Desperate times call for
unpresidential behavior

Power Line, by Paul Mirengoff

Original Article

Posted By:StormCnter, 10/18/2012 6:08:36 AM

More than enough has been written about Candy Crowley’s improper and inaccurate “fact-checking” of answers regarding Libya during last night’s debate. But let me briefly discuss an aspect of the exchange that I don’t think has received much attention. After Crowley opined that President Obama was correct in saying that, early on, he declared the Benghazi attack terrorism, Obama asked the moderator to repeat her assertion. Did anyone think it was presidential for Obama basically to beg a CNN personality to vouch for his truthfulness? I didn’t. To me it looked childish. To make matters worse, Crowley declined Obama’s entreaty.

The American people, to use Zerobama's words, "acted stupidly" in 2008 and tried an experiment that had essentially zero, no pun intended, chance of working.

What an ugly chapter this is going to be in future history books.

There truly is only one beneficiary of the Zerobama presidency... Jimmuh Cahtar.

Mighty convenient of Ms.Crowley to have the Rose Garden transcript at the ready. Utterly impossible for Barky to know she had it without collusion prior to the event.

The only truth for these people is the advancement of the Communist Revolution by any means necessary.

I found it fascinating that the two dem men (biden and obama)turned to females to protect and defend them. They were not strong enough on their own to handle Romney or Ryan.

Proof Obama had questions in advance and was schooled to the questions …very disturbing proof of cheating

http://theconservativetreehouse.com/2012/10/17/cnn-and-the-obama-administration-weapons-of-misdirection/

2nd video 16 :35

Obama knew who Kerry, the questioner was,(walked directly to the man when too that could have been a woman's name) walked directly to where his seat was, walks to him before he is supposed to know who the questioner even is…. starts to say Kerry’s name before he is supposed to know…realizes what he has done…proving Obama had questions in advance and Crowley was in on it!

At 15:25….directs Candy to move on

Kerry may or may not know..I’d like to see Kerry watch that clip and comment

Obama without a TelePrompTer had to cheat

#4, that's not just an idle observation. The Democrat Party has become the party of feminized men and masculinized women. My take on the origin of that very noticeable phenomenon is that they appear to be the result of broken families to a large extent. Missing fathers are featured prominently in the case of the feminized men. Clinton and Obama are classic examples. And emotionally missing mothers coupled with overbearing fathers appear to be the determinants for the masculinized women.

So one can understand then why Democrats hate happy traditional families and why they seem obsessed with destroying them.

I had the same reaction -- it was juvenile.

What is also off-putting is the way he walks, with that bouncy gang-jivey gait, as though he isn't the President of the United States, but rather a rock star, a movie star, a jaunty, cocky Denzel Washington doing his best "let's kick some arse" routine.

The man compensates for so many failings, that it's become obvious to anyone who thinks.

Obama is running against a candidate that he has made up in his head, a composite candidate if you will. He has tried to convince voters that this composite character is a billionaire felon who murders people with cancer and hates women. Unfortunately for Obama the real Romney keeps showing up to debates and the voters like him.

O may order droan strikes or even an all-out bombing operation to get this guy.
Then he will claim the “perpetrators were brought to justice” and try to transform himself into some kind of super-hero, and make hay out of that whole debacle.

It certainly looks as if the formation of the Obama-Crowley tag team was not spontaneous. It almost seems as if there may have been a prior consultation between the two (no doubt through intermediaries) as to how to handle hot potato subjects like Benghazi.

It was a planned attack by Obama and Crowley. I could see that it knocked Gov. Romney a little when he immediately saw it for what it was, but he quickly recovered and nailed Obama. Crowley and CNN should hang their heads in shame for setting our next President up that way. But Mitt is a good, decent man who will not whine about it; he will just be ready Monday night. Watch out, Barry.

Whether you think Romney has the bona fides regarding conservatism or not, I think that he was the right candidate for this election.

