Obama Pokes Fun At Own Debate PerformanceLast edited Mon Oct 8, 2012, 12:46 PM USA/ET - Edit history (1)

LOS ANGELES (AP) — President Barack Obama has a new critic of his debate performance — himself. Speaking at a celebrity-led fundraiser at the Nokia Theatre, Obama came on stage after performances by such singers as Katy Perry, Jon Bon Jovi and Stevie Wonder and remarks by actor George Clooney. He marveled at how they are able to perform flawlessly night after night and then said, quote, “I can’t always say the same.” It was a shot at his listless debate showing against Republican Mitt Romney on Wednesday. Supporters in the crowd laughed at the line. Obama was raising millions of dollars over two days of campaigning in Los Angeles and San Francisco. He was capping his night at a ritzy 150-guest dinner costing $25,000 person. Read more: http://washington.cbslocal.com/2012/10/07/obama-pokes-fun-at-own-debate-performance/

What looked like a "victory" in that debate to talking heads, will not digest over time with the American People. Like you, millions of Americans saw a "bully" and rude jackass.
I agree with every word you wrote. |

Did it take you that long to decide that you are a Dem/liberal?
If you truly are, welcome. But your comment no Democrat/liberal is in the mood to laugh at your pathetic debate performance can't possibly be true. Quod erat demonstrandum by the responses in this thread.
Failing outright fraud and/or voter suppression by the GOP, I doubt that President Obama will be kissing the Presidency good-bye as long we have his back and GOTV. But I appreciate your concern.  |
