Obama camp tips hand on debate, hints president will attack Romney on Bain
Fox News ^

Posted on 10/14/2012 6:58:56 AM PDT by Blue Turtle

As President Obama began to hunker down at a plush resort here for three full days of debate prep, his campaign team signaled the incumbent may steal a page from Vice President Joe Biden and show a more aggressive tone in Tuesday's second face-to-face showdown with Republican Mitt Romney. "Gov. Romney has been making pitches all of his life and he knows how to say what people want to hear whether that was during his time at Bain or during the dozens of town halls he did during the primary," said Obama campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Saturday.

They lied with their “tip” that Joker Biden would be causing Ryan to separate himself from Romney during their debate.

So, I conclude that this is another lie.

(What a difficult decision to reach, LOL.)

Obama contributed to unemployment by giving Solyndra millions
of dollars only to have them go bankrupt and let all of their employees go. At least Romney didn’t use taxpayer money to reduce employment. I think Romney will be ready for anything
brain dead Obama can throw at him. The one thing Obama cannot do is, defend his record.

Look at that smile. Has anyone noticed all the “say cheese” fake smiles, posing, pimp walking, “fake” athletic prancing up stairs, and downright acting this president does? When will someone expose it? It is just a outlandish as Biden’s fake “act” the other night.....all for show.

“You cannot be pro-jobs and anti-business at the same time. You cannot love employment and hate employers.” 1992 Democratic National Convention. [1]

‘Everything we hope to do, depends on an expanding economic pie. And only a vibrant, competitive, thriving private sector can create that. Government is a necessary partner, but it is the junior partner. Only the private sector can produce the revenues for the social programs that we Democrats care so much about. The financing of those programs through ever more public debt violates our generation responsibility.’

to quote Paul Tsongas
(I do think some democrats have good ideas.)

Seriously, these people see the world much differently than we do. Carney’s view of the VP debate is amazing to me.

The Left doesn't really believe much of what they say.

Hope he does bring up Bain. Romney will turn it against Obama just like he did when he brought up Romney-care. 53% of americans do get what the free capital markets are all about. Romney should provide some specifics. Talk about how he took failing companies, invested money, and created jobs and wealth for 100’s of thousands of employees. And he should say, that Bain created net more jobs than Obama has in the entire US economy.

People are looking for leadership. Bain can be a very positive for Romney as it shows executive leadership and job creation. The Bain attacks were not the reason Romney was behind in August. 60% have said for months the country was on the wrong track. But yet Romney wasnt leading the head to head poll numbers. It’s because they didn’t really know who he was. That changed in Denver, and now Romney is seen as a very credible alternative to Obama.

Romney will be ready and have a very good debate. The debates in and of themselves do not determine the election. It was what Romney was able to demonstrate unfiltered by Obama and the MSM that has changed this race. I doubt Obama will do as bad as the first time. But unless Romney makes some major gaffe, the trajectory of this election is moving toward him more and more each day.

If true, it's a losing strategy.

I keep waiting for one of them to tell the truth about GM in one of the debates. Both BHO and JB have mentioned it repeatedly. They keep hammering how great GM is and American’s back on top, blah, blah, blah. It’s not and we’re not! The American people don’t realize this, IMO.

He already lost a bunch of independent voters at the first debate. I guess he’s going to try to lose the rest on Tuesday.

I hope to hell you’re not holding your breath waiting on that to happen!

—I’m paranoid. I think it’s red herring.—

I wouldn’t worry. Romney is like a pro shortstop. He can handle the pop-up. the line drive and the hard grounder.

He is pro and Obama is little league. No amount of “cramming” on obama’s part will change that.

Haha! No, but I did get to hear Paul Ryan say that even confiscating all wealth from the upper incomes would run the country for 128 days or some such the other night. I think saying that the tax increase BHO wants would run the country for 8 days is easier to visualize but at least he got it out there.

Rehashing old attacks. They are running out of ammo.

Yep - attacking Romney on Bain would be like a second grade math teacher trying to attack Einstein on Relativity.

The future does not belong to those who blame others.

Don’t mean to toot my own horn but that phrase could prove useful to Romney in the debates. Someone who has access to the campaign should pass it on.

Ok, so let me get this correct.
obama is going to push Bain, even though when he did that in his ads, it changed little to nothing.
And now, face to face obama is going to push Bain where Romney has an opportunity to answer/explain the accusations presented.
obama is really one of the stupidest people on earth, and his handlers are no better.

And all employers pay into the unemployment compensation fund...so people who he had to lay off to save some of these companies...didn’t just go without unemployment. I think Romney needs to point that out for the American people. Employers pay UC, that fund only exists if there are jobs and employers.

I’ve done a lot of research into Bain Capital, and while they did and have helped many struggling businesses - they are not into job creation. Their primary interest is to the investors and they leave the management and employee problems to the companies they bail out. Some were successful - some weren’t. That’s all a part of a capitalistic society.

That’s the reason Mitt said that GM should be allowed to go bankrupt, and they should have. They could have reorganized under a chapter 11 and the taxpayers wouldn’t have been on the hook for the bailout.

There is much more to what venture capitalists do than what I care to go into detail here.

I also understand what Mitt is going to do to the big government bureaucracy after understanding what was done at Bain Capital to trim costs. Big government is going to be squealing like stuffed pigs when he gets done with them. I’ve heard him mention the 47 (?) different jobs programs that he wants to reorganize. And, he will. It will cut costs for the government and save taxpayer monies.

I suggest others do some research on this subject of Bain Capital - it is quite eye opening. Their main focus, of course, was and is for profit.
