Obama supporters: I have some excellent advice you should give to Obama concerning tomorrow's debate

[mtnsnake]

Tell him to call in sick!! For the sake of his own reputation, it just is not worth going through with this!

Look, if Barack shows up for this debate tomorrow, he may never be the same candidate who you once loved and admired. Hillary is planning on going up one side of him, down the other, and back up again just for kicks. It will not be pretty. You already saw how he could barely get the words out of his mouth when he tried to respond to the mocking she gave him this weekend. Do you really want to see him be stuck for words again tomorrow night, live in front of a national audience? :shrug:

Remember how Hillary made believe she cried? Well, Obama should make like he's got the flu or laryngitis or anything that gives him an honorable excuse to skip out of town for this next debate.

My friends, I swear I'm just trying to help out here. If Obama is crazy enough to go through with this, just don't say I didn't try to warn you. OK?

[tabatha]

1. Obama will handle it just fine.

[jasmine621]

73. All Obama has to is be PRESENT.

He doesn't have to say anything of substance, just take jabs. Not one of his supporters will notice.

[Scurrilous]

2. Advice you can Xerox!

:thumbsup:

[caligirl]

3. Obama should smile from ear to ear, he is awesome and so is his smile.

[niceypoo]

9. That would show some depth now, wouldnt it?

[caligirl]

40. oh poop, guess not, but it can't hurt.

[babylonsister]

4. Bwhaha hahaha hahaha hahaha!

:smoke:

[ingac70]

5. Hillary is just going to make things worse for herself...

That plagiarism crap cost her big in Wisconsin.

[MannyGoldstein]

6. Obama Is A Big Boy

Skilled in verbal Judo - he'll bounce Clinton's crapattacks right back at her.

That being said, I don't think people will pay much attention to Obama - they'll be tuning in for the Brittney Spears of politics. Can't wait to see what kind of nutty stuff she'll pull tomorrow.

:popcorn:

[shrub chipper]

7. Hope she doesn't shave her head before the debate!

That has to be next.

[MannyGoldstein]

11. She'll Get My Vote If She Does

:rofl:

That would be cool.

[mtnsnake]

16. I might have to talk to her about that, then

Dam she's pretty, shaved head or not

[thevoiceofreason]

22. That's funny. I don't care who you support, that's funny.

[Larry in KC]

78. I have to admit, I didn't realize the similarity! It could happen, couldn't it?

[Window]

29. Oh, no.

The Brittney Spears of politics. ROTFLMAO!


:rofl:

[backscatter712]

34. LEAVE HILLARY ALONE!!!

[Window]

38. Too funny.

:rofl:

[Johnny__Motown]

8. ah yes, because of the tough questions he will be asked concerning his behavior, oh... wait .. I

Hillary will either need to make nice, which will expose that everything she did this weekend as a series of lies.

Or she needs to go on the attack and multiply her "Xerox" moment by a thousand.


Hillary is in a lose lose situation, she will lose. Then on March 4th she will lose some more.


Check the polls, she is losing it, again.

[truedelphi]

13. Dee Dee Meyers on CNN is explaining that it is all about gender.

And that poor Hillary - she just couldn't help it - her advisors made her go over the top on toughness (and remember it was the toughness angle that kept her from being able to apologize about her IWR vote)
And then when she needed to be seen as human, and cried, many of us were suspicious that she was faking it.

It's a shame no one told her to just be herself.

[Window]

32. Exactly.

Peace:thumbsup:

[kimsterdemster]

52. Yes...n/t

[Johnny__Motown]

54. Not being able to help herself, isn't that the one thing we want in a President? maybe she will win.

NOT

[bunnies]

64. Whats a shame is that she would *have* to be told to be herself.

It says a lot about someone if they need to be instructed to be genuine.

[truedelphi]

80. There is this story the press tells about

Meeting with her, I think this was back in December, and they said, "Now just relax and be yourself" and she spent the next ten minutes re-arranging the pillows on the couch.

I don't think that strangers or campaigning comes very naturally to her. I have known people who have met her in her home, around her family and her friends, and they found her warm and funny and charming.

And I have thought she has improved in terms of energizing her audience.

It's just her years of triangulation, duplicity etc don't allow me to like her.

[billyoc]

10. Obama will not leave a scrap of flesh on Clinton's bones for the buzzards to peck at.

A Chicago machine Democrat against the girl in the plastic bubble? You've got to be kidding me. :eyes:

[Obamaman2008]

12. You are as delusional as she is.

[stop the bleeding]

14. yeah cause calling in sick will garner more votes than getting the HRC beat-down

:crazy:

[NoBushSpokenHere]

15. I am sure Hillary has something up her sleeve for him BUT

I have a feeling he will show us all what a great President he will be. He has run an excellent campaign so far and I am sure he can handle whatever she throws at him. If not, you can sing the "I was right song", if I am correct, you can buy me a beer!

[autorank]

17. I'll make you a bet. Obama will have a Joseph Welch moment with her.

He'll just pull out a come back that sends her reeling and she won't even know the difference.

