| Mitt Romney dominated and Barack Obama stumbled in Denver Wednesday night. What went right for Romney and wrong for the president? These things: Romney arrived with a strategic plan; Obama didn’t. Romney was quick on his feet; Obama slow on his feet. Romney showed EQ as well as IQ; Obama didn’t. Let's take them in reverse order. Emotional Intelligence vs. Plain Old Intelligence. Romney, the multimillionaire, arrived in a suit, shirt and tie that looked like they’d been purchased at Macy’s. I doubt he’ll ever wear them again, but for one night, he looked the way most non-zillionaires look when they dress for business.

Fianlly America can see the Emperor truly has no clothes. To comment on Romney's suit is classic mental disease from a liberal. Romney could have shown up in jeans and whooped Obama. Obama has gotten a free ride all his life and borrowing from Alfred E. Neumann, Obama didn't prepare at all...."what, me work?"

Poor David is trying to figure out why his Obamessiah was so lame last night.
I've got news for you, David. Your guy just isn't that smart. Absent a fawning press helping him and his trusty teleprompter, he is about as knowledgeable about the economy as the local WalMart greeter. Maybe, as an Affirmative Action concession, we should allow Axelrod to prepare the questions and Obama to use his teleprompter for the next debate.

David Frum...former Republican...turned sour puss democrat lover. Non-relevant person if I ever saw one. I could care less what he thought of Romney's suit. I thought he looked great, but as #4 said, it really didn't matter what he wore, he still would have whipped Obama, hands down!

Hi David, just wanted to let you know that there were many of us that had to listen to the audio of the debate and weren't able to see the Macy's suit you refer to. That said, your guy still lost. Optics be darned, facts are facts. Your guy is not entitled to his own facts. I saw the photos this morning and your guy did look nice however, except for that perpetual smirk/scowl thing he had going on. Did that come from Macy's?

A flaming Obot scrambling around trying to find the pony.
I wouldn't be surprised to hear some of the lines he's trying to feed to The Once turning up in the next debate. Except that it won't be on the economy. Oh, woe.
The only thing dumber than this pathetic piece is Albore's contention that it was the altitude in Denver that dulled Obama.
I'd say it was his ignorance of the facts required to run his office and the absence of a teleprompter, which could only have fed him what he already had: A bunch of loose talking points from which he had to try to pull a few that fit the topic.

David offers more non sequiturs and spin like this about Romney needing a new accountant "He’s got you paying a lower tax rate than the White House cleaning staff!"
Of course there is an easy answer. "Well, Mr. President, if you understood our economy you would know that we encourage people to invest in business by providing a favorable tax rate when they do. Those investments generate business and jobs. That's what I do with my money, invest it into the economy to create jobs. It's similar to the way that people put money into a savings account and it is made available for people to borrow for things like mortgages. That's how our economy works Mr. President."
Liberals like David and BO are clueless about the whole process so are prime to sounding stupid, as BO found out last night.

During the debate, did I hear correctly that the pResident used Lincoln (continental railroad) and Eisenhower (interstate highway system) as models of bold vision projects (by Republicans) on par with Johnson's Great Society? Is he equating Obamacare with those projects?
Did either of the first two projects approach $16 billion, with results still not obvious? I would love to see the equivalent $$/percentage of GDP comparisons.

Mr. Gore: The altitude in Denver is Zero.
The ELEVATION is 5,280' +-.
No matter where you are standing you have zero altitude unless you are above ground level.

Let me get this straight. Obama lost because:
1. Romney wore a cheaper suit than he did? 2. He looked down instead of the at Romney? 3. He wasn't as warm and engaging as Romney? 4. He allowed Romney to confuse him with facts? 5. Romney has a "Hugely unpopular economic plan?
It couldn't have had anything to do with the fact that 60% of the American people don't want Obamacare or that his stimulus solution to the economy hasn't worked the last three times he tried it, so he's going to try it again or because the economy in general is in a death spiral of his making or that he hasn't got a clue as to how to conduct foreign policy or people are tired of the Chicago style corruption of his regime. Nah, it couldn't be any of those things.

Obama and minions have spent the last few years creating inside their pea sized brains a Romney that doesn't exist. They believe their own lies. So, the REAL Romney shows up to debate, laying out the arena of conservative ideas, and Marxism has nothing to argue. Without lies, the democrats have nothing.

What the heck does a suit look like that was purchased at Macy's? And what kind of real man can even tell the difference? And what's wrong with a Macy's suit anyway? Libs are such elitist snobs.

Didn't Mrs Romney say she bought some of his dress shirts at Costco? I don't think the Romney's are all that concerned about where they buy their clothes or which designer they are wearing. I suspect they are more concerned about getting value for their money. That would be nice to have in a President, in my opinion, and something we don't have now.

HIGHLANDS, NJ — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said Monday that President Obama "has kept every promise he´s made" about helping the state recover from Hurricane Sandy. Speaking on MSNBC´s "Morning Joe" program on the 6-month anniversary of the deadly storm, the Republican governor said presidential politics were the last thing on his mind as he toured storm-devastated areas with Obama last fall. "The president has kept every promise he´s made," said Christie, widely considered a potential candidate for the republican presidential nomination in 2016. "I think he´s done a good job. He kept his word."

Tamerlan Tsarnaev was on welfare, sponsored by tax payers. Tsarnaev, now dead, is suspected of bombing the Boston Marathon last week. "Marathon bombings mastermind Tamerlan Tsarnaev was living on taxpayer-funded state welfare benefits even as he was delving deep into the world of radical anti-American Islamism, the Herald has learned," reports the Boston Herald. "State officials confirmed last night that Tsarnaev, slain in a raging gun battle with police last Friday, was receiving benefits along with his wife, Katherine Russell Tsarnaev, and their 3-year-old daughter.

“He looks like me,” my son, Shibli, 10, said as we looked at a photo of a young Dzhokhar Tsarnaev flash upon the TV screen Friday night. Indeed, with his innocent eyes and rumple of dark curly hair, he did. As an American, a Muslim, a mother, and an aunt to a nephew on the cusp of manhood, my heart just broke for yet another boy lost in our Muslim community, taking with him the lives of others. Enough, enough, enough, I say, with the CYA—Cover Your A**—strategy in our Muslim communities.

Boudin, 69, this year won another academic laurel — being named the Sheinberg Scholar-in-Residence at NYU Law School, where last month she gave a lecture on “the politics of parole and re-entry.” Boudin’s bounce-back into respectability after her 2003 parole comes to light a week before the release of Robert Redford’s movie

The dam protecting the IRS scandal began to crack today when Lois Lerner, the IRS official who announced, and apologized for, the improper singling out of conservative-leaning organizations by IRS employees under her command, announced through her criminal defense lawyer that she will not testify as scheduled tomorrow before the House Oversight Committee. Rather, she will assert her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. This marks an enormous milestone in the IRS investigation. It can now be taken as more or less established that crimes were committed by Obama administration employees. Lerner’s lawyer tried to minimize the significance

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

But it was only a brief sighting since she didn´t stay long at a House hearing to further probe her role in how some IRS workers came to target conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. (Snip)She did make a short statement to declare her innocence, however. Lerner´s motivation was more transparent than much of what the IRS has done in connection with this controversy.

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

The fact that this bit of information was conveyed to the protesters by a Department of Homeland Security officer who was also in attendance. What was a DHS agent doing at the San Jose Tea Party protest? (snip) they weren´t just spying on us in San Jose and monitoring us in San Francisco, they were watching us throughout the entire state
