Gore Blames Altitude for
Obama's Debate Woes

Weekly Standard, by Daniel Halper

Original Article

Posted By:BaseballFan, 10/4/2012 8:45:01 AM

"Obama arrived in Denver at 2 p.m. today — just a few hours before the debate started," Gore said on his network, Current. "Romney did his debate prep in Denver. When you go to 5,000 feet, and you only have a few hours to adjust, I don't know..." "The president had an off night," a pundit on the liberal network said.

Comments:
Wow. WOW. What can I say?

Staff: that's the entire article, but it includes a video snip.

Gosh, I woulda expected that even if Dear Leader(US)'s belt broke and his pants fell to the floor, and he heaved a booger at Lehrer, the media whores would have still called this an amazingly effective performance.

Even listening to Serpent Head Carville bash Obama, well, I figured that his loyalties were with the Clintons so that he had no compunction in saying the emperor wore no clothes.

And I think that Romney did okay, nothing spectacular, but Obama did so, so, so poorly, it looks like a home run.

My guess is Candy Crowley is getting her instructions right now for the next show. "Don't let Obama look bad if youse knows whats good for yas," says Ma Cutter from the campaign.

Yeah Al, he should have debated from the presidential oxygen tent, but Valerie Jarrett forgot to pack it.

Oh well, perhaps for the next debate he can wear shoulder pads and get made up like Ronald Regan like you did and walk around the stage breathing into Romney's face, you big dope.

As high up in the clouds as the preezy's head normally is, one mile up should have been a piece of cake.

Altitude doesn't seem to bother Obama for fundraising or teleprompting during his Greek column event in 2008. Lack of air? No. More like lack of ideas, lack of facts, lack of logic, lack of soul.

Obama is a total, 100%, red-diaper fraud.

Algore is just plain wrong. Didn't Obama spend three or four days at a posh resort with a fabulous golf course? I saw photos over the weekend. It was a Westin like the one in Scottsdale.

There was no altitude problem...Snarky just coming down off some drugs he'd been using...and actual altitude had nothing to do with it.

For Obama, it gets really, really hard to breathe when your record and ideas have that rotten-egg/spoiled-potato aroma at any altitute.

Oh my. That is hilarious. Have the next debate in Vegas. Then Romney can kick Obama's butt at a low altitude.

Now what else can I add to the list?

Gore, you're a fool, but keep talking--you're making somebody somewhere look like a genius!

The Oval Office is at or near sea-level Al - so how do you explain Obama's performance over the last 4 years?

Personally, I think that Obama was distracted by reports of ManBearPig sightings in the Denver area.

My own theory is that Empty Chair had been choom partying in Vegas for the past few days, and was just coming down.

What we saw was the mannerisms and coherence of a habitual choomer.

Earlier today I wondered out loud if some broken down leftist would blame Obama's juvelile debate performance on the altitude, and Al Goresh didn't disappoint. I guess this means that the Lightworker (with the light daily workload) and the Linebacker won't be joining the Mile High Club anytime soon. You know Zippy'd be there if he had Reggie, though.

For the most uncompromising and entertaining look at the "debate" go to Kevin DuJan's post-debate commentary at Hillbuzz.org. He thinks that one of the two participants is coming down off hard drugs. Since good Mormons don't do drugs (or alcohol or even caffeine), that kind of narrows it down.

Denver's so high up I wonder how people manage to drive from Kansas to Denver and still navigate I-70? How do thousands of airline passengers fly into Denver and actually find their way to where they're going? I give Gore 1 point for imagination.


Reply 33 - Posted by: vulcanrider, 10/4/2012 12:58:26 PM     (No. 8909434)

AlGore seems to have forgotten that Barack was in Vegas "prepping" for the debate, at anywhere from 2200-2500 feet above sea level. So, his entire increase was around 2500 feet. No way it made a difference despite what the ManBearPig might believe in his scientifically challenged world.


Reply 34 - Posted by: udanja99, 10/4/2012 12:59:40 PM     (No. 8909438)

While I don't think altitude is any kind of excuse, I do know that I get terrible altitude sickness whenever I go to Denver, Santa Fe, etc. Romney arrived in Denver three days before the debates while zippy flew in at the last minute. Bad planning on the 0bama team if they didn't take the altitude into consideration.


Reply 35 - Posted by: chagrined, 10/4/2012 12:59:49 PM     (No. 8909439)

My, my, but algore is off his game. He could've hit a homerun and explained why global warming was the cause of hussein's dismal night, which in turn would prove AGW existed! And how, you may ask yourself, could this be so?

Simple, due to global warming (the manmade stuff, of course) the water on hussein's brain rose to such a level he couldn't think straight! QED baby!

algore has never had to worry about altitude sickness himself as on functioning brain cell has little in the way of oxygen requirements. The only thing that might have affected 0bama's performance wasn't the altitude but was all those choom fumes over the years.

That's Gore's fault for not warning Obama about the hazards of Denver.

O and his groupies have spent so many vacations in Aspen (nearly twice Denver's altitude), maybe it was the LOWER altitude that gave him the bends.

Also, I wonder how the majority of his Colorado supporters (who happen to live in Denver) will take to their fair city being blamed for his lousy performance.

Colorado sheriffs suing
over gun control measures
Associated Press, by Staff    Original Article
Posted By: BaseballFan- 5/16/2013 8:13:20 PM     Post Reply
DENVER - A group of Colorado sheriffs unhappy with recent gun control laws are planning to file a lawsuit to block them. The sheriffs have called a Friday morning news conference to detail their federal challenge. The lawmen said they would challenge two new laws, one limiting the size of ammunition magazines and another law to expand gun background checks. The laws were passed earlier this year in response to mass shootings in Aurora and at a school in Connecticut. Not all sheriffs opposed the bills, but some were frequent visitors to the state Capitol in an effort to prevent the gun controls.

