As Soon As I Saw Mr. Obama Turn To Face Romney With That Hard Glare Of Barely Constrained Fury

[Ikonoklast]

over the Benghazi question and Romney's blatant fabrications and politicization of the deaths of our diplomats, I knew right then and there it was all over.

That look could have bored holes through solid granite ten meters thick, and Romney the Smirking Asshole was visibly wilting under it.

Only a fool or an idiot who has lied to and bullied people his entire life and got away with it would think that could actually work with someone far more intelligent than he.



Four More Years.

1. Our President came prepared

He was loaded for bear and hit the motherload. It was a thing of beauty.

[DawgHouse]

2. PBO was correct, it was offensive! n/t

[bullwinkle428]

3. That was personally the most pissed I've ever seen Barack Obama get over anything,

and it couldn't have been more justified given the situation.

[azmom]

42. It's offensive

to anyone who has character. Something that Romney is lacking. You can tell it went over his head because the next thing he did was try to attack PBO about the words used in his rose garden speech.

[JNelson6563]

4. I think Rmoney threw up in his mouth a little.

That asshole.

[speedoo]

10. And shit his magic underpants at the same time.

Which probably is one of the reasons he got out of there so quickly.

[RiffRandell]

34. Lol! n/t

[Bake]

19. Check the video

I think Rmoney wet himself.

25. I would have loved to have known what he was saying to his sons

as he was hauling out of there. It looked like he started talking at the end. They got a shot of him and he looked worked over.

I agree with what was said above, "A thing of beauty". My daughter and I were cheering for our President just like my brother and his cohorts do at a football game. Hubby doesn't do politics unless it's to actually cast a vote. He relies on me for his info.

[hifiguy]

5. It is clear that the President, like those of us here

on DU, flat-out despises Willard. Like us, he can see that this spoiled brat, with all of his feelings of superiority and entitlement, should not be within 100 miles of the White House. He sees that Willard is an empty suit, a serial liar, and a tool who will do anything to plump his resume, including fluffing the most insane elements of his own party.

One can hardly blame the President for loathing this shitheel on sight.

[Mike Daniels]

15. Commentators on post-debate wrap up on MSNBC and Morning Joe re: Romney / Obama

Both talking-heads (perhaps Halperin and Fineman) said yesterday's debate made it obvious that neither candidate holds the other with any respect. It brought to mind the scene from the movie version of "Rob Roy" where the two high lords discuss the upcoming duel between Rob and Archie Cunningham and one says (Paraphrased) - "this duel has little to do with honor. I believe these men hate each other".

Next Monday's final debate should definitely be high intensity as I don't think Romney's done with Libya (since it's still seen as a failure of intelligence/leadership) by the Republicans.

37. Nobody with a brain holds respect for romney and

romney doesn't respect anything but his money.

[luvspeas]

6. Obama is smart enough to never hit anyone...

But he carried more austhority than an actual punch. His eyes glowed with the fury and offense of millions of us standing behind our President. I'm really surprised that Mittens didn't say, "I'm so sorry I offended you and the American people" and then sit down on his barstool like he practised.

[HockeyMom]

7. "Don't make my son's death a campaign issue"

Romney never heard that? He doesn't care about PEOPLE.

[Auntie Bush]

40. He most certainly did hear it! He doesn't care about people or the parents of those murdered men.

If it might help him pry away some Obama votes...he'll use it no matter who it hurts.

[PearliePoo2]

8. He is the epitome of a bully.

I saw him originally smirking and then stuttering when the Prez nailed him. He's not used to it, that's for sure. He's been a bully from an early age.
Just as he was the ring-leader in school gathering a gang to assault and cut the hair of a classmate. He's an asshole.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

22. Romney wants the biggest Bully Pulpit there is. nt

[Qutzupalotl]

9. Last night's debate was payback for that high school student

that Romney pinned down and gave the haircut.

[lunatica]

11. Mitt's not used to being schooled in public

No wonder his face got so mean looking at the end. He's definitely used to doing the schooling with impunity, but being schooled? And in front of millions of Americans? That had to hurt.

[kestrel91316]

14. Mormon bishop, corporate CEO........he is accustomed to being obeyed without question.

And he got schooled by a BLACK MAN. Only thing worse for that prick would be if a woman had done the schooling. Candy did just a tiny bit.

