Hey, just blame it on Bush. The consensus on the presidential debate last night is that Barack Obama could resurrect the Choom Gang and star in a remake of Dazed and Confused. Conservative pundits are all aflutter with praise and liberals are all on Twitter with groans. Andrew Sullivan wrote, “Obama looked tired, even bored; he kept looking down; he had no crisp statements of passion or argument; he wasn't there.” A very upset Michael Moore tweeted, “This is what happens when u pick John Kerry as your debate coach.” And million-dollar-donor Bill Maher chimed in, “Obama made a lot of great points tonight. Unfortunately, most of them were for Romney.” Well, don’t feel too bad, guys. At least he did slightly better than when he debated Clint Eastwood.
Chris Matthews, clearly perturbed that he’s lost that tingling feelin’, asked, “Where was Obama tonight? … What was he doing…?” Chris, he was doing what he always does: nothing well. It’s just that you’ve finally noticed.
And now, after the Denver dose of reality, can we finally put to bed the myth of Obama the intellectually gifted? Yeah, I know, after eight years of a media narrative about Bush the cranially compromised, it was easy to say that, hey, now we’re getting the smart guy. As Joe Biden put it, “I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man." Or, at least, that’s the story by the book — of cultural affirmative action (CAA).

Dennis Miller had a couple of funny lines:
“Obama better hope a Kicked Ass is covered under Obamacare”
I think that he said something else like “Obama kept looking down for a belt buckle teleprompter”
Last night Obama debated exactly as he has governed for 4 years.
I think Romney had the advantage over Clint Eastwood. The empty chair didn’t do as badly with Eastwood. The chair knew when to keep it’s mouth shut and not show it’s confusion, unlike the live Obama. Live Obama had that bewildered “Oh crap no teleprompter!” look on his mug, and Romney ran with it and trounced Obama.
Don’t confuse Baraq’s weak personal performance with his hard left governance driven by Axlegrease and ValJ.
I understand the temptation to be humorous, but let’s keep this on a higher plane. We mustn’t take a page out of the liberals’ book. Also remember that tender eyes may occasionally be watching.
Take care.
