White chicks and colored boys; must be Northern Virginia.

If it wasn't for the blurred TV video of the debate in the back, I'd have sworn that was a still for some yet-to-be-released prime time network apocalyptic drama involving young people.
They were shocked by Obama's flaccid performance.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Talk about really bringing on the "flip-flop" commentary! Who was it that was deemed a waffle during the 1990s? Can we dig those cartoons up and just re-brand them?

So some commentators  are hinting that Obama was distracted, perhaps with something he was told before the debate--perhaps a national security issue.

On the radio I heard again (it was mentioned here already I think) it was the altitude that affected Obama because he flew in just a few hours before.

There was definitely something going on. Hopefully he can get back on track next time.

I wish he'd bomb somebody. The news is: boring.

I've also heard it was a soon-to-break (today or Monday) news story from a major news publication about a huge Obama fundraising scandal.  Which smells of BS, but not significantly more so that all the other proposed excuses for Obama's poor performance.

I loved Jon Stewart making fun of Obama's performance in the debate and the Democrat spin of it on the Daily Show.  :lol:

This was one of the most desperate excuses.  :lol:

Romney has now said 47% comment was completely wrong.

Wrong as in misquoted/misinterpreted or mistaken?

Have you ever gone from 100 ft above sea level to 5000 ft above sea level in a matter of hours? It doesn't just drain you; it almost makes you feel sick.  :x
