Photo: President Obama and First
Lady appear stunned after first debate

Washington Examiner, by Charlie Spiering

Original Article

Posted By:KarenJ1, 10/4/2012 12:54:51 PM

This photo from the Associated Press illustrates how the first presidential debate went. President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama appear a bit overwhelmed as they look for an exit off the stage. Mitt Romney, however, smiles as he collects his notes from the podium

Comments:
This is the entire article with photo. Mooch's face is absolutely priceless! You think her scowl is usually bad, this one is even worse. I'm sure they had a really happy anniversary. s/o You have to imagine little Barry was in a horrible mood the rest of the night.

What a stunningly telling photo!

As a terminally amateur photographer, I can say any photographer would be thrilled with such a shot.

When you live your life in the protected Affirmative Action Bubble, you may think that all white people will show deference for your color and 'your struggle'.

Mitt treated Obama not like a 'black man' or the "First Black President", but like an equal American man. I'm sure this is the first time he has been tested in a real life scenario. Ever.

You can run all the worshipful articles you want, about how "toned' her arms are, or what a beautiful woman she is, how awesome her fashion sense is. Show us a picture of her in a $600 designer sweater, wearing brand new gardening gloves, standing in front of her "White House Garden" and holding a bunch of carrots etc., etc., until we all retch.

But, the plain fact is that this is one ugly woman, with a whole range of angry, mean, and ugly expressions that accentuate that ugliness into downright nasty.

And they all came out last night.

Happy Anniversary, you two lovebirds.

This picture is THE classic photo of this campaign. In future years, it will be known as the moment when the incumbent President and his wife realized it was over.

Perhaps John Hinderaker, over at Power Line, described it best: "This photo pretty much says it all: Barack and Michelle Obama looking lost and forlorn, while a smiling, confident Mitt Romney collects his notes from the podium."

The squatters "lost and forlorn;" President Romney "smiling, confident." How sweet it is!

P.S. Don't blame Mitt Romney for spoiling your 20th anniversary, bozo! You brought this on yourself.

I can't tell you how many photos of the First Scold I've seen, where, even with her faux smile, you cover her big mouth and the eyes tell a different story. The eyes are cold and bitter. Guess that's what happens when you're an angry black woman. Everyone can see it.
As for her statement of never having been proud of her country until B. Hussein got his gig, I have never been proud of the fact that she's the first lady. She's been a constant embarrassment to this country. And she doesn't care, which makes her more loathsome.

As I've so humbly posted on various treads before I'm am sick to death about how the MSM fawns over our presidential "couple". Moochelle isn't a beauty with good fashoin sense. All I'll say about her is that she an angry, scowling hot mess. She looked like she wanted to go over to the governor and slug him one. Odummber was so stunned that he forgot his notes after he got schooled. Romney on the other hand not only didn't forget his notes (executives always clear the podium when they're done) but he had that look like he just knew that he cleaned Obowma's clock. The townhall format for the next debate will be interesting to watch as the Odummer campaign thinks that they will trip up Romney. If they think that they are in for another surprise.

At a Democratic National Committee fund raising event in Atherton, California Thursday morning, President Obama declared that the United States government still needs to get its fiscal house in order: We still waste money in all kinds of things that don´t work, and we have the capacity to shift those dollars into things that do work and that will grow our economy. And we can reduce our deficit, stabilize our debt, and do so without sacrificing the kinds of investments that are going to be required to grow. During his remarks, the president spoke of the

One of the first political issues negotiators must tackle in crafting an immigration reform bill is among the most important: what to name it. It’s a decision that will bruise egos, create legacies and deeply affect subsequent messaging battles. “Every time the bill is mentioned in the press, you either have a brand that´s positive or a brand that doesn´t mean anything or even hurts you,” said Frank Sharry, the executive director of the pro-immigration reform group America’s Voice. The wrong name, he warned, could doom a good bill. “If there´s not a

President Obama is eager to build public support for his health care overhaul in the few months remaining before its implementation, but waning enthusiasm from Democrats threatens his effort right out of the gate. Two-thirds of Democrats now believe Obama´s health care reforms will either hurt them personally or have no effect on their daily lives, a Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday shows. In comparison, just 27 percent of Democratic respondents said the reforms would help them. The president has long struggled to convince independent and Republican-leaning voters that his health care blueprint would lower premiums and expand insurance coverage.

They´re starting to grow out, get a little irritating.´ Still, she hasn´t let her hairdo woes get her down. ´It´s okay,´ she said after her initial complaint. ´We´ll be good.´ The first indication that her hairstyle was becoming a burden came about last weekend, when Malia, 14, was spotted adjusting her mother´s hair during the White House Easter Egg Roll.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Los Angeles — Some people have had it with TV. They´ve had enough of the 100-plus channel universe. They don´t like timing their lives around network show schedules. They´re tired of $100-plus monthly bills. A growing number of them have stopped paying for cable and satellite TV service, and don´t even use an antenna to get free signals over the air. (Snip) Last month, the Nielsen Co. started labeling people in this group "Zero TV" households, because they fall outside the traditional definition of a TV home.

On Friday, Sean Hannity brought Pat Smith, mother of the late Sean Smith, on his radio program.

Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself.

The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped.
