1. Obama was good in the the Town hall debate last election

no doubt Romney will put on that creepy voice

[flamingdem]

22. I'm going to watch with subtitles

mostly because I'll be in a class but you reminded me that Rmoney sounds so creepy! Now he does the fake Reagan voice, I'm sure he pays some actor 500 an hour for lessons, what an azz.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

23. I hope that Romney knows we will listening out for that fake Reagan voice

[alcibiades_mystery]

2. Is there anything that wouldn't favor Romney for Ms. Mitchell?

What a buffoon.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

4. enjoy the artistic cherry-picking and editing of her piece

all designed to make Mittens look grand and portray Obama as out-of-touch

[tarheelsunc]

3. Do people actually think she ISN'T a conservative plant?

[alcibiades_mystery]

6. her biggest fan

You really have to read the whole thread to enjoy the uber-weird defense.

[Cha]

13. I was just thinking of him and wondering if

I should link him to this thread? Nah, I don't think that would do any good.

[patrice]

5. She's just pissed off that O is using that video clip of her comment that R's $5 trillion tax cut

Is not paid for.

[ejbr]

35. Bingo!!!

She's also probably trying to offset her words being used against Rmoney.

[Hutzpa]

7. .

[madaboutharry]

8. She tries too hard and comes off sounding

Insincere and phony half the time.

[chillfactor]

9. andrea is a republican tool....nuff' said...

[Jim__]

10. Mrs Greenspan also thinks that Alan was a wonderful Fed chairman.

[Sky Masterson]

12. Let her dumb ass think that.

14. Why? Because of this? "Mitt Romney gets 'testy' at New Hampshire Town Hall"

Town Hall Debate Style Presents a Challenge for Rude, Chronic Interrupter Mitt Romney

h/t Tx4obama http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251145318

Two distinct different points of view on romney at Town Halls.. Andrea Mitchell's and Sarah Jones

Here's another debate Vid starring mitt, worth noting.. "Angry Under Pressure"

[progressivebydesign]

27. Wow. everyone needs to post that second vid on their social media today. what an asshole.

And the way he put his hand on the other guy... shocked he didn't deck him. This is how he acted in the first debate, and for some reason the pundits ignored it, but my friends all talked about what a rude asshole he was.

[Cha]

30. Yeah, many on here ignored mitt's bully lying for the Plutocrats. nm

[kerouac2]

15. Romney is very confident and direct as he spews BS.

R can look everyone in the eyes and say whatever he thinks they want to hear to make the sale. He also lists points. ie: What I'm going to do is 1. some lie, 2. another lie, 3. something impossible and 4. another lie.

Obama has to list things that he did, what the future will hold if elected, PLUS hit Rom at the same time. No more pointing out that he agrees with R on anything. No more compliments like "we both want what's best for America, but we just have different opinions on how to do it" type stuff. R does not want what's best for America. Never has, never will.

When R says #1 energy independence, prez needs to tell everyone that we are exporting more oil than ever. That it's our #1 export. Supply isn't the problem, it's greedy oil companies putting profit above America... which he can then tie into Romney's company shipping jobs to China for profit.

There is so much ammo, but I just don't think Obama is willing to "lower" himself to laying it all out there. He seems to expect the moderator or media to say something -- or for people to just inherently know that mittens if full of bs. Or for his ads to do his talking for him.

Very frustrating considering the media opinions afterward will no doubt skewer Obama. If he's calm, he's not engaged. If he's lively, then he's trying to be Biden. They already say he has to crush romney, so it's impossible to live up to the pre-debate requirement for his success.

[WI_DEM]

16. I'm afraid even if the president does well the punditry will still

give it to Romney. They are doing all they can to elect him. It's all about that lousy debate that they harp on and give little time to better job numbers or expanding economic confidence.

[adigal]

17. I think Town Hall is the worst format for Romney!!!

He has to talk to real people, unfiltered!! That hasn't happened in a while to him, he will be off his game. They said that he has been practicing this format, but he can practice all he wants with his sycophants - a town hall is not a forum to spew talking points. You have to answer the questions of those real people. Not Romney's strong suit.

[Mike Daniels]

18. That's funny because there's no shortage of footage showing Romney being a jackass

at town halls or any other event where he disagrees with the question or argument being made by an audience member.

[progressivebydesign]

25. how many times will he say "LET ME FINISH!!!" ? Should be our drinking game tonight. nt

[Cha]

31. I vote for "IT'S MY TURN!" too.

[MSMITH33156]

19. Good

I want everyone on TV talking about how Romney is an unstoppable force. At 10:30 tonight, they will be singing a different tune.

[otohara]

20. Mr Roboto

can't stand being around regular folks

[Zoeisright]

21. Fuck off, Andrea Bitchell.

[progressivebydesign]

24. Guessing she hasn't seen all the videos of Romney screaming at people asking questions???

My god.. there are enough of them out there. He freaks out and starts yelling OVER them, interrupting them, shouting at them, THEN he says.. "we're done. If you're not willing to listen to me!!" He is a classic narcissist. They do NOT do well with people questioning them on anything. Mitchell is an idiot libertarian.

[JiminyJominy]

26. Problem Is...

no matter what lies or BS Romney is spewing, he DELIVERS it well and makes people believe it with that evil looking smile and blink job he does.

[Cha]

32. They're easy suckers then... the blinking and freaking

evil smirk are dead give aways.

Ooops! he's not smirking there..

28. Why so many negative people?

I guess I don't get it. I thought a place like this would have lots of supportive people, collecting the most interesting and positive signs for us. Why on Earth would this kind of format be bad for our President? For god's sake, you see him all the time enjoying people; and it is not fake like Romney. You see kids reacting to him in a loving manner. Kids know. People love to have a beer with Obama. Romney sits down with two veterans, and ends up with a red face, because the fellow just happens to be gay.
How about the moment a Pizza guy asks permission to hug Obama, and we saw our President in a bear hug..feet off the floor. Ever see Mittens like that?
I am kind of sick of all this garbage. He may..he may not..maybe this and maybe that. I am going to stand strong and support my President.and believe he will knock one out of the park tonight. Andrea..sure you are on our side?

[GeorgeGist]

29. Your concern is noted.

Hope you like pepperoni.

[dgraz007]

34. lol

I am a chef. Not much I don't like. But yeah..Pepperoni is fine

[Cha]

33. It's Andrea Freaking Mitchell who's negative about PBO and

Positive about mittLies.

No one ever suspected Andrea Mitchell was on our side.

[Cha]

36. So What Was That, Andrea Mitchell, was saying about

Mitt and Town Hall Debates?

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

37. hee-hee

thanks for resurrecting this thread

[Cha]

38. I had to.

I couldn't let it go.

[LovePeacock]

39. Why is she even allowed to be a reporter? She's married to Greenspan. Conflict of interest, anyone?
