Hi Blutdog!…You could be right, and then again, you could be….

It’s not over, ’til it’s over…We’ll see what happens.

Dream on as we used to say. I’m afraid the guy who showed up ill prepared for Weds. debate is the real Barry Obama soon to be lame duck President. Why? Because, you can’t stand there and take a beating in front of 60 mil. Americans and do nothing.

Well, I’m just hoping Obama is playing a variation on a poker game where you come into the game appearing as if you don’t know what you’re doing, make a bunch of mistakes, and then when the other players see you as a ditz and become over-confident, you start playing for keeps and wipe the table of winnings. I hope that’s the case. It’s also the classic scenario in so many contests displayed in movies…be it boxing, racing, sports, etc……the guy that has bad beginnings ends up winning big in the end. I’m hoping for a convergence of movies (or poker games) with reality.

I just think the voters are now finally paying attention to the election.

And if the Labor Department included people who have stopped looking for work (or are working only part time because they can’t get full time employment) in their unemployment figures, the recent so-called “drop” in the unemployment rate that Mr. Obama and his team are gleefully touting would be totally reversed.

Indeed, some well informed economists note that the number of people in this “real unemployment” category would probably top some 27 MILLION…or nearly 17 PERCENT! That’s more than double the latest numbers now being bandied about.

What’s more, if the unemployment rate is now dropping (as the Obama camp seems to say) then why is the number of people in the United States signing up for food stamps still skyrocketing? At last count, some 46 million Americans were receiving such assistance….an all time record.

Clearly, the latest Labor Department unemployment figures are misleading at best, and at worst, simply don’t “wash”.

Barry got his arrogant head handed to him, good. I hope for his sake it was a much needed wake up call. He also found out that support for him is soft and that the electorate is extremely volatile even at this late date. So, does one debate make an election? It has in the past ask Nixon in 1960 or Carter in 1980. Yes, it’s possible to lose because of one bad debate, but not likely. Here’s RMONEY’S problem now, he’s even more arrogant then Obama and expectations for him going into the next two debates is now off the ego scale. So, what are the odds Barry will just lay down and eat Willard’s puke on the next outing in this marathon? I’m not saying it’s possible the same ill prepared and arrogant Barry won’t show again and get crushed, but I bet it’s not likely.

Rahm Emmanuel would be a better debate partner. Feisty, ruthless, intense, and everything that Obama is not.

Oddly enough, the reports are coming in that Governor Romney basically lied his ass off and made random platitudes completely unsupported by the evidence, and yet still somehow ‘won’.

P.T. Barnum is smiling in his grave.

Perhaps they should have gotten Stephen Colbert to practice debating with instead of John Kerry.
