* He’s not used to being challenged: For all of the chatter that President Obama loves to surround himself with people willing to disagree with him, the truth of the matter is that being the leader of the free world means that what you say goes pretty much all the time. ...................It's called the dictator syndrome.

"Why was President Obama so bad?"

Because he sucks? Just a guess.

He wasn’t so bad...he just met his match. He’s been protected for so long by the media and his teleprompter that we’ve never known the intelligence of the real guy. Now we do. Weak.

I agree with the article: He is not used to being challanged, and he is not that good of a debator.

IMO, it is his arrogance.

Why should he have to campaign? Why should he have to roll up his sleeves and get his hands dirty? Isn't his greatness obvious to everyone? This election should be an afterthought.

This is who Obama really is, without the Teleprompter and a script written by others. He is not a great speaker. He is not a smart man. He is obviously illiterate on economics.

My daughter noticed he never took notes to organize his thoughts to respond to Romney. He doesn't even know how to debate.

Obama could hold his own against McCain, another bottom of the class man, when McCain was afraid to challenge him on anything for fear of being called a racist. But last night he faced a top of the class man in command of his facts. Barry was exposed for who he is.

obama actually did much better than I expected without his teleprompter.

He was never reduced to the “uh, ah, uh, uh, ah, I-I-I-I-I-I uh, uh” stage!!!!

clinton must have done a good job coaching obama to prevent the massive inarticulateness that we have all seen from time to time. But obama still lost to Romney big-time, as he deserved!!!!

I think there’s a good possibility that he spent weeks planning to take the debate in a certain direction, then had to toss out his playbook in the last day or two after getting his normal early look at the Sept jobs numbers (due out tomorrow morning, so we’ll see )

I think that’s what happened with his Convention speech too. He probably had a speech written based on the general consensus that that August would see 250,000 new jobs. But then had to go to a backup speech when he found out right before the speech that there were only 96,000 new jobs (and over 300,000 people gave up and stopped looking for work).

I do think the video pushed by Carlson/Drudge the night before was released not really to change voters’ minds on anything directly, but to throw Obama off his debate game. They surely coordinated with Romney’s campaign on that, knowing Romney’s plan was to get tougher on Obama in the debate than he’s been on the stump so far. The video was meant to scare Obama into trying to play the role of the “nice guy” so he didn’t confirm the impression of him being angry shown in the video. So the roles got reversed, Romney was tough and Obama was nice, which totally confounded everyone’s expectations.

And I do think Obama was genuinely rattled by Romney’s command of the facts. It’s clear Obama was not prepared to match Romney on recitation of memorized details.

"Why was President Obama so bad?"

Because he is! Don't strain the brain, the answer is simple!

Now I have a question - What took the dimwits so long to see the obvious?

The problem with Obama is that he's stupid. Many of us saw that way back when he arrived at the US Senate ~ others didn't. There are even those who imagine him to be a master schemer.

What you see, what you saw last night, is all there is. He's never been better.

Obama seemed to vacillate between flummoxed and annoyed that Romney was contradicting almost every assertion he tried to make. .......................I almost felt sorry for Zero...he looked like a little boy being scolded by his teacher.

Because he’s a moron who is not used to being challenged and all those years of “getting all wee weed up” took a toll on whatever brain cells the bastard had. You could see right at the beginning that when Romney began quoting facts and statistics from memory that Hussein was taken by surprise. he couldn’t compete on an intellectual level. He doesn’t carry his TOTUS to the ice cream shop, or to the third grade classroom for nothing!

Because it is the first time he actually had to seriously debate someone. The problem for the Left is the real Obama showed up last night.

“Theories abound —up to and including that Obama, who had done debate prep in Las Vegas, struggled to adjust to Denver’s altitude. (Not kidding. That is a theory espoused by none other than former Vice President Al Gore).

High altitude makes you stupid? LOL

Loser!

Obama just plain sucks! I also think he has some significant mental and physical problems. The guy looked like a drug user and skeleton. Hmmm!

Why was he so bad?? BECAUSE HE DOESN'T WANT A SECOND TERM.

He gets a big fat pension for life....And will never work again.
