Busy schedule forces Obama to cancel debate practices

Romney able to spend more time on preparation

WASHINGTON — President Obama has been forced to cancel several debate practice sessions with Senator John F. Kerry, whom he tapped to play stand-in for Republican challenger Mitt Romney, leaving little time for them to spar before next week’s first presidential debate.

The Massachusetts senator has held at least one mock debate with Obama to help him prepare for the first matchup against the former Bay State governor, to be held Oct. 3 in Denver, but several others were canceled due to the president’s busy schedule, said deputy Obama campaign manager Stephanie Cutter.

What is Mitt's interest in the presidency? What is his vision? Does he really “Believe in America”? Why does he want, as he says, to “take the presidency"? Is he being honest? See here or links below.



Truth is, Mitt is not the right man for the Presidency. He is not the business man he advertises. He is a pirate, dressed in a business suit! He started Bain to bust and raid the treasuries of umpteen hundreds or thousands of companies. And he's buried his treasure in the Caribbean.

 

Mitt's just doing what he does best – taking personal advantage of an opportunity. He's looking to buy the White House as his new home office. The Presidency can help create greater fortune for himself, for his family, for his friends and perhaps his Church. Once these super wealthy people corner America's money, they'll decide whether to trickle it down.

But the Obama team appeared Thursday to go out of its way to lower expectations for the trio of one-on-one debates between the president and Romney next month.

He knows he is going to lose so they will chalk it up to - no time.....time to go on Lretterman and the view though

 

"Busy Schedule"??--WHAT Busy Schedule, Matt?--Do you mean Barack Obama's appearance on The View, David Letterman? Campaigning at college campuses everywhere in Ohio? Do you mean his speech at the U.N. where he again flat out LIED by claiming that "The Video Did IT"?--SORRY, says Obama to Benjamin Natanyahu. "I'm TOO BUSY to meet with you concerning Israel's security". Otherwise, Obama is certainly NOT BUSY performing his actual job as president of the United States. --He has never been a President. He is not a Commander in Chief. he is a Campaigner (and golfer) in Chief..Probably Valerie Jarrett is actually running the White House now.----

Also, why does Barack Obama need debate practice anyway? Obama's debate strategy is simple. Just LIE about Romney's record. And, especially, just LIE about his own domestic and foreign policy record.--Just lie about everything.

I'm confused.  Isn't that Romney's strategy?

President Obama all of a sudden has no time for practice, really, he's had plenty of time for campaigning, going on talk shows, now all of a sudden he's too busy. sure, okay, whatever you say.

Good grief . . . he has been on the world stage for 4 YEARS!!!! He has had nothing to do but blabber. Granted his attendance at White House briefings is extremely poor (making beer perhaps, playing golf, on vacation). Who knows what he has been doing, but he loves campaigning. . .
