The fraudulence of Obama's presidency is so great that only an analogy can bring us close to sufficiently expressing that fraud. In the movie The Gladiator, Roman Emperor Commodus abuses his power to rule over the people with an iron fist and to ensure that he is viewed favorably, while the truly great man in Maximus is initially thought to be a mere slave and far inferior to Commodus. When confronted with the man himself, however, the Coliseum crowds come to adore the brave gladiator, and Commodus' advantage of holding favor by hiding behind the power of the state is diminished. Eventually Commodus has no choice but to engage the truly superior Maximus face-to-face, and despite cheating, Commodus loses. The last four years and their culmination in last night's debate have been quite similar.
*snip*
The University of Denver served as the Coliseum, the people's Maximus was found in Mitt Romney, and our Commodus-like-president had nowhere to hide. And while we slave-like peasants -- as we conservatives are viewed by Obama -- knew the strength of our fellow gladiator, the blinded masses had their eyes opened for the first time. Just as Commodus, the privileged son of the Emperor, never had to actually fight, Obama has never before had to reconcile his view of the world with reality. From community organizer to "constitutional scholar," to absentee Senator to the presidency, Obama has lived his entire life in a world of mere ideas without ever having to depend on the truth of those ideas.

All his flaws and inadequacies were ignored and he was NEVER properly vetted, etc.
Only real idiots would be surprised by “O’s” performance last night.
Well, we and Rome survived William Jefferson Caligula so I guess we can survive Barack Hussein Commodus.
Romney was that little kid that dared to say that the emperor was naked!
“And while we slave-like peasants — as we conservatives are viewed by Obama — knew the strength of our fellow gladiator, the blinded masses had their eyes opened for the first time.”
Oh, the dopes will STILL vote for him. A portion will sit this election out, but those on the dole will still vote for him. And the MSM will still carry his water - right off the cliff.
I’m thoroughly CONVINCED that 0 knew he was way in over his head when he was sworn in, but promised himself to do as much damage to our Republic as he could, while he had the opportunity. He’s no dummy, and a born Socialist; they cannot HELP themselves!
And now? Oh, Joy! Oh, Happiness! We The People will be supporting this GRIFTER and his loathsome wife until the day they die. That’s what really p*sses me off! *SPIT*
“Well, we and Rome survived William Jefferson Caligula so I guess we can survive Barack Hussein Commodus.”
LOL! Yes, but we can only p*ss God off for so long! ;)
He IS the first affirmative action president
By noon today the media will have half of us believing that Obama won the debate.
The msm can't duck and hide about this one. Everyone saw it. And that's Mitt's gift. The media now has a reason to be honest about obama.
Mitt showed up and introduced us to obama. The real one.
“Be not afraid of greatness; some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness thrust upon them.” Obama; none of the above. Just because you’ve been granted the title Commander-in-chief... it doesn’t make you a commander of men or the chief of anything. And, 60 million Americans saw that for the first time last night.
My fave lib delusional spin so far was that Obama was rope a doping to set up for later.
MSM will try to save Barry but his ship is sunk.
Fact is that:
POTUS - TOTUS = ZERO
Without his brain, meaning his handlers and the people who are really running (ruining?) the U.S., and without them putting their words into Obama’s teleprompter, Obama was bound to lose the debate. He can’t fake it without the teleprompter, and he’s been caught being the Zero that he is.
Not only is Kenyon, Obama headed for a toilet flush, but.....so are two other groups.....the maintream media and Black Americans. The MSM cannot save itself, but......Black Americans can!!! How? Broom Obama, The NAACP and the CBC! immmediately!! If not Black Americans will be adrift at sea, tied up at the Obama economic slave plantiation for the next hundred years!!! Folks, you are either with America or Obama. Make your choice!!! End of story!!!
Maybe he should get Bill Clinton to debate for him too.
By noon today the media will have half of us believing that Obama won the debate.
Won’t happen. I know “0” will be more prepared next time but the facts are the facts and now he knows Romney will call him out on any lie. For once this president is going to have to work for a change. MSM will try to help him but, at present, they can’t. The king was wearing no clothes last night.
