This Was Going to Be an Awesome Column about the Debate (But the Altitude Kicked My Butt)

By Doug Giles / 7 October 2012 / 27 comments

Last week I sent Mitt a note encouraging him not to morph into a McCain-like wuss during the debate. I think he got my email because he Buford Pussered Obama. It was embarrassing. The president looked like I did the first time my mom found my skull-bong in my Chuck Taylor shoebox. Head down … busted.

The greatest joy I had the night of the debate didn’t come from watching the erudite Mormon verbally skin the evasive Marxist for 90 minutes. No, it came after the debate as I watched the talking heads over on MSLSD melt down like the bad witch on the Wizard of Oz.

Good Lord, man. Maddow, Matthews, Sharpton and Schultz cried like little girls. Did you dudes actually believe that Obama and your fairy tales could stand up under credible and heavy scrutiny? You did? Well, then … you’re more deluded than I thought.

The only—and I mean only—way you, your ilk and the president can foist your fables and philosophy on your fools is for them to be parlayed in an uncontested biosphere of bullcrap. However, get your leader in front of the truth and he’ll melt like Liza Minnelli during an Oprah interview. I must admit, though, that your caterwauling was good TV. Matter of fact I think Bravo should start a new reality show called Desperate Talk Show Blowhards of MSNBC. You guys could replace Here Comes Honey Boo Boo. It’s just a thought.

Y’know, I hate to sound like a Monday morning QB, but I knew Obama was in deep weeds when seven minutes into it Romney got, as one of my friends said, that sympathetic grin he used to get whenever Rick Perry spoke. Hot yellow Kool-Aid!

What you witnessed, MSNBC, was a successful Bain Capital exec talking to a sorry Staples store manager who has driven his store into the dirt. Nothing more … nothing less.

Another rather amusing post-debate kabuki show the Left put on was the ridiculous excuses for Obama’s feckless performance during that 90-minute flogging by Romney.

One of my favorites was Al Gore’s “the high altitude got to him”… Obama wasn’t acclimated and thus he was a wee bit discombobulated. First off, Obama’s used to being high; he spent his entire college years Rocky Mountain high. Please. Secondly, didn’t he give his yippee-ki-yay DNC speech back in ‘08 in Denver? I think he did. Google it and get back to me, Al.

Second on my list of favorite excuses regarding Obama’s clock getting cleaned came from Bob Woodward who surmised that Obama was abysmal that night because he received some heavy bad news prior to the debate that had him distracted and upset. This could be a legit reason. Maybe something in the Middle East had gone awry? Nah, that couldn’t be it because after the Benghazi massacre he was able to party with Jay-Z and Beyoncé and fly to Vegas with no problemo whatsoever.

If he was rattled by some disturbing intel before the debate, it was probably the realization that, as of that night, he’s actually been married to Michelle for 20 years. That revelation would fluster even the toughest of men.

Finally, as much as I was delighted in Romney running circles around Obama that night, the one thing that put me off the most was that I wanted Obama to debate using that black preacher voice he used in that infamous race-baiting/class warfare video from 2007, and yet … he didn’t do it.

And for that I am sad.

I enjoyed all the MSM freaking out about how bad he did. It was funny.

WHOA! OBAMA LOOKED LIKE A CHILD IN TROUBLE!
- Rachel
  
  He IS a child in trouble…a lazy petulant child with a big mouth who never stops talking hoping you might not notice he’s not doing his homework.
  - NHConstitutionalist
    
    If he had grown up in Chigago, NYC, or the Barrio he’s the kid who’s face they would have kicked sand in. However, he was primed and programed to be the Manchurian president, tucked away until the time was right.
    Bright??? Not as bright as the media wants us to beieve. Articulate??? only if your as ignorant and gullible as the media hopes you are, and you have a proclivity to swallow BS.
    O is just a Chicago punk in an expensive suit. He reminds me of the title of a 50′s song, “The Great Pretender.”.
    - Rachel
      
      I agree 100%. It’s amazing what a deep professorial voice, a million dollar smile and audacity can do for a man with a barely mediocre mind.

Classic, as only Doug can tell it.

Bye,Bye Chris Matthews without Obama you fade to a fat faced second rate commentator with a second rate show sorry but not really! Oh by the way FOX NEWS is not looking for any network rejects maybe staples will hire you, President ROMNEY will give you a good recomendation.

  Loved the skit that Jay Leno did on his show… having Chris Matthews in a strait-jacket while doing his ranting and raving, and having the men in white coats come and take him away! Yes, they’re coming to take me away, yay!

I must admit, I did something I have not done since Scott Walker won Wisconsin….again. I tuned into MSNBC.

