My Wife and I parked ourselves in the living room with bowls of popcorn and our Diet Cokes, to watch the final Presidential debate of 2012 (10/22/2012). I have spent a great amount of time and energy on our THP Website, exposing the incompetence, Malfeasance, obfuscations and just plain lies from Barack Obama and his Administration about our Benghazi, Libya Embassy destruction and the tragic deaths of our Ambassador and three others (Christopher Stevens, Sean Smith, Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods).
I was delighted when Moderator of the debate Bob Schieffer, opened with a question about the Benghazi tragedy. I was dismayed when Mitt Romney seemed to simply ignore the chance to bludgeon Barack Obama about Benghazi.
My dismay turned into anger towards Mitt Romney. I watched Barack Obama carefully and noticed he seemed a bit unsettled himself at Romney's avoidance of the Benghazi tragedy. At least two times during the debate, Barack Obama seemed to stick his chin out about Benghazi and taunted and dared Romney to take a swing.
Slowly but surely, it began to dawn on me that this was not avoidance on Romney's part, but rather a devised strategy. It was similar to a strategy I have used when debating Humanist/Atheists about God as Creator (I am a recovered Humanist/Atheist, with that heritage going back at least 5 generations). Knowing that the Humanist/Atheist will come loaded with details and arguments about Evolution and so on, I simply tell them up front, that I will give them that argument without debate - 'IF' they will debate with me the Origin of 'Space' (Space as the Housing of All that exists) - what did 'Space' Evolve from and how and when?
Major and even obscure Newspapers, Television Broadcast and Cable services and pundits of all varieties have questioned the seeming indifference of Barack Obama and his Administration about the lack of Security at Benghazi, Libya - especially since Congressional hearings has revealed that numerous requests were filed requesting more security.
The refusal to label the Benghazi Tragedy a pre-planned Islamic terrorist attack coinciding with 9-11 and instead blaming the attack as a spontaneous demonstration based on a obscure video on YouTube and then the continual 'Spin', obfuscations and lies to cover up the cover-up has left people in the United States and all over the World shaking their heads and questioning Barack Obama.
It was apparent that Barack Obama had spent most of his preparatory time for the debate, devising and developing excuses and most importantly - 'Plausible Denial' of his involvement in the Benghazi tragedy.
Mitt Romney never gave Barack Obama the chance that Obama desperately wanted and left Obama visibly shaken and stewing in his own juices.
Personally, I think the Romney strategy was masterful and placed Obama in attack mode and Obama showed the desperation in his demeanor and his Sophomoric words which left Barack Obama look like a Community Organizer, rather than a Head of State and Commander-In-Chief.
I would be remiss if I did not mention that Mitt Romney was NOT in my top 5 choices for the GOP nomination, but the more I see him and the more I hear him I think he will be a formidable foe for Barack Obama and Liberal Progressives who want to destroy the American Economic System through Wealth Redistribution.
Trifecta reviews the third and final debate between President Obama and Gov. Mitt Romney (10/22/2012). Trifecta thinks that Romney won the foreign policy debate, and quite possibly secured his seat in the Oval Office. Hear why.
Tuesday night is the second presidential debate between Mitt Romney and Barack Obama. This debate will be town hall format and CNN's Candy Crowley will moderate. How will Romney and Obama fare? Will President Obama get his revenge for a debate performance that was universally seen as lackluster? Find out on this Trifecta.
The emperor wears no clothes. The bloom is off the rose. The bigger they are, the harder they fall. Pardon the barrage of stale metaphors, but it’s difficult to put into words the utter pasting Mitt Romney put on Barack Obama last week.
Indeed, when all of CNN and MSNBC – to include Chris Matthews, Lawrence O’Donnell and Rachel Maddow – hysterically admit that President Obama got smoked; he got smoked. Bad.
Liberal blogger and Obama sycophant Andrew Sullivan captured the universally shared “progressive” panic as the brutal mismatch came to a close: “How is Obama’s closing statement so f—ing sad, confused and lame? He choked. He lost. He may even have lost the election tonight.”v
For those of us who have long recognized the messianic myth that is Barack Hussein Obama, the debate was especially gratifying.
The world had fallen prey to a cartoonish hoax. This media-crafted Iron Man has proven a mere mortal, a tin man, an international embarrassment.
