10 Reasons Why Barack Obama Fumbled The Presidential Debate

Barack Obama

Before yesterday’s presidential debate between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney, Obama was generally favored to perform better than his challenger.  However, once the debates got under way, it was Barack Obama who appeared unprepared, uninspired, and very unteleprompted, while Mitt Romney seemed more confident, assertive and eloquent, as if his debate performance had been sponsored by Red Bull campaign donation.  So here are 10 reason why Barack Obama did not do as well as expected in the debate.

1)  Obama was demoralized and thrown off-balance when Romney managed not to make a single gaffe in the first 30 seconds of the debate.

2)  Mitt Romney’s masterful strategy of agreeing with Obama on taxes for the rich, regulation and parts of Obamacare, forced Obama to debate his own position.

3)  Many all-night parties dedicated to pre-celebrating the upcoming re-election victory had taken its toll on the president.

4)  That’s what happens when you are texting while debating.

5)  Barack Obama did not feel comfortable taking credit for the Obamacare when the real author of the law was standing right next to him.

6)  Obama’s day job had interfered with his debate preparation.

7)  Obama’s occasional attempts to remember and deliver actual facts had hampered his performance, while Mitt Romney had deftly avoided the fact trap.

8)  Mitt Romney had no choice but to do well, because his church had threatened to excommunicate him if he failed.

9)  Worried that Obama’s flag pin might fall off during the debate, his aides had screwed it on so tight that it slowed the flow of oxygen to the president’s brain.

10)  Obama was counting on having Romney debate an empty chair, but the chair had cancelled at the last moment.

10 Arguments In The Future Political Debates

Dramatization of the unmoderated 2044 presidential debates.  Image source: city-connect.org

It seems that the level of intelligence in the political debate is deteriorating every year.  If this tendency continues, the quality and substance of the debate will probably degenerate to the level of elementary school playground squabble.  We are not quite there yet, but signs of childish name calling are getting unmistakably clearer by the year.  So, in the anticipation of the Obama/Romney debates on October 3, we can try to imagine how the arguments in the presidential debates will look like in just a few years:

1)  Can you please briefly outline your job creation record?  “I created jobs.”  “Well, I created lots of jobs!”  “I created more jobs than you!” “No, I created more jobs than you!”  “I created so many jobs that I had to hire other people to create jobs for me!”

2)  Both of you have called your opponent out of touch.  Can you please elaborate on that?  “He is out of touch.”  “No, you are out of touch!” “No, you are out of touch!”  “You are far more out of touch!” “You are so far out of touch you don’t even know what out of touch means!” “Well, you are so far more out of touch that you can’t touch your own elbow with your tongue!”  “So what, when I am President I will hire other people to touch my elbow with their tongues!”

3)  In your opinion, how important is freedom?  I love freedom!  “I love freedom more!” “No, I love freedom more!” “I love freedom so much that I even give flowers to freedom!” “And I love freedom so much I just want to hug it and kiss it!”  “Hey, you can’t be kissing my freedom!  If I ever see you touching my freedom again I will kick your ass!”

4)  What do you think the optimal size of the government should be?  “I will cut the government.”  “I will cut the government more!”  “No, I will cut the government more than you!”  “Well, I cut the government so deep, that I will be the only one running everything and there will be no one left in the government except for me!”  “Well, I will cut the government more!”  “How are you ever going to cut it even more if there is only the president left in it??”  “I am going to pay people to not work in the government!  And I will cut you too if you go near my freedom!”

5)  What will be your proposal on lowering the crime rate?  “l will be tough on crime.”  “No, I will be tough on crime!”  “I will be so tough on crime I will give death penalty to all murderers!”  “Well, I will be more tougher and will give death penalty to all criminals!”  “Well, I will be even more tougherer and will give death penalty to everyone, and if I see you go near my freedom, I’ll give you the death penalty too!”

6)  What do you think of global warming?  “Huh?”  “What?”  “Dude, next question!”

