Excuses, Excuses
Somehow, in all their post-debate whining and spin, the Obamaites have forgotten to blame Bush for their man’s sorry performance.
Since Wednesday’s debate spanking of the 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama by 45th President of the United States, Mitt Romney, the liberal establishment and their media allies have joined the Obama campaign team in furiously blaming everything but the man who lost. (One possible and unlikely exception was Bill Maher who said, on Twitter, that “Obama looks like he DOES need a teleprompter.”)
Following is a far from exhaustive list of Democrat excuses. You will notice certain themes. Those marked with an asterisk work for the Obama administration, the Obama campaign, or the Democratic National Committee.
Al Gore: It was the altitude.
David Plouffe*: It was the media, secretly wanting a Romney win.
David Axelrod* (Obama adviser): It was just good acting by Romney. And Romney is a liar.
Stephanie Cutter* (Obama adviser): It was the moderator.
Bob Woodward: Obama was distracted, maybe by his personal life.
James Carville: Talking to Romney is like talking to a chainsaw.
Michael Moore: It was John Kerry.
Andrew Sullivan: It was the moderator.
Juan Williams: It was liberals like Michael Moore and Andrew Sullivan on Twitter.
Darrell Delamaide: The moderator asked questions biased toward the Republican agenda.
Brad Woodhouse*: Romney is a liar.
(Intermission for a shred of honesty)
Marc Ambinder: It was the format, Obama’s cautiousness, a bad memory, tiredness from dealing with Turkey and Syria, and (honesty!) that “Obama just doesn’t have a very good affirmative argument to make.”

There are still Obama defenders saying "he inherited such a mess from Bush." To them I say what hasn't the Democrat-controlled Congress passed a budget in 3 years? Especially in the 2 years the Democrats controlled the House and Senate. "Miserable failure" doesn't come close to describing Obama.
Appleby| 10.5.12 @ 6:51AM
If the worst happens and he does get re-elected, is he going to blame his plight on the people in charge for the last four years?
I was in Montreal once in a park, with a friend, when we saw a child of about 5 start swinging on a shelf attached to a hot dog cart where the owner had placed condiments, flatware and the like. The owner asked her to stop. Mommy remained oblivious -- until Susie took a last swing and the shelf broke off, with all the items crashing to the ground. My friend and I rushed to help the owner pick up his things and see what the damage was. Mommie crouched down in front of Susie and said (in English, although this was Montreal, "DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THIS WAS NOT YOUR FAULT?" Being an outspoken kind of a person, I turned to her and said, "You are right, Madam. IT WAS YOUR FAULT." To our surprise, Mommy offered no apology, no assistance, and of course no financial compensation to the outraged owner for the property she and her darling had destroyed. That's what I thought of when I heard the nannies fluttering around their Pet Rock and reassuring him that his failure was not his fault.

Let's think about this: The libs blame the attack by terrorist (which is on film) on Bush; the Hurricane in N.O. on Bush; (for those who can think rationally, it was a Dem Gov/Mayor who refused to do their jobs); the econmy 4 years later on Bush, the bank/real estate collapse on Bush (again, anyone who can think, see Dodd/Frank law), etc., etc. my gosh, if anyone doesnt think these people are CHILDREN trying to act like adults then we deserve to be run by such. Either that or they are what a number of us have been saying, a group of radical marxists trying to destroy this country from within (and even outside) with the help of our corrupt media. This November the adults need to replace the children with adults, and restore this country, morally, ethically, and spiritually. No more excuses - just do it.

It is Bush's fault. He was a disaster for conservatives and the country. It is also Obama's fault for continuing with Bush's policy of endless war and bailouts for the banksters. To that he added his bailouts of the government unions. They both stunk to high heavens. We got Obama because of the failure of Bush and the Republican elites.

The President was calm, cool and followed their strategy.
But, who was that other guy? He looked like the Joker, with the permanent fake smile, he was a bully (which I'm sure you all loved) - but lots of people don't. Only the activists on both sides thought he did a good job.
Polling indicates he got at best a slight boost - but I trust he'll put his foot in his mouth again and down he'll go again.

As Ann Coulter pointed out, leftists like to claim to be victims while they're the worst bullies. It's a combination of projection and a pre-emptive strike. If you're going to steal from a bank, it's useful to complain that you saw the teller sneaking funds from the drawer.
Nice try, Purp. Really. But at some point, the independents you hope to fool can see your nose on your face as much as you try to deny it. When members of the non-foxnews media bash and belittle Romney in a manner that would be a hatecrime in the other direction, you and typical leftists think it's funny. But when you lose in a MODERATED debate (not a fight, merely a debate) where Obama himself broke the time limit, you cry like a Sandra Fluke. In the meantime, your agenda achieves nothing that simple crony capitalism could accomplish with less pretense.
I'm a fan of Klitschko due to my wife's nationality and they lost fights. They simply got over it and moved on. This crybaby bellyaching is un-presidential and self-defeating. I hope Obama and the non-Fox media keep it up. Plays right into our hands.