The jig is up.
In just 90 minutes, Mitt Romney stripped away the Iron Man costume and exposed, naked beneath, a man more closely resembling Robert Downey Jr.
Recall the image, so often seen, of a young Robert, head downcast in shame, standing before the judge to rationalize why, yet again, he’d screwed up magnificently. Last Wednesday was Barack’s turn.
Don’t get me wrong, I like Robert Downey Jr. – I’m glad he turned his life around. But he’s an actor. He reads his lines. He’s not Iron Man. And he’s not qualified to be president.
Neither is Barack Obama.
And so, lost with no teleprompter binky, and, thus, suffering a debate trouncing unparalleled in history, it would seem that the president’s not so good, very bad week couldn’t get worse.
It got worse.
Just two days prior, the U.S. Supreme Court revived hope – long thought dead – that Obamacare, the president’s signature achievement, might yet be ruled unconstitutional. The High Court shocked the legal community by opening its new term with an order giving the Obama Justice Department just 30 days to respond to Liberty Counsel’s petition for rehearing. Liberty Counsel filed the petition on behalf of Liberty University and two private individuals.
An appeals court in Richmond, Va., ruled that the Anti-Injunction Act, or AIA, barred the court from addressing the merits in Liberty Univ., Inc. v. Geithner, which challenged the individual mandate (Section 1501) and the employer insurance mandate (Section 1513) of Obamacare.
In addition to the constitutional arguments that Congress lacked authority to pass the law, the suit also raised the Free Exercise of religion claim because of the forced taxpayer funding of abortion.
You may recall that the first day of oral argument was dedicated to the AIA, the issue that Liberty University’s case placed before the High Court. In June, the Supreme Court ruled that the AIA does not apply to Obamacare. Therefore, Liberty Counsel asked the Court to grant the petition (because Liberty University prevailed on the AIA claim), vacate the Court of Appeals ruling and remand (send back) the case to the Court of Appeals to consider the Free Exercise claim and the employer mandate, neither of which were decided by the High Court.
Long story short: If the Supreme Court ultimately hears the case on appeal – which is highly possible as the claims are unique – and rules that the employer mandate and Free Exercise claims are legit, Obamacare dies on the vine. It’s effectively overturned. It’s like a shiny new Chevy Volt without the exploding battery. It goes nowhere fast and is towed to the junkyard of really, really stupid ideas.
This means, among other things, that people who value human life won’t be made complicit in abortion homicide on the taxpayer dime.
“Obamacare is the biggest funding of abortion in American history,” said Mat Staver, founder and chairman of Liberty Counsel and dean of Liberty University School of Law. “Under the Health and Human Services (HHS) mandate, Obamacare will, for the first time, require employers and individuals to directly fund abortion.
“This abortion mandate collides with religious freedom and the rights of conscience. I am very pleased with the Court’s decision today,” concluded Staver.
During the debate, Mitt Romney took Obama to task over Obamacare: “I just don’t know how the president could have come into office, facing 23 million people out of work, rising unemployment, an economic crisis at the – at the kitchen table and spent his energy and passion for two years fighting for Obamacare instead of fighting for jobs for the American people. It has killed jobs.”
Obama was left stuttering and stammering – sheepishly defending his grossly unaffordable, wholly unsustainable and wildly unpopular Obamacare monstrosity.
I was left encouraged.
Whether by legislative repeal, or through Liberty Counsel’s ongoing case, freedom-loving America should be confident. This freakish Frankenstein monster will, God willing, be soon laid to rest beneath the cold, clammy earth from which Democrats dug it up.
Obama’s shovel-ready debate performance was the groundbreaking.
Fox and Friends spoke to Michelle Malkin this morning (10/3/2012) for her reaction to last night’s presidential debate. She felt that Mitt Romney’s apparent victory in the first debate was the result of the president taking for granted his opponent and the election in general.
“I always think it’s better to be underestimated than overestimated. I think in this case, Barack Obama suffered from his own hubris. He strolled in there thinking he could just phone it in,” Malkin said.
She characterized the president as “rambling” at times, lauding the Republican challenger for “mechanically and logically dissecting” Obama’s arguments and “talking points.”