Washington - Boston Mayor Tom Menino says information he has indicates that the suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing acted alone. Menino tells ABC's "This Week" that he agreed with the decision to lock down Boston all day Friday, based on information officials had at the time. He tells ABC's "This Week" that a pipe bomb was found at another location and that another person was taken into custody. The mayor did not elaborate. One suspect, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev (joh-KHAR' tsahr-NEYE'-ehv), is in the hospital in serious condition. His older brother, Tamerlan, died in a police shootout

Gun control backers:

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama and his gun control allies say Senate rejection of expanded background checks and other restrictions won´t stop their drive to reduce firearms violence. But their path to enacting gun curbs this year seems blocked by the National Rifle Association, and supporters of restrictions appear befuddled about what it will take to push legislation through this Congress. The Senate planned to vote Thursday on two more amendments to a gun control bill. One by Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., would cut aid to state and local governments that release information on gun owners.

William Strickland waited for his grandfather to step out of his South Side home to take his paratransit ride to a kidney dialysis appointment early March 2, authorities said Saturday — then stood behind the 72-year-old man, shot him six times in the back and stole his wallet, leaving him to die just steps from his home. Prosecutors said Saturday that Strickland, 19, used the money he took from his grandfather, who also was named William Strickland, to pay for new gym shoes, a cellphone and tattoos. The teen had no criminal history but was an admitted gang member, they said.

The Second Amendment´s guarantee of a right to bear arms does not extend to the right to carry a concealed weapon in public, a federal appeals court in Denver has ruled. "We conclude that the carrying of concealed firearms is not protected by the Second Amendment . . ." Justice Carlos Lucero wrote on behalf of a three-judge panel of the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Lucero cited case law dating to the 1800s that put restrictions on walking around in public with a gun. "In light of our nation's extensive practice of restricting citizens' freedom to carry firearms in a concealed manner,

Washington - The National Rifle Association is using a Justice Department memo it obtained to argue in ads that the Obama administration believes its gun control plans won´t work unless the government seizes firearms and requires national gun registration — ideas the White House has not proposed and does not support. (Snip) Justice Department and White House officials declined to provide much information about the memo or answer questions about it on the record. The memo has the look of a preliminary document and calls itself "a cursory summary" and assessment of gun curb

Officials on Benghazi:

Obama administration officials who were in key positions on Sept. 11, 2012, acknowledge that a range of mistakes were made the night of the attacks on the U.S. missions in Benghazi, and in messaging to Congress and the public in the aftermath. The officials spoke to CBS News in a series of interviews and communications under the condition of anonymity so that they could be more frank in their assessments. They do not all agree on the list of mistakes and it's important to note that they universally claim that any errors or missteps did not cost lives and reflect "incompetence rather than malice or cover up.

Watching President Obama trying to dodge raindrops and responsibility yesterday reminded me of the moment when Dorothy pulls back the curtain and discovers that the Wizard of Oz is “just a man.” Stripped of his spell of mystery and power, the wizard is worse than mortal. He’s a fake. So it was with Obama in the Rose Garden. His performance was tired and trite, ordinary to the point of dull. His veneer of passion was so transparent that you could see him trying to summon his old-time magic by pushing the buttons

STANDING BEFORE reporters Thursday, President Obama declined an invitation to compare the recent scandals weighing down his administration with those that forced President Nixon to resign in 1974. So allow us to do the work for him: There is no comparison. Nixon, in a series of crimes that collectively came to be known as Watergate, directed from the White House and Justice Department a concerted campaign against those he perceived as political enemies, in the process subverting the FBI, the IRS, other government agencies and the electoral process to his nefarious purposes. Mr. Obama has done nothing of the kind.

The State Department, under Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton, created an arrangement for her longtime aide and confidante Huma Abedin to work for private clients as a consultant while serving as a top adviser in the department. Ms. Abedin did not disclose the arrangement — or how much income she earned — on her financial report. It requires officials to make public any significant sources of income. An adviser to Mrs. Clinton, Philippe Reines, said that Ms. Abedin was not obligated to do so. The disclosure of the agreement that Ms. Abedin made with the State Department comes as her husband,

In the wake of one of the worst abuses of government power in recent history, many are rushing to frame the Internal Revenue Service scandal as simply an attack on conservative activists. That view risks creating a partisan political football and misses a fundamentally scarier abuse that exceeds the scandals of Watergate or any other prior government abuse. The IRS has admitted that since May 2010 it targeted grassroots-conservative organizations that had applied for tax-exempt status, unfairly subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny due to their political leanings. Such groups were told they were required to comply with IRS requests,

President Obama’s press conference in the rain was not a success, if by success, his supporters would mean an event which convinces anyone who doesn’t work for him that he’s getting ahead of the scandal deluge. The sight of a Marine holding an umbrella over his head only added to the weirdness of the event. So what did we learn? 1.

The lawmaker leading the charge to investigate the Benghazi terror attack on Friday subpoenaed the co-author of a report that slammed the State Department but didn´t interview Hillary Clinton. House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) formally demanded that retired ambassador Thomas Pickering submit to being deposed by the committee next Thursday. The subpoena comes in the wake of a series of acrimonious public exchanges this week between the two men. Issa didn´t issue a subpoena to former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Michael Mullen, who co-authored the Benghazi report with Pickering.