Romney is probably the most squeaky clean candidate to run for the Office in a long, long time. He has no skeletons in his closet to be honest. That he built a kennel on his car 30 years ago? What a scandal! That not every company he invested in was a success? Shock!

Had the GOP nominated anyone with some exposure, the Obama regime and media would have buried them, and it would probably have stuck. With "Teflon Don" Mitt Romney, all those hundreds of millions in bogey-man negative advertising simply slid off him at the first debate. Nothing stuck.

And since Obama has no record and no plans for the next 4 to run on, he now has nothing for people to really rally behind (other than the mindless drones, of course).

Desperate is a good word for it. I noticed while watching the local news during breakfast this morning that every commercial break was a non-stop barrage of negative ads by the Obama campaign and its supporters. He can't run on hid pathetic record, so he can only win by trying to tear down Romney, and with less than three weeks to go he's going for broke throwing everything he can at Mitt hoping one of his distortions or lies will stick. It won't work, and is more likely to turn off the independents he desperately needs.

Thank you, #5. I missed that.

I agree with you, #14, but given the work ethic that Obama has displayed so far, Sunday he'll probably just use a drone to bomb an outhouse somewhere in Libya, and claim he's avenged the Benghazi attack.

Obama just sent US troops into Jordan ostensibly to keep an eye on Syria. He might try to pull some stunt there over the weekend, as well.

Some of the carping here is really too much. I thought some of Obama's banter, skewered here, was just fine. 'Go to the transcript' is not an uncommon phrase, especially for a lawyer. After Romney's landslide victory, no one will remember the debate (which Romney clearly won) or the Crowley woman's ham-handed debate moderating.

With respect, #35...AFAIK, in litigation, lawyers call for readings from the transcript when there is an independent court reporter involved.
Delusions aside, BO is not in court prosecuting MR; and Candy is not in the role of clark--managing his briefcase--or reporter--taking down his dictations.

I am always amazed — amazed — when anyone has the gall to dismiss, even laugh off, the suggestion that the right to keep and bear arms is a smart and necessary provision for a free society. Human history (not to mention current events!) is too chock-full of examples of nefarious regimes violently abusing and controlling their people, and the freedoms enjoyed by American citizens are the exception, not the rule.

Andrew Breitbart has become an iconic and beloved figure on the right, so it’s hard to imagine his eponymous empire could be in danger of losing conservative support just one year after his passing. But if recent events are a harbinger of things to come, that’s at least a possibility. It all started last October, when BuzzFeed’s McKay Coppins penned a controversial piece, arguing the outlet was “plagued by an unusual degree of disorganization and rampant infighting…” The report might have been easily dismissed, had it not been soon revealed that Breitbart.com’s Dana Loesch was suing Breitbart.com

Frustration is taking its toll in the liberals’ war against guns. President Obama, pushing his broad gun control agenda, said we should be ashamed if we’ve forgotten the Newtown shooting so soon. The New York Times opined that Obama is being shouted down by the “gun lobby,” even though he and Biden had been crisscrossing the country “…making a forceful case for a package of laws that would reduce gun violence.” That, of course, is the media narrative on gun control. For every issue there is a narrative: a set of assumptions and boundaries of thought

Is it time to give up the fight against Obamacare? That’s a question some conservative health-care experts, pundits, and — more quietly — politicians are asking. In the first years after its passage, opponents had hoped that the Supreme Court would strike down the law or that a new president would sign its repeal before most of it took effect. But the Supreme Court decided to modify a few of its provisions instead of striking it down, and President Obama was reelected. Repeal is almost certainly off the table for four years. Obamacare will continue to be implemented.

As the bipartisan Gang of Eight works to complete a comprehensive immigration reform bill, there has been a growing consensus among Senate Republicans that the bill — so far seen by no one outside the Gang — should be the subject of multiple hearings and extended consideration inside the Senate Judiciary Committee. But on Sunday there were signs that consensus does not extend to the Republicans inside the Gang. Appearing on CBS, longtime immigration reform advocate and Gang member Sen.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”
