Brit Hume on Obama’s Poor Debate Performance: “He’s Not 10 Feet Tall. He Never Has Been” (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Sunday, October 7, 2012, 11:01 AM
Brit Hume broke down the Obama myth this morning on FOX News Sunday.
“He’s not 10 feet tall. He never has been.”
Brit Hume on the Obama myth:
“This idea that Romney won the debate because Obama basically didn’t show up – I don’t buy that. The Barack Obama I heard on that debate stage was the Barack Obama I’ve been listening to now for four years. He sounded very much like himself. I don’t think he was terribly bad, I think he has a very weak case… The president is saddled with weak circumstances and therefore a weak case. And it is not surprising to me that he didn’t argue it very well. The other thing is, despite his reputation of being this world class orator, well maybe he is with a set piece speech. But there is not much evidence in the past that he was a great debater. So I don’t think this thing was as big a shock as supporters on the left feel. I think they thought he was 10 feet tall. He’s not 10 feet tall. He never has been.”

I have always said with a teleprompter he is a moron. without one he is an incomptetent bumbling studdering fool. He stretches answers out for 5 minutes and says nothing and rarely answers questions worth a damn.

I agree with Mr. Hume who expressed it well!
srdem65 commented:
I never saw or heard “the great orator”. All we ever saw was someone reading from a telepromter. What we heard; ta da, ta da, TA DA….ta da, ta da..TA DA.
With that criteria, a competent Hollywood actor could be called a “great orator” when they speak what someone else wrote.
Whistleblower commented:
Help spread this, it is a problem for Obama and his pals.
As Obama’s cover story comes down, the curtain goes up on the USAO’s cover-up of J.J., Jr.’s role in the Blago story

Boom.
Brit nailed it.
That was the same Obama we have always seen.
The empty chair.
john b commented:
Actually, he wants to be a movie star celeb like his bud Clooney. BO does read his lines well, and can then do as many re-takes (or re-sets) as needed to hone a work of fiction.
bigkahuna commented:
Reagan was an actor who became a president. Obama is a socialist actor who is playing president.
He never writes his own scripts and he sucks when he is off the script.
bigL commented:
I thought Hume retired, Oh well he can retire again…
Patty commented:
“well maybe he is with a set piece speech.” Maybe with a written speech rolling down the teleprompter.
And if you can read, wouldn’t many people sound great.
Obama has been attacking Romney, nothing knew, on the campaign trail, in the interviews, etc.
And that has been his only comments from the east coast to the west. No sustenance and NEVER EVER about his failed presidency. He hasn’t much to run on and it is like the last 4 years NEVER happened.
And I wonder how many, even Hume, said long ago, how intelligent Obama was. The measure of a man isn’t what he reads on a teleprompter. The measure of a man is honesty and knowledge of the facts. Clarity and speaking from the heart will win this election, in which Obama doesn’t have a leg to stand on.

No more debate passivity, Obama camp vows
DENVER – Obama advisers admitted Thursday that the president delivered a lackluster performance in the first presidential debate, and said that the campaign would tweak its strategy, which centered on taking a calm and cautious approach to Mitt Romney, for the next one.
An animated Romney set the terms of the 90-minute debate at the University of Denver Wedneday and stayed on offense, while Obama avoided delivering the sharpest attacks his campaign has used against the Republican nominee – on his private-equity career, his offshore bank accounts, his attack on 47 percent of Americans who pay no federal income taxes as moochers, and more.
Neither did Obama hit Romney on his conservative social views or history of shifting positions on the issues.
David Axelrod, the president’s senior political strategist, said on a conference call with campaign reporters that Obama is “very, very eager” to confront Romney again.
“He made a choice last night to answer the questions that were asked and to talk to the American people about what we need to move forward, and not to get into serial fact-checking with Gov. Romney, which can be an exhausting, never-ending pursuit,” Axelrod said.[....................]

Sandy commented:
If Obama comes across as a rabid dog in the second debate to cover for his near catatonic performance in the first one he will be playing to Romney’s strength. It will be Romney who looks Presidential while Obama looks overmatched.

This story reminds me of something… oh yeah.. this is it:
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
and all of the kings horses
and all of the kings men
couldn’t put Humpty Dumpty back together again.
Perhaps the corrupt media have heard of it?
Befuddled commented:
Obama is a con artist with one Schtick.He is good at selling ice cream to diabetics.He’s been preaching his sermon to blacks and white guilt liberals and Marxists for a long time.Too bad he has no other sermons to offer.Too bad he is a one hit wonder.So sad we have a nation spellbound to his song.
