- 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.

> ... after ignoring advice of top aides

This can be a Romney ad: Do you want a president who considers the advice of his advisors, or one who ignores it?

Obama also believes, just like he said many yrs ago and was caught on tape saying so, that if you give enough free stuff to people, they will vote the way you tell them to vote..which is true..that is why Romney was right about the 47 percent..that is the number Obama is stuck on because that is the percentage of people who sit at home waiting for their Govt goodies to arrive

It's obvious he's thin skinned and a poor sport.

Forget the "poor-sport" stuff. I honestly believe that he's lost most of his sanity. If it doesn't push him over to psychotic, I will be pleasantly surprised.

Obama is a miracle worker, he cured ‘white guilt’.

“You know as well as I do to whom I was referring, Mr. President. Those who under your administration have become increasingly numerous; those who are comfortably dependent on government and don’t intend to ever not be dependent on government. One could surmise that perhaps this was the goal of your policies.”

This doesn’t surprise me one bit at all. Obama, a legend in his own mind.

Next month can’t come fast enough...

I am now wondering if that gift of a $35 million manse in Hawaii wasn't given as a counter-incentive to win re-election.

Obama answers to NO ONE in the media because he knows they all adore him..just you watch, if it looks like Obama’s goose is cooked a few days before the election the media will abandon him. The media adores him, but they adore themselves more.

I think you nail it! Let us all never forget the MSM complicity in this national fraud. As far as I am concerned, it too late for them to even try to redeem themselves. They must be held accountable for the hell they helped unleash on this country.

Obama could not possibly have thought he had won that debate. Romney was looking him in the eye and taking him down, and Obama could only smirk and look downward. This was not a man who thought he was winning anything.

Obama’s body language puts the lie to this theory.

Look for a big over-correction in the next pres debate. I hope Romney will be ready, cause zero’s handlers will have him throwing everything at Mitt, including the kitchen sink, and the press will have orgasms over obama’s ‘brilliant’ performance. It won’t matter whether Romney smokes him or not.

I’m sure Romney’s ready for it. If he’s going to put tapes on the table.... well - then obama’s racist tape is fair game. Is he only president of minorities and not whites? Fair question.

The media is the one that created Obama..if the media had done their JOB in 2008 Obama would have lost..his associations alone would have cost him the election. It would have been Hillary Clinton Vs McCain, who would have won, who knows, but Obama would never have made it passed the primary. The media made a deal with him sometime in 2008 that if he scratches their back they will scratch his..but this time around, if it really really looks bad for Obama they will drop him, all of a sudden they will look unbiased..they will want to save their own asses because they value themselves and their jobs much more than its worth trying to save Obama
