Massacre leaves liberals in tears
NY Post ^ | 10/4/12 | JOHN PODHORETZ

Slaughter. It was a slaughter.

Mitt Romney put on the most commanding presidential debate performance of the insta-commentary era. One could literally watch, on Facebook and Twitter, hundreds of people on both sides of the political divide react in real time as the debate went on.

Their reactions were identical, though their moods were not: As Romney dominated exchange after exchange with a surprisingly effective combination of pointed personal touches and remarkable factual preparation, conservatives and Republicans grew more and more jubilant while liberals and Democrats grew more and more alarmed.

I am beginning to think Mr Obama’s performance was an act.

I am not sure what the next act will be but he either wants to lose or figures he can’t lose.

I don’t think it was an act. I believe it was the performance of an affirmative action baby who has always been petted and placed ahead of his peers based on false assumptions. Last night he was really confronted for the first time. Obama showed that he is not an intellectually superior politician, he is not flexible, he is not quick on his feet, he is not agile, he has a lazy thought process and he does not know how to respond to challenge. We got a chance to see the real Obama for once.

Yeah; it’s called “hubris”.

In short, we just saw Edward Klein's book The Amateur come to life. And what the Democrats saw petrified them to no end.

I’m wondering if it’s a planned replay of Reagan/Mondale wher Reagan performed horribly and then came back strong in the following debate. Onevthing is certain, last nights performance will not recur; the left will make sure of that.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie predicts presidential race will be “turned upside down” after first debate

"the presidential race will be “turned upside down” on Thursday morning after GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama debate each other for the first time"

CHRISTIE NAILED IT! TEAM ROMNEY KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THEY WERE GOING TO DO! All the nervous nellys peed on themselves needlessly.

Obama’s debate prep coach was John Kerry.

Need I say more ?

Try this (especially you lefties reading this) -

Obama IS “lazy, shiftless, arrogant, and narcissistic” and has an IQ MUCH lower than the left gives him credit for, which shows up like a sore thumb when he doesn’t have a speech to read.

One thing is certain, last nights performance will not recur; the left will make sure of that.

Simply wrong! The next debate is foreign policy and Romney will crush Bozo again. Bozo can't blame Bush for his foreign policy blundering, unlike the economy. He is even more naked.

Exactly. Unlike other Presidents Obama has never faced an opposition of any kind, press or party! Last night was the first time.

The Empty Chair went to the Hoover Dam to waste time instead of prep for the debate. Of course he thought he could just walk out there and get handed the debate.
That's why we'll never see his college transcripts.....they'll mirror his debate prep & performance except that he was handed his passing grades in college and he was handed his a$$ last night.

“I’m wondering if it’s a planned replay of Reagan/Mondale wher Reagan performed horribly and then came back strong in the following debate. Onevthing is certain, last nights performance will not recur; the left will make sure of that.”

So, Zero performed horribly in the first debate on purpose so he can come back strong in a debate about NATIONAL SECURITY?
