Yes....he was nervous today. He’s had reason to be cool & composed considering that the GOP has been a paper tiger.
Obama loves campaigning, but he's lousy at it. As long as he's got the wind at his back, he's a great performer, filled with vigor and courage, but let him run into a real obstacle, or any kind of setback, and he begins losing it on stage.
He doesn't have the discipline to remain calm in the face of adversity. Like a spoiled brat, as soon as things aren't going his way, he begins throwing tantrums.
We've seen this before from him. In 2008, Sarah Palin set him back on his heels, and forced him to run against her, instead of McCain. Remember how pouty and loud he got, back then? She scared the you-know-what out of the punk.
We're seeing the same behavior from him now. His voice is rising by two or three octaves, and he's sounding like an uneducated street rat. He's barely coherent, and not at all presidential (as if he's ever been, but what the hey...).
Barry sees the real internals and is reading all of the most devastating intel, minute by minute. It's got him rattled, which is a wonderful sign for us.
