Obama didn't lose the debate
(and Romney didn't win)

Fox News, by Juan Williams

Original Article

Posted By:KarenJ1, 10/5/2012 10:24:56 AM

Conventional wisdom about politics is usually wrong. That is why I often disagree with it. But I can’t recall a time when I disagreed more profoundly with the conventional wisdom that has coalesced around a major news event. In last night’s debate, I just didn’t see the overwhelming, game-changing victory for Mitt Romney that his supporters are touting all over television and the Internet today. I didn’t see the humiliating defeat for President Obama that some liberals saw as they began their bellyaching about how President Obama has lost his momentum and could now lose the election.

Comments:
You truly have to question the sanity of someone who is so delusional. I saw him on Fox spewing forth this idiocy and had to turn it off before I suffered a psychotic break. It is just jaw dropping how he could even say these things. You have to wonder if he's just trying to be provocative just to antagonize conservatives.

Juan operates in an alternate reality.
The nice thing is that he steps outside the liberal bubble from time to time.

It's oficial, Juan has joined The Choom Gang. Does Fox News have a for cause drug testing policy?

I think Juan is saying these things to provide entertainment and get/keep the show going for the network. I guess when one is in the entertainment(infotainment?) business, just reporting the truth and facts won't get the ratings that the networks live and die to achieve.

It's frustrating, but let the show go on...most of USa knows the truth, anyway; it was on display during the debate for anyone with eyes to see.

The two million dollar salary that Fox is paying Juan Williams is way too much money for the drivel that comes out of him.

What is wrong with FOX? When they continue to hear about Juan and Kirsten Powers and the other sycophants spewing their specious dung, it's fair to ask if they are nuts, deaf, arrogant...what? It's because of these people added as regulars to their "panels" that we have turned FOX off. The second Juan appears, bingo. Hit the remote. He is so bad it is insulting to even attempt to tolerate him. As I've said many times, he's the male version of the little bragging maid in Gone With the Wind who, when asked to prove the skills she'd claimed said, "I can't birth no babies Miz Scahlett." He's a bulgy eyed and nasty racist in reverse. FOX saves his sorry rear from PBS and to pay his salary they inflict him on viewers who are leaving because of him. That's smart...way to go FOX.

Jay Carney received this script from Valerie Jarrett and he said, I'm not reporting this. She then gave it to David Axelrod and he said, I'm not reporting this. Finally the three of them looked at each other and said, Juan Williams.

I also heard Juan spewing this. Honestly, look at him with pity and move on. He is another who is not humble enough to seek truth. Romney has such an upper hand here. He simply needs to keep telling the truth. The 5 trillion myth created by Obama IS a lie. To keep heralding it as true is knowingly committing evil, but this will be the Axlerod led headline. Sad.

Fox News probably just figured out that they can make more money by having more liberals on. That's all. It's not about the country or even the news. It's about the money.

Guess I can't blame them but they ought to remember one thing: you ought to dance with the one who brung ya.

We are sounding like liberals, who always screech about how people who don't agree with them need to be fired.

Juan Williams is entitled to his opinion, as wrong as it may be. I'll admit that I occasionally turn the channel when Bob Beckel comes on with "The Five" crew, but at least there is an attempt to present more than one angle to a story.

I enjoy Project Runway, and am thinking of something judge Michael Kors once said. The worst thing that can happen to a business is to have a bunch of people sitting around saying, "You're fabulous, no you're fabulous" back and forth. You gain nothing from that. An honest critique is needed every now and then to keep people hopping.

People like Juan Williams are useful, because you know they will come up with weird spins and it helps you to keep a step ahead of them.

poor juan, he's just loopy as all get out: One of his complaints?
“I don’t have a five trillion dollar tax cut,” Romney said. “I don’t have a tax cut of the scale that you’re talking about.”

Who is he kidding?

Once Romney’s plan is put in place, they say, it will cost a little over $5 trillion in one decade.

So if we are going to do costs over a decade lets see what ZeroCare will cost over 10 year - What fool/tool.

"Romney’s aides and surrogates sprinted into the spin room to offer effusive assessments of their candidate’s performance, and Fox News contributor Juan Williams was caroling “Massacre! Massacre!” to himself as he bounded out of the men’s restroom. Obama’s team didn’t meet the press for a full 10 minutes — and one top Democrat, asked to say the best thing about the president’s performance, said Obama has been “just working to maintain cool and be reassuring” in an email to POLITICO."

Juan is incredible stupid (or pretends to be) but at least he's not downright mean, like Beckel. Nonetheless, I think both should be dropped from FNC and replaced by libs who have the capability of thinking rationally, or is that an oxymoron.

