President Barack Hussein Obama (mm mmm mmmm) and Republican Challenger Mitt Romney will be participating in a Townhall Debate tomorrow night.
Supposedly, Obama’s handlers are rigorously preparing the suuuper genius, so that he won’t get his clocked cleaned by Romney…again.
The Wall Street Journal has the story.
President Barack Obama is developing a bit of debate prep repetition, publicly at least.
Mr. Obama took a break Sunday from studying and engaging in mock sessions with his staff at a five-star waterfront resort here to deliver pizzas to one of his nearby campaign offices and make a couple phone calls to supporters, just as he did while preparing for his first debate in Henderson, Nev., two weeks ago.
“If you’re not on the phone take a break,” Mr. Obama said quietly as he entered a room where campaign staffers were making phone calls.
He then took a seat between two women and picked up the phone. “I’m gonna do my work,” he said, adding: “Everybody’s so serious!”
Mr. Obama arrived in Willliamsburg Saturday for three days of intense preparations for his second debate against Republican rival Mitt Romney. The stakes couldn’t be higher for Tuesday’s faceoff in Hempstead, N.Y., after his listless performance in the candidates’ first debate disappointed supporters, and cost him his comfortable edge over Mr. Romney in the polls.
The president began prep sessions Sunday at 10 a.m. and in between has strolled along the grounds of the resort, which is set along James River and features a golf course and a spa. Sen. John Kerry (D., Mass.) was seen tooling around the resort on a golf cart, and Mr. Obama’s top aides are on hand to assist, including former White House communications director Anita Dunn who is playing the moderator of Tuesday’s debate, CNN anchor Candy Crowley.
Mr. Obama called two supporters from the campaign office while reporters and photographers were in the room. He thanked them for their help with his re-election effort and asked one woman to keep him in her prayers.
The president also gave a campaign staffer a lesson in using an old-fashioned phone.”Like this” he told her, pushing a button to show her how to dial. “We actually still have old style phones at the White House,” he said. “I don’t believe it,” the woman replied.
Everybody’s so serious?
Yeah, Scooter. The entire Democratic Hierarchy is a little bit anxious. You see, their meal ticket bombed bigger than Hiroshima in his first debate against Republican Challenger Mitt Romney.
In fact, Scooter, you acted like you did not even want to be there. As if, you don’t want the job anymore.
And that would be just peachy with the majority of Americans.
However, after being threatened by your handlers, and further decimated by your Vice-President’s idiotic performance in his debate, along with the daily revelations concerning how badly you’ve screwed up America’s Foreign Policy, culminating in the murder of Ambassador Chris Stevens, by a bunch of Muslim Terrorists, you’ve decided that you’re going to “bring it” tomorrow night.
In fact, two of your most loyal henchman are promising that you’ll actually act like you want the job, this time:
“Nobody’s a harsher critic than the president is of himself and he viewed the [debate] tape,” Axelrod said on “Fox News Sunday.” “I think he’s going to make some adjustments on Tuesday.”
Axelrod would not detail any strategic changes that the president might be making, but said he’s “going to be aggressive in making the case for his view of where we should go as a country.”
Appearing on CNN’s “State of the Union,” senior Obama campaign adviser Robert Gibbs said the president was “disappointed” in his performance in Denver.
“He didn’t meet his own expectations,” he said. “He knew when he walked off that stage, and he also knew as he’s watched the tape of that debate, that he’s got to be more energetic. I think you’ll see somebody who is very passionate about the choice that our country faces, and putting that choice in front of voters.”
Expect the president to continue to attack Romney for his changing positions. In the two weeks since the first debate, the president’s campaign has tried to cast the GOP nominee as an extreme conservative trying to reinvent himself as a moderate in the run-up to the election.
Gibbs described Romney’s performance at the first debate as “magical and theatrical” because “for 90 minutes he walked away from a campaign he’d been running for more than six years previous to that.”
“We saw Governor Romney, sort of, serially walk away from his own proposals and certainly the president is going to be willing to challenge him on it as we saw the vice president challenge Paul Ryan,” Axelrod said.
So, the President’s going to attack Romney on his changing positions?
Fine. That’s history, and very well known.
The question is: What’s Scooter going to do when Romney attacks his horrible performance as President?
Steven Wynn, CEO of Wynn Resorts, said in a recent interview about Scooter:
“I’m afraid of the president,” said Wynn. “I have no idea what goofy idea, what crazy, anti-business program this administration will come up. I have no idea. And I have to tell you, Jon, that every business guy I know in the country is frightened of Barack Obama and the way he thinks.”
The hotel tycoon claimed that President Obama had attempted to put himself between him and his employees by resorting to class warfare, and said he cannot stand being the target of demagoguery from someone who doesn’t understand the economy or “hasn’t created any jobs.”
“The president is trying to put himself between me and my employees,” said Wynn. “By class warfare, by deprecating and calling a group that makes money ‘billionaires and millionaires who don’t pay their share.’ I gave 120 percent of my salary and bonus away last year to charities, as I do most years.”
He continued: “I can’t stand the idea of being demagogued, that is, put down by a president who has never created any jobs and who doesn’t even understand how the economy works.”
So, even though Obama’s policies have hurt us in both the foreign and domestic area, he expects to brag on his failures, and be aggressive toward Romney in front of a live audience Tuesday night in a Townhall Format, where he will be answering the audience’s questions, and where Candy Crowley, the Moderator, will not be able to tag team Romney with him ?
Well, I hope he knows how to sing, dance, or tell some funny jokes…because he sure won’t be able to brag about his sterling record as president.
Unless he’s being sarcastic.
