New RNC post-debate ad: “Smirk”
From the RNC: “Good morning, we’re out with a new video ‘Smirk’ highlighting the president’s debate performance where he was visibly uncomfortable as he struggled to give Americans answers on how he’ll turn our country around with another four years. As Morning Joe said this morning – it appeared as if Obama thought debating was beneath him.”

I can’t wait for the D+25 polls to show Mitt got no post-debate bounce.

Haven’t you heard? Kunta says Obama is +140 in all 57 states.
John the Libertarian on October 4, 2012 at 1:04 PM
My kind of bounce!
IrishEyes on October 4, 2012 at 1:05 PM
And the trolls will be screaming “Quit whining about the internals!!! Obama is WINNING!!!”
MobileVideoEngineer on October 4, 2012 at 1:06 PM
It’s going to take more than that. Just don’t expect them to release the demographics.
joekenha on October 4, 2012 at 1:07 PM
that is the best ad seen so far in this election…
equanimous on October 4, 2012 at 1:08 PM
For once, I completely agree with Morning Joe.
Bitter Clinger on October 4, 2012 at 1:08 PM
OMG, that was brutal.

Bark was thinking, “You white pig, I wish I could have you locked up, how dare you question me”.
Bishop on October 4, 2012 at 1:11 PM
Play that everywhere. It conveys precisely what needs to be understood about this election.
ElectricPhase on October 4, 2012 at 1:15 PM
really diggin’ this ad.

Well, running coverup operations on two fronts (Benghazi & F+F) takes a lot of energy. Debates are distractin

Not if you deserve it.
*THUNK!*
Denied.
Bishop on October 4, 2012 at 1:22 PM
Mitt has bho’s jaws almost locked with anger with the truth? I’m surprised he can talk having to unlock the jaws?
This is a good ad!

Barry looks as if he’s thinking about bringing up Seamus Romney. John Kerry told him that would be ‘the bomb’.
BHO Jonestown on October 4, 2012 at 1:25 PM
At that moment when Romney talked about the middle class being buried, you just know what was going thru O’s head: “Jeebus, Biden, you’re an idiot! I guess I really DO only pick losers.”

Speaking of brutal!
The gloves are off, friends.

Obama looked like a guilty dog.
El_Terrible on October 4, 2012 at 1:28 PM
Get that ad on TV
and….
Ouch
SteveInRTP on October 4, 2012 at 1:31 PM
I’d describe the expression as more of a grimace than a smirk. You don’t smirk when you’re getting bent over a barrel as Obama did last night.
Dead Hand Control on October 4, 2012 at 1:32 PM
Obama doesn’t feel that debating is beneath him. It’s just clear that he’s never been seriously challenged by anyone in his life, and he simply doesn’t have the tools to respond.
I think Romney quite literally shook Obama’s entire world last night. Obama will show up for the next debate petulant and angry, and the mask will slip for a lot of people.
Popcorn.
The Resolute Desk on October 4, 2012 at 1:32 PM
Obama was clenching his jaw so tight in that smirk that I thought we might hear bone crack.
Anybody click on the link below that article at the Examiner titled “Ohio shocker …” dated today which says that GOP requests for early voting absentee ballots in Ohio are beginning to outpace Doom requests and it could lead to a GOP blowout–get out there and vote to make it so!!

I guess Woodward didn’t get the Al Gore memo…..
UltimateBob on October 4, 2012 at 1:37 PM
Except that the guilty dog only crapped on the carpet.
0bama crapped all over our economy, the Constitution, and America’s standing in the world.

Out: Zingers. In: Crushing your opponent, seeing him driven before you, and hearing the lamentations of his women. #EatenLikeADog
TallDave on October 4, 2012 at 1:49 PM
While this is funny, Obama exempted himself, his family and the entire congress from Obama’care’. It should have been a question “Why, Mr. Prez, if you think it’s so glorious?”
Schadenfreude on October 4, 2012 at 2:05 PM
I especially like how Barky looks to Jimmy Lehrer, hoping he would interrupt Mitt but this time he didn’t.
Brat on October 4, 2012 at 2:28 PM
Yep, I hope for Jim’s sake that he doesn’t need anything serious from Medicare in the next couple of months.