Now, how about they add G.Rivera and provide a clean sweep. Juan has a job only due to the fact Hannity and Bill O thought enough of him to stand by him after the NPR incident. Wonder what their feelings for him would be now.

Juan, admittedly, I don’t know what 47% of a million billion trillion is nor any of that other stratospheric arithmetic you’re spewing forth. However, what I do know is your trademark, lightning-fast, kneejerk, negative reaction to virtually every positive opinion put forth on Fox News Channel. Ditto Beckel and Colmes. It’s as if you guys go out of your way just to be as ornery, stubborn and unlikeable as possible. You three are probably more responsible than anyone else in the world for the sale of channel-switchers and mute buttons. On the plus side, at least the title you’ve given this column of yours has given a lot of people a good laugh.

Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said her department has its “hands full” with the implementation of the healthcare law and cannot prepare for any immigration reform bill’s impact on health insurance costs. During a House Ways and Means Committee hearing on Friday, Texas Republican Rep.

Cass Sunsetein, one of President Obama’s leading left-wing, university eggheads, has penned an interesting piece in New Republic explaining how the nanny state is really a very important and useful aspect of today’s modern Democrat scheme. It’s for your own good, don’t you know? Launching his April 8 piece, “Why Paternalism Is Your Friend,” Sunstein evokes New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s (mostly failed, not that Sunstein says so) nanny state efforts to take away his constituents’ freedom on such things as trans fats, sodas, and guns. Sunstein points out that to his mind, all

Anthony Weiner, D-N.Y., and his wife, Huma Abedin, want you to know about Weiner’s “sexting” scandal that led him to resign from Congress in 2011, reporter Jonathan Van Meter pauses the story. Van Meter, a contributing editor at Vogue and New York Magazine, had worked diligently on this New York Times Sunday Magazine cover story – multiple interviews with Weiner and Abedin, both as a couple and separately. On some level, the prurient banality of what he was writing about must have gotten to him.

Administration officials with knowledge of the White House strategy tell The Hill the first lady will not be an active part of the debate going forward, at least in terms of gun policy. Obama will instead be focused mostly on youth empowerment, as she has in recent years, continuing her mentoring programs and “Let’s Move!” her childhood obesity initiative. In a rare move, the first lady entered the national discussion on gun control earlier this week when she delivered

I’m not sure how widely it was known that Jonathan Winters, whom Robin Williams thought the best comic of his generation, was a conservative. In any case, I sometimes used to show students in my classes on the American Founding the early scene from “It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad World” where the whole gang tries to deliberate about how to divide the loot fairly when they finally got to the site where the loot was hidden, and how it could illustrate . . . the “great compromise” of the constitutional convention of 1787 in Philadelphia.

The Republican National Committee has reaffirmed its opposition to gay marriage with a slate of resolutions passed unanimously at its spring meeting. Several resolutions re-establishing the party´s official position were adopted without discussion on Friday. One resolution states the party´s belief that "the institution of marriage is the solid foundation upon which our society is built and in which children thrive; it is based on the relationship that only a man and a woman can form." The RNC also expresses its “support for marriage as the union of one man and one woman,

Sen. Feinstein: Private Gun
Sales Play into Terrorists´ Hands

During an appearance on MSNBC´s Morning Joe, Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) said expanded background checks are "not enough," and private gun sales cannot continue because they allow terrorists to buy guns in the United States. "Can a terrorist currently buy a gun in this country? Yes. Can a felon? Yes. You go to a gun show and virtually no questions are asked," Feinstein claimed. Joe Scarborough chimed in later in the segment to echo Feinstein´s claim, asserting, "So now we have al Qaeda terrorists saying, ´Kill Americans, it´s easy, just go to gun shows, get an assault weapon.´"

Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-WV), one of the architects of the Affordable Care Act, said on Tuesday that the healthcare law, set to go into full effect in less than eight months, is “probably the most complex piece of legislation ever passed by the United States Congress” and “is just beyond comprehension.” Rockefeller said he is concerned that early missteps with implementing the healthcare overhaul may cascade into confusion and chaos. The law, said Rockefeller, is “so complicated and if it isn’t done right the first time, it will just simply get worse.” Rockefeller’s consternation echoes comments made earlier this

For the first time since women became the largest voting block, Democratic women are organizing to elect one of their own to the White House in 2016. The unstated goal: Putting Hillary Clinton in the Oval Office. The influential women´s political group Emily´s List next week plans to announce their new national campaign. It comes on the heels of President Obama´s reelection, driven by women who gave him 58 percent of their support. In the election, 52 percent of the voters were women. "We are ready," said Emily´s List President Stephanie Schriock in a post election review,

In case you missed Dana Perino making her hip hop debut on The Five yesterday, the Fox News show decided to replay the moment again on today’s show. Perino was surprised not only by how much attention her performance got online, but also by the tone of that attention. As Perino revealed to her co-hosts, some on “the left” have been calling her “racist.” Perino didn’t point to any specific examples, except for one tweet from someone named Richard Robbins who put forward her rapped response to Jay-Z as an example of the GOP’s “laughable minority outreach.”

