Dejected Ed Schultz & Rachel Maddow Lament Obama’s Debate Performance: ‘I’m Disappointed’

Oct. 3, 2012 10:49pm Jonathon M. Seidl

Need to know how Mitt Romney and President Obama did during the debate? MSNBC’s Ed Schultz and Rachel Maddow give you a clue. Hint: They’re not happy with the president’s performance, and threw out phrases like “I’m disappointed,” Obama was “off his game,” and “I was absolutely stunned tonight”:

In CONTROL, Glenn Beck presents a passionate, fact-based case for guns that reveals why gun control isn’t really about controlling guns at all; it’s about controlling us. Find out more HERE.

Took a glance at yahoo and aol pages.. Gee.. nothing about the debate.. No lead story no follow up story. That says it all. The “spin” boys will be up all night in order to do show prep for the main line media morning shows. I am convinced by the time they get done, I won’t recognize that we watched the same debate.
Hey Obama and team Mitt ain’t no McCain.

  loved it when obama used occupy language and lied that we have tax breaks for companies that leave the country and Romney challenged him by saying there is no such tax credit. Obama was silent and couldn’t defend his occupy language

  Hope we’re not witnessing a Chicago-style Rocky/Muhammad Ali rope-a-dope strategy to set up a knock-out punch in the last debate that wins back the hearts of the now dejected

  I have to agree with jokerwatcher, this could have been a setup by Obama to learn all Romney’s best arguments without giving out any of his defensive moves in return. This debate won;t matter if Obama dominates in the last one. No, I am not even close to being an Obama supporter. I just think our celebrations are premature. The one thing that gives me hope is that Romney resisted giving details. So, in all likelihood, he is holding enough in reserve to trounce Obama in the last debate.

Who cares what is said on MSNBC. Hey The Blaze how come we have not heard from Chrissy lately.

If Obama looses, these Libs/Progressives will be eating him piece by piece. They are known to kill their own especially if that person is a looser.

  The blaze has posted Chris Matthews reaction – and its a doozy!
  
  The MSM has been, like Obama, broadsided, outmaneuvered, outfought and are plain out of luck at this time. What matters next will be seen by morning – will the MSM turn on Obama or come back with as much spin, spin, spin as they can manage to fabricate.

A fifth grader could beat Obama in a debate when the subject is the economy and running a business. I’m referring to a fifth grader who runs a lemonade stand.

No winner. No loser.

Just a sharp contrast between a statesman and a serial blame artist.

If he had just used the southern accent…

  If this debate was aired in majority black areas we would have heard that accent. But people of all races could clearly see who won

  Please remember that the Left has been pre-excusing Obama’s performance all week with references to Romney’s 25 Republican primary candidate debates, etc. The best way to save face is to predict a poor performance in advance and then drag out the justifications the next morning. I don’t buy Schultz’s, Matthew’s and Madcow’s lamentations for a minute, it all seemed a tad too coordinated and scripted…and Sharpton always look like he just sat in a puddle although Obama had a couple of those looks tonight as well.
  
  By the time the Left has re-interpreted and edited the debate those who watched it will be convinced it was another event than what they witnessed and those who didn’t will come away with an understanding wholly the fabrication of the Left.
  
  If you expect the NYT to herald Romney as suddenly the only man in the room fit to the president you’ll be disappointed.
  
  A plan, they always have a plan and woe be unto anyone who tries to derail it.

I love all these “I’m not sure who really won this..” comments in the media. Obama was horribly out-debated on every question.

Actually, I thought Barry held his own, especially when you consider the house of cards made out of lies that he was standing on, although the “If I say it, it must be true” wasn’t working too well for him.

  Yeah, and did you hear Romney when he said “Look, I have 5 boys. I am used to people saying untrue things over and over trying to get you to believe them”. That was awesome.

When even these two blowhards admit he lost, you KNOW it was a landslide victory for Romney. I was very glad to see his focus on States rights. Outstanding job.

  Reverend Al basically took the attitude that “Romney lied about everything he talked about.” That guy is such a douche bag.
