The coming presidential debates

The Narrative Has Already Been Written  "If Obama stumbles in his first debate against Romney, the ObamaMedia will be doing what they can to justify his lackluster performance by reminding the audience that Obama didn’t have adequate time to prepare, considering the tremendous duties associated with being the Commander-in-Chief. 
"Mitt Romney on the other hand, he doesn’t have to bear the burden of being the president.  He’s a fulltime candidate.  So anything less than perfect will reflect poorly on him.  And let’s face it; if the ObamaMedia is the judge, there is no chance of Romney ever coming out of these debates looking good, let alone perfect."  Neal Boortz

Victor Davis Hanson; Can Romney appear as an upbeat Reagan to Obama’s petulant Carter?   "What does 1980 tell us about 2012? Barack Obama, like Carter, can run neither on his dismal four-year stewardship of the economy nor on his collapsing Middle East policy.

Instead, Obama, as Carter did, must stamp his opponent as too inexperienced, too out of touch, and too uncaring to be president. While Carter was a dull speaker and Obama, in contrast, possesses teleprompter eloquence, there is no evidence that Obama is any better a debater than was Carter."

L. A. Times is laying the groundwork to explain a bad Obama performance in the contest.  "As far as Parsons is concerned, Obama is at a disadvantage for the up coming debates because he is busy being president and has less time for debate practice than Romney."   Well, this is the paper of choice for TV actors, Oscar/ Emmy/Grammy award winners and an unnamed corpulent movie director.
