President Obama may not be as skilled an orator as he is thought to be by the media, but he is not as inept as he came across in the first debate. I believe he purposefully stumbled. The stammering, the lack of focus, at one point bumping the microphone were in my opinion a carefully constructed act. I believe he is trying to set the stage for a knock-out punch to his opponent in the next debate. From now until then the media will focus on Obama and his need to have a strong showing. If I am right the question is will Romney be prepared?
No. There are a bunch of progressives over at DU using the same excuse.
Anyone who's paid attention the last four years knows that Obama off-teleprompter is just as you described -- stumbling, stammering, lack of focus. It wasn't a purposeful act; it was simply Obama off-teleprompter.
After what has happened in Benghazi Libya, that has all been forgotten and can’t be used for scoring points...
The problem is that Obama doesn’t understand the policies that he supports. He isn’t a leader, he’s a glorified community organizer and mouth piece for the most radical elements of the Democrat party, a mouth piece. Marco Rubio said it last night on Hannity, Obama doesn’t understand tax theories and economics, he just doesn’t get it. Everything is political to Obama and that is all he knows.
Watching what Romney did last night with Lehrer (a faux non partisan), I have a bit more confidence he will be able to say what needs to be said.
We shall see.
The matter of the fact of what happened at the debates last night is that the real face of Obama has been shown to the world for all the world to see that the Media has carefully crafted in these last 4 years to hide.
From your keyboard to God’s Ear....
Maybe if he lays off the crack pipe long enough to let his brain get back to normal stupid.... But no, like or hate Mitt, he is Obama’s intellectual superior. Last time around, Obama was up against someone who was more of a halfwit than himself, and that was before Obama spent four years hardwired to his teleprompter.
As we speak, liberal teams surrounding future moderators are scheming on ways to prop up their dummy in the next debate. Look for Obama to lose his feminine foot twisting behind the podium, and for him to look forcefully into the camera, but there is little time to put manliness and intelligence into his brain, especially if Kerry is the best he has to train him.
That is my hope as well.
That line of thinking is like the old line “...and then in a masterful stroke, I ended the fight by jamming my nose firmly between his teeth.”
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.
He got trounced, fair and square.
He was in lalaland, as if it never occurred to him that people who are living the nightmare of his policies, were watching. Or even that his policies have consequences. Bizarre. How many seeing him talk about supposed tax cuts for the middle class, were yelling at their TVs, shouting, "You f'n ********, you lowered my taxes all right, because I no longer have a job!"
Same with Obamacare... he was mouthing platitudes about lowered costs and better care, but people in the real world - the ones watching him take credit - have had their premiums go through the roof or their coverage dropped. There he was, yapping on about the greatness of Obamacare.
His pathetic, wimpering closing statement was pretty much, "Oh vote for me anyway, oh please?"
He's completely detached from reality. He won't deal with the cognitive dissonance rationally, because he's irrational.
He is going to try to pull something.
The pr!ck’s ego would not allow him to perform a “rope-a-dope” act purposefully.
Quite simply, from the beginning, he has been advertised and sold at a level far beyond anything he can produce or achieve.
The election isn’t over. It is quite likely that people will die in foreign countries, perhaps even here in America, to try to re-establish a level of “mojo” that was all hype to begin with.
Anyone, or any animal, wounded can be dangerous. And, “he” has been wounded.
“I can’t be the only person thinking this throughout the debate.”
An October Surprise...?
This forum should know better than to underestimate Obama and those that advise him; the Media that carries his water;and all the other usual suspects in the Marxist
asylum.
No...I’ll wait til Nov.7 to decide whether rejoicing is in order.
Meantime...Si vis pacem, para bellum.
This is the first time anyone has challenged Obama’s BS, other than Univision 3+ years into his Presidency, beyond the token quesion from the media.
Up until now he has been given free reign to spew whatever nonsense and lies he wanted without answering to them.
At 0bama’s core he is a American hater.
Which he hides behind his BS and chronic smiling.
All the while creating policies that punishes America.
0bama said during last nights debate he wants to lower corporate taxes to 25%
This he said will simulate growth.
So, you have o wonder why didn’t he do that 3+ years ago???
