When Libs Attack … Liberals, Progressives, Democrats & MSM Bash Obama for Poor Performance

GET READY FOR THE NEW TV REALITY SHOW … WHEN THE LEFT ATTACKS THEIR OWN.

The Far LEFT has invested so much time, money and energy in Barack Obama, the most liberal President that the United States has ever seen. However, last night following a dreadful, pathetic, lethargic and uninspired Presidential debate performance in Denver … the LIBS lost their collective minds and were LIVID with Barack Obama. However, what the LEFT does not comprehend, is Obama cannot defend his failed record. His political rhetoric may play well with his far Left base, but that is about it. Sound bytes and cute jokes are not looked to kindly buy those who have lost their jobs, homes and businesses.

How bad was it for Obama Wednesday night? Even some of his biggest fans were livid that he let Mitt Romney walk away with a win, and they were not suffering in silence.

Within an hour of the debate ending, liberals and longtime Democratic operatives and pundits took to the airwaves and Twitter to lament the lost opportunity that was the first presidential debate.

Some of the highlights from the losing side:

 

• Commentator and blogger Andrew Sullivan might have captured the collective reaction best with this tweet, “Look, you know how much I love the guy, and how much of a high-info viewer I am, but this was a disaster for Obama.”
• On MSNBC, talk show host Chris Matthews asked incredulously, “Where was Obama tonight?” He suggested that the president take some cues from the liberal voices on the cable channel. “There’s a hot debate going on in this country.
• Comedian Bill Maher, who takes regular hard jabs at conservatives on his television show and who gave $1 million to a super PAC supporting Obama’s reelection, tweeted, “I can’t believe I’m saying this, but Obama looks like he DOES need a teleprompter”
• Even some of the Democratic party’s best spin-meisters threw in the towel on this one. Jim Manley, a former longtime aide to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and the late Sen. Edward Kennedy, tweeted, “What can I say? Romney lives to fight another day.”

Buyer’s Remourse: AARP Lashes Out at President Barack Obama for Using it to Promote Himself During Debate (VIDEO)

How bad was last night’s Presidential debate for President Barack Obama? Even the in the tank AARP is lashing out at Obama for using AARP by name to promote himself and Obamacare during the debate. AARP ripped President Barack Obama for using the organization’s name to support himself politically in defense of Obama. AARP, who are you kidding, Obama used his own grandmother by name in an attempt to grasp at anything to defend his failed policies and come up with some type of response.

Key phrase in Obama’s rambling, Romney worked with Democrats in the state of Massachusetts on healthcare. What did Obama do, made backroom deals with Democrat politicians, insurance carriers and AARP and rammed an unpopular Obamacare down the throats of America.

The AARP ripped President Barack Obama for using the organization’s name to support himself politically during Wednesday evening’s presidential debate.

“While we respect the rights of each campaign to make its case to voters, AARP has never consented to the use of its name by any candidate or political campaign,” AARP vice president John Hishta said in a statement immediately after the debate. “AARP is a nonpartisan organization, and we do not endorse political candidates nor coordinate with any candidate or political party.”

The president mentioned AARP to support his attack on Romney’s Medicare plan.

“And then, what you’ve got is folks like my grandmother at the mercy of the private insurance system precisely at the time when they are most in need of decent health care,” Obama said. “So, I don’t think vouchers are the right way to go. And this is not my own – only my opinion. AARP thinks that the – the savings that we obtained from Medicare bolster the system, lengthen the Medicare trust fund by eight years. Benefits were not affected at all. “

With all due respect to AARP, you sleep with dogs, you get fleas. AARP made their backroom deal with Obama and Obamacare and sold old millions of seniors that they claim to care about. AARP claims to be nonpartisan, hardly.

AARP endorsed Obamacare in what South Carolina Republican Sen. Jim DeMint called a move that “sells out seniors.” DeMint argued in a recent op-ed that AARP “poses as a disinterested senior advocate, [but] functions as an insurance conglomerate, with a liberal lobbying arm on the side.”

“AARP depends on profits, royalties and commissions to make up more than 50 percent of its annual revenues,” DeMint wrote. “Membership dues from seniors account for only about 20 percent. The sums involved aren’t chump change: AARP’s $458 million in health insurance revenue in 2011 would rank it as the nation’s sixth most profitable health insurer.”

Listen to Romney’s Response on Obamacare

After Woeful Obama Debate Performance, Stumbling Obama Surrogate MD Gov. Martin O’Malley Refereed to ‘President Romney’

Not only was President Barack Obama out of sorts, off his game and confused as Obama found it impossible to defend his economic record without the aid of a prepared speech, a teleprompter and a complicit in the tank MSM … Obama’s surrogates were befuddled as well. It was so bad that the shellacking of Obama, his political minions referred to Romney as President Romney.

