What caused Obama’s poor debate performance?
MSNBC: Up With Chris Hayes ^ | October 7, 2012 | John McWhorter

Posted on 10/09/2012 10:18:28 AM PDT by Seizethecarp

(@ 4:05) I can't make sense out of it. It's been said in some places and no, not by me that obama actually, this has been said by people that maybe he's not very bright. The other night I actually wondered what's wrong with him. I don't think it's because he's afraid to be an angry black man to say the things you were talking about would not have looked angry, just intelligence. I suspect he's used to being riding on that charisma of his. I think he thought standing there and being his larger than life self would take care of things.

First of all, a “Projectile Vomit Alert” tag would have been nice since you linked to a libtard panel of idiots.

Obama IS not very bright, and I LOL’d at that brunette’s response as if it was the most unbelievable thing she’d ever heard. Are these people that stupid? Obama’s NOT smart when someone doesn’t have their hand up his arse like a puppet, telling him what to say.

Would MSNBC PLEASE hire a ten year old to show them how to upload videos to the internet!?! Sheesh, waiting five minutes for a streaming video to load then having it act like it has already played just doesn’t get it.

[Note: Quote from another FR thread, comments are mine.]

_________

” - - - “He [Obama] falls down in thinking that the well made argument wins the argument and in politics it doesn’t work that way.” - - - “

This is a very revealing, insightful observation!

Ponder this:

1.) This observation goes a long way towards explaining the fact of Obama’s arrogance: Once Obama states his argument, everybody must agree that all future DISCUSSION is just mindless bickering.

2.) In the last debate, whenever Romney made a BETTER “well made argument” than the argument that Obama was thinking of, Obama just nodded his head in defeat, and looked at the floor anxious to go stand in the corner.

3.) As a weak and incompetent financial steward, all CHALLENGES to his memorized statements render Obama unable to comprehend that he has to think on his feet, by himself against an adversary.

As a result Obama is able only to repeat his memorized statement. For example, just count the number of times that Obama repeated the “5 Trillion Dollars” after Romney told him that wasn’t in his plan.

_______

I have put 3 key words in caps from the above 3 thoughts.

Consider now, that we are hiring a CEO to run the World’s most powerful company, in this case the US Federal Government.

IMHO, a good CEO would want to hold frequent Board Meetings to encourage DISCUSSION, generate BETTER arguments, and CHALLENGE every idea from every angle.

How then, you LURKERS, can you vote for Obama who is lacking in all 3 of these CEO characteristics?

____

In summary, the last debate was CEO Romney against street-smart, incompetent Obama. Both men were at their natural best.

Remember, this man has not had a genuine press conference since (I believe) June. He’s never seriously been grilled and forced to defend his ideas or policies. Such as they are.

Couple the debate with the Univision interview, and it was a one-two punch to the gut for the Won.

Intelligent defines someone who has the ability to learn quickly.

Ignorant is being unaware of the facts.

Stupid is the inability to learn.

Since Obama flunked kindergarten, has sealed or “lost” his school records, fried his brain by “using drugs enthusiastically,” (his words in his book about dreams of his Father), it is doubtful that Obama is intelligent. For example, Obama still believes that there are 57 States in the USA.

Obama is not capable of learning how to attend his own Jobs Council, while telling lies to the Media that everyday he works on jobs, jobs, jobs.

Obama’s on-the-job-training has been a failure in the financial stewardship and foreign policy areas. For example, Obama was incapable of passing a spending Budget in his 4 budget years on the job.

Obama must therefore be graded stupid, or near stupid in those areas.

Obama considers discussion to be mindless bickering, and is thus easily lectured to by stronger minds such as Putin, Netanyahu and Romney.

IOW, Obama does not play well with others. Guess his kindergarten teacher was right!

Prayers-millions of them—caused it.

Gives me hope that God has not abandoned us yet, even after 60 million abortions.

Just saw him telling a group of supporters that after the debate his people told him he was too nice.

Every time he is supposedly self deprecating, this is all he comes up with, I’m too nice, I was too presidential, I had an imperfect day........waahhhh

“First of all, a “Projectile Vomit Alert” tag would have been nice since you linked to a libtard panel of idiots.”

Mods removed my “on MSNBC” and “maybe he's just not that bright” tags. I think they thought I was the one who was being “racist” or something.

Who knows?

By all accounts even Zero doesn’t know. (I understand mom was a “get around Sue.”) Maybe it’s time to apply a little DNA science.

Obama hasn’t had to come up with an original thought for four years. Every public appearance has been scripted and TOTUS has been his constant companion. He holds a minimum of press conferences and filibusters through them making absolutely no sense.

The whole Obama-fawning press scene is like a secret club where everyone possesses superior knowledge to the rest of us dunces and we dunces don’t really see or understand how superior Obama and his sycophants are.

No one in the secret club wants to be kicked out, so they just go along with the flow and don’t make waves by reporting the truth.

A few in the club are starting to rebel. Wonder if there will eventually be wholesale rebellion.
