Mitt Romney to 'fact check' Obama in debate
Source: Politico
Mitt Romney plans to turn himself into a one-man truth squad during the first presidential debate next week, casting President Barack Obama as someone who cant be trusted to stick to the facts or keep his promises. ...
Romney himself was the first to signal the strategy.
I think hes going to say a lot of things that arent accurate, Romney said on ABCs Good Morning America earlier this month, adding he would have to choose between correcting Obama and delivering his own message.
Id be tempted to go back to that wonderful line by Ronald Reagan, There you go again, Romney said.

(51,284 posts)this disaster calling himself a truth squad 'factchecker'? He, as a person is a true commentary on how self-deluded one rich individual blinded by their being omniscient, he does have a planet waiting for him to govern, can be. God this is a sick, sick indivdual with no moral or integral center to his being. Money is his god.
Money is his god, he is a mormon.

(6,286 posts)or Obama will deliver a surgical beatdown worthy of Dempsey/Willard.
See, the problem with Romney is that no one thinks there's any "there" there. And if he continues to focus on Obama, people will still only see Romney out of their peripheral vision. And that's not good for a candidate trailing by a healthy margin.
Obama will be speaking TO the people and Romney will be talking ABOUT Obama.

(157 posts)the other person is going to talk about. That way he can claim the credit or he can say he forced the other person to talk about it. For instance, look how he said he made President Obama take a stand to China. Truth is Romney had inside info that President Obama was going to address the issues about China. As soon as he found this out, he started raising hell and criticizing President Obama for not doing anything about China. Thereby, making it appear he had forced President Obama to take a stand against China.
Romney is the kind of "boss man" that takes credit for other people's work.

(7,403 posts)Obama charges Romney with not providing the details that would allow a new round of tax cuts while also bringing down the national deficit. Romney then shows how Obama has his facts wrong by repeating what Romney spokeswoman Tara Wall said: "the campaign has laid out a number of specifics relative to the principles that will guide the policies of a Romney-Ryan ticket".
So, there you have it. Romney just showed Obama how wrong he is and in front of a national audience. Obama is seen shaking in his boots as he senses that Romney is connecting with the American people. Yeah, right.

(28,941 posts)However, given how well your campaign has gone so far, probably doesn't matter. SNAFU turning into FUBAR.
Here's my thinking.
Car battery, electrodes attached to testicles for both candidates, and fact checkers in house controlling the current.
We will see at the end of the debate who is telling the truth. My guess is that Mitt would be able to power light bulbs like Uncle Fester.

(11,916 posts)Romney's going to keep Pres. Obama from getting his message across by lying and forcing the Pres to counter.
I figured as much several weeks ago. Now it's supported by the jerk himself. since they ALWAYS project.