[peaches2003]

24. I doubt too many here know who Joseph Welch was, but

that is a very fitting comment. He should just sit there and let her destroy herself. It could be a short debate.

[autorank]

57. You did!

That's such a classic interaction - he made McCarthy look like the monster he was at the key moment.

Made Ike's life easier since he didn't have to stand up for the people or the army.

Bentsen had a Welch moment, didn't he. That was just perfectly delivered and he meant it too. That true patrician bearing looking down on Quayle. Yikes.

I'm agnostic on Obama but not on the movement forming around him. There's a lot of hope.

We'll see what he does.

[scheming daemons]

18. Why? He's got a ring-side seat to the greatest show in decades....

...the self-evisceration of Hillary Clinton

[ProSense]

19. Xerox! n/t

[KittyWampus]

46. since they'll be in Ohio, maybe Hillary can find an Ohio state Senator to insult like she did in TXs

[AZBlue]

20. Wow...what planet do you live on?

What debates do you watch? What Presidential candidates do you know? Seriously, there's not an ounce of reality in that post.

[thevoiceofreason]

21. And back at you

Tell Hillary to hire someone who has a lick of fashion sense.

Since you have her ear, and all.

[peaches2003]

26. Will she be pretty in pink tonight

to look like the helpless female if things really get bad?

[ContinentalOp]

23. LOL! OMG

I had a bad day but this made it all better. Thanks for the laugh!

[John Q. Citizen]

25. Obama is a secret Jedi Master and will turn Hillary into a frog resembling the graphic on

Maddie's posts.

Be afraid. Be very afraid....

[TheDonkey]

27. I look forward to seeing Hillary get booed out of the buckeye state when she goes batshit crazy

on Obama in desperation.

[Window]

28. Oooooh, we're so frightened...NOT.

You are one sick puppy.



:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Bluerthanblue]

30. Obama doesn't need your advice- and I do believe he has enough

integrety not do take it, even if you offered it.

I hope for Hillary's sake, she stops listening to who ever is feeding her the kind of advice she is using lately, because NOTHING is worth becoming what she appears willing to in order "to win".


"Remember how Hillary made believe she cried?"-

Do you think she didn't? You think she used people by pretending to cry and you still think she is the best candidate?


:shrug:


peace~

[cooolandrew]

31. I think Barack has nothing to lose he mostly has to say nothing. As long as he is calm and gracious.

[Danger Mouse]

33. Psh. He won't take her bait.

The nastier it gets, the worst it plays for her. People who already support her might enjoy it, but voters that are on the fence will not like it.
The Xerox comment did not play well.

[Window]

35. SHAME ON YOU mtnsnake!!!! Meet me in DU tomorrow night.

Enough with stupid posts and big rhetoric!

The light will come down tomorrow night.



:rofl:

[mtnsnake]

43. OK but just make sure you show up alone, midnight sharp...

Tokyo time :smoke:

[Window]

36. LOL! You don't even know which Hillary will show up tomorrow.

:rofl:

[ginnyinWI]

48. that will be the most interesting part

Which Hillary will show up?

Angry, scornful Hillary?
Nice, statesmanlike Hillary?
Vulnerable, teary-eyed Hillary?
"Girlfriend" Hillary?

We know which Barack will show up: the same one he always is. Thoughtful, cordial, cool, well-spoken.

[Window]

58. Most interesting indeed.

I can't wait.



Peace:thumbsup:

[jakem]

66. the hillaries will all be there-

Angry, scornful Hillary? CHECK!
Nice, statesmanlike Hillary? CHECK!
Vulnerable, teary-eyed Hillary? CHECK!
"Girlfriend" Hillary? EW...

[Yael]

37. Wow -- thats a GREAT idea!

[VolcanoJen]

50. Yael, I was about to post it if you didn't.

;-)

[Blue-Jay]

39. I'll get right on that!

:rofl:

[Catherine Vincent]

41. I don't think Hillary will beat up on him much.

The outcome could backfire like it did with Lazio.

[NeedleCast]

42. I very much hope she ruthlessly attacks

it's worked out so well for her so far.

[DUyellow]

44. bookmarked just for the bump tomorrow

[DUyellow]

83. bump

[ContinentalOp]

84. LOL!

It was worth a good laugh before the debates. Today it's just a little sad.

[book_worm]

45. Thank you, John McCain (The "My Friends" in the last paragraph gave you away)

:)
But I can understand how you feel. You would rather go up against Hillary than Obama.

[mtnsnake]

47. Your welcome, my friend

:)

[VolcanoJen]

49. A DUer wrote the other day that he should just sit there eating a bowl of cereal.

Who was that? It was a great line!

Just sit there eating a bowl of cereal, occassionally looking up to say "hmmm" or "uh-huh" or "no" or "word." :-)

[BigBearJohn]

51. Ok. I support Hillary, but that comment made me chuckle.

What an image.

[Buzz Clik]

70. "Yes, dear. Sure. Um hmmm. Okay."

