How the Liberal Media Ruined Obama
AmericanThinker.com ^ | 10/6/2012 | Lisa Fritsch

Watching the debate reminded me of a child set out on his own after being raised by parents who failed to teach him responsibility and accountability and let the child think that he was above being corrected or disciplined. This was the time that Chris Matthews could not jump in and tell the people what Obama meant to say." Indeed, Obama has been brought up by an adoring and overindulgent liberal media who have coddled him for the last eight years on everything from his appearance to Jeremiah Wright, Tony Rezko, and his caught-on-a-live-microphone secret handshake with Russian President Medvedev, where he promised that he will have "more flexibility after the election" to work with the Russians on missile defense. Additionally, we have the age-old public displays of media affection, including Dave Brooks' awe over the crease in Obama's pants and the "thrill up" Chris Matthews' leg. With a sycophantic media like this, who needs accountability?

Until Univision took Obama to task over his promise on immigration, Americans had rarely seen President Obama being held accountable by the media to match his word with his record. An unsteady, flustered, and out-of-gas Obama was bewildered as to how Univision's Jorge Ramos could have missed the "how to conduct an interview with President Obama" memo.

Wednesday's presidential debate revealed the same tight-lipped, flustered president -- unprepared for Jim Lehrer's reluctance to intervene and stop Romney from daring to question and attack his record.

This problem is eliminated by the British system, in which Ministers are required to routinely face hostile questions from the opposition at Question Time.

Sometimes I'll turn that on (CSPAN?) just for a laugh. It's fun to watch them go at each other, complete with all the hrmphing from each side.

Osambo will come on strong during the next debate. Strong and attacking Romney personally. Bet on it. His problem is, and Americans who haven’t experienced or understood Communism don’t understand how those gensecs speak, his problem is a limited, ideology laden speech and think. It is and has always been empty, predictable sloganeering speech of a neo-Marxist demagogue. There is not there there. Shocking, I tell ya, jus’ shocking!

IMO, zero is doomed. Zero has no substance, you can’t polish a turd and Romney knows how to get his point across. Romney is becoming a ‘polite’ Newt.

Yeah, no kidding. I was browsing the threads, and there's her picture, and right away I thought: " No way she's liberal... She's got to be a conservative... She's too nice looking, and she looks happy, liberals always look like they just swallowed something nasty..."

You think they'd have some kinda advertising campaign that convinced women all over the country to become conservative, just because what it does for your looks!

The four legs of the empty chair are ABC, CBS, NBC, and last but not least NYT.

There is evidence the MSM are starting to desert, tails atwitter.

It can't be good to be a Democrat president and have Newsweek run a cover story calling for you to go. And just now the New Yorker has gone Eastwood on the Won:

I think you are correct...and I think Romney will be lying in wait for such attacks.

Thanks for posting that picture. She’s quite good looking. And it’s a great article.

Give it enough time and the right conditions and you can.

I never thought I'd say it, but Univision is now the most honest and hard-hitting news organization in America.

Quite true, there is nothing there with leftism, except the mistaken notion they are morally superior. Without that they are dust in the bin.

Yes but that debate just proved that CBS did not rig the debate. You should still give them some credit.

Romney’s been dealing with tough business leaders for many years. Because the liberals marginalize these types, and therefore have no awareness of them, the media sillies are thus ignorant of Romney’s ability to cheerfully and aptly talk over jerks who try to take over the presentation.

They have no idea what they’re up against.

Corporate types are quiet humble and busy, if they are successful. Numbers don’t lie (not to be confused with statistics). Oh, and except if they are The Donald, God bless him.

And these guys are not going to be quiet nor humiliated when it comes to preventing more and much more of what they’ve experienced with OB.

Wait ‘til after the next debate.

The media will not know what hit them.

Wimps.

The next debate is a townhall where the candidates respond to audience questions. It may be difficult for Obama to go on the attack against Romney while attempting to respond to an audience question. It will appear forced and contrived, IMO.

I believe Romney will focus intently on the person asking the question and pretty much pretend Obama is not there. Romney has been criticized for being aloof and not personally connecting with people. This format provides him with a great opportunity to debunk that image of him as painted by Democrats and the media. He won’t pass it up.

I think some of this "Obama did so bad" is overblown. Especially given what he had to work with. I mean, think of a debate between a flat-earth advocate and a scientist. No matter how good a debater the flat-earther is, he is going to wind up looking foolish when he finally goes against someone who is conversant on the subject and not afraid to call him on it. Same here. With a record like his, how well can it be defended?

The real story is that the media's wasn't there to keep convincing the public that the world is flat Obama is the greatest and we're all blessed to have him as our leader. For an hour and a half the media couldn't spin a web of lies around the Chosen One. He was without his phalanx of palace guard and subsequently exposed as the king with no clothes. Naturally his courtesans in the media are upset at Lehrer for not jumping in and providing Obama with a fig leaf, since not only was he revealed but so too were they for not having exposed him themselves long ago as the failure of a president that he is.

Nevertheless, if it’s close, as in the townhall format could very well be, or be easily judged as such (because it will also depend on the level of stupidity of the questions - the stupider the better for the POTUS), the MSM will be all too eager to declare the Kenyan the winner, who, you already know the line but I’ll type it anyway, “has recovered”.

Martha is going to dominate the debate. That’s what feminazi’s do. I hope Ryan has one coaching him on how to push back without being a jerk.
