And that reason, according to the President, was Mitt Romney. Mitt Romney made the President lose the debate. And he did so, nefariously and without a shred of fairness, by not adopting the “Mitt Romney” persona created for him by the press and the Obama campaign. That is, he did so by bringing actual reality into an arena the President mistakenly believed would still be guided by those special rules of perceptional physics the left has mapped onto a poststructural anti-foundational world of their own devising.
Whoops!
Sadly, I doubt he even realizes how useful I and others find his rather refreshing admission.
Ah, youse just queer for “spirited fellows…”
Has Barry called Mitt a dirty cheater yet?
How dare reality not meet my expectations! Have it flogged at once!
Because they basically control the mainstream media, and because they have created for themselves a fictional conservative worldview (evident in many an Aaron Sorkin project and Barack Obama speech) rather than confront the actual conservative worldview, liberals are often caught off guard when faced with an actual argument for positions they disagree with. What we’ve seen in the wake of the debate is that some on the Left are so wedded to their imaginary right-wingers that when their actual opponents advance positions or make arguments that are different from those imaginary ones they will call those actual opponents fakes and liars. They believed their own caricature of Mitt Romney, and his unwillingness to play into it strikes them as dishonest. Or put another way: Confronted with evidence of their own dishonesty about who Romney is and what he stands for, they call the evidence a lie.

Has Barry called Mitt a dirty cheater yet?
He brought notes with him, written on a hankie. Don’t know if O has made the accusation, but Kos has.
But we all know it was the altitude. Denver residents regularly drop like flies from the thin atmosphere.
Altitude sickness? Hmm. I guess that explains it.
Being in Denver is practically like being on the summit of Mt. Everest, after all. Many are the times I’ve keeled over at the airport. Not.
Heh.

Sort of like that scene in Rocky when Apollo Creed’s corner first realize Rocky thinks this is actually a fight.
If you watch his podium during that Smirk video, you can see at one point Obama is using a pencil. Since it was against the rules to take notes, we know he wouldn’t be doing that.
I think he was distracted trying to beat himself at tic tac toe.
Obama’s weakness is that narcissists actually believe their own bullshit and that of their sycophants and fluffers.
Was it the magic underwear that protected Romney form altitudee sickness? Inquiring minds want to know?

No doubt he believed that he didn’t need prep, because he’s Just That Good. Even if the press had been hard on him, he’d believe it.
I don’t know that he’ll be motivated to get ready in the sense that he’ll try to bone up on the subjects and have some figures handy. He’ll get ready in the sense of revenge and retaliation.
Because it was Romney’s fault that Obama looked bad, and he must pay.

Depends on the spells that were cast during manufacture.
Doy.
All Obama has to do to win the next debate is ask Romney how magnets work.
I feel a hairball coming on …
Ack! Ack!
Speaking of hairballs: Barret Brown indicted
Those quotations from the Declaration and Constitution on the debate stage wall? Cheating.
Expect them to be gone from all following venues.

I’ve read that Romney did all his debate prep in Denver, so he was there for a while…
Poor Barret – whenever you think you’re good, there’s always someone else who is better that will bust you. Its a mistake to believe that all the tech people in the govt are boobs.
sdferr, I don’t think Barry even noticed them until Mitt made a reverant reference to the wall o’ words behind them.
So, yeah. Definately cheating.
“Honest. It was the altitude. Lehrer boned me. I had no teleprompter. I was distracted. John Kerry’s shitty prep. I was being modest. It was my anniversary. The crowd was disrespectful. I was taken out of context. Bush! The weather! Foreign affairs! ATMs! Congress! Party of No! Racism! Tsunami! Romney cheated! Locusts!
It wasn’t my fault!! I swearrr too Gaaaahhhhhdddddd!!!!!”
If Romney had cheated by using a hanky that would make him a fabulous cheater (90 min worth of notes on a hanky?) and we need someone that clever (or evil genius-y) in the White House.
The thing about all of the Left’s excuses is that they make Obama look incompetent. Obama vists CO all the time, so he should have factored his physical response to high altitude into his arrival time. If he’s “too nice” to confront Romney, or “didn’t want to look like an angry black man,” then how the hell can he stand up to Putin, A-jad, Al Qeda, etc.? If he was distracted by some bad news/bad intel, then is he really equipped to handle the constant stress of handling multiple president-level issues? They’ll say anything to avoid the reality that their god bleeds.
Quite obviously Obama just isn’t up to the demands of the job. A couple of wars and he gets distracted? Hell, those wars were there when he got there. Think how the soldiers in the field must feel. Worse yet, think how poor Chris Stevens must have felt when he realized he was going home to Jesus in an untimely manner.
It’s probably best if he just decides to withdraw into obscurity.
They’ll say anything to avoid the reality that their god bleeds.
Not saying your wrong, but…

Now that you mention it, Obama is reminding me of Daniel Dravot more and more.

Untrue. That only happens during GABF weekend…
– All that remains is for Hervé Villechaize to waddle out onto the debate stage and point upward, bouncing up and down like a beach ball at a football game, and shouting “Dee plane, dee plane.”
– I mean, what the hell, the Left have all retreated to Fantasy Island long ago.
– Squid needs to think seriously about adding the amazing technicolor Kung-fu Hanky(tm) to his line of unruly mob hardware.
Frailty, thy name is Obama.
Notes.
Heh.
– My newest indoor sport is head explosion exercises ober at HuffPoop. All the brain-dead Proggies are glibbering about the faked job numbers, so I posted this:
– “Every administration games unemployment numbers, and its true enough that Obama desperately needed some sort of positive news after the debate disaster. But while you’re busily looking for any straw to grasp you might give some thought about what happens when you push it too far. Think of all those millions of unemployed people out there struggling just to survive who’ve just been told they don’t exist. That could prove important come election day.”
– Its like dropping a grenade into a swimming pool filled with tapioca pudding.