7)  Do you think civility is important  in the political debate?  “Yeah, so I’m civil.” “Well, I am civil more!”  “I am more civil than you!”  “No, I am way more civil than you!”  Well, my butt is more civil than you!”  “Hey, dude, pull your pants up, I don’t wanna look at your ass!”  “See, you’re less civil than my ass, cause you don’t wanna talk to my butt, and my butt is so civil it says ‘Hello’ to you!”  “Dude!!!”

8)  How would you ensure government transparency?  “I will  make government transparent!”  “I will make government even more transparent!”  “Well, I will make everyone work in the X-Ray machine so that every government employee is transparent!”  “And I won’t hide anything from the American people!  Nothing at all, check this out!”  “Hey, dude, pull your pants up, I don’t wanna look at your ass!!!”

9)  Both of you have called out your opponent for not caring about the poor.  Would you care to comment?  “I care about poor!”  “No you don’t!”  “Do too!”  “Do not!”  “I do, and when I see a poor person, I always tell them to get a job! Now you don’t care!”  “I so care!  I throw my garbage out to the street so that the poor can look for stuff to eat!”

10)  What is your plan for health care reform?  “I think people should just stop getting sick.”  “Yeah, I agree, I’m sick of people getting sick all the time!”   “Hey, why the hell did you agree with me? You’re not supposed to agree with people in debates!”  “You know, I am sick of you telling me what I should do!”  “If you’re so sick of me, maybe you should just die, cause you’re gonna see me a lot when I am president!  Oh yeah, I think that will be my health care plan.”

Let’s just hope that the actual debates on Wednesday will differ from my prediction.

10 Reactions To Mitt Romney’s 47% Video

Voter Registration

Ok, so it was 99% percent, now minus 47%, times 35% tax rate, minus 8% unemployment, divide $16 trillion national debt by that.. Carry the two… I HATE MATH!!!!  Screw it, voting for whoever’s name is first on the ballot! (Photo credit: YN Play City)

This week, an undercover video made in May at one of Mitt Romney’s $50,000-a-plate fundraisers had gone viral. In a video, Mitt Romney had talked about the 47% percent who pay no income taxes, live off the government handouts, avoid personal responsibility, have victim mentality and will vote for Obama no matter what. Mitt Romney also called just the 5%-10% independent voters thoughtful, essentially calling the remaining 90% to 95% of Americans dumb.  Here are 10 of the reactions to the video.

1)  David Axelrod: That was by far the best $50K ever spent by the Obama campaign.

2)  R. Bradford Malt, Mitt Romney’s financial trustee: To tell you the truth, Mitt Romney is only beating up on the 47% who pay no income tax because the IRS won’t let him join them.

3)  Gallup: According to our most recent poll, Obama’s approval rating stands at 52% among the adult population. This indicates that the nation’s current moocher ratio stands at 52%.

4)  Conservative pundits concerned with winning the election: Psssst…Mitt… ix-nay on the 7%-4ay, man…

5)  Conservative pundits not really concerned with winning the election: You go Mitt! Tell it like it is! And don’t ignore Obama’s birth certificate! And make this election about Jeremiah Wright!!!

6)  Mary Schapiro, Chairman of Securities and Exchange Commission: In light of Mitt Romney’s recent behavior inconsistent with that of a serious presidential candidate, and combined with the recent news that his campaign is in debt while possibly overstating its assets, we are opening an investigation of the Mitt Romney’s election campaign as a possible Ponzi scheme.

7)  Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney’s running mate: No, Mitt Romney did not say anything like that! Absolutely not! What video? There were no video. And that’s the truth! Have I ever lied to you? But let’s talk about the real issues: while you are making a fuss about some imaginary videos, Obama is planning to sell your firstborn sons to China!

8)  Rick Salomon, CEO of CelebritySexTapes.com: Initially we were very excited when we heard a rumor of a potential Mitt Romney’s sex tape and were ready to offer a lot of money for it. But we kind of lost interest when we actually watched the video and saw that the only person Romney is screwing in the video is Mitt Romney himself.

