This Is Awkward

..and math is hard.

Focus group on Obama:

"He's lied about everything. He lied to get elected in 2008, that's why I voted for him. I bought his bull. And he's lied about everything, he hasn't come through on anything. And he's been bullshitting the public," one member of the focus group said.

I listened to msnBS for a bit after the "debate" to see how the leftests viewed the exchange. They clearly watched a different debate than the one I watched.

This MSNBC focus group was trying desperately not to offend the black guy interviewing them. They are undecided not because they are trying to choose between Obama and Romney, but because they have no strong sense of self or strong principles. Their decision is more likely between NOT voting and voting for whomever they finally decided on.

These people are the ones who will have trouble deciding between paper or plastic; curly or waffle fries; regular or decaf.

And he's been bullshitting the public,"

I saw the Arizona focus group but missed the MSNBC.

That good man has finally realized what Obama and the Democrats have sold him.

Bullshitting the American Public!

Government does not create jobs, Romney.
Government does not create jobs, Romney.

Government does not create jobs,
Government does not create jobs.

That still sings in my head.

"We still have a draw, folks."

We do?

I heard three of these folks clearly say they're leaning towards Romney and only one say she's probably going to vote for Obama.

Hmmm ... let's see. I guess three to one's a draw in Leftard La-La Land. The result of Obama's "educational" policies?

Agreed batb, 3 to 1 is a leftist draw!

Fix is in and they still can't make it happen for Barry. Because away from the teleprompter, he's just that bad.

My favourite moment of the night was on CNN when John King threw water on the panelists calling it a win for Obama after the 'scientific poll'.
He told them that Ryan had better numbers after the VP debate yet they were calling that one a draw.

rd - good catch, I hadn't thought that through any further than "he's the interviewer", putting a racial lens on who they're talking to SHOULD have given them more Obama support. It looks like that thinking doesn't work anymore. Or at least, not as well. MLK would be proud, Al Sharpton must be gnashing his teeth.

But only, Red Jeff, if the 3 to 1 is AGAINST them.

I wouldn't. Be surprised if President Obama had his Seal team whack some guys in Lybia in attempt to show himself as the strong guy just before Election Day. The man is capable of anything and his media buddies would love it.

And we are surprised?

A journalist and arithmetic and we expect him to be able to add?

What next, expect him to be honest?

It's so weird that none of them mentioned "binders full of women" which is supposed to be the next BIG liberal gotcha on Mitt Romney. It's almost like they don't care about that. I know shocking.

Romney will come out like a tiger in the next debate after finally seeing how in the bag for Obama the MSM is. Hopefully the American people will finally get their eyes opened too. The gob-smacked look on Romney's face when Obama staightfaced lied about the Bengazi attack and then asked the "moderator" to "get the transcript" and she held up the sheet of paper and rounded out on Romney told everyone watching with half a brain that Romney had been ambushed and he knew it. The Chicago mob will be in for one hell of a fight now from Romney, this guy wont be bringing a knife to a gunfight next debate, he'll be bringing a howitzer. I can hardly wait.

Kate,
we need a cleanup on isle 13.

Someone is standing on the post button..

A draw?..... WTF.

Oh - melwilde - would you mind hitting the 'post' button just one more time. I didn't get your drift the first SIX times!!!

Obama lost in Kentucky, he NEEDED to win last night and come hell or high water and Big Candy the Moderator the Lib/Left will say he did.

For anyone watching and LISTENING to the debate, he was hesitant and shooting the BS which he's good at but calling him a winner is a stretch IMO.

I wasn't able to watch the debate but from watching the Luntz group afterward and the commentators on Fox I got the impression that Obama may have won the battle but lost the war. According to the commentators Obama won on points, According to the Luntz group the points didn't matter as the way the debate went overall showed the 'undecided' that they should overwhelmingly vote Romney. Got a chuckle out of one of the Obama voters in the focus group who recited every Obama talking point from the last six weeks as the reason she is voting Obama. I don't think she watched the debate because she was too busy giving Obama a tongue bath.

It's still unbelievable to me that people look around see the economy is in the tank and think that the problem is that everyone isn't paying their "fair share" as in I'm going to rip a new butt hole in everyone of the people who could possibly create new jobs. That's the Obama plan and people are on board with it. It's complete madness.

There are 8 in the focus group. 3 pro-Romney, 1 pro-Obama, 2 undecided... what did the other 2 think? The host knew how each in the group felt before posing the questions.

How did the other two feel?

I don't think debates mean much. Republicans get their vote out better than Demos so this election will be based on whether the Demos get their vote out or whether they can stuff enough ballot boxes. (I put nothing past these people)

Had to laugh at the focus group. The young lady who said she was leaning towards Romney because he was a businessman who could probably 'take care' of them best! Just goes to so that the 47% taker group is not limited to Demos. Cut up the credit cards sweetheart!

With their fingers?

I wish who I could remember who posted this originally, but it went something like this:

"If you want to discourage something (income, capital gains) you tax it. If you want to encourage something (poverty, single parenting) you subsidize it."

Which direction does the US need to go in for their economy to improve?

Candy Crowley, the new Helen Thomas.

"Candy Crowley, the new Helen Thomas."

OUTSTANDING!

Thank you sir.

LSDNC: 'Too drugged to care anymore'.

IMHO Romney's mistake was the adjective he used: "terrorist". The proper adjective would have been "organised" for the noun "attack".
It was an organised attack, not a spontaneous attack. Using "terrorist" -- which BTW has become a substitute for the real adjective -- allowed Obama to say that, because he had said "terrorist" in his eulogy, all was well.

I wish the moderators would have the power (or fortitude) to ask one simple question:

Mr. President, if you were caucasion, do you think you would have a hope in hell of being re-elected ?
