of insights the Rage Monkey could provide in virtual real time.

[Lazamataz]

Two points: Rage Monkey takes time to put his cartoons together, and I won’t be on a live thread here (like tonight) until the new servers are installed. We swamp too badly...

[RMDupree]

Agree! I keep hoping some tech-savvy FReeper will create a gif of that moment for our enjoyment!

[Lazamataz]

Hey everyone, don't forget that I maintain a ping list, and it's been a long time since anyone asked to be added, so throw a brutha a bone over heah.....

[chriscraft]

Then consider getting a Twitter handle that everyone on FR could follow in case you want to comment without the time consuming graphics.....

THEY TURNED TO MITT ROMNEY BECAUSE THE ROMNEY THE MEDIA HAD PAINTED, IN NO WAY RESEMBLED THE ROMNEY THEY SAW AT THE DEBATE.

That is my opinion too. And last week they found out that the “Angry White Male” was Joe Biden.

An overly aggressive Obama would not sit well. Romney just needs to be cool and look “Presidential”.

[CityCenter]

I agree. Romney just needs to keep on being who he is and everything Obama’s gonna do gonna fail.

[Lazamataz]

Semi-flirtatious ping. This is my latest editorial work.....it has no laughs, but on debate night, we keep our eye on the ball. :)

[Lazamataz]

eddie, do you know why I like you so much?

Because you agree with nearly everything I write. LOL!

Hey dude, I'm organizing a small local shoot in Atlanta on Nov 10. Want to come? I'd love to meet you!

[stephenjohnbanker]

You NAILED it on all counts.

[Lazamataz]

Thank you kind sir!

[stephenjohnbanker]

” “Mister President, if I had an employee who just shot me the middle finger like you just did, I would fire him on-the-spot. Perhaps America needs to fire YOU!” “

No way for Obama to recover from this.

[Lazamataz]

I'm thinking even if Obama's team READ the above, there is seriously no comeback. They'd need to advise him to keep that finger tucked.

We will never know if Romney or Obama's people read this. But who knows what changes we may be causing. I like to dream.... I like to dream I get a freepmail from a Romney guy saying "We read your stuff. We want you on our team. Come work for us in DC." :)

Go ahead and add me to that “Sometimes funny, sometimes disturbing “ one. That sounds kinda fun.

[luvie]

Me, too. I am not talented in doing those. It was THE defining moment.

GW had it! :)

[Alamo-Girl]

Outstanding insights. Thank you, dear Laz!

Because you agree with nearly everything I write

I don't know.....some of the gals you say you'd hit...

Ah...who am I kidding, I'd hit 'em too.

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

Thanks, now I r somebody.
