Unbelievable. Anyone who thought John Kerry, well known phony warrior and insufferable blowhard, could emulate Mitt Romney is a complete idiot. At least blame the person who selected Kerry.

Lurch is to blame for lots of things, but Obie needs to own this one.

Why blame the haughty John Kerry? Did HE give Obama the Xanax?

There soon won't be any more room under the bus to throw people.

Why blame Kerry? How many practice sessions did Obama even show up for? We know how he blows off his security briefings; was he any more serious about debate prep?

First, not all Americans were taken captive by this idiot. Secondly, will obama ever, EVER take blame for anything. If he had just said I blew it I could accept that. But excuse after excuse is just a fantasy land. Our middle school was undefeated in soccer. They tied their last game with the cross town rival. One of the star players works as a student worker in the library. When I asked him what happened he said, "It was my fault. I misjudged the ball and I made a bad play. I blame myself." It's pretty bad when a 13 year old can man up to a disappointment but our so called president can't. This says a lot about his character.

I think that Kerry just earned himself a second yacht by taking the fall for the Big O. There is absolutely no ethics in the WH. Who cares WHY Obama could not hold his own in the debate,
the fact is, he didn't, and the reasons and blame are owned by Obama, no one else. It is up to HIM to be prepared, not to his lackeys.

Yeah, right - blame everyone except the guy who was actually in the debate.

Priceless bit from another commenter on another thread-site...

"Guess it's back to Easter Island for Kerry"

Leaders accept responsibility, loser place blame.

It reminds me of the bit from the Blues Brothers movie when Jake and is confronted by his girlfriend (Carrie Fischer) in a tunnel and he starts offering excuses as to why he did not show for their wedding.

The best line FTA: What was once "Hope and Change," is now "Mope and Blame," and this time it's John Kerry under the President's bus.

Jon Carry was his debate coach? I did not know that. I thought it was Whoppie Goldberg.

Maybe Kerry was speaking French.

Talk about burning bridges!

John, I could have told you, no good deed goes unpunished.
Maybe Teresa should have gone a few rounds with him after eating all those rum soaked raisins she likes.

"Mope and blame". I love it!

They're saying Jean Fraud did not "channel Mitt's aggression enough". But then Jean Fraud wants to be secretary of state and was afraid to be in the president's face which any fool - especially those fools close to Obama - is a very, very bad thing to do.

The petulant, thin-skinned preezy is his own worst enemy.

John Kerry is now the latest bump in the road Obama’s bus has run over.

He's still trying to figure out how to blame Bush.

O&Co underestimated Mitt Romney. Period.

And if by chance they'd not underestimated him, Obie still wouldn't have been able to cram for that exam. He is supposed to be the president. He's supposed to have four years of his own accomplishments internalized - no one should have to coach him on his own accomplishments. But he has none.

I refuse to feel sorry for John Kerry after what he has done to our country. Chickens coming home to roost....

It was hemorrhoids, or perhaps even "the pain of psoriasis," really, really bad athlete's foot, his schwanz was caught in his zipper, and that was why he couldn't concentrate and he kept looking down, or perhaps it was the dandruff he noticed on his shoulder that threw our glorious Prez off his stride.

Maybe his pet Gerbil just croaked, or perhaps Obama forgot his lucky pink Blankie, or maybe Michelle hit him an unusually potent dose of "Malocchio," the old "Evil Eye," and he forgot to do the "horn" sign to counteract it like he usually did.

Or it coulda just been too much CHOOM in the Green Room, or maybe even that mean ol' disrespectful, chain saw totin, "Chain Saw Massacre" Romney or, perhaps a la "The Terminator," Romney was actually replaced by a know it all killer robot from the future.

All good, believable potential explanations for why Obama did not prevail.

Two losers: Mope: Kerry - Blame: Obama!

I blame the Maui Wowie.

0bama has been exposed as the Bernie Madoff of politics. He's the biggest scammer ever in the business. Nobody with any brains will keep investing in him.

