Anyone remember what President Obama said during Wednesday’s less-than exciting debate? Me neither. But do you remember how he said the things we no longer remember?
Yep, me too. I remember every verbal inflection and soothing cadence, tones better left to National Public Radio.
Cool and collected is what got Obama elected. His ability to stay above the fray was attractive to an America on the verge of panic.
But Mr. Cool turned into Mr. Remote and had a lot of America reaching for one. Mitt Romney was the Energizer Bunny. He was aggressive and quick with Reaganesque rejoinders. One humiliating example: The GOP nominee compared Obama to one of his five sons fibbing yet again in the hopes his parents will believe it this time.
Was it me, or did our president shrink in that moment to the size of a recalcitrant millennial? The leader of the most powerful nation cannot allow himself to be diminished by comparisons to one of the Romney boys excusing a dent in the family Beemer!

He looked tired and creepy last night. Maybe something bad is on his mind.
I want a President that is up and WAITING for the 2 am phone call, not one who takes the phone off the hook and rolls over. Energizer Bunny for President. :)
Not over by a long shot, but boy, do I feel better.
No bias in this columnist. She’s objective, right down the middle.
Even 90% of the Left knows this author is full of crap. I watched everyone of these since 1988 and I have NEVER seen anyone get beat as badly as O did last night.
Why not Speedy Alka-Seltzer, Ready Kilowatt, Mr. Clean, the Jolly Green Giant, Josephine the Lady Plumber, Chef Boyardee, Poppin' Fresh, Cap'n Crunch, Charlie the Tuna, or Choo Choo Charlie while we're at it?
For once, I think Al Gore might be right. I have experienced symptoms similar to Obama when I visited Santa Fe, NM for a technical seminar. I had trouble keeping awake during the day long seminar, felt tired, and for the first time in my life experienced irregular heart beats. But Santa Fe is 8000 feet altitude, Obama was only at 5000 feet. I was exactly same age then as Obama is now.
When Obama bounded on the scene a few years ago; he was “young” and a new idea, pushing “hopey changey”; talked and talked and talked, while saying NOTHING.
Now, after these years of Obama running his mouth endlessly in speech after speech, familiarity has begun to breed contempt. All the broken promises and dishonesty have reached critical mass. The TELEPROMPTER-in-Chief is about to be fired. When put up beside a man with character; he is weighed in the balances and found wanting.
style, substance, tirede, high altitude, blah, blah. No matter what you say or how you say it, you’ll never win a debate with a track record like zero’s
“He looked tired and creepy last night.”
Yes he did. Definitely NOT “eye candy.”
Any truth to the rumor that Baraq wants to cancel the other debates and go with a golf tourney instead?
What I saw was a guy that not only really believes his own BS, but more importantly is someone who has never been challenged before.
You’re dealing with a huge Pharoah complex here. This guy thinks power is his by birthright, and just got a rude, rude awakening last nite that it really isn’t.
In Santa Fe, it could have been the near total lack of humidity. It’s easy to get dehydrated, and the symptoms you describe are the symptoms of dehydration (including irregular heartbeat).
But, but, I heard he was the “Eye Candy” on that great TV show, The View....now that would not be incorrect, would it? Uuuuuh, it would? Who knew?
Obama prepared for 3 days at 1880 ft elevation prior to the debate, this would have diminished the effect of the elevation in Denver so it was probably negligible.
He was at the same altitude as he was when he gave that famous speech 4 years ago, just a few miles, and a lifetime, away.
“disengaged?”
