Obama: Critic-in-chief

“President Barack Obama has a new critic of his debate performance — himself,” AP writes. “Speaking at a celebrity-led fundraiser at the Nokia Theatre, Obama came on stage after performances by such singers as Katy Perry, Jon Bon Jovi and Stevie Wonder and remarks by actor George Clooney. He marveled at how they are able to perform flawlessly night after night and then said, quote, ‘I can't always say the same.’”

“Aides to President Obama said on Sunday that Obama was disappointed by his own performance at last week’s debate with Republican challenger Mitt Romney in Denver,” the Boston Globe writes.

Robert Gibbs: “I think the president understood that he hadn’t performed up to his own expectations pretty quickly after he got off the stage that night.” He added: “Now that Barack Obama has had the opportunity to meet both Mitt Romneys, I don’t doubt that he’ll make some adjustments.”

David Axelrod: “The president is his harshest critic. And without getting into detail, I think you can assume that he has reviewed the tape, and it will inform how he handles these subsequent debates.”

USA Today: “It sounds like President Obama and his team will maintain their aggressive post-debate attacks on Mitt Romney, both about Romney's policies and the debate itself.”

“U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens wanted a Security Support Team, made up of 16 special operations soldiers, to stay with him in Libya after their deployment was scheduled to end in August,” ABC reports.

The same head of security told CBS the same thing. “Lt. Col. Andy Wood will appear this week at a House Oversight Committee hearing that will examine security decisions leading up to the Sept. 11 terrorist attack on the U.S. compound in Benghazi.” He said, “when he found out that his own 16-member team and a six-member State Department elite force were being pulled from Tripoli in August - about a month before the assault in Benghazi - he felt, ‘like we were being asked to play the piano with two fingers. There was concern amongst the entire embassy staff.’”

I sure hope he impressed Clooney and folks...because they are CERTAINLY in touch with middle class America. I hope Clooney takes obama in after he has to move out of the White House shortly.

Tells us a lot about you republicans. Even after the debate and you're still sounding desperate. You must have realized the debate wasn't as big a win as you were lead to believe. You see lies don't sell and that's all Willard did "lie".

Do you mean like Ted Nugent and Clint Eastwood are in touch with middle class America?

Reasons to fear Willard Romney.

Do want a person who believes he is God to be President.

Williard believes when he dies, because he is a baptized Mormon
he will become a God! So no matter what he does or says he will simply have to
say he is sorry to God when he dies to become a God.

Willard Believes Jesus and Satan are spirit brothers and we
were all born as siblings in heaven to them both, (Mormon Doctrine, p. 163).

God used to be a man on another planet, (Mormon Doctrine, p.
321)"God himself was once as we are now, and is an exalted man, and sits
enthroned in yonder heavens!!!

God resides near a star called Kolob, (Pearl of Great Price,
p. 34-35; Mormon Doctrine, p. 428)

After you become a good Mormon, you have the potential of
becoming a god, (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 345-347, 354.)Then
shall they be gods, because they have all power, and the angels are subject
unto them," (D&C 132:20).

There are many gods, (Mormon Doctrine, p. 163).

God is married to his goddess wife and has spirit
children.(Mormon Doctrine, p. 516).

Jesus' sacrifice was not able to cleanse us from all our
sins, (murder and repeated adultery are exceptions), (Journal of Discourses,
vol. 3, 1856, p. 247).

"ChristNot Begotten of Holy Ghost ...Christ was
begotten of God. He was not born without the aid of Man, and that Man was
God!" (Doctrines of Salvation, by Joseph Smith, 1954, 1:18).

If it had not been for Joseph Smith and the restoration,
there would be no salvation (Mormon Doctrine, p. 670).

"One of the most fallacious doctrines originated by
Satan and propounded by man is that man is saved alone by the grace of
God;(Miracle of Forgiveness p. 206).

Jesus' sacrifice was not able to cleanse us from all our
sins, (murder and repeated adultery are exceptions), (Journal of Discourses,
vol. 3, 1856, p. 247).

There is no salvation without accepting Joseph Smith as a
prophet of God (Doctrines of Salvation, vol. 1, p. 188

"As these sins are the result of individual acts it is
just that forgiveness for them should be conditioned on individual compliance
with prescribed requirements 'obedience to the laws and ordinances of the
Gospel,'" (Articles of Faith, p.79). Another words Man forgives you.

"Many men say there is one God; the Father, the Son and
the Holy Ghost are only one God. I say that is a strange God [anyhow]--three in
one and one in three. . .It is curious organization… All are crammed into one
God according to sectarianism (Christian faith). It would make the biggest God
in all the world. He would be a wonderfully big God--he would be a giant or a
monster," (Joseph Smith, Teachings, p. 372).

Do want a person who believes he is God to be President.

obama's apologists think foreign policy is his strong suit? chris stevens' parents sure don't think so. obama has no clue about the dangers americans face, the hate of the muslim fundamentalists. all those hollywood airheads love obama so much, wonder if they would take an ambassadorship to pakistan if he asked?

      President Obama knew the jobs numbers even before the debate started. He knew he could phone that one in and still come out ahead by the end of the week. Just what happened too.
