Presidential Debates ... Criteria for US Presidents

Choices?

= = = The Latest

I was surprised by the lack of attacks by Romney on Obama by Romney based on his string of foreign blunders. Nevertheless, the debate seemed to be pretty even as Obama continued to spread falsehoods about Romney [e.g., GM bailout, the apology tour was an apology tour.] with no post-debate comments from the Big Dem Media. Romney appeared to be very presidential.

Rumor: The earpiece. Obama was rumored [photo available] to have had coaching help at the debate through an earpiece linked to a helper. 10/24/12

Round One … goes to Romney soundly over Obama according to many polls and even most media reporters. Romney was on point with specific policy points and critiques of Obama policies. Obama rambled on while trying to think of what to say. TV audience was said to be 65 million. =TheRightJack on 10/4/12

The day after ... Obama campaigning and accusing Romney of lying at the debates. If that is so, why did Obama not call Romney on these lies at the debate? This astute observation was made by Pat Buchanan.

Obama was distracted. This is the claim/excuse that the liberal media is making for the high schoolish debate performance of Obama. Well, the life of the US President is one distraction after another. Is an easily distracted person fit to occupy the Oval Office in the White House? =TheRightJack on 10/7/12

Round Two ... the VPs

Obama’s advice to Joe Biden for the coming VP debate with Paul Ryan . . . Joe, Just keep making up "facts" and lying as we have been doing so successfully for almost four years now. Our media friends will never call you on it. =TheRightJack on 10/5/12

VP Joe Biden declared winner of the debate with Ryan on the 11^th by Big Dem Media on Wednesday the 10th. Gaffes and Plagiarism by Biden cited in this report. Plagiarism is the academic term for “you didn’t write that,” you stole it. [westernjournalism.com] 10/10/12

VP debate. Good points on both sides. Critics reported many valid points made but some were called incomplete. Analysis of  Joe Biden’s demeanor from both sides of the isle was viewed as inappropriate with his aggressive smirks and many rude interruptions - an old angry white guy. Biden had one more minute of talk time than Ryan. Moderator seemed to question Ryan's statements more than Biden's statements. Evaluation is ... Polls seem to be tilting more toward Romney-Ryan after the VP debate. 10/12/12

Round Three ... Presidential Debate

Prelog. When topics come around to knowledge, as opposed to current events and “Vote for Me” talking points, Obama will be lost and missing in action. Both Obama and Romney know that Obama does not have the knowledge nor the history of US events, world affairs and management to hold the job as president. =TheRightJack on 10/15/12

Style to win over substance. Media talking points about the Presidential Debate emphasize that style will win over substance. Right! US voters want a personable but naive candidate in the White House, not a knowledgeable leader who can get the economy turned around, create jobs and reduce our unsustainable spending. =TheRightJack on 10/16/12

Media proclaimed that Obama won the debate, as predicted. He showed up. TheRightJack felt it was rather even. Voters on the Right probably decided that Romney came out on top with the smooth delivery of his plans and Obama failures. The Left would certainly be happy feeling that Obama won hands down. Undecided may have shifted more toward Romney based on one focus group made up of mostly undecideds from Nevada, some of whom voted for Obama in 2008. Overall, it would appear that “facts” did not carry the day as Obama frequently wandered into comments and actually “misspoke” several times [e.g., energy permits, jobs created, green job failures, auto bailouts, tax breaks for US companies overseas] while Romney did not clarify his position on reducing taxes for everyone once again. Both sides are probably happy. =TheRightJack on 10/17/12

Candy Crowley interrupted Romney 28 times and Obama only 9 times.

So far, Obama has received more time to speak and Romney has spoken more words in less time. Notice how concise Romney has been while Obama has had to ramble around until he comes upon a salient thought. Romney wins with knowledge. Obama loses on style too.

Round Four ... Presidential Debate on Foreign Affairs

I was surprised by the lack of attacks on Obama by Romney based on his string of foreign blunders. Nevertheless, the debate seemed to be pretty even as Obama continued to spread falsehoods about Romney [e.g., GM bailout, the apology tour was an apology tour.] with no post-debate comments from the Big Dem Media. Romney appeared to be very presidential.

Rumor: The earpiece. Obama was rumored [photo available] to have had coaching help at the debate through an earpiece linked to a helper. 10/24/12
