If this guys for real, I can't wait to listen to the debates. I agree, the President has his way with words and will wipe the podium with Romney.
And before the smarm about teleprompters comes up, remember the Republican depends on his Etch-A-Sketch!
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/29/classmate-romney-obama-debate-_n_1553427.htmlSidney Barthwell, perhaps the only former classmate of both Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama, thinks the former Massachusetts governor doesn't stand a chance when facing the incumbent president in debates prior to their November electoral contest.
“When they debate, Barack will smoke Romney,” Barthwell, a district court magistrate in Michigan, said in an interview published by The Daily on Tuesday.
"Mitt Romney is smart,” he continued. “Having said all that, I still think he’s going to get smoked. The best he can do is hopefully come out not looking like a fool. Mitt will find out the hard way as soon as they have their first debate: You don’t debate Obama.”
I get the same impression of Romney...the perpetual preppy who was pretty but dense...
But whereas Obama struck Barthwell as "brilliant" at Harvard -- where the two became friendly while working together for the Black Law Student Association -- he recalled Romney's years at Cranbrook as nothing to write home about. "Mitt was not particularly popular. He was very, very ordinary."
This is true...I wonder if the extreme right kooks know who you're nominating?
Barthwell also said he and those who know Romney are "baffled" by the latter's conservative views on the campaign trail, calling the governor a liberal-minded person whose father was a "social liberal, almost a civil rights champion."
