LOS ANGELES — President Barack Obama opened a two-day fundraising swing through California on Sunday with a "30 Days to Victory Concert" starring George Clooney, Jon Bon Jovi, Earth Wind and Fire, Stevie Wonder, Katy Perry, and Jennifer Hudson. He also seemed to poke fun at his own listless debate performance last week against Mitt Romney.

"Everybody here is incredible professionals, they're such great friends and they just perform flawlessly night after night. I can't always say the same," Obama said, drawing laughter and cheers from the crowd.

Looking back at 2008, Obama said, "everybody always remembers the victory, but they don't always remember the bumps in the road." "Things always look good in retrospect. But in the middle of it we made all kinds of mistakes. We goofed up. I goofed up. But the American people carried us forward," he said.

I was just reading through some of the comments on the actual Yahoo story. I was amazed at the lack of Obama supporters there. I love it! Over 1900 comments, mostly against his reelection.

People are unemployed all over the U.S.A. . The media however creates an alternate false reality where everything is fine.

Romney did great in the debate. First time we see the real Romeney and the Real Obama and some of the real situation in the U.S..

I would have told Obama, “Apologize now to the American people for ruining the American dream, Destroying the greatest country in the world, with 6 trillion in debt , lowest workforce participation in history and with your socialist policies that you are forcing on the American people which the media hides.” Apologize and resign or tell us how 6 trillion that you added in debt to U.S. will not destroy this country, 6 trillion in debt that you gave to your campaign donors like Solyndra, etc.” Resign now for your going around Congress, abusing power when decreeing Amnesty for illegals , a million of them to take more jobs away from Americans” Hope Romney hits this POS Obama with that

I call on Congress now to impeach Obama for abusing power with these zcars, with Solyndra, with passing the Dream act by himself without Congress, fas and furious” Hope Romney hits this POS Obama with that

Is that what you are, Mr. Obama? A performer?

Too bad for us all that you aren’t a leader...in fact you are not even a performer...you are a liar and a disgrace.

Everything is just a laugh a minute with this clown. Another bump in the road for his mission to totally destroy us. I’d like to give him a bump! Use your imagination here.

The only people who carried you were idiots wanting to absolve their subconscious of their racism.

They’re over it now....

"...But the American people carried us forward,"

This shows misplaced complacency. They believe the liberal media will carry the day, and the media's power to persuade is clearly dead in the water.

We have a history to observe. The media shilled for each and every dem candidate in the 2010 mid-terms, in the Wisconsin recall, and were exposed as ineffective. Their only remaining weapon is now just as "flaccid" as Obama was in the first debate.