And, finally, "Well, I've got to go to work. I have a big meeting in Denver coming up. Are you planning on attending, too? No need, I suppose."

[Muzza]

53. I think she is going to rip him apart. It's not going to be pretty!

[Barack_America]

55. mtnsnake, my friend, what will you do with yourself when Hillary drops out?

:shrug:

[anigbrowl]

56. Yeah, I'm not sure I want him on our side in the GE.

I hear Ron Paul always needs supporters though.

[JI7]

59. "Remember how Hillary made believe she cried?"

[cali]

60. And watch Hilly get booed! Watch Hilly look like a

desperate mean failure, and Barack looking dignified and above her petty bullshit. Watch Hilly's poll numbers plummet the next day! Can't wait to watch her screw herself again.

[my3boyz]

61. Mmmmmhmmm....yeah right

Keep talking! Clinton BEGGED for a debate with him in Texas. He showed the American people who was ready to be president. The only good moment Hillary had is when she PRETENDED to care about the American people at the end. NUMEROUS polls after the debate showed that he increased in the polls and she dropped. I wonder which Hillary will show up tonight? She has so many split personalities.

* Also, I hope Barack does not pretend to like her at the debate. I would not hold her chair out. She does not deserve that much respect. She deliberately went after his CHARACTER (not policy) this week and that is unacceptable. Even though Barack agrees with her he has never brought himself down to the point of trying to destroy her PERSONALLY! Hillary is a desperate person and I hope Barack remains calm regardless of what she says and shows the American people just how desperate she is.

[Perry Logan]

62. BELLY LAUGH!

Glad I wasn't drinking coffee when I clicked on this sucker.

[karynnj]

63. Don't people tend to get into trouble taking advise from snakes?

Was that you in the garden of Eden?

He can and should be just as he was in the last debate - pleasant and Presidential. If HRC acts as you say, the best he could do is to take a deep breath, remember who he is and respond as rationally and as compassionately as he can. The one that will lose in that case will be HRC, who will be called on that behavior.

I honestly doubt she will act like that - I think we will see an appearance of your "Goddess of Peace". The best she could do is keep the entire debate in the tone of her last question last time. Then, the danger to Obama, is if he comes in already offended by her behavior this week. His job would be to match her niceness.

[mtnsnake]

67. snakefucius say: She who gets her opponent acting all angry is most likely to succeed.

If Obama makes the mistake of showing up tonight, Hillary will calmly say some things to get him off his game. I remember in one of the early debates someone, I think it might have been Kucinich, got Obama all pissed off and Obama clearly was not the same calm guy when he loses his cool that we're always used to seeing.

Hillary is going to go after him but in a tactical, but firm way. Obama is going to lose his cool, which will not be good for his image. Wait and see, karynnj :smoke:

[karynnj]

76. I say that people have very big differences in the terms of length of fuse

Those who can keep their cool and not react to provocation have a very big advantage. You note one of the few instances when Obama reacted at all - other than Kerry - Obama might be the best at refusing to respond in anger.

It is MUCH more likely that if she did what you said, there would be many negatives things said about her.

[WilliamPitt]

65. You're gonna be a lot of fun next Wednesday

[mtnsnake]

72. But in the meantime, this place will be gloomy tomorrow after Hillary reveals a side of Obama

tonight that few people on DU will be happy to see.

I think Hillary is going to do everything within her power tonight to get Barack off his game. IOW, I believe she's going to say some things to him or about him that will cause him to lose his cool and come off as unpresidential. The couple times in the past that Obama got angry, he could barely get the words out of his mouth. If he can stay cool, he'll be ok, but if she can get him to lose it, then he's going to be hurt.

I fully expect by this time next Wednesday the Goddess of Peace will have everything going her way, starting with tonight where Obama gives in to his emotions. :smoke:

[mculator]

68. Present, She Can!

[Buzz Clik]

69. LOL! You wasted one of your three threads on THIS?

Hillary needs a BIG win in Texas and Ohio to stay alive. How's that working out?

[Occam Bandage]

71. And some advice for Clinton: Press him hard on the issues of

the duplicate keys to the wardroom icebox, and the missing strawberries. I advise using geometric logic.

[jasmine621]

75. All he has to do is apologize for the pamphlets, say it was a mistake

not to check out what was being sent out in his name and Hillary will have no where to go with this issue. I only hope she is prepared for this kind of response, it would be striking.

[Buzz Clik]

77. It would be amazing. However,...

why apologize? Hillary was begging Obama to draw contrasts between their stands on the issues, and he did. She simply didn't like seeing it.

[mmonk]

74. No, the debate will be good for him. He'll know what to expect

from the Republicans and he can hone his skills.

[meow mix]

79. ROFL HAHA LOL

good one man... u r funny.

[bigtree]

81. sounds like pro wrestling

[whatchamacallit]

82. Sounds like you're scared for Hill and are hoping SHE doesn't have to go through it.

Just sayin

[Drunken Irishman]

85. So, how'd that turn out?

[jenmito]

86. ...

:toast: :D
