Karl Rove on Obama’s Debate Performance: “He Looked Like Louis XIV Masquerading As President” (Video)

Louis XIV Masquerading as President–

Karl Rove blasted Barack Obama’s performance at the third presidential debate at Lynn University in Florida.
“He looked like Louis XIV masquerading as president of the United States.”

Karl Rove on Obama’s performance:

A couple points we had sort of Louis XIV moments by President Obama. “I said when I would take the shot, I’d take the shot.” Well, wait a minute Mr. President, you didn’t take the shot, the SEALs took the shot at Osama Bin Laden. And, then at another point he said, “The nation, Me…” and then proceeded to describe what the nation wanted to do. And, I thought it was a little unusual because again it came across as just a little pompous at times – Louis XIV masquerading as president.

Obama remained combative and unsubstantive. Romney said it best – Criticizing me is not policy.
Hey Barry, your black Canadian bus is warming up…

I stopped caring what Karl Rove has to say. just because he says something that I would like doesn’t mean I’ll pay attention to it or care.
Rove is like a poll, or better yet, a rash.

I don’t think this is going to help my campaign!

Didn’t French King Louis XIV die of gangrene?

Did not French King Lui Louis XVI get his head chopped off?

This doesn’t bode well for me or campaign!

Obama touts his bailing out of the auto industry (meaning his union friends). He touts saving the large banks and insurance companies from insolvency. He squanders billions in the green energy industry (more to help his political donors than finding new sources of energy) thinking he’s improving the economy. In essence, he seems to think he is Captain America and is saving this country from fiscal annihilation.

I wish Romney would have told him that contrary to his bravado and feats of heroism, this country is a runaway train and is heading toward a washed out bridge around the bend. Who is going to bail this country out when it comes time? Ben Bernanke isn’t going to. The Chinese aren’t going to. There’s no one left. We’re almost broke. Bankrupt! Obama has been the train engineer and hasn’t done anything to slow it down.

Obama constantly harps on Mr. Romney for scuttling companies. How about those GM and Chrysler dealers the Feds closed down. Obama was the executioner.

The picture of Obama as Louis the XIV should be coupled with an image of Michelle Obama as Marie Antoinette.

While the libs think that Obama’s horses and bayonets statement is the “zinger” that will go down in history, I thought it was flippant and insulting. Maybe if the rent-a-cops at the Benghazi consulate had bayonets rather than cell phones and flashlights, they might have been more effective, assuming they didn’t drop them and run away.

If you live in Norfolk, VA and are in the Navy or work for the Navy, you better start looking around for other employment. Forget the coal mines in the southwest of the state, they’ll be looking for work too.

Rove thought the Won was a ‘little pompous’? King Putt is ALL pompous ALL the time. And rude to boot.

I wish I knew how to make videos because I’d take that “The Nation. ME.” clip and turn the ME into WE and morph it into “We The People…” with the preamble in the backgroud. That really sums up the problem with Obama. He just doesn’t get this country.

Near the beginning of the debate Obama said “I, and Americans, took the leadership…”

He added “and Americans” almost as an afterthought. Maybe in his debate prep he was took to be a bit more humble. He seemed to struggle with that.

Ghost#3 Glad we can choose different flavors because I like Rove.

Rove pointed out a couple but Obama really scattered them all over this debate.

Jaynie#13 It would be a perfect ad to morph his ME into WE THE PEOPLE. It would sum up the country’s situation.

On the fun side, a silent video of Obama’s facial expressions. Never have I seen a more ‘I hate you’ expression in someone’s eyes. He was furious. It could have rained up his nose and he smelled something he hated.