Jack. You live too close to Chicago . It has sewed your thinking. Bush made many mistakes, but it was the Dems who were in charge from 2007 on and they bear the greatest burden--simply by pushing their leftist policies of phony phairness which brought down the economy in 2008. I refuse to wear a Mao outfit. They have been gradually steering this country toward socialism/communism for decades--and yes, the Republicans didn't do enough to stop it and/or didn't understand what was really happening all around them. Many of them still don't get it.

There's a web page, isidewith.com, that allows you to fill out a multiple choice form (with details) of your positions on critical issues and then compares it to all the candidates (including obscure ones) AND even compares your answers to a comparison with those in your state and the country overall. Tons of fun. I was surprised to see that I agreed mostly with Romney on 88% of the issues but when I clicked on him, it indicated surprisingly that he didn't want to repeal Obamacare but rather reform it. It also said that he agreed with me about drilling for oil and natural gas.
I clicked on Obama (55% agreement) and surprisingly, he claimed to "agree" with me on drilling for gas and oil. Of course, we all know he has no intention of doing so. Heck, even Romney may cave under pressure from the environmental wackos. But it's fun to get an idea as to their official positions.

Private sector jobs (+104K) and government jobs (+10K) equals 114K Caliban. Extremely weak and should have pushed U3 up, not down.
The alleged 873K is supposedly part-time jobs added and is a mythical trick to get the real 11% U3 rate to look like it is under 8%. They magically found in a survey that previously uncounted people had gotten jobs that they did not count.
So we have gone from not counting 2.5M people who are out of work but not counted for various reasons, to finding almost 900K jobs we didn’t know about. You are either a propagandist, the dumbest MF I ever heard, or both.
The alleged people returning to work are supposed to be part-time perhaps like your troll job or hamburger flipper.

Now it is becoming clear. The real BLS Jobs Report had 114K added. You need more than that to stay even with some 3 million in immigration.
They used the Household Survey that is a limited sample that is then used to project the figure they want. Apparently they applied the correction they created in this household phone poll to then adjust the real BLS numbers that were from employers. Neat trick, but way too obvious.

Fascinating. We just discovered that Obama, not running against Bush, must run against himself. As a street corner agitator he makes a great impression, but as a chief executive his inabilities to formulate policy and hold direction surely cause trouble. It is one thing to constantly criticize and quite another to build a vision which is viable and sustainable.
The danger here is not only the posse riding to his rescue but his reaction to a potential loss. A "they don't deserve me" type reaction could cause someone with his mental disorder to burn down the barn out of spite. This isn't over yet and the dangers are legion.

The whole “blame game” might be reduced to analyzing a hand.
Obviously, when you SAY it’s X’s fault, it’s natural to point YOUR finger at X. And, as the facile saying goes, three fingers are pointing at YOU, when you do this.
I SAY----when it comes to Obama, and his ilk, the only finger to keep in mind is the middle one.
He is always, ONLY, giving us all that one! And, of course, hiding this fact from us.
The other essential hand gestures are---a clenched fist, and an open hand.
Yes—for Obama, the middle finger cycles with a clenched fist, with many swings of the latter, and in-your-face flicks of the first.
And, there’s nice guy Romney, wanting to shake hands with everybody, in true good humor, whose verified history is all about---get ready for it:

The unemployment rate dropped below 8% to 7.8%, the lowest rate since January 2009, and we have 325,000 more Americans working than before Obama took office.

Dear Mr. Kaminsky:
What I think is the real reason is much scary than the excuses. Not enough years ago I had to work with a man who behaved much as Obama does. At first I thought him a lying scum, but later discovered that he was mentally ill: genuinely unable to tell truth from falsehood.
His relative success despite this was due to a talent: in meetings he could say nothing of substance for quite a long time until he understood who had the power in the room, then tailor his opinions and facts to flatter that person or group.
If, however, you put him in a meeting in which he knew he absolutely had to represent a client's actual position to someone strongly committed to opposing views, he would became unable to speak coherently, hem. haw, shuffle his feet, "tangentialize", become visibly restless, and veer between expressing anger, scorn, resignation, and an almost desperate urge to escape.
In watching Obama's debate performance I saw this guy again.

The big O was allowed about 4 m0re minutes but delivered much fewer words when you take out the ahs. His idiotic minions actually thought he was cheated. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Keeping looking at the handkerchief.

Isn't this how it works in the Democratic Party? If you wonder what it is like when there are no Republicans, check out Detroit but don't go too slow when you are checking it out.

And from the really smart end of the country you see another side of the Democratic Party. It is all functionally idiotic and it leads to the same place, a third world country. Time for a change.

how much did Kos charge you for that sophomoric nonsense, Queenie?????
"If you voted FOR ObaMao in 2008 to prove you're not a racist, vote AGAINST him in 2012 to prove you're not a total ignoramus!"

That's actually 'deep thinking' on the Democrat scale...
