Less than 3 hours to the Ryan – Biden debate

Posted on by

And frankly, I can’t wait.

In preparation for the debate, Joe Biden washes his Trans Am.

Any predictions?  I have one:

I think Biden is going to attempt to play “hard-ball” with Mr Ryan and ask the questions that people “wanted Obama to.”  I see Biden thinking of himself as the White Knight riding up in order to cleanse the dark arena of its Conservative Scourge.  He will be the Savior of the Leftists, come to the aid of Mr Obama with his quick wit, acerbic tongue and witty repartee.

My thought is borne out by this LA Times article.

I suspect Biden will attempt to make his attempt for the proverbial jugular.  Demorats secretly say their entire hopes rest on Biden.  That in itself is rather shocking.

However: if he decides to go there, I’m suspecting that Ryan will decapitate Mr Biden and simply watch the exsanguination.

As will I.

This, if anything, will be highly entertaining.

Can Paul Ryan continue the momentum, or will Joe Biden somehow shift that momentum?

Ah, the adoring, peaceful, understanding, sympathetic, non-violent, non-judgmental, all-inclusive, free-speech-loving Leftists in this country:

You know, the same people who Occupy Wall Street and vote for Mr Obama.

Frankly, this Newsweek cover again says it all:

Make Barack Hussein Obama “hit the road” in twenty-seven days.

VOTE.

Factual summary of last Wednesday’s presidential debate:

And thanks to TOTUS for the “heads-up.”

P.S.
Make no mistake; Mr Obama is again disinterested, uninvolved and arrogant.  When the New York Times writes a piece like this, you know the brass is tarnishing rapidly:

Obama’s Enthusiasm Gap:

All the post-game punditry aside, President Obama didn’t really blow Wednesday night’s debate in any spectacular or memorable way, the way George H.W. Bush glanced at his watch, or the way Al Gore sighed dramatically. Mr. Obama’s transgression was that he seemed to simply endure it. It was as if he had turned to his advisers at some point and said, “OK, I’ll show up at this thing with Mitt, but I am not getting drawn into some kind of debate.”

In this way, Mr. Obama’s performance, the first of three in any event, probably didn’t change the essential arc of the campaign, which was always going to tighten in the final month. But it did tell us something about what many feel is missing from his presidency.

 Watching the president grimace his way through the restrained back-and-forth reminded me of a conversation I recently had with a friend in Democratic politics, who posited that Mr. Obama simply doesn’t love being president. Not that he doesn’t want the job or believe he should have it, or that its challenges don’t give him plenty of cause for stress or solemnity — just that he doesn’t appear to actually enjoy the daily business of running the country.

Mr Obama is better than this, better than you, better than me, better than all of us.  And we’d damned well best realize it.

The empty chair:

First, we saw this wonderful cartoon from Michael Ramirez:

[And please note, if you will, the type of chair it is.]

Then we saw this cover from The New Yorker:

Coincidence?

I think not.

Leftists are displeased.

And polls aren’t going well for The One: 49% to 45%.

More importantly: a week after the first debate.  What’s that about?

Jim Lehrer responds to “I was a poor moderator”

Posted on by

The Leftists came completely uncorked following Wednesday’s debate.

Mr Obama’s poor showing simply could not be the result of his poor showing.

Instead, it had to be other influences: sunspots, tidal pull, the Coriolis Effect, the nasty altitude in Denver and, of course, Jim Lehrer.

Mr Lehrer responded to the mass excoriation:

I thought the format accomplished its purpose, which was to facilitate direct, extended exchanges between the candidates about issues of substance. Part of my moderator mission was to stay out of the way of the flow and I had no problems with doing so. My only real personal frustration was discovering that ninety minutes was not enough time in that more open format to cover every issue that deserved attention.

I have to agree.  One important duty of a moderator is to “get out of the way” of the candidates.

That said, the Obama Handlers have decided it’s time to get back in Chicago-Style Politics As Usual.  No shock there.