9)  Terry Bob Hart, President of NAAWT (National Association for the Advancement of White Trash): Even though our entire trailer park is too poor to pay income tax, by voting for Mitt Romney we will show everyone that we are not lazy bums and freeloaders! Of course, we hope that our government checks won’t be late so we could buy gas to drive to the polling station.

10)  Mitt Romney: That was an old video, and my views have evolved 180 degrees since then. I no longer believe that 47% of Americans are freeloaders. My position is totally opposite to what I had said before, and I am now convinced that 53% are freeloaders.

Conservative pundits concerned with winning the election but kind of losing hope: Damnit…

10 Promises In Mitt Romney’s Election Platform

Mitt Romney Steve Pearce event 068

In the last few days Mitt Romney has been taking a beating from the media on his comments about Libya, Egypt, and “the 47 percent”. In order to save his campaign after a series of setbacks, he would have to reinvent himself as a candidate. And the best way for Mitt Romney to reposition himself as a leader would be to finally unveil his full election program, instead of the “Obama has failed” short version he is running on now.  So here are 10 promises in Mitt Romney’s full election platform.

1)  Mitt Romney will lower taxes on all Americans. Instead, the Americans will be required to pay government management fees.

2)  Mitt Romney will expand the safety nets for the poor. To be more specific, he will expand the safety net so that the holes in the net become much bigger.

3)  Mitt Romney will make it easier for American students to pay for college education. Because Mitt Romney himself had to deal with the high cost of college and had to sell some of his stocks to pay tuition, he will remove all capital gains taxes on all stock sales.

4)  Mitt Romney will continue the popular policy of his predecessor of blaming his predecessor for the current economic problems.

5)  In contrast to Barack Obama’s statement that Egypt is neither an ally nor an enemy, Mitt Romney has a well-defined position stating that Egypt is both an ally and an enemy.

6)  Mitt Romney promises that he will not flip-flop any longer. He will use the expression “my views have evolved” from now on.

7)  Mitt Romney will no longer apologize for America. If ever in the future Mitt Romney’s administration is questioned about an incident that America isn’t particularly proud of, such as Abu Ghraib, slavery, or Hiroshima, Mitt Romney will respond that America does not recall such an incident.

8)  Mitt Romney will reform the entitlement system, so that only those deserving the entitlements would receive them, and not those 47% lazy moochers and welfare queens who pay zero income tax.

9)  To solve the illegal immigration crisis, Mitt Romney will encourage all illegal aliens to self-deport. Mitt Romney will attain that goal by running the USA in such a way that no immigrant would ever want to live here.

10)  Finally, Mitt Romney promises that if he is elected, American economy will begin adding 1,000,000 jobs a month, unemployment will drop to -0.001%, and pigs will fly.

Please support Mitt Romney presidential campaign by purchasing a “Romney/Ryan 2012” yacht or airplane bumper sticker! We also accept donations of large sacks of money containing unmarked non-sequentially numbered banknotes!

10 Things To Expect During The GOP Convention In Tampa

English: Hurricane Isaac

Tropical storm Isaac was the only featured speaker at the GOP convention on Monday (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

The 2012 Republican National Convention had formally began on Monday in Tampa, Florida.  The convention schedule had been cut short due to the tropical storm Isaac, but the convention is expected to begin in full force on Tuesday.  Here are 10 things we should expect from the Republican Party convention.

1)  The GOP delegates will try to wrap up the process of Mitt Romney’s nomination as the official party candidate as soon as possible, so that they have to fake the excitement about Romney for one day less.

2)  Top Republican expert on rape Todd Akin will try to give a legitimate speech, while the party would try to find the ways to shut this thing down.

3)  Since the convention program had been cut short, Paul Ryan will distribute GOP Convention Vouchers instead of the actual speaking slots.

4)  Sara Palin, who was not invited to Tampa, will try to sneak into the convention center dressed as a mama grizzly.

