(5,412 posts)40. Excuses won't mean much if he loses the election.
I'm not buying the preparedness angle. Yes, I understand that there are great responsibilities as President of the United States.
But the man has mobile White Houses to fly around in that he can run the country from.
If getting accustomed to the air was what caused this problem (and it wasn't) then someone should have planned that out and gotten him in town earlier.
This election is a serious national security issue, as serious as nearly anything else that is happening in the world. The President needs to act like it.
By the last debate, Obama will be asking mittiot "how does my ass taste?"
I hope so. I hope at the next debate at least he spends less time looking down at the podium.

What I saw was a man (Obama) who couldn't defend himself, much less you and I.
