Prez ‘crushed’ by Romney

Howie Carr

If last night’s debate was a prizefight, it would have been stopped at 9:25 p.m.

I had a feeling Obama might have a problem when I heard he was using John Kerry as his Mitt Romney stand-in. If that was the best Liveshot could do getting Barack ready for Mitt, he should be fired this morning even before Bobby Valentine gets his walking papers.

Did you notice how Obama kept looking away from Romney? It took a while to figure out who he was looking for, but then I realized — it was TOTUS, his missing TelePrompTer of the United States.

No one should ever use the words “cerebral” and “Barack” in the same sentence ever again. He bragged about cutting taxes $3,600 for middle-class families — “maybe they can buy a new car.”

And they said George H.W. Bush was out of touch!

It wasn’t just that Romney was smart. It was that Barack was revealed as a clueless dolt...

I wouldn’t be surprised if Jim Lehrer quietly “retires” in the coming months. LOL!

If Leher does retire, maybe they should hire Rush Limbaugh for the next debate.

Time to bomb Libya I guess

Listen up, when it's time to bomb Libya, Val Jarrett will let you know. Anyway, it's Damascus. Meanwhile, TOTUS must, must I say, be cut a lot of slack. He's in quite the funk without his BFF, Reggie Love. When he's not out on the road campaigning amongst the faithful, he's holed up in the den watching ESPN ... ALONE. Just hanging out, waiting for Miss Val to come in with his instructions, rolling his own and ordering snacks for one. That can't be much fun. And what's the poor guy's alternative? TV with Michelle and the Mother-in-Law?

In regard to the debate, the Masshole faithfuls know better than to despair. Even though Barry wee-weed it up big time, they remember how Teddy looked so foolish, so helpless, and so inept during his debate with McCormack that the Massholes, particularly the females of the species, felt SORRY for the drunken puppy and voted him in on a tide of sympathy or mother-lust, or something.

I worry that the same could happen with Obama. In the meantime, could Barney The Bugger of Bayonne be prevailed upon to forward his dating service's little black book to Barry? There's a fellow who really needs a new BFF.

Opposites on the Bell Curve. What other outcome did anyone expect? I wager obamugabe had foreknowledge of questions that were asked.

Yes, his syntax was remarkably a mirror image of the questions ... but that is an old debater's trick when one is lost! I also think that suit the Mombasa MF was wearing could have been wired. His head was down as if he were listening to a voice from his lapels. He simply cannot speak without the Sorosprompters right and left ... and he made no eye contact with Mitt, and not much with the camera or audience.

And he was fidgety ... the body language was bad ... looked as if he had to take a bad leak!

Turns out that Clint Eastwood is right on the money, “Obama is useless”!!! If American Blacks don’t broom this Racist Obama dude and his hate America wife Michelle, they will be adrift at sea for next hundred years!!!

If that isn't the truth......since Obama took over, race relations have been set back decades. He's certainly not their friend.

I watched the debate on CNN. They ran a continuous graph which showed “undecided” voter emotions in Colorado (male+female) as the debate progressed. Women tracked much higher in support of Obama throughout. So, I was honestly shocked at the final polling which showed Romney running away with it. That graph was distracting and gave a viewer the idea that it was gonna be much closer. The best part of the night for me was watching MSNBC post-debate coverage. I got drunk on vodka it was so excellent.

While Romney admittedly bested a poor Obama, in terns of substance I didn’t come away with any confidence that Romney has the vision or guts to make the tough decisions that will be necessary to put America back on the rails. He’ll be in the George Bush/David Cameron mould, not Reagan/Thatcher. Or even worse, he’ll be a Brian Mulroney, the “Conservative” Prime Minister of Canada who maintained high deficits, while flooding our Supreme Court with “moderate” appointees. Mulroney came from a big business background as well.

Were you going, "What about Solyndra?! What about Solyndra!! Le'ts talk about all the money he gave to Solyndra!!!" And then he did. And it was good. McCain would have never done that.

I'm sure there were lots of people watching last night who went, "Who is Solyndra?" And hopefully they took to the interwebs and found out.

Moral of that story: all “rich” guys are not equally endowed with smarts.

To top it off, sKerry isn't even self-made rich, except for the lobbyist money he gets from Senate payoffs.

Donald Trump...small business?

I think he just wanted to get that in there to zing Trump, knowing what it's like to have a giant ego.

Ya’ll realize that hussein is going to act like a cornered rat now and in his vindictiveness toward the American people is going to launch some kind of major war, just to get back at us for him looking bad. Narcissists do that.

Romney brutalized Obama.

Like Clinton did to Juanita Broderick.

They'll trash the house like all freeloaders do when the landlord evicts.

In a very good mood this morning because of Romney’s spectacular performance.

Romney won the debate both on facts/data/content and style/presentation. His victory was so dominant and overwhelming that even the media and Obama’s campaign can’t deny it. So what will Obama do? He will attempt to convince people that Romney won the debate only due to style/presentation. They will hit this hard for the next month in the hope that when people reflect on this debate as they decide to who to vote for, they will forget that not only did Romney destroy Obama on presentation but he also killed him on substance. “Obama just had a bad night”.

How can Romney combat this tactic? Pick out the most damning segments of the debate where Romney killed Obama on data/substance and turn them into ads that play over and over again in Ohio and Florida.

Romney was much better last night as it relates to getting rid of the smile/smirk when his opponent is speaking. He did look right at Obama much of the time and, contrary to what I thought before the debate, it worked out well for him.

Would still like to see him completely eliminate the half-smile when Obama is talking.