5)  Reince Preibus, the Chairman of the Republican National Committee, will blame Barack Obama for the hurricane and extreme partisanship: while half the country is suffering from drought, Barack Obama chose to direct a tropical storm on GOP convention.

6)  Mitt Romney will give a program speech on Obamacare titled: “Mr. President, I did build that!”

7)  The GOP will make abortion ban a centerpiece of the party program and will officially ban the party members from discussing the abortion ban in public.

8)  99% of delegates at the convention will mention at least one of the following words in their speech: “Reagan”, “freedom”, or “tax cuts”.

9)  99% of the delegates at the convention will not mention any of the following words in their speeches: “bin Laden”, “legitimate”, or “tax returns”.

10)  The convention will features a large clock showing the current national debt.  The clock will not show which percentage of the debt had been voted for by the Republican majority and/or signed by a Republican president.

3759: Mayan Calendar

According to Fox News, if Barack Obama is re-elected, the end of the world which was predicted by Mayans to take place on December 21, 2012, will actually happen on the Inauguration Date January 20, 2013.  Still, it’s pretty impressive of Mayan that centuries ago they were able to foresee the day of the 2013 inauguration with less than a month error.

Earlier this week, county Judge Tom Head, of Lubbock county, Texas, gave an interview where he described the doomsday scenario that would befall the country if Barack Obama is re-elected.  According to Judge Head, Barack Obama will hand over the sovereignty of the country to the United Nations, causing a civil war in the US followed by an invasion by the UN forces.  However, to reassure the Americans, Judge Head had promised to repel the UN invasion of the homeland by personally stepping in front of UN’s armored personnel carriers.  Even though Judge Head had later clarified that he was talking about a worst-case scenarios, he had been branded a lunatic, just because the idea of a civil war/UN invasion seems so unrealistic.  However, this does not mean that we will be in the clear: here are 10 other scary consequences that could more realistically follow Barack Obama’s successful reelection.

1)  Judge Head and many of his supporters will suspect any armored personnel carrier or tank on a road to be a part of a covert UN invasion, and will begin jumping in front of every APC or tank they see.  As the number of such incidents involving US military vehicles will rise, the US military will be forced to equip each American tank or carrier by a set of outside airbags to avoid killing these brave patriots by accident.  Burdened by these airbags which limit the tanks’ visibility and maneuverability, American fighting vehicles will no longer pose a threat to the ground forces of other countries, and America will lose its status as the top military power.

2)  Rush Limbaugh will be so infuriated by the election outcome, and will spit so much into his microphone, that his excess saliva will short the electric circuit in his radio headquarters in Florida, causing large parts of Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana to lose electricity for weeks.

3)  Every gun and every box of ammunition will be immediately swept off the shelf in every American gun shop by the gun owners worried that Obama will take away their guns.  The resulting severe weapon and ammo shortages will nearly cut off the gun trafficking into Mexico.  Left without sufficient firepower, Mexican narco-cartels will no longer have the muscle to fight both the Mexican army and each other.  To survive, the cartels will have no choice but to join their forces into one mega-narco-cartel that will easily take control of the entire country.

4)  Millions of angry Tea Partiers will buy tons of reams of paper and thousands of boxes of markers to make millions of protest signs.  Shortages of paper supplies will immediately  paralyze such crucial and paper-intensive industries such as law firms, newspapers, and junk mail distribution.  Paper prices will rise, sending the Staples stock price through the roof, and Mitt Romney will take a lot of credit for that, too.

5)  Speaking of Mitt Romney… He will have to continue paying the sky-high %14 rate on his taxes, and because he can’t afford paying so much in taxes, and was unable to land a job at the White House, he will file for unemployment benefits.  Government subsidies to Mitt, his wife, their five sons, and their dressage horse, necessary to support their prior standard of living, will explode the federal deficit.

