An honest critique of Obama, in the debate tonight. |
|
I support Obama, but I have to keep it real. He was just a tad to negative tonight. In other words, the hope candidate was low on hope. He talked to much about our problems that we are facing in this country.
Yes, I know that 'what' he is saying is true, and needs to be stated. However, you can add some positivity to it.
Just something I noticed. If I was advising him, I would tell him to step it up a notch.
Overall, I think he did fine.

2. Objectively, for being attacked on three fronts, Obama did OUTSTANDING! |

7. True, he did take a lot of incoming. I noticed that and had several WFT moments. Because of that |
|
he did have to talk in the negative (defensive) position more than Hillary. It was not fair, and fuck the two moderators.
Thanks for the reminder.

5. he was being attacked for forty minutes |
|
its surprising he didnt completely lose it.
But at the end of the day, Clinton comes out the winner in this, no doubt about that.

8. Yes, I think he would benefit from smiling more and putting a bit more energy into his voice. |
|
He's VERY appealing when he does that. Perhaps unbeatable, even.

10. You are absolutly right. He needs to turn on that Obama charm. The best I ever seen him is when he |
|
made his Annie Oakley statements about Clinton. He needs some more of that, "Come on, give me a break, type of humur", when sparing with the msm.

15. I think the first half hour had him backing up on his heels but he recovered and by the end, |
|
he once again sounded like the real presidential candidate.
He was classy and focused. He did not play gotcha the way Hil did. She looked petty and desperate.
