Yes, President B. Hussein Obama did do more than a little poorly during his first debate with Presidential candidate Mitt Romney.

My take(s)?

Romney showed the stand up and take charge, fully informed and thinking on his feet demeanor I like to believe are hallmarks of a true leader, supplying the basis’ for his solutions to our nation’s deep seated fiscal problems while Obama turned in the kind of lackluster performance one associates with someone who not only doesn’t have “the facts” at his fingertips, but can’t think on his feet and, in the final analysis, really doesn’t have anything to say.

After all, how can you tout your proactive accomplishments when you have no proactive accomplishments to tout?

As Wesley Pruden so deftly put it:

Now we’ll see how much debates really matter. Often they don’t matter much. But the presidential debate Wednesday night might matter a great deal, not because of what the candidates said, but what the debate told us about who the candidates really are.

Barack Obama was revealed to be the empty suit with a great gift of gab and a talent only for appealing to the nation’s guilty conscience. Some of us recognized the empty suit four years ago. Like all great salesmen, he can charm prospective customers when he tries, but without a teleprompter he’s hopelessly lost at sea. On Wednesday night, he forgot whether he was selling rubbing alcohol or ladies’ corsets, and it showed.

Anyway,

SNIP!

Mitt Romney, to our considerable surprise, has a gift for talking to the common man. He may be one of us, after all. This is particularly important in an age when everybody wants the president to feel his pain and the first lady to come over with a green-bean casserole. He arrived with a game plan and kept to it. He used the word “jobs” more than 30 times. It became a mantra. He was confident, respectful, and looked to be the man in charge of the evening. He showed unexpected flashes of humor….

Speaking of humor, I hate to laugh at something as pitiful as this, but then again, Obama’s presidency, if you could indeed call it that, has, at least for a patriotic American, been pretty pitiful.

Obama Sends Bizarre Fundraising E-mail After Debate Loss

Waking up this morning, I had a ton of e-mail in my inbox, but one really stood out. It was a fundraising e-mail for Barack Obama. Yes, even after his dismal debate performance against Mitt Romney, Obama was back to fundraising. But his e-mail message was one of the strangest I’ve seen.

First, let’s start with the subject line. Again… this was an e-mail from Barack Obama’s campaign. Supposedly, these are not a bunch of amateurs. Yet the subject line was simply: Hey. That’s it. Just “Hey.” They might have well just said Yo!

Then, we have the e-mail itself. Here is the entire message:

Friend –

I hope I made you proud out there explaining the vision we share for this country.

Now we need to go win this election — the most important thing that will happen tonight is what you do (or don’t do) to help in the little time we have left:

Thank you,

Barack

His whole debate review is one sentence? I guess the brevity speaks louder than words. If anyone was proud of that performance, I guess they WOULD be likely candidates to still give him money.

Then, Obama talks about “the most important thing,” which is not the debate, but giving Obama money. That’s the most important thing about last night? Maybe in Barack Obama’s eyes. In the eyes of most Americans, I’m sure the most important thing was that the president of the United States can’t defend his policies and showed that he is completely out of touch.

What do you think? It sure seems like an odd e-mail to send following a complete debacle at the debate. Oh well… at least he considers me a friend.

Heh heh…

Of course, with support from loonbeams like this, anyone would be depressed to the point of near speechlessness.

Democrat Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi took it a step farther on CNN. When talking to Wolf Blitzer, she said killings were the fault of House Republicans: “It’s also important to note that the Republican appropriation Congress gave the administration $300 million less than it asked for the State Department, including funding for security.”

This insane accusation cannot stand any kind of objective scrutiny. Administrations routinely “high-ball” their requests so that Congress can come in lower and still given them money. There is no evidence that Pelosi’s alleged missing millions prevented security from being beefed up—nor has anyone ventured such an accusation until Pelosi made it up on CNN. Security was not increased because someone decided not to increase it.

In fact, according to Breitbart.com, the White House had suggested cutting $129 million of the present budget from “embassy security, construction, and maintenance.”

So where is the media outrage at Pelosi’s transparent ploy to deflect attention away from the president’s policies in an election year, using the death of our diplomats to do it? Not only did she make such an outrageous suggestion, but she did so in a face to face interview with a mainstream TV interviewer. That tells us she had perfect confidence that, whether or not she was able to convince anyone, she would suffer no consequences.

Only Romney gets punished for speaking; Pelosi gets a free ride.

Yes, the obstacle to the truth called The Mainstream Media, there’s that, too.

After the fact, when he was no longer facing Romney, Obama suddenly had lots to say, leaving the question hanging, “Is our president a coward as well as a politics first and last, staunch destructionist, having to make his more aggressive statements when he’s not face-to-face with an opponent?”

In an attempt to recover from a disappointing Presidential debate, President Barack Obama blasted his Republican challenger for not being “the real Mitt Romney” by contradicting his own beliefs.

In campaign appearances after the debate, Obama said the Romney he met on the stage on Wednesday night was not the same Romney he knew.

“When I got on the stage, I met this very spirited fellow who claimed to be Mitt Romney. But I know it couldn’t have been Mitt Romney — because the real Mitt Romney has been running around the country for the last year promising $5 trillion in tax cuts that favour the wealthy,” he said.

“Yet, the fellow on the stage last night — who looked like Mitt Romney — said he did not know anything about that.

It was all news to him. The real Mitt Romney said that we don’t need any more teachers in the classroom.

“But the fellow on stage last night, he said he loves teachers — can’t get enough of them,” he said.

He accused Romney of being dishonest on a host of policy issues and accused him of glossing over details of his economic plan.

Great, why didn’t he say all that during the debate? Because then Romney would have been there to once again expose him for the incompetent, clueless phony he really is. It was much more convenient to wait until after the debate, when Romney was nowhere to be seen, to speak his dubious piece without danger of once again being shown up as the liar this POTUS is.

Debating outside the debate actually goes well with a man whose political party is famous for legislating from the bench.

The consensus is that Romney administered a good, solid butt kicking during the debate, and that he garnered a significant increase in support as such.

Now the Obama camp is scrambling to teach their mouthpiece how to debate in time for the next one.

Good luck with that…
