Tuesday’s second Presidential Debate: Obama vs Romney

Posted on by

I believe you can count on these points:

1. Obama will come out swinging;
2. Romney had better have some major details in re his plans;
3. Obama cannot afford to be seen as obnoxious as Biden; he will be treading a fine line;

I will be blogging on this and updating as events occur.

It has started.  Live-stream here.  I am watching this very specific live stream.

Romney, in terms of energy, just made some massive factual points against Obama.

Romney: “That wasn’t a question, that’s a statement.”  NICE.

Governor Romney: time to REMIND Mr Obama that HIS budgets were roundly REFUSED by BOTH the Demorats and Republicans.  Mr Obama cannot even achieve ONE budgetary vote??  Paul Ryan actually ACQUIRED votes for HIS budget.

Mr Obama: where is YOUR budget?

Apparently Mr Obama learned nothing from Joe Biden.  Smirks and smiles whilst Romney speaks won’t play very well.

Obama’s voice is clearly an octave over what he normally displays.  Mr Romney’s is not.

More smiling by Mr Obama quite like Joe Biden.  He ought not to go there.

Romney stepped away from Bush.  And well he should have.  I disagreed with Mr Bush on any number of domestic and foreign issued.  Bush spent like a drunken sailor.  I can only hope that Romney will NOT.

Mr Obama still speaks in an octave above, yet with the “points” that Obama made, Mr Romney did not go for the “throat.”

Mr Obama EXPOSED his throat for you, sir.

THANK YOU!  You just KILLED Mr Obama with the FOODSTAMP FIGURES!

Obama: “our crossings are lower than they have been in 40 years.”

Hello?  Because our economy is the WORST that it has been in years!

Romney: Obama said he wanted those who were “normal” to NOT be challenged on the borders.

How about, Mr Obama, our CITIZENS to NOT be challenged when they try to BOARD AN AMERICAN COMMERCIAL AIRCRAFT?

Mr Obama “takes the failure”?

Hello??  The first ambassador assassinated since 1979?

A strategy of “leading from behind”?

“Grieving with the families?”  You sent them FORM LETTERS, you bastard.

When the audience applauds for a Candy Crowley point, that audience is IN THE TANK for Mr Obama.  Particularly when they were ADMONISHED to NOT make applause.

Romney, now, here, was particularly quiescent.

And FINALLY Romney mentions FAST & FURIOUS.  And Candy Crowley did her best to diffuse this point.

Romney still mentions China as a “currency manipulator.”

Obama says we should “LOWER OUR CORPORATE TAX RATE” — ??

Candy Crowley cut Mitt Romney off.

“That government creates jobs.  That’s not what I believe.”

You LIE, Mr Obama!  You LIE!

No rebuttal?  Clearly biased.

Per ABC News: “President Obama will come out with a narrow win.”

Obama: won’t get fooled again

Posted on by

Mr Obama wasn’t happy, nor were his Minions, following his first debate with Mitt Romney.

Quotes back then included CNN reporting that Obama said: “Basically they’re keeping me indoors all the time. It’s a drag.  They’re making me do my homework.”

Obama was predominantly disinterested, just as he has been for the bulk of his presidency.  He is too damned good for the job which, truly, when you bottom-line it all, is a Truism we all need to recognize.

“This time,” however, things may be different.  Mr Obama has allegedly been “cramming” for the past four days.

Though, according to the Chicago Tribune, Mr Obama is going to face some significant challenges as the topics include, in the second debate this Tuesday, both foreign and domestic policies:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Losing ground to Republican Mitt Romney on a host of issues, President Barack Obama faces a serious challenge to put his re-election bid back on track when the two men face off on Tuesday in their second debate.

Obama’s passive performance in their first debate two weeks ago and Romney’s subsequent surge have raised expectations for a more fiery encounter at New York’s Hofstra University.

Mr Obama’s handlers are indicating he’s going to come out fast and furious himself — though he’ll be doing his level best to completely avoid Fast & Furious itself.  He’ll simply be more aggressive.  However, one very interesting point from Nancy Cordes of CBS News:

But also because if the Obama campaign is looking for a comeback, a way to turn around his performance from the first debate, it’s challenging. He can’t go after Gov. Romney as much as he would in a normal debate format because he’s also is going to have to be working on connecting with the members of the audience and dealing with the questions they are asking.

Your thoughts or predictions on tomorrow’s debate?

“Do black people support Obama because he’s black?”

Posted on by

Only idiot GOWP Caucasoids would be sufficiently daft to even pose this question.

Yet, according to the Associated Press, this is a question of heft, bearing and serious import:

Are black people supporting Obama mainly because he’s black? If race is just one factor in blacks’ support of Obama, does that make them racist? Can blacks’ support for Obama be compared with white voters who may favor his Republican challenger, Mitt Romney, because he’s white?

Let me make this simple for the Leftists who may occasionally visit.

In a word: yes.

Not just regular yes, but extra-crispy yes.

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.