Its fun to watch the evil one squirm along with all the vermin he drags along with him. Trouble is, it matters not how stupid he looks without his teleprompter, they will still vote for their court jester.
del

He showed exactly what I have thought about Mr. ugly for 4 years….no class, no competence, no knowledge, and no leadership skills….It astounded me that anyone voted for the bufoon!

The empty suit body language was fantastic!
- Rachel
  
  He kept looking at his shoes. I figure he was just checking to see how big the puddle was after he peed his pants— because he realized he was embarrassingly outclassed.

As I listened to the debate I found onlly one thing disappointing in Romneys otherwise superb roasting of the fraud in the white house—–It was rumored that he would put his finger to his nose every time Obozzo spoke a mistruth. Unfortunately he did not do this and It left me disappointed until I realized, after a few minutes, that he would have had his hand on his nose all evening and that would have been tiresome,

I wonder if he had to have a teleprompter to get through college, or did he just buy a degree on-line, paid for by foreign sources?
- SniperToo
  
  Dan, I wonder the same thing. I truly believe this bum does not have a degree, only in being a pathological liar. he probably received an A+ for that.

If his supporters can’t see him for the fraud that he is after his nonperformance at the debate there is no hope for them. He has spent the last 4 yrs playing on the taxpayers dime. Time to send him home, wherever that is.
- Rachel
  
  there IS no hope for them. The hope is there are more of us than them.
NHConstitutionalist

Romney was Romney and that was the best part. I did not have to see another fraud pander and morph into what he is not. Romney is a gentleman and that takes strength of character, confidence, and self control. Everyone was clammering be strong knock the fool out and in the beginning I did too. But I stopped, and long enough to hear the words from the past from the greatest debater Daniel Webster, “Nothing is stronger than the TRUTH” And then the knock down came like a bolt. Obama and his minions can’t stand up to the light of truth and with persion timing that lightening bolt knocked him on his asster, and rains came down and pisssed on his parade.
You know it could be the alititude, of the exhaulted height they placed their CIC Collutionist In Corruption on. He fell off his high horse and lost the reins of that nag.
- Rachel
  
  Confidence is the right word to describe Romney. He has it in spades because he has a long track record of calling all the right shots and having one success after another. Barry on the other hand has no confidence…he only has audacity.

I am suprised that the silly libs didn’t say that Obama’s dog ate his debate notes.
- Rachel
  
  Maybe that’s why he ate the dog.

Yep ODUMBA got his butt kicked real good ,,,,,,,,,

“it was probably the realization that, as of that night, he’s actually been married to Michelle for 20 years.” That wouldn’t cause him to be flustered, that’d cause him to commit public suicide! But then, I repeat myself.

What must the World expect from an American Nobel Peace Prize President with a well known but personal HIT LIST?
Steven Janiszewski

During the first debate, Mitt
Romney’s theme was consistent and simple:
States’ Rights. He defined the election as a battle between States
Rights and Big Federal Government. That plays well for him in the
individual Swing States. And he means it. As a Mormon, Romney
idolizes States’ Rights. To gain an existential understanding of the
cult that produced Mitt Romney, and to get your socks scared off,
read The Assassination of Spiro Agnew, available
in paperback and e-book at:

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=The+Assassination+of+Spiro+Agnew

Its unwilling, part-Mexican Mormon assassin dramatizes the Mormon
superiority complex, manifesting it as racism, sexism, jingoism and
an anti-federal government temperament. His research in the new
library reveals ominous similarities between Islam and
Mormonism. The spiritual power behind the cult, which is not the Holy
Ghost, acts out.

“With a clarity of language and
vision unsurpassed in contemporary American prose, Steven
Janiszewski’s Assassination of Spiro Agnew takes us into a
U.S. mazed with madness and Mormonism and all things Utah, a U.S.
that was then and still is. Readers, welcome to a masterpiece.”

The Sandy Hook Massacre

The Sandy Hook Massacre: When Seconds Count, the Police are Minutes Away:

"Doug Giles and his team over at ClashDaily.com cut through the crap to expose what have become modern day human slaughter houses: gun free zones. Their candid arguments about allowing teachers to protect themselves and the students in their care through concealed carry should be taken seriously. As a result maybe, just maybe, we’ll be able to save some lives someday rather than call the cops to report the body count." - Katie Pavlich. News Editor,Townhall.com and NYT's Best-selling Author, Fast and Furious: Barack Obama's Bloodiest Scandal and Its Shameless Cover-Up

"There were many lessons to draw from the horrific Newtown, CT school shooting. Unfortunately, most of the media and political Left came up with the wrong ones. But not Doug Giles and his writers over at ClashDaily.com. In the wake of this horror, they offered a robust defense of American citizens' right to bear arms and common sense answers to societal violence. The Sandy Hook Massacre: When Seconds Count, the Police are Minutes Away is a great resource for those interested in this vital, Constitutional issue." - S.E. Cupp, MSNBC Host and The Blaze Contributor
