I squirmed watching last night's debate, Obama definitely
not in his A game, almost appearing to be subliminally saying, this job is
impossible, here, you take it. Going
through the motions of a "debate" he allowed Romney to lead him and
the moderator, Jim Lehrer, failed to rein him in when
necessary. Romney is slick and well
scripted, but in a free for all debate, with no one to challenge anything other
than the opponent, both sides were throwing out numbers and some preposterous
claims. Still, I think the preponderance of the truth was on
Obama's side and why he did not more vigorously dispute some of Romney's
points, is a mystery. FactCheck.org has a good summary of all the hyperbole.
The O's lost last night, Obama and the Orioles. But they both get another chance.