How resounding was Mitt Romney’s rout of Barack Obama tonight?  In the post-debate spin room, a hopelessly muddled Martin O’Malley, Dem guv from Maryland and supposedly an Obama surrogate, wound up referring to “President Romney”! Freudian slip, anyone?

Transcript from NewsBusters:

MARTIN O’MALLEY: So, I don’t think there was a game-changer tonight.  The president did handle himself with a much more dignified reserve [translation: listless]. When President, uh, Governor Romney was tested he got kind of testy. And I thought the president maintained his cool throughout [no pulse!]

LARRY O’DONNELL: What about the president’s cool and the president’s “dignified reserve”, as you put it. Do you think he’s going to have to change that style going forward in these debates?

O’MALLEY: I, uh, I don’t believe so.

O’DONNELL: If you could coach him on the next debate. If you could do ten minutes of coaching with the president on the next debate, based on what you saw tonight, what would you tell him to do differently?

O’MALLEY: Uh, I don’t know.

One of the Best Lines of the Denver Presidential Debate … Romney Slams Obama,“You Don’t Just Pick Winners and Losers, You Pick Losers”

As the dust settled on last night’s Presidential debate in Denver, CO, it was obvious that Romney was a man with a plan and Obama looked like a kid who had studied the wrong chapters for a test and was left begging the moderator to ask the next question, wanting to use a lifeline and ask Bill Clinton what to say and looking to the MSM for the protective cover they have provided him for the past five years.

In the VIDEO below, Romney pounded Obama in the exchange over subsidies for oil vs. the $90 billion that Barack Obama gave to the failed “green” energy companies like Solyndra, Solar Trust, Abound Solar, What is the equivalent of 50 years of breaks. Then came one of the memorable lines of the night and it is about time some one called Obama on it. What better place than with 40-60 million viewers. Mitt Romney said of Obama last night, “You Don’t Just Pick Winners and Losers, You Pick Losers.” Ouch, that’s going to leave a mark.

President Obama was so thoroughly beaten last night that even the LEFT had to admit that Obama did a dismal job. During last nights debate I thought Obama was going to use his “LifeCall” medical alert device and say, “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up”.

Post Debate CNN Poll Has Romney With Landslide Win over Obama 67% to 25%

CNN conducts post Presidential debate poll … ROMNEY WINS 67% to 25% FOR OBAMA.

From start to finish of the 1st Presidential debate in Denver, Colorado, GOP Presidential challenger Mitt Romney was on the offensive and not only laid out his plan as to how be was going to get America back to work, grow the economy and make the United States energy independent, Romney lambasted Obama on his failed four years in office. At one point during the debate I thiought that Obama was going to throw in the towel as Romney KO’d BO. Barack Obama has had the past four years to make changes and has done little, what he has done has failed or made matters worse. Romney stated that more of the Obama status quo was bad for America.

It would appear that those watching the debates agreed with Mitt Romney as the early post debate, CNN polls have Obama winning the debate in a landslide. A CBS poll also had Obama winning big. How bad was it for Obama, even Chris Mathews after whining and losing his mind admitted Romney won.

“No presidential candidate has topped 60% in that question since it was first asked in 1984,” says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland.

While nearly half of debate watchers said the showdown didn’t make them more likely to vote for either candidate, 35% said the debate made them more likely to vote for Romney while only 18% said the faceoff made them more likely to vote to re-elect the president.

More than six in ten said that president did worse than expected, with one in five saying that Obama performed better than expected. Compare that to the 82% who said that Romney performed better than expected.

“It looked like Romney wanted to be there and President Obama didn’t want to be there,” noted Democratic strategist and CNN contributor James Carville. “The president didn’t bring his ‘A’ game.”

A CNN/ORC International poll of 430 people who watched the debate showed 67% thought Romney won, compared to 25% for Obama.

Romney’s strongest moments came in repeating his frequent criticism of Obama’s record, saying the nation’s high unemployment and sluggish economic recovery showed the president’s policies haven’t worked.

“There’s no question in my mind if the president is re-elected, you’ll continue to see a middle-class squeeze,” Romney said, adding that another term for Obama also will mean the 2010 Affordable Care Act, known as Obamacare, “will be fully installed.”

At another point, he noted how $90 billion spent on programs and policies to develop alternative energy sources could have been devoted to hiring teachers or other needs that would bring down unemployment.

Hot Air has numerous tweets of opinions of who won and impressions of the debate. Here are some of the doozies.
