Well, folks, here we have it. It's time we take a break from Guyana politics and focus on America's politics. I must warn you this is not UG with a bunch of one-sided freaks acting like a monkey's prison break. Take lesson how real democracy works. Whether you are Democrats or Republicans, the court of public opinion counts.

Paul Ryan sets a low bar for Mitt Romney first round debate. He said Obama is a master in debate, and he has a lot of experience. That's like giving the first debate to Obama on a silver platter, or could it a political strategy to blind side Obama.

It is politics and both sides will initially downplay the strengths of their Candidates before the debates so that they can rip apart their opponent during the debate.

Obama is strong at debates and might end the Romney campaign after the debates. Romney's future depend on this debate since he is sliding in the polls especially in the swing states like Ohio where he down by almost ten points.

Bring on the debates.

You guys sure ii's the same debate Da REv is going on about? The man said that Obama's no good in debates and he's being left behind.

Gotta be a different story Da REv talking about, either that or he needs stronger meds for whatever ails him.

Remember folks! Romney graduated from Harvard Business with distinction--he was a Baker Scholar. He also graduated from Harvard law cum Laude. Obama on the other hand has chosen to hide his transcripts.

America will for the first time see the brilliant Romney and the hoax Obama on stage together---watch Romney expose the dunceness in Obama.

Obama is a master orator whenever he reads from a teleprompter---but without his beloved teleprompter, Obama fumbles and bumbles---he looks wooden.

ROMNEY, a man of numbers, WILL CONVINCINGLY WIN ALL 3 DEBATES AGAINST OBAMA.

"Obama is a master orator whenever he reads from a teleprompter---but without his beloved teleprompter, Obama fumbles and bumbles---he looks wooden."

You're mistaking Obama for Bush.

Matthews: Mitt Romney's bumbling Libya response shows how 'desperate' he is

By Aliyah Shahid

Wed Sep 12, 2012 5:57 PM EDT

In Chris Matthews's view, Mitt Romney's bumbling response to the crisis in Libya showed just how "desperate" the former Massachusetts governor is to "secure political advantage."

The Republican presidential nominee was skewered by the Hardball host for jumping the gun in his reaction to the attacks, in which the U.S. ambassador to Libya was killed amid riots over a YouTube clip that mocked Islam's Prophet Mohammad.

As the film, reportedly made by an Israeli-American living in California, began fueling outrage throughout the Arab world on Tuesday, the U.S. embassy in Cairo put out a statement—not cleared by Washington—condemning the "continuing efforts by misguided individuals" to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims.

Romney's campaign issued a statement Tuesday night calling it "disgraceful that the Obama Administration's first response was not to condemn attacks on our diplomatic missions, but to sympathize with those who waged the attacks."

But Romney was wrong. The embassy's statement had come at a time when no embassies had yet been attacked. Only after that statement was released did rioters storm the U.S. Embassy in both Benghazi, Libya, and Cairo, Egypt.

Several hours later, news broke that Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans had been killed in the attacks.

Romney then held a press event Wednesday morning doubling down on his factually-challenged criticism of the president.

The Huffington Post's Howard Fineman agreed with Matthews. "He got the facts wrong," Fineman said. Romney got "discredited for having jumped in too fast and he doesn't' have the friends in politics to defend him."

High-profile Republicans like John McCain and others in the GOP establishment have not defended Romney. Time's Mark Halperin, who earlier in the day called the Republican's actions "craven and ill-advised," said on Hardball that "if [Romney] has good points to make about how this shows a failure of the president's leadership, let him make it in a day or two, not when [the country] is in the midst of a crisis, when the country should be coming together to address a still volatile situation."

President Obama told CBS on Wednesday that Romney's response exemplifies his "tendency to shoot first and aim later." When asked if he felt Romney's actions were irresponsible, Obama responded: "I'll let the American people judge that."

Al-qaeda attacked America on 9/11/12 and killed 4 Americans including the American ambassador to Libya--but yet the American media would have gullible folks like you believe it was Romney's fault.

THANK GOD 65% OF WHITE AMERICANS KNOW THAT OBAMA AND THE MEDIA ARE LYING!

Anyway, the Rev expects Romney to hammer Obama during the debates---he should tell the American people that America's first muslim born black marxist president is a colossal failure.

IT IS TIME FOR A NEW PRESIDENT---A WHITE PRESIDENT---UNDER THE BLACK PRESIDENT AMERICA HAS BECOME A PUNCHING BAG--A LAUGHING STOCK.

BLA BLA BLA BLA

It's you who feel that way, that report says nothing of the sort...again you lie.

"He got the facts wrong," Fineman said. Romney got "discredited for having jumped in too fast and he doesn't' have the friends in politics to defend him."

Oh yes he has friends who can defend him, he's got Dalyin Revsta in his corner wearing a nice well fitting pointed dunce cap.
