Speakeasy forum: If you were Obama, would you cancel the debates?

make some statement that people already knew the issues and where he stands, etc.

That sounds logical....and everyone knows Romney certainly couldn't cancel the debate for the same reasons.

It seems not only is the numbers of registered Democrats, Republican, and independent that vote early is available to the campaigns, but even the names of who voted early.

The point of the segment was based on who had voted and how they were expected to vote, a candidate could decide to spend more money and time in a state. He could also decide it was a lost cause or a sure win and divert resouces elsewhere.

this first debate, Obama might have been wise to stay home! LOL

Romney's staff "has equipped him with a series of zingers that he has memorized and has been practicing on aides since August."

Not so funny now???

I thought it was refreshing, more concentration on issues and lest on zingers and body slams to the mat.

that's another debate oh Omniscient One.

As president, I will not increase the nations debt by trillions as has been done over the past 3-4 years

>> I think you meant the last 11-12 years.

As president, I will not increase taxes and regulations on businesses that will ultimately be passed down to consumers.

>> Right, I'll just raise taxes on consumers directly, while reducing them even further for the "job creators" who aren't creating jobs and won't, because cutting their taxes has nothing to do with job creation.

As president, if a terrorist attack occurs at an US Embassy anywhere in the world I will not go to Las Vegas for a fund raiser especially around the anniversary of 9-11.

>> Right, I'll just spout off on it before having the facts, and then refuse to admit I had it all wrong.

As president, on any 9-11 anniversary my only radio interview of the day will not be in Miami, with some rap DJ called "Pimp With A Limp.." whatever.

>> That interview was pre-recorded and was broadcast on 9/11. I know, another annoying "fact."

As president, I will not turn down interviews with foreign leaders at a UN conference in NY and then show up on The View, tv broadcast in NY.

>> He may have had good reason to turn down that meeting with Netanyahu. Netanyahu is pressuring him to start bombing Iran, and not meeting with him was a way of saying "I'll dictate US policy, not you."

As president, my UN ambassador and Sec Of State will not be eating Chinese and skipping a very important speech focused on security and lives of others in foreign nations ie... the nation of the leader I chose The View over.

>> Huh?

Finally- As president, I know how to balance the books and I know how to create jobs in America. Please join me on the morning of Nov 7th for celebration.

>> Well, he knows how to cook the books; not sure he knows how to balance them. And his record of job-creation in Massachusetts was not exactly stellar.

And the one you forgot:

As president, my first act will be to issue an executive order formally inviting 47% of the country, including veterans, the elderly and the working poor, to go F themselves.

No prob.

As President, if I haven't turned the economy around in 3 years and hold unemployment under 8% and have it down to 5% in 3 years and cut the deficit in half, I will just go the hell away and not be a burden on America any longer.

Everyone already knows, except those dummies Howard Stern interviews, that Obama has increased the national debt by 50% within just 4 years. When he entered office it was about 10 trillion and now it exceeds 16 trillion. He has spent more in 4 years than Bush did in 8 years and that's while Bush initiated and carried on wars overseas in Iraq and Afghanistan.

He handed Obama a book of already endorsed checks. Just fill in the amount and start passing them out.

escaped political attention this Summer. We all know that was GWs fault too. It's so nice of the media to finally be a bit more kind to him.

It creeps up on you, before you realize it...it's a done deal....

NOT like a hurricane.

Problem for the farmers...so far...next it will be a problem for the consumer.