Pro golfers, golf writers, and TV commentators are up in arms that Tiger Woods was only given a 2-stroke penalty for his illegal drop on the 15th hole yesterday. Tiger said last night that he dropped his ball two yards behind his previous spot, clearly violating the rule that you must drop "as nearly as possible" to your original spot. Golf people are not happy about it. They say that the new rule is B.S. (or it´s at least being misinterpreted), and Tiger should DQ himself to save the integrity of the game.

In Philadelphia, at a human abattoir on Lancaster Avenue, is where it ends, not where it starts. It starts with the perversion of language. It starts when the icons of a dissipated culture reduce a baby to a “fetus.” From there, Yeats’s blood-dimmed tide rolls rapidly in. Before long, a baby is not a person but a punishment, as President Barack Obama framed the matter in his familiar off-the-cuff iciness. Of course, to describe newborn children in their boundless possibilities and wonder would be to acknowledge, foremost, their humanity. That is why, instead, abortion enthusiasts must grope for words

They say they were just doing what the boss trained them to do. But eight former employees of a run-down West Philadelphia abortion clinic now face prison time for the work they did for Dr. Kermit Gosnell. Three have pleaded guilty to third-degree murder. And Gosnell, 72, is on trial in the deaths of a patient and seven babies allegedly born alive. In testimony at the capital murder trial this past month, an unlicensed doctor and untrained aides described long, chaotic days at the clinic. They said they performed grueling, often gruesome work for little more than minimum wage,

With President Obama, there’s always a catch. In the 2014 budget he announced last week, Obama proposed a more accurate way of calculating the inflation rate for annual cost-of-living increases in Social Security. It’s a technical change in pursuit of honesty and good government. And if adopted, it would cause benefits to grow more slowly, though almost imperceptibly so. Republican leaders in Congress ought to be delighted since they had “championed”—Obama’s word—the idea in the first place. Then came the catch. The president’s price for adopting this gentle reform was hundreds of billions in new tax increases.

Leaving Blue New York, Boo-Hoo

Only one of my six children has left New York for economic reasons but the strain of living in this expensive nanny state is weighing heavy on my other five and their families. As a native New Yorker, I´ve seen its middle class population decline over the years due to its neglect of blue collar families which is ironic since this is a Democrat city. With the recent arrests of several local politicians for corruption perhaps New Yorkers will pay more attention to those they put in office. Given their past indifference in local elections this is highly unlikely.

In the opening sequence Rod Serling informs us: "A monster had arrived in the village. Just by using his mind, he took away the automobiles, the electricity, the machines -- because they displeased him -- and he moved an entire community back into the dark ages -- just by using his mind. . . . and the people there have to smile. They have to think happy thoughts and say happy things because once displeased, the monster can wish them into a cornfield

On Thursday, in the midst of ongoing national debate over prospective gun control and comprehensive immigration legislation, House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) said that he didn’t need the approval of a majority of his own party to move forward with legislation. Referring to the so-called Hastert Rule, named after former House Speaker Denny Hastert (R-IL), which dictated that House leadership not bring up any bill for a vote without the support of a majority of the majority party, Boehner said, “Listen: It was never a rule to begin with.” Then, realizing the gravity of admitting

A few hours after Margaret Thatcher´s death on Monday, the snarling deadbeats of the British underclass were gleefully rampaging through the streets of Brixton in South London, scaling the marquee of the local fleapit and hanging a banner announcing, "THE B@&$! IS DEAD." Amazingly, they managed to spell all four words correctly. By Friday, "Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead," from "The Wizard of Oz," was the No. 1 download at Amazon UK. Mrs. Thatcher would have enjoyed all this. Her former speechwriter John O´Sullivan recalls how, some years after leaving office, she

TALLAHASSEE - Picture this: You´re in the left lane of the interstate, driving a little below the speed limit, when some guy zips up behind you and swerves past you on the right. Then you notice the blue lights flashing. You´re savoring the satisfaction of seeing a trooper actually nab an aggressive driver — until you realize it´s you he´s pulling over. This could happen, if not very often, under a major transportation package expected to be taken up in the Senate Appropriations Committee next week. Introduced by Sen. Jeff Brandes, a St. Petersburg Republican, the bill is a 173-page