What happened to Obama in the debate happened because he never really had a legitimate opponent before who really knew the issues and who was not afraid to sound off. Then you have the missing factors that always serve as Obama's crutches, but who could not run interference for Obama in a one on one debate, like his teleprompter and the liberal media.

You have to figure that Kerry can now forget about being Secretary of State, unless President Romney gives him the job and that is not likely. Why would Kerry want to be Secretary of State anyway as that job would suck.

Why the long face John Fraud? No Secretary of State gig coming up for you?

Here is a list from last May of O's excuses. It needs updating!

What a Jerk!

They were going to blame somebody. Bush wasn't available.

Jon Carry - reporting for duty. (BTW,he served in Vietnam).

We're slipping folks. It took to post #31 to remind us all that this is the same John Kerry that served in Vietnam.

0+0+0+0.....=0

@ gator, that math is too complicated!

He will never man up and accept the blame for anything.

That smirk didn't go far, did it ?

Obozo has made a lot of enemies in his party already because of Obamacare and Dodd Frank, and the stimulus bill. We know that is why Dingy came out and said what he did. If he keeps insulting his buds, he may find himself thrown under the bus.

#32, fret not, my friend. In an earlier post that mention JFKerry, it was mentioned that, btw, he served in Vietnam. As I recall, it was on a Swift boat. Apparently Kerry is losing his swiftness while Obama loses his suaveness. We do not forget.

This must be a new record in the annals of humanity....Barak Obama has lived 50+ years on this earth and never, once, has he taken responsibility for anything "bad" that anyone has attributed to him. It's a miracle than anyone can go through life never having erred.

There goes Kerry`s chance of being Secretary of France....

#29, that list of excuses should be ten times longer. But one glaring one was missing for the high price of gas: Not enough air in our tires!

Obama really did make a fool of himself. And before 67 million people.

Kerry didn't tell him he wasn't really dressed regally but, in fact, had on no clothes. Didn't want to jinx his job chances?

They need to substitute softball tossers Chrissy Matthews for the moderator so he can rely on help to get through the next debate.

They can practice until they waste away and still obama will have to walk alone onto the stage?

They may prep him to parade around the stage with long strides, but still his record will attend him. Romney can remember and recall--without notes on his handkerchief.

Hell hath no fury like a naked empty chair.

This is just so funny.

Excuses, excuses.

Same thing they've told us since taking office.

This is more fun than I thought it would be. All the rancid commies are standing in a circle now and shooting at each other. Lurch is up to the middle now. He deserves every swat he is going to get. My bet is that our U.S. Navy Swifties enjoying this.

Okay, so my job isn't as intense as the President's... I'll admit that. But I've had countless times where I've been called upon without *any* warning to provide a rundown on a major project, including questions about critical issues, etc. And while I hadn't had *formal* prep time, I was able to hold my own because *I was living the project* daily. If you're involved and living it, you've got 80% covered and you can wing the rest. Prep time may polish up the presentation, but the substance *should* be there anyway.

What a sad admission the Dems have to make, that the President can't speak to issues without kid-gloving him through it. It's lucky for us that major world issues are all planned ahead of time, and the darkest forces in the world are led by men who are polite enough give a President time to prepare his reactions.

A key component of the liberal makeup is the automatic air of superiority. If you aren't a liberal, then they believe you obviously aren't as intelligent and sophisticated as they are. The truth is they are rarely anywhere as intelligent as they think they are. They just limit their exposure to people who agree with them.

Obama coasted through life thanks to affirmative action. He's never had to do anything or bear the consequences of his decisions. The press has never questioned anything he's done. Suddenly, he found himself in front of someone who didn't automatically worship Obama, and who is far more intelligent and knowledgeable.

President Pacalolo.

Perhaps John "I fought in Viet Nam" Kerry and the Hildabeast are conspiring against Zero to boost their own options in 2016. Both know that a second Zero term would doom democrat chances in 2016.

The gutless wonder, Lurch, will swallow the insult in hopes of the Sec of State position in Zippy's [mythical] next administration.