6)  Alabama, Lousiana, and Mississippi will decide to secede from the Union in dissent.  However, without any paper to write a letter on, and without the electricity to make a phone call or send an e-mail, they will not be able to notify the White House of their secession.  They will be forced to remain in the USA and will continue to drag the country down with them.

7)  Obamacare will not be repealed.  American population, unable to avoid the mandatory  health insurance, will become healthier and live longer.  The increase longevity of Americans will deplete the Social Security fund decades earlier than anyone had expected.  The Social Security benefits will have to be drastically reduced, and millions of healthy American seniors will die of starvation.

8)  Hundreds of thousands of conservatives will move to Canada in protest.  They will resume their holy war against abortion, gays, and government regulations on the Canadian soil, causing millions of distressed Canadians to seek shelter in the USA shortly thereafter.  This enormous southward migration will cause overpopulation in the US while many Canadian towns and cities will become abandoned.

9)  Billions of furious and elated posts on Facebook and Twitter will overload the servers of these companies, and these services will come offline for days for maintenance.  Without these social networks, democratic opposition forces in Syria, Russia, and China will not be able to organize any actions against the tyrants and dictators, and arrival of real democracy to those countries will be set back by at least 20 years.

10)  As a result of the server shutdown, Facebook share price will drop to nearly zero, and in a desperate effort to raise some quick revenue, Facebook will sell all your private photos to the highest bidder.

Don’t forget to predict your own worst-case scenario.  Because Obama is currently leading in the polls, we need to be prepared for the worst.

10 Reasons Why Mitt Romney Picked Paul Ryan As His Vice-Presidential Running Mate

Proposed bumper sticker for the Romney/Ryan campaign, intended to double the strength of the Romney campaign message.

Last week, Mitt Romney selected Paul Ryan as his running mate on his election ticket. Given Mitt Romney’s tendency to backtrack and change his mind, I have, of course, given him some time to rethink his choice. But since after a week it has became clear that Mitt Romney is not flip-flopping on that particular issue (yet), here are 10 reasons why Mitt Romney had chosen Paul Ryan as his running mate.

1)  Since Mitt Romney’s business experience is starting to become more of a problem than a blessing, Romney wanted a VP candidate without any business experience.

2)  Paul Ryan’s tax plan, combined with Mitt Romney’s own tax plan, could cut Mitt Romney’s tax rate to below zero.

3)  With Mitt Romney’s tendency to control everything, he wanted his presidential ticket to be in neat alphabetical order.

4)  He wanted to pick a VP who would be able to energize the Republican party base more effectively than Mitt Romney himself. However, that only narrowed the field of potential VP candidates to everyone in Republican Party except for Mitt himself.

5)  Because of the sheer genius of Paul Ryan’s Medicare plan, which would give the seniors less money than they would need to pay for healthcare so that they die faster, thus lowering federal spending on both Medicare AND Social Security!

6)  Since Willard Mitt Romney has no conventional first name, he had decided to choose a guy with two such names to balance the ticket.

7)  Mitt Romney understands the importance of women as a crucial voter demographic, and wanted to attract women’s vote by picking a running mate who looks good without a shirt on.

8) Mitt Romney did not select the Ohio Senator Bob Portman, as many experts have predicted, because he did not want to have to answer questions whether he could get Natalie Portman’s autographs.  The choice had still seemed tempting for a while, though, since Mitt Romney would rather get Natalie Portman’s autographs than his tax returns.

9)  Dick Cheney was taken out of consideration, since now that he has a new heart, he could go soft on some of Mitt’s economic policies, assuming Mitt Romney ever comes up with any.

10)  And finally, a quick rundown on few others whose names came up in discussion of potential running mates: Not Marco Rubio: Mitt Romney already has a gardener with that name. Not Tim Pawlenty: he’s the only one in the party who is less exciting than Mitt Romney. And Not Sara Palin. Oh God… NOT Sara Palin!

