That was a very concise list! It’s pretty much what went down.

I can’t speak to the relative hankieness of your ass but the YouTube video you linked to shows what appears to me to be a folded up handkerchief. Notice that it flops around as it falls from his hand to the lectern. A piece of paper wouldn’t have enough mass to be distorted by gravity in that manner. A folded cloth hankie does.

It seems they found video “evidence” on this mythical, non-handkerchief cheat sheet.

WOW!, Let’s look at Obama’s …Pre-election (with in 33 days of voters balloting) ACCOMPLISHMENTS….
UNEMPLOYMENT REDUCED (over-night), but it took 39 months to do it…..”AND a HUGE NEW GOVERNMENT HIRING SPREE”…While Obama is telling Defence Contractors…”DON’T Give out those PINK SLIPS until AFTER the ELECTION….AND THE SPECIAL “”COOPERATION”"”, that is pending , from Obama’s Muslim Friend in the Iranian Capital. …Oil PRICES going DOWN,…While American FUEL PRICES are GOING UP ?????…Golly…Obama has all his Friends (mostly America’s Enemies), working as hard as they can to MANIPULATE and BUFFER Obama to CON… SOME THOUGHTLESS DEMOCRATES to VOTE for Obama’s FAILED LEADESHIP…except at the LAST MOMENT…before they can find out the truth of Obama’s endless LIES and DECEIT.
All of our still FREE AMERICAN VOTERS should REMEMBER…OBAMA began his wunderlust Government Destruction…When he gave a wide open path for the Democratic Congress to take over our health, before creating Rules of Destruction for our Small Businesses, then after the Voters changed the Leadership of the U.S. House of Representatives…the STILL DEMOCRATICALLY CONTROLLED U.S.Senate, FAILED TO ACT and RESPOND to THE NATIONS NEEDS as CLEARLY and RESPONSIBLY provided by the USHOR’s…..ETC,ETC,ETC,
SIMPLE SOLUTION TO THE OBAMA…VOTE HIM OUT OF OFFICE and LET HIM RETURN TO HIS”OTHER WORLD”..in CHICAGO…or Enjoy the 350,000 dollar home his other friends bought for him in Hawaii. Better CHECK and get the Keys to the WHITE HOUSE MENS ROOM from OBAMA first..and make sure he didn’t make a personal copy and hide the key in his shoes…HE WILL PROBABLY ENJOY A SLOW FIRM TOUCHING PAT SEARCH…so be careful.

Obama’s debate performance is all the fault of George Bush

Democrats had it right for a week before the debate: they kept saying Romney is an excellent debater and he came in extremely well prepared, Obama is just ok. For once they told the truth – but now have stopped saying it now that it’s undeniably the truth.

(and when mediocre faces off against terrific, mediocre looks terrible.

You know how Obama hasn’t generally felt the need to attend his intelligence briefings- he just (supposedly) looks at the bullet points? I’m halfway seriously starting to wonder if Obama’s ever read or been briefed on Romney’s actual positions or if he just reads the TelePrompTer and figures that’s enough.

The narrative that has emerged lately from the Obama Administration /Obama friendly media is rather bizarre.
First the administration spoke (apparently derisively) about how much time Romney spent preparing and acted like Obama had barely cracked a book. (though reportedly they played down his actual preparation. Then today politico ran a story saying Obama’s performance is dependent on mood- and quoted someone as saying Obama was never really motivated unless he’s on the edge of destruction.

AND THEY SEEMED TO REGARD ALL THIS AS A GOOD THING!!!

Personally, the LAST thing I want is a President who is only motivated if things are falling apart. Actually, I wouldn’t hire someone like that to walk my dog.

And if I were a Democrat, I’d be really ticked if my candidate decided to go up against a guy who’d survived 20 something debates against Newt Gingrich* armed with nothing but a couple straw man arguments and a bunch of whining.

