Debate between Obama and Romney

I was flying on an airplane while the debate was going on between Romney and Obama.  I was praying very hard that Romney would do a great job.  As we were driving home we were listening to a liberal talk show and we heard them say that Mitt Romney won the debate.  We were very excited.  It was interesting listening to them talk about some of the sound bites.  I was anxious to listen to it for myself which I did the next morning.  But the most interesting thing was what the media was saying about it all.  Romney definitely won according to the CNN poll that night.  67% for Romney to 25%. Then there were the democrats who were trying to explain why Obama did so badly.

Bill Maher, who donated 1 million to Obama's campaige tweeted after the debate, "i can't believe i'm saying this, but Obama looks like he DOES need a teleprompter."  and he also said "Looked like he took my million and spent it all on weed."

"Where was Obama tonight?!" Chris Mathews cried

Al Gore said on Current TV "I'm going to say something controversial here, Obama arrived in Denver at 2 p.m. today, just a few hours before the debate started. Romney did his debate prep in Denver. When you go to 5,000 feet, and you only have a few hours to adjust, I don't know ..." 

Brit Hume's take on the debate (It is exactly how I thought when I saw the debate)  “This idea that Romney won the debate because Obama basically didn’t show up – I don’t buy that. The Barack Obama I heard on that debate stage was the Barack Obama I’ve been listening to now for four years. He sounded very much like himself. I don’t think he was terribly bad, I think he has a very weak case… The president is saddled with weak circumstances and therefore a weak case. And it is not surprising to me that he didn’t argue it very well. The other thing is, despite this reputation of being this world class orator, well maybe he is with a set piece speech. But there is not much evidence in the past that he was a great debater. So I don’t think this thing was as big a shock as supporters on the left feel. I think they thought he was 10 feet tall. He’s not 10 feet tall. He never has been.“
