So now we apparently have some dolt who went to school with both Barry "Almighty" and Mitt Romney and who also predicted that Barry would "smoke" Gov. Romney actually saying he is dumbfounded by Obama's poor showing in the first debate. Of curse it shouldn't come as any great surprise that this clown is also…black. "I'm surprised. I was shocked, actually," Sidney Barthwell, a district court magistrate in Michigan who attended Cranbrook with Romney and Harvard Law School with Barry "Almighty", told The Daily. "That was not the Barack Obama I’ve seen through the years. I’m thinking the man might have had the flu or something." Yup, here we have someone else ready, willing and eager to come up with some excuse, any excuse, for Barry's rather abysmal debate performance. Right, Barry must have been suffering from the flu or something. Come on, really?
This guy Barthwell, who, supposedly, has remained friendly with both candidates over the years and claims that he is staying neutral in the presidential race, said earlier this year that he expected his bro Barry to dominate in any direct face-offs between the two candidate. "When they debate, Barack will smoke Romney," Barthwell, 64, told The Daily in May. "Mitt Romney is smart," he said at the time. "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." Sure, this goof is staying "neutral." So I suppose that Mr. Barthwell must have been pretty surprised by the turn of events in the first debate. I'm sure he was more than a little, dare I say, shocked when Barry the "magic negro" turned out to be quite the dud and got his clock pretty thoroughly cleaned.
Barthwell, who also happens to be the only black graduate of Mitt Romney's 1965 class at Cranbrook Schools, the prestigious boarding school in suburban Detroit, said Romney's former classmates have been pulling for the president. "There’s been a lot of emails going back and forth between people in my class. The vast majority of them are very supportive of Barack and not Mitt Romney," he said. "It’s surprising to me because Cranbrook was a very conservative type of place." Well what I'd say to this moron is, prove it. So we're supposed to believe that the majority of what are probably some pretty smart folks, except for this guy, all support a guy like Barry, a fella who has quite literally brought the economy in this country to its knees and actually desires to institute additional polices that do nothing more than to kick it while its down. We're really supposed to believe this drivel?
On Thursday, this dolt Barthwell said he barely recognized Barry who appeared on stage at the first presidential debate this week in Denver. The Michigan man said his former law school classmate seemed out of it. "You never see Barack looking down all the time," he said of the president's performance Wednesday night, widely panned as lackluster, at best. "He was actually stumbling over his words. That was not the real Barack Obama in my opinion." Barthwell also said Barry was unusually reserved, even in the face of full-on attacks from Romney - a possible sign, he suggested, of Barry's acute awareness of the politics of race. "It’s possible he doesn't want to appear to be the angry-black man type," Barthwell said. Now is that a stretch or what? Of all the excuses I have thus far heard, this one ranks right up there with the one that Al Gore floated about Denver's high altitude being the reason for Barry's sad performance.
And our esteemed magistrate said it's likely that Romney -- who he described back in May as "not an athlete," "not a student leader" and "not a scholar" -- was simply better prepared for the debate. "Mitt Romney is a smart guy," he said. "He must have prepared for this debate and it was obvious." Gee, ya think? Ya know I think that the perfect analogy for this date might be the Super Bowl. How many of these games have we all watched that have ended up in a blowout? And I have to admit the games that are more fun to watch are the games that are close. Now while I am very glad that Romney did so well, I would have liked to have seen Barry put up much more of a fight, because I think had that happened Romney's very thorough thrashing of him would have had even more of an impact. But as it was, it was like watching a game where the team that finds itself two or three touchdowns behind, simply walks off of the field and heads for home.
