Last night I watched the debate, and I have to say that Romney totally dominated. Even the liberal media and many of the liberal followers have admitted this. Of course the liberal media has their panties in a knot, and they seem to be doing some soul searching on why it was that Obama underperformed. ”Oh if only Obama had said this or that” or “Why didn’t Obama challenge him on _________?” I can tell you why. Because your man is a dunderhead.
Liberals have commented about how he looked like he didn’t want to be there, and he said he would rather be somewhere else at the beginning. Of course during the preparations for the debate he was talking about how it was boring and complaining that he didn’t get to go outside much. So what does that make him?
Honestly, those kinds of comments are ancillary, and not at the core of the matter. At the heart of the matter Obama is an ill-prepared dunderhead trying to defend a position that is both ideologically unsound and weak. I don’t understand why liberals were surprised by his weak performance. I wasn’t, and to be honest he actually did not do as bad as I thought he would. It’s a well known fact among those who don’t recognize Obama as a deity that this man cannot speak coherently without his teleprompter. Of course a teleprompter is not present in the debate, but it looked like he still had some note cards he was shuffling through (if you paid attention to his hands and eyes).
So one of the complaints the liberal media made was that he never looked at Romney. He either looked down, or he looked at the host. In fact, I saw him looking down a lot with a moping expression on his face. He also failed to address most of Romney’s challenges, opting instead for repeating his talking points over and over again (note cards). I noticed that when he spoke Romney was jotting down notes, which is what you do in a debate so that you can respond to specific points that your opponent is making. Obama did not do this at the beginning but later he did it a bit, or appeared to.
So to answer the question of why Obama didn’t address Romney’s challenges or bring him up on other challenges is simple; Obama is incapable of on the spot synthesis, which also means that his reactions to other situations will be slow, stunted, and inappropriate (and we have seen that). We have seen that in the way he responded to the killing of our ambassador in Libya, and the subsequent Islamic attacks on our embassies around the world. This man is a dunderhead, and I really hope he loses the election. Of course, the die hard socialists are going to vote for him anyways, but most of the intelligent people are going to vote for Romney. He has my vote, even though he is still not what I consider to be an ideal candidate. Neither he nor Obama is going to repeal NDAA, but Romney will at least get rid of the Obamacare and steer us toward energy independence. That is one of the most important things. I should be able to put gas in my car without 1) having to pay over $4 a gallon and 2) worrying about how much of my money will end up in the hands of Islamic terrorists (durka durka!).
