Following tonight’s first presidential debate, liberal pundit James Carville told his fellow CNN panelists that, despite his support for President Barack Obama, he has to admit that it looked like GOP challenger Mitt Romney had a better performance.
“I had one overwhelming impression,” he said. “I did everything I could not to reach it, but it looked like Romney wanted to be there and President Obama didn’t want to be there.”
He continued: “It seemed like Romney was happy to be there. Obama gave me the impression that the whole thing was kind a lot of trouble.”
The former Bill Clinton strategist then admitted he believes Romney “had a good night.”
“I think he wanted to be there,” concluded Carville. “I think he knew he needed this, and I think Obama gave the sense he wasn’t happy to be at this debate.”

If he didn’t want to be there at the beginning, he sure didn’t want to be there at the end.

Both the moderator and Romney had to explain economics 101 to our president....Obama did not have a clue other than to repeat the buzz words he has been allowed to believe...and that in its self is a crime...a president whom no one has corrected his wrongheadedness thinking. Michelle did not appear to be happy.........

Romney ‘Had A Good Night,’ While Obama ‘Didn’t Want To Be There’
The "entitlement" mentality comes through with Obama. He felt that, he was entitled to be re-elected, and showing up was all that was necessary. The people don't see it that way.

.............but it looked like Romney wanted to be there and President Obama didn’t want to be there.” I got the impression that Obama not only didn't want to be there (debate) but that he also didn't have the desire to be reelected. Obama appeared to be dejected and to have accepted his demise. The man is under a dark cloud and all is not well.

Nothing quite screams "I'm an idiot!" like your picture next to
a loser, helping to compose an arrogant but inept book title. :-)

“Had a good night” — Yeah, it was just a fluke that Romney managed to speak well and coherently about liberty and economic opportunity arising from free people. Nothing but a “good night.”

It's fun, isn't it?" Romney, a successful businessman, interjected at one point.

Under a dark cloud indeed!
Imagine trying to be on your game with this thought in your mind all night.
Michelle before the debate, "Barry, tonight's your lucky night, this anniversary pretend I'm Reggie Love"
That's enough to scare Satan himself!

Obama looked like he couldn’t wait to go back and have a nice big bong hit.

Now why didn’t Clint think of that? That would have been hilarious!

I think Romney should hit harder on the deficit. Obama is explicitly in favor of increasing the debt.
