Obama's rather poor performance

Still nothing from Ray Carney? A Google search shows nothing new. He's using the strategy Obama did in the debate last night-----just stand there. Romney accused him is cutting Medicare by billions of dollars---repeated this several times---and he stood there like a dolt. Romney accused him of corruption----the "green energy" companies that got government money contributed to his campaign, and Obama said nothing.

Someone pointed out that that was pretty much his strategy in the Democratic Party debates when he ran for the nomination.

Before this, there were some doubts as to whether rich Republicans would keep throwing good money after bad into Romney's campaign when he was obviously going to lose.

Now I don't know if Democrats should bother supporting Obama when he won't stand up for anything.

But the strategy's probably working pretty well for Carney.

  1. Good to see someone else is following this story from the peripheries... Ever interact with Carney? I did, a bit. I liked the guy, for awhile...

  2. I've never had any contact with Ray Carney. As you said, I'm following this from the periphery, if that.

    I've read a little of Carney's work and he seems fairly brilliant. I can see why he has such an influence on his students.

    It seems pathological. Even if he clings to the papers, what on Earth does he want with the tapes?