Clowngirl – there is a lot of truth in what you say. Where exactly did O get this reputation as a great debater? In the 08 primaries against Hillary and Edwards and that great intellect Biden? How about in the general against that great persuader, McCain? Who exactly did he “beat” in a debate. He won his State Assy seat and Senate seat through chicanery, not by espousing better positions.
His reputation as an orator is due to his ability to read a speech. When he is off telepromter, he is nearly as gaffe prone and inept as dear uncle Joe.
Mitt was tested by some serious people. O has never been tested or challenged.
That said the next format works for him. Recall the townhall with McCain. He will repeat the question, then say we have to do three things: 1st- make point, 2nd-make same point with different words, and finally, reiterate point one. Thus making it seem to some that he has articulated some great positions with significant depth.
Watch in a week, and if he does this, remember you saw it here first.

“I saw Romney read out his whole debate from a sheet of paper which he
later was trying to stuff into his Coat pocket – his Coat didn’t have
any – so he gave it to one of his sons to stuff in his own pocket.

His lies were being read from a piece of paper, because, even Mitt Romney cannot lie that well.

If he didn’t have the paper how is he to lie in a way that they don’t Contradict each other?”

This absurdity was from a commenter on a NY TImes article, where similar dumb and deluded things can be found.

Obama is such a punk. Sununu was dead on when he called Obama “detached and lazy”. Obama’s performance and his comments about the debate reek of high school and one of the cool kids smoking pot and making fun of the kids who actually, you know, try to get an education.

That may be the harshest rebuke of Obama’s performance that I have heard.

Mitt Romney used a cheat sheet, already loaded with answers to questions that were known only to Jim Lehrer? Was John Edward divining those questions for him?

University of Wisconsin students believe that BO should have been allowed to use his teleprompter, but without explaining how the answers would get loaded into it so he could read them. Maybe they think he could wrest John Edward away from Romney.
And Obama did badly either because (1) the altitude got to him {from Al Gore} or (2) he was distracted by a mysterious national crisis that he didn’t tell us about {from Bob Woodward}. Of the two, and recognizing that the IQ of Bob Woodward’s big toe is higher than that of Al Gore’s head and his top two advisers combined, I would pick #1 as the more likely of the two if I had to believe one of them. There is no evidence of any kind to support Woodward’s suggestion, but we DO know that the debate was indeed staged in Denver at about 5000 feet elevation.

Here is a sentence that some public commenters are coming closer and closer to uttering: “Barack Obama is President today for the same reason that he was elected Editor of the Harvard Law Review.”

How do you get all those words on a small piece of paper? And how did he know what to write in the first place? Did anybody see him reading from it during the debate? These people are nuts.

Romney 1, Obama ‘present’.

you can’t be serious… but wait… you are.

Well I meant “snot nosed” kid but “knot nosed” works for Obama too.

He got his reputation as a great debater at LibMart the same store where he got his reputation as a centrist, a great mind, a uniter, and a healer. I told a couple black friends back in 2008 that they would live to regret the day they heard of Barack Obama. Its sad that such an empty suit was the first non-white person elected president.

Dems, Dems, Dems……. How many times must I tell you? Never deficate immediately before you pontificate! This will happen every time.

The notion Obama will do better next time is wrong, IMO. I believe the nation saw the real, the true, the only Obama in the context of a debate where he has no inherent advantage.

He was able to beat up on McCain because (a) he was really running against the unpopular GWB, (b) McCain was a weak debater (bottom of his class at Navy), and (c) Obama didn’t have to defend a record of his own.

All those advantages are gone now.

I think Romney hoses him again in Round 2.

Same folks saw GW attend a debate with body armor under his suitcoat, and claimed it was a radio-reciever worn so Karl & Dick could feed him answers…

Maybe he was hoping that somehow his teleprompter was going to magically appear.

This is the reason there’s so little risk of complacency. The thought of what our enemies might do if Obama remains President after showing such contemptible weakness – makes his reelection doubly not an option.
