| "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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church.
