Then riddle me this Batman... why is it that people who snow ski at Copper Mountain or Keystone or the other Colorado mountains are able to make decisions on how to turn while speeding down the mountain... at a much higher elevation than Obama was?

Obama didn't have his teleprompter.. ergo.. he was dazed and confused.

4 years is a long night.
Soon it will be morning in America.

No, he didn't consume a Monster energy drink.

I thought it was 0bama's attitude. Maybe that's what Kerry meant.

John Kerry always seems like the altitude is affecting him, even at sea level.

He may have been coming down from something. He's normally an aggressive, nasty thing and he wasn't himself during the first debate.

Or gin soaked raisins? Oops, call Chrissie Matthews, is raisins racist?

Kerry, what a maroon!

It wasn't the altitude. It's that Zero practiced against a half-wit gigolo, which lulled him into a false sense of security, and then he had to debate a diligent, brilliant, accomplished businessman. (Everything that Jon F'n Carrion is not.)

Wow, what a suck up.

Kerry, man up and just ASK him for the job.

/contempt off/

It certainly couldn't have been Jon Cary's debate prep for him.

Of course it was the altitude. Obama holds his nose so high that the air he breathes has less oxygen. That's the price of being disdainful of the rest of humanity.

John Kerry hasn't had a serious thought in a long time.

I posted previously that I had watched the debate (via YouTube on my Apple TV) days after reading all of the comments. I thought President Obama was far more effective in the first debate than he was given credit for - far more. Where he was far less effective was the final debate - he absolutely looked un-presidential.

Some folks may recall the 1990 AFC Championship game between the Broncos and the Browns ("The Fumble" game). The Browns asked, and received, permission from the NFL to arrive in Denver only 24 hours before the game, when 48 hours were stipulated by league rules.

The reason, according to team doctors, was because the less time you spend in the altitude prior to your performance, the less the altitude will affect your performance.

Seems that Zero and his co-dependents really don't understand altitude and performance. (In more ways than one).

It wasn't the marathon, Thurston, it was a debate!

Just a brief FACT : President Obama lied about
an article that Mr Romney had written in the New York Times related to the GM bankruptcy,
during the third debate. The truth about Mr. Romney's article was immediately brought out by various media. The next day, at a campaign event, Obama repeated the lie. In a nutshell, this is the man who is our president. Totally
unworthy with low morals, low ethics, and a high capacity to tell lies for his own ends.

While Obama is blaming John Kerry for his poor performance in Debate One, and John Kerry is in turn blaming Denver's high altitude, the people of Colorado seem to be blaming the Democrats for insulting Denver by implying it's not a good place for people to use their brains effectively.

As if the citizens of mile-high Denver must have to go through life with lower IQs than those who live in cities with lower altitudes, like Detroit.

A month ago, before the debates, polls were showing Obama leading Romney in Colorado by 6 points; in the latest poll, Romney is leading Obama by 4 points. It's not going to help Obama if John Kerry keeps bringing up the altitude issue, but can anyone keep him quiet?

Senator Kerry will be taken more seriously after he pays the taxes on his mis-placed yacht. In the meantime, our family always uses
Hunts, not Heinz, products. Our small protest.

Hi folks. We peasants know that the oxygen level in the twilight zone is certainly rarified. And by the way, we also now know we have finally found an honest Judge. Early this week, Sherry K Reid of the superior court in Indianapolis admitted into evidence exhibits and testimony of two expert witnesses on Zeros forged birth certificate, selective service certificate and a fraudulently obtained CT social security card. Over extremely rigorous objection by the defense. Orly Taitz was there. Decision by the court on the case expected within a week. More info on this will be posted on her website.

John "I served in Vietnam" Kerry, it wasn't the altitude, dude, it was the attitude.

If my memory serves me and hasn't been destroyed due to my many plane flights, aren't jets (including AF One) pressurized at the equivalent altitude of something like 8,000 feet above sea level due to the structural limitations of aluminum bodies? And if they are isn't 8,000 feet higher that mile high city and if so shouldn't Obama be a total wreck each time he departs AF One if this "altitude" excuse holds thin air? Maybe all his time in AF One is the reason he is always confused, distracted and needing others to say what he really means.

Johnny BOY, it wasn't altitude, but it was a lack of Oxygen. When one has his head in a dark place it's hard to breathe!

And to think both of these guys, Kerry and Gore came close to being our president. Both total idiots

The man really wants to replace Shillary.

The man was out of it in the first debate.
Call it what you like.

Barry loves to fly around on Air Force One when he goes on his apology tours. What is the effective altitude inside a pressurized cabin?

Hint: ''cabin altitude'' is about 6,000 - 8,000 ft depending on the aircraft. .

If it was held at Death Valley what would have been the excuse? For some people it the economy. For others it's the economy coupled with foreign policy. Personally, I just can't stand the sound of that voice and the condescending sneer. Will never forget when he vanquished The Hildabeast and said that "years from now we will remember this as the moment the seas started to fall and the planet started to heal" or something like that. You have to go back to Caligula to find an ego so massive that he believes he's divine. At least Carter and Slick were American.

Nonsense! Obama has been a lot "higher" than the mile-high city--many, many times.

What Gore said with a grin in a "for what it's worth" spirit, Kerry says with seriousness and commitment.

When your feet are on the ground you have zero altitude.

When you snark and snooze in Denver you have 5000' of elevation.

It's a word thing.

Al Gore and John Kerry think it was climate change. Oil companies. Halliburton. Dick Cheney. George Bush.

You guys are paying attentionto Lurch again! Just ignore him and you'll be alot happier.

The altitude didn't seem to bother the Emperor at his convention speech in 2008 when he read from a teleprompter what is supposedly the greatest speech in recent history.

Poor John Kerry. Clearly he's eaten so many of the gin soaked raisins recommended by the whack job he married that his mind is permanently in limbo. Between him and the insane woman who supports his million dollar sailboats and other lifestyle choices, as well as ginned up raisins by the jar full...well, what's to do except give thanks to God for having prevented his election.
