Carville: ‘Mitt Romney came with a chainsaw’

Add CNN’s James Carville to the list of Democrats questioning President Barack Obama’s performance against Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney on Wednesday.

In CNN’s wrap-up of its debate coverage, Carville, a campaign adviser to former President Bill Clinton, gave Obama’s campaign high marks but added that Obama probably didn’t go by the playbook his campaign wanted him to.

“Let’s be real,” Carville said. “They have run a very good campaign thus far. I don’t think that President Obama did what this campaign wanted him to do. I think he was off his game tonight. But let’s don’t go overboard here. It will be like a big sort of pushback. … My point is this — President Obama came in, he wanted to have a conversation. It takes two people to have a conversation. Mitt Romney came in with a chainsaw. He’s trying to talk to a chainsaw.”

I’ve seen a number of debates, but that was like watching Carl Sagan explain relativity to Flavor Flav!

Cut along the dotted line, Mitt.

Watching Romney own Obama was like watching baby seals get clubbed

Have a plane ready and fueled up for Havana or Caracas, we don’t care which one.

@realDonaldTrump Congratulations to Mitt Romney. He was not only good, he was absolutely fantastic tonight!

Never fear, over at DU they’ve already recovered & there are a ton of threads saying O won the debates & once the media watches it again, they’ll realize it! No hope for those losers!!!

I know this is redundant but Carville looks like hell.

Is he sick?

President Obama came in, he wanted to have a conversation. It takes two people to have a conversation. Mitt Romney came in with a chainsaw. He’s trying to talk to a chainsaw.”

There was not to be a beer summit! This is political war and Barry wants a conversation? LOL! Who is advising him that he thought this was a night out w/the boys? I'm happy to see he underestimated how much America wants him GONE!

Perfect!!

And if they smoke ~enough~ dope while re-watching it, Lehrer will change into an iridescent unicorn.

[sounds like the DUmmies already got a "head" start]

They've moved on to Obama playing some kinda advanced rope-a-dope multi-dimensional time traveling chess strategy. Wait three days...Obama’s brilliance will reveal itself. Sorta not kidding.

My point is this — President Obama came in, he wanted to have a conversation.

What the hell. What does this buffoon take us for? His wife?

Obama couldn't carry on a conversation with the village idiot. The only people he "talks to" are his brain-dead followers and hangers-on who are with him as long as the money holds out.

He didn't want to have a conversation. He doesn't know how to have a conversation. He expected Jim Lehrer to run interference for him, and apparantly Romney rolled over Lehrer like he wasn't even there. Why should Romney respect the splutterings of a PBS loser host when debating a man who ignores federal court rulings and uses constitutional separation-of-powers principles for toilet paper?

It may be a set-up; next time will be closer to Election Day, and his base may get the debate they’re looking for, which will fire them up to get out the vote.

Yes, I know Obama has little substance, but he can make a show. The curiosity is why didn’t he even try?

That’s because they built a wall of Bull Crap these 4 years.

I saw Axelrod interviewed after the debate....good gawd!! The man was wound so tight with stress he could barely put together a coherent sentence. I couldn't tell if he was about to cry or commit road rage.

President Obama came in, he wanted to have a conversation. It takes two people to have a conversation. Mitt Romney came in with a chainsaw. He’s trying to talk to a chainsaw.

Carville is acknowledging nothing. The line is: "Romney the bully beat up our gentle President, who was just trying to have a conversation."

This will be the Dem meme for the next week.

I saw that too. He was not repeat not happy. A very reliable indicator of a bad night for Obama.
