DAILY DOOM ANTIDOTE: Ten Things to Know About Denver Debate Last Night � 10/4/2012
I want to hear all about what YOU thought of the debate in comments below, especially anything your coworkers or friends and family say about Barack Obama�s performance today. In short, Mitt Romney did what he needed to do�which was to stand there and look presidential and show people that, yes, watching him for the next four years would be a good thing and would push aside all of the weirdness and malaise we�ve experienced lately. It was very much a Reagan-Carter moment for a lot of people and I know of a few Obama supporters here in Chicago who went on TV and said that after last night�s performance there is no way they are voting for �The One�.

Here are my Top Ten Things to Know About the Denver Debate Last Night:

10. Obama was injected with amphetamines or something before the debate and they wore off about 20 minutes in. Here in Chicago, word on the street for the last month has been that Valerie Jarrett was specifically tasked with getting Obama off coke and other drugs before the debates so that he would not embarrass himself on stage for an hour and a half. So, word is that Obama�s been detoxing since at least September. This explains how haggard he�s looked and how prickly he�s acted for a while now�it�s what addicts look and act like when they�re cut off from their drugs. Remember that a President can have whatever drugs he wants. The Secret Service are not there to keep the president from breaking the law, they are just there to keep him alive. Obama�s main drug suppliers are the junior staffers who work in the White House who go to Lafayette Park and buy him whatever he wants�and he also gets special deliveries from his friend Bobby Titcombe in Hawaii, who brings him �fish and poi� to the White House (that�s Hawaiian slang for �weed and coke�). To get through the almost two hours of being on TV, Obama looks like he needed a big injection of beta-blockers and/or amphetamines. If you noticed at the beginning of the debate he was talking fast, acting erratic, and blinking like CRAZY he was still jazzed up by whatever they gave him. About twenty minutes later, it seems like the adrenaline in his system from being in front of the crowd might have caused the uppers to wear off�and his energy levels collapsed after that. By the end of the debate, Obama looked like he was aching for a new fix. This could be the reason Michelle Obama rushed him off stage and skipped the traditional �let�s waive to the crowd for a while� schtick. She could tell he needed to get out of sight because he totally lost it out there.

9. Obama was rumpled and sloppy and looked like he slept in a halfway house last night. Remember when Chris Matthews used to wax on almost pornographically about Obama�s creased pants and how sharp he looked? That was a long time ago, sister. The man who was out there on stage last night looked like he got his clothes from a consignment shop or the lost and found bin of a discount dry cleaners. He was rumpled and honestly looked like he might smell a little of urine. What on Earth was he doing immediately prior to arriving for the debate? Mitt Romney looked crisp, prepared, and responsible. Barack Obama was a walking mess. It was almost disrespectful to the audience that he showed up looking so disheveled.

8. Obama smirked a lot, behaved like a bratty child at times, and when he wasn�t speaking stared down at the floor like he was thinking �What the heck am I even doing here?�. This was just weird. When he wasn�t talking, Obama would droop his head down like he was napping for a while. Sometimes he would giggle or smirk. When Romney would say something criticizing the bizarre and destructive things that Obama has done as president, he�d smirk or grimace. I didn�t see a president up there as much as I saw a bratty child who was making faces while being scolded by the teacher.
