Obama 'believed he had BEATEN Romney' in Denver debate - after ignoring advice of top aides....

- Obama believes he'd got the better of Romney as he walked off stage to the dismay of his aides, according to a Democrat close to the campaign - The President failed to prepare properly, opting instead to visit the Hoover Dam the day before the showdown - Democrat claims he was so disdainful of Romney that he didn't think he needed to even engage with him - Had one-liners on 47% prepared but chose not to use them

watching his debate against Mitt Romney already knew it had been a disaster for him.

But what nobody knew, until now, was that Obama believed he had actually won.

In an extraordinary insight into the events leading up to the 90 minute showdown which changed the face of the election, a Democrat close to the Obama campaign today reveals that the President also did not take his debate preparation seriously, ignored the advice of senior aides and ignored one-liners that had been prepared to wound Romney.

More evidence that this guy’s mind is not rooted in reality.

I’m betting he actually believes he’s as intelligent as leftists/media say he is.

Forgot to add that this may very well be the first time zero has ever been challenged, possibly in his whole life.

Vice President Joe Biden faces Representative Paul Ryan, the Republican vice-presidential nominee, in a debate in Danville, Kentucky on Thursday. It will be the only time the two men - one of who was born in 1942, the other in 1970 - will debate.

Biden, 69, is vastly more experienced that the 42-year-old Ryan. The Obama campaign is counting on him to vigorously attack the Romney-Ryan ticket in a way that the President did not.

Should be good.

Same delusional bum that picked those green energy companies for investment. As Romney’s friend said, he doesn’t just pick winners and losers, he picks the losers. Not surprising he picked himself as the winner, it goes right along.

“Obama has a giant ego, he really believes that everyone bends over and kisses his ass..”

He believes and has lived the entitlement crap that he preaches. That attitude got him where he is today and anyone that says diffrently must be a racist. I hope it helps him circle the drain on the next go around with mittens.

He may be surprised when, on January 20 at noon, someone shows up at his front door and says “get out of my house”.

This is what really scares me.

What happens on November 7th? Does he lose that last tenuous grasp? Does he "take revenge on America" and starting issuing Executive Orders meant to destroy us without any pretense of what's good for us?

“He believes there are 59 states so what else is new..”

Actually, when he was campaigning in Oregon in 2008 he told the crowd he had been to 57 states and had one more to go.

So you owe him an apology, Max. He knew there are only 58 states (since Canada, the 59th state, had already been spun off).

He probably does believe this. And why not? In fact, it remains to be seen if he’s wrong or not. I think its going to be a very, very close race and there will be a lot of voter fraud. Further, a lot of women who he may have momentarily lost will come back and vote for him. I still think its Obama’s election to lose.

I agree, if he looses I sure don't believe he will go away quietly. It's obvious he's thin skinned and a poor sport.

I love when Biden took 11 minutes to ask Sam Alito a single question during Alito’s confirmation hearings, and Alito answered-—in six words.

Joe is a moron, plain and simple.

Very simple.

Did he think Romney would suck up to him and not challenge his woeful record like the MSM?

Yes, he thought Romney would be the same kind of pushover that McCain was. In fact, he thinks all white, male GOPers are easy to roll. Why wouldn't he, dealing with Boehner and McConnel. Obama figured he could do his passive/aggressive insult shtick just as he did with McCain in the debates and in the stimulus meetings.

Who still believes that Americans root for the underdog?

Might Obama (or his media morons), position himself as the ‘underdog’ for the sympathy vote - without sacrificing the perception that he is strong and resilient?

How could zero have possibly thought he won that with fact after fact thrown in his face - many of which he couldn’t even respond to? I’m not sure I buy this. His whole demeanor showed resignation, defeat, capitulation. I actually thought he recognized that Mitt is superior.

I know what they’re saying but I also know what I saw. Zero must look the same when Valerie and Michelle yell at him. Some world leader he is.

Well, this tells you that Obama will use a bunch of “one liners” in the coming debate -— most specifically with regard to the “47%” of america that are freeloaders.
