Post one excuse you heard for Obama's poor debate performance

And you can't blame Bush. Let's see how many excuses the left has for their Messiah's imperfect performance. Reference the excuse with a link if you can.

One thing we now know is the way not to prepare for a debate. Doing interviews with:

Entertainment Tonight, People Magazine, The View, Miami DJ The Pimp With a Limp, Half Time interview with ESPN2, David Letterman, Jimmy Falon and Glamour Magazine while not having a news conference in about 7 months just doesn't cut it!

The "eye candy" strategy may work with The View ladies and their audience but it's a weak debate strategy! For those of you who don't watch The View (I don't blame you) he said on the View “I've been told I'm just eye candy here”! (what a zinger he could have used in the debate but then on the other hand I' sure he felt it was self evident)

 

Al Gore blamed it on hypobaropathy.

It other words, Obama's debate performance was the latest casualty of climate change. (zing)

 

I heard one of the poverty pimpin' race hustlers on TV say that Obi-dobi couldn't fight back....he didn't want to be perceived as the "angry black man"...

 

Well said.
Interesting that just last night I was talking about this with my brother.
All of the folks that say he is an idiot, and without the teleprompter he falls flat on his face is incorrect. Go to youtube and look at past debates and the few and rare interviews where he was challenged (O'Reilly for instance) - he did well....but that was years ago.
I believe what has happened to Obama is the same thing that happens to movie stars - they are surrounded by admirers and people who believe they can do no wrong - they begin to believe their own hype.
Obama believes his own hype.

 

Can't remember who said it, but one of his campaign staff suggested that Obama had dignified reserve as befitting a president.

That was a good one!

 

What poor debate performance?
It is all just "left" wing controlled media hype.

 

Bill Maher...During his opening monologue tonight, Bill Maher admitted he was not happy with how President Obama did during his first big debate this week. He told his audience that Obama undeniably “sucked” during the debate, and surmised that the million dollars he gave to the campaign was probably spent on weed.

Wait a minute, isn't that why he gave a million? He should know what they do with other people's money by now, doesn't he? - I think he should anty up another million, it's obvious he just didn't give them enough!

 

an old classmate said he must have the flu.
NY Times said he has lost his passion.
Washington Post -
He got screwed by Jim Lehrer
He’s not that good a debater
He was tired: Obama looked world-weary at best and downright grim at worst during the debate.
He’s not used to being challenged

ooops, that was more than one.
