[a fool in paradise]

Don’t recall journalists being worried about McCain’s first debate performance. I thought he thought they were his friend.

He is losing regardless, Sam you irrelevant old demagouge.

Obama will bounce back in the ‘town hall’ this week. It’ll be full of planted soft balls for him and gotchas for Romney.

Immediately after the debate, the first pundit I heard was Donaldson who claimed he wasn’t sure who won the debate!

Obama is to be mocked now, à la post debate, the New Yorker cover, SNL, etc...he’s finished.

1. It was not a “glide path”. The 2010 election should have been a clear evidence to the contrary.

2. Things have gotten worse since then, on the global and domestic fronts.

3. A clown throwing darts at a decision chart would be a more effective leader.

4. obama just wants to go chill on the beach, and choom.

Poor Sam. He can't even do simple arithmetic anymore. Obama can only come to ONE more debate. The other one is between Ryan and Biden. Senility is a sad thing.

I think this is a liberal “dog whistle”.

What Sam is really saying is, “Look, we can carry this guy’s water, and have, a long, long way. But he has got to give us at least one showing good enough to spin into a plausible good showing. Otherwise, we’re all going to be really, really peeved that he is making us look bad, when we continue to carry his water.”

[GOPJ]

The folks complaining the most are BIG liberal fans... that’s odd. Could it be a set up for the next debate? Could Obama be as bad as he seems? Is the wagon going over the cliff? Come back next week...

I suspect he will come out with the exact opposite demeanor, some type of pseudo-tough guy act, and will still look just as foolish.

[crosshairs]

Maybe barry feels secure about stealing the election. You know, like his buddy Hugo just did.

Sam’s giving the idiot in chief a mulligan.
