What it boils down to (the debate)
Warning: I am about to say some things here that may be considered Anti-American and condescending, but unlike a politician, I have the freedom to be blunt.
On the one hand, Obama kept his cool, did not lie, and let Mitt look like the raging fool he was. Anywhere else but America, that would be a win.
anywhere else but America.
Sadly though, Mitt showed he had the one qualification for Success in America, the ability to lie, and be arrogant about it. Americans LIKE that, it is why, were it not for term limits, we would still be voting in Bill Clinton. Mitt not only backstabbed the Tea Party people, but he also lied about his own policy. This is no doubt in response to the fact that Tampa and Paul Ryan were NOT the boosters he wanted. He did the one thing Americans love,a transformation, which is what many wanted him to do. It has NO substance, but Americans do not care.
Obama, yes, I understand that if you got on the offensive, the sheep will cry "scary black man scary black man!" and the the so called Left is not stable enough to offer support. However, for all the dangling of Ben Ladin's head, for all of Gaddafi's corpse, in America, illusions are more important than facts. They will want to see you smack Mitt down. You have lived your life by playing chess, by carefully using strategy and deduction. Life is not chess. You mus get agressive.
Hell, let the self important clowns at MSNBC and Current act as your debate coaches, it is obvious they will try to flay you for not making them important enough, might as well use them as example of how a bunch of loud, self important jerks debate.
Yeah Ed Schulz and Tweety, I am MAD at you two. You folks always wanted Obama to do things YOUR way, and you are in the easiest job in the world: the white middle aged male pundit that gets paid to scream, and knows they will NOT actually have to deal with the aftermath. It is no accident that Rachel and Rev Al were more reasonable, because they know that when they get a tiny bit aggressive they get slammed, something those with the proper complexion and connections do not ever understand.
We can and will come back,especially after Joe Biden shreds little Paul. Paul may be a good debater, but unlike Mitt, he will want to show his face to the world. I say let Obama practice with these pundits, as they tend to lie well. Not with the Huffpo crowd: those people will not on a few leftiosts, then put on the centrists, go that we can have that Clinton/Bush election in 2016 they want, the one where Hillary gets to finish the demolition job on the left her hubby started.
