Team obama blames john kerry for debate loss

[Plasmaball]

i heard the gore excuse isnt that far fetched as it sounds. It does seem to happen...

 

[Vel]

Romney's had 50 debates this year, and is a GREAT liar. Wait til the Town Hall. Notice all the corporates jump in line , no fact check.

Biden will kick ass. LOL

So your excuse is that Obama's out of practice. And.... it's Ryan that will debate Biden.

i mean do you or do you not get jet lag just by changing time zones?

The Whiner-in-Chief plays the blame game... again. Didn't Obama ever have to take responsibility for anything in his life?

It seems many on the left never offer responsibility, not admitting Obama did poorly ( I don't get why this man can't do a friggin thing wrong) to Hillary Clinton’s “Vast right-wing conspiracy that has been conspiring against my husband since the day he announced for president.”.

It’s always the same shit, no one did anything wrong or performed poorly, it’s the rights fault. To include Clinton lying on the stand and having illicit sex in the oval office.

There is a simple reason why Obama did so poorly. He can't run on his record.

Last time around, he was well versed in his campaign promises. McCain was like a little mouse who wasn't going to challenge him because he feared being called racist. It was easy for Obama last time.

The other night we saw the real Obama. This is how he is when he doesn't have the luxury of merely reading off the teleprompter to a captive audience. He's gone 4 years getting away with making speeches to the media and having them take dictation and print it in the newspaper. Debating is not his strong point when someone wants to discuss the particulars of his record. Now he can't get away with just making fancy promises and criticizing others. He has to own up to what he's done and he doesn't want to do that.

I think debating scares him this time around because he is the one in the hot deat and he must find the words on his own to explain his actions the last 4 years, from the economy to the terrible handling of the terrorist attack in Libya.

He sure acted tough the next day when he was back in his comfort zone among drooling supporters. He likes that because he can carry on with the fancy speeches to a crowd that allows him to play the blame game.

His own actions and avoidance of hard questions for so long has left him ill prepared for a real debate.

It's not the President fault. As for the story, I agree. The story has no substance.
Who the Hell is ALEXANDER MARLOW and how did his opinion become so important?

 

[Amelia]

Did anyone mention the "Mitt cheated" excuse yet?

 

[Amelia]

Or how at the last minute Mitt hid Obama's teleprompter?

Naughty Mitt, what a rascal.

Whose fault is it then? Is it the 'airs' fault as Gore cliamed? Who cares who Alexander Marlow is he only reported on what Norah O’Donnell and Bill Plante said on "CBS This Morning".




From CBS’s “This Morning”:

Norah O’Donnell: “Some Democrats say [Obama's] campaign needs a wake-up call. Bill Plante is here with that part of the story. Bill, you’ve been talking to your sources; what are they saying?

Correspondent Bill Plante: “Well Norah, they’re simply upset and really outraged. They blame the President’s team, first of all, for not preparing him to meet the challenge of an aggressive Mitt Romney. They say that nobody in the room challenged him, including the guy that he was debating with, John Kerry, because, as they say, he wants to be Secretary of State so he’s not going to get in the President’s face. And Presidents are used to deference; they’re not used to people challenging them like that. So they think that the debate prep was terrible, but they also fault the President himself for not understanding that Romney was going to be more aggressive.”

Blame Kerry? This is Pathetic | Power Line

Let's keep a list on excuses:

1. 5,000 ft. altitude

2. Lurch

3. ?

3. It was his anniversary and he couldn't concentrate.

One of the kids from U of W at Madison chose door #3. LOL!

There's a very simple reason for Wednesday's performance by Obama. There really aren't good answers to the domestic agenda, regarding his policies over the past 4 years.

I'm guessing he'll be better in a town hall style meeting, coming up in two weeks. The audience will be able to make themselves heard. He'll get the lift that he enjoys.

A week later? Foreign policy. A sure winner? Libya? Increased aid to Egypt? Iran? Afghanistan? How's Iraq btw, since 'we' left? Borrowing from China? Sabre rattling from former USSR? Oh yes, same format at last week's debate.

The Obama campaign has been reeling since losing the first Presidential debate of this election cycle in front of 67 million viewers. They've tried--and thus far failed--to craft a narrative to explain away the debacle in Denver. Previously, we reported to you that Obama Senior Advisor David Plouffe, who ran the President's successful 2008 campaign, (falsely) accused Mitt Romney of lying. In a rare comedic moment from the typically robotic former Vice President Al Gore, he suggested on Current TV that the Mile High City's altitude was the reason Obama was low on energy and enthusiasm. Neither of those caught on with the mainstream pro-Obama media.

Now the Obama Administration is floating their latest excuse: that the campaign, particularly Romney stand-in John Kerry, did not channel Mitt's aggression enough.

From CBS's "This Morning":
Norah O'Donnell: "Some Democrats say [Obama's] campaign needs a wake-up call. Bill Plante is here with that part of the story. Bill, you've been talking to your sources; what are they saying?
Correspondent Bill Plante: "Well Norah, they're simply upset and really outraged.

And Presidents are used to deference; they're not used to people challenging them like that.

Team Obama Blames John Kerry for Debate Loss

So the Messiah refuses to have anyone around him who doesn't kiss his ass, and when his egotism screws him, he blames everyone else? Sounds like par for the course for him.