[Bake]

20. The PIC (you know the one) ... looked like Romney just took a shot to the balls.

He brought a knife to a gun fight.

[FirstLight]

12. His VOICE at that moment was what did it for me!

Last edited Wed Oct 17, 2012, 04:51 PM - Edit history (1)

He sounded like a parent who has had enough of their kids' shit...

"...and if you EVER, do that again, I will whupp your ass six ways from Sunday!"

[ncgrits]

26. YAY!!! nt

[speedoo]

13. That was classic "don't fuck with me" glare from Obama.

Stupid fuck Mittens should have known better, but he's spent his entire life being entitled and catered to, so he did not realize he was getting into a street fight, carrying a 2" pen knife, against Obama who was packing two 44 magnums.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. Exactly right.

[porphyrian]

16. . n/t

[hifiguy]

18. It was much like the famous fight scene between Bruce Lee

and Chuck Norris set in the Colosseum. Willard (Norris) got a few licks in, but he was completely outclassed and destroyed by the POTUS (Bruce). Nobody fked with Bruce Lee and no one fks with President Obama.

[bluedeminredstate]

21. Chuck Toad said

that it was obviously rehearsed. He said it twice on his show on MSNBC this morning.

Dick.

[Sekhmets Daughter]

27. The Romney campaign has stated all week they would be attacking on that issue...

I'm sure they rehearsed just how The Prez would respond. I loved it!

[Cha]

36. Little chuckie Toad is Obviously a mediawhore who is so blatantly

bad at his job.

[Island Deac]

23. His Mittship almost

swallowed his "Silver Spoon."

[garthranzz]

24. Romney set himself up, again

When Obama said "proceed, governor," the first time, that was a tip for any competitor - poker, chess, baseball, football - that "I've got your number." Romney is so tone-deaf, so programmed it didn't register. If you noticed him raise his eyebrows at President Obama - that brought the second, "please, proceed" - that gesture is from a superior to an inferior, the "parent" or "boss" catching the employee in a lie. It's a challenge back - "you think you've got this covered? You realize who you're messing with?" That eye-brow raise is a play from arrogance and/or authority - or a confusion of the two.

[hifiguy]

28. That was worthy of The Rock.

[ncgrits]

29. Exactly. And Mitt didn't "get it" because . . .

he has literally NEVER encountered this response before. He is 60 some odd (and I do mean odd) years old and this is probably the FIRST time he has not been the alpha male in the room. . . . Or, more to the point, he always THOUGHT he was the alpha male.

So when the President said bring it on, Mitt didn't get the signal. It didn't even occur to him that he was about to get served. How could he recognize it? He's never been in that position before.

He really isn't regular people.

[complain jane]

30. I was all by myself watching it having dinner and I stood up and applauded :D

He simply owned Romney. Chided him like he was scolding a child. Delivered a knockout punch and did it with streamlined power and grace. I was absolutely floored by that few minutes... and watching Romney's perfectly still, seated silhouette suddenly stripped of all it's arrogant petulance.

It was a thing of beauty! I was SO proud of him and of my country after that moment.

[ashling]

31. could have bored holes through solid granite ten meters thick

almost as thick as Romney's skull

[defacto7]

32. It was over!

That's the last word!!!

The last debate is on foreign policy. Who do you think is going to take the night?

Yeah... it's over.

[Cali_Democrat]

46. I was thinking the same thing

I can see no conceivable way Romney can win the next debate.

[Javaman]

33. Funny you should say that...

more than a few people I have spoken with at work stated the same thing.

Last night my GF told me after the debate, it was at that moment she witnessed the full power of his presidency.

[Cha]

35. Well Stated, Ikonoklast!

[Auntie Bush]

41. Thanks, it's always nice to see the President whop Romney's face again & again.

Wish he could have walked up to him and kicked him in the shins/balls.

[Cha]

44. I think he did, metaphorically.

Enough so that Tagg Romney said he "wanted to take a swing at the president". Oooops.

[WiffenPoof]

38. The Knock Out Punch Indeed...

The question was going around the pundets on what was the high-point of the debate for our President. We just saw it.

[Aviation Pro]

39. Mofo channeled....

....Sam Jack. I half expected him to say, "say 'what' again, motherfucker, I dare you."

[barnabas63]

43. If Obama had given me that look..

...I think I would have saluted him or curled up in a fetal position. he was mma-a-a--a-a-d!

[Whovian]

45. A very loud K&R