10 Reminders From Mitt Romney’s Overseas Trip Planner

Mitt Romney is using camouflage to hide from the media. (Source: Bloomberg.com)

Earlier this week, Mitt Romney went on a overseas trip, visiting England, Israel, and Poland.  This travel was meant to help burnish Mitt Romney foreign policy credentials, as well as help him avoid the American media for a few days.   And since Mitt Romney is not prone to acting in the spur of the moment, the agenda of the trip had been planned in advance and written out in his trip planner.  Here are 10 of the reminders Mitt Romney had wrote in his travel planner before the trip.

1)  In all counties:  Try to find additional countries where I could hide my money from the taxes.

2)  Once off the airplane:  Don’t forget to unstrap the family horse from the top of the airplane before sending it to the Olympic dressage competition.  And don’t forget to strap a human to the top of the horse.

3)  In England:  Find out if the Queen is planning to run for re-election anytime soon, and run a few hundred negative ads against her just to test the waters.  If all goes well, form a “Great Mitten For Great Britain” SuperPAC.

4)  In England:  Remember to criticize the organizers of London Olympics for less than stellar event planning.  When I ran the Olympics 10 years ago, the Olympics were perfect, but these incompetent dimwits had not even bothered to prepare any snow!

5)  In Israel:  Remember to criticize the organizers of Jesus’ crucifixion.  This could have been done faster, cheaper, and more efficiently.

6)  In Israel:  While pretending to be inserting a prayer note into a crack of the Western Wall, try to hide into these cracks as many of my tax returns as possible.

7)  In Israel:  Promise Israelis that my administration will move the American Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.  (Research whether moving it to Taiwan or China would be more cost-effective.)

8)  In Poland:  buy new nail Polish for Ann, since she was not happy with her nail Vietnamese.

9)  In Poland:  Pay respects at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier by having press secretary yell “Kiss my ass!” and “Shove it!” to reporters.

10)  In Poland:  Buy a house from which I could see Russia.

11)  In all countries:  Avoid gaffes or generally saying any stupid or out-of-touch things.

10 Reasons Why Mitt Romney Is Not Releasing His Tax Returns

Mitt Romney in 2007 in Washington, DC at the V...

“Read my lips: no new taxes… er, tax returns!”  (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Traditionally, presidential candidates release their tax returns before the election.  Mitt Romney has followed this tradition by releasing his tax returns for 1 (one) year, and a projected return for 2011.  After last week’s discovery by the Boston Globe that Mitt Romney had signed SEC filings as the CEO of the Bain Capital for a few more years after his 1999 retirement, even some conservatives have called on Mitt Romney to release the additional tax returns, yet Romney’s campaign has refused to release additional returns.  Here are 10 reasons why Mitt Romney refuses to release additional tax returns.

1)  According to the official statement from the Romney campaign, Mitt Romney’s dog ate his tax returns as an act of revenge for the car roof ride.

2)  Mitt Romney does not want to confuse the voters because most of his tax returns are in German as required by the Swiss law.

3)  According to the unreleased tax returns, Mitt Romney not only continues to manage Bain Capital, but is also a socialist Muslim born in Kenya.

4)  Because Mitt Romney is paying an effective tax rate of 14%, he thought it would be fair to release just 14% of his latest tax returns.

5)  Mitt Romney had made only $100,000 a year before 2010 and does not want to be ridiculed as “poor” by his billionaire friends.

6)  He does not want to reveal that he was receiving food stamps by claiming himself as unemployed.

7)  Mitt Romney had filed his tax returns years ago, but he had changed his position and no longer agrees with them.

8)  He does not want to disclose $100M in charitable donations to his favorite charity, the Mitt Romney’s Tax Shelter For The Disadvantaged Millions.

9)  He already disclosed the bare minimum he needed, because he plans to do just the bare minimum of work when he becomes president

10)  Mitt Romney had itemized the dog’s rooftop cage as a business relocation expense and claimed his dog as a dependant.

Finally, Mitt Romney does not want to disclose any additional reasons why he does not want to disclose his tax returns.
