Debate Showed Obama Out of His League




It has been over 24 hours since the first debate between President Obama and Governor Mitt Romney and it is amazing to see the total derangement of the American Left.  They are in virtual meltdown.

Chris Matthews, amongst others, went off his rocker, incredulous over how listless Obama was while facing, for the first time, an articulate conservative.   He has never faced an intellectual equal (or superior) in his life.
 
They are also blaming Jim Lehrer for his moderation or, in their view, lack of moderation of the debate.  I thought he did just fine as he let the candidates question each other.  That's a real debate!

Al Gore blamed the altitude of the city of Denver (the "Mile-high City") on Obama's poor performance.

In reality, this was the real Obama we saw in Denver.  He was out of his league back in 2008 and he is out of his league now.    

One thing has been noted during these past 24 hours that makes the most sense is that the media, in their efforts to protect Obama since 2008, did him no favor as he has never been seriously challenged over his policies or his political views.  Obama, and most of the Left, live in bubbles where the only views they hear are ones they agree with.  They don't seek out opposing viewpoints.  They try to censor them.

Take a look at Obama's upbringing.  He was nurtured by Leftists, communists, progressives, and radical ministers.  He really doesn't know anything else.  He is not used to being challenged.

Leftism is emotion-based.  It doesn't matter if a program doesn't work or how much it costs.  It it only the "good intentions" that matter to them.  Facts don't impress them.  Reality doesn't mean anything to them.  They believe in a certain way and that's all they subscribe to.

Leftists see people of the Right as "evil," whereas people of the Right see them as just wrongheaded.   Leftists want to control people's lives to perpetuate their power, conservatives just want to be left alone.

The excuse the Left is promoting is that Romney "lied," yet they don't present any evidence of this.  They believe in their own distortions of Romney's positions.  When faced with the facts, unfiltered by the lapdog Obama mainstream media, they became unglued.  This was the real Romney everyone saw.

When Ronald Reagan performed poorly in his first debate with Walter Mondale in 1984 or when George H. W. Bush performed poorly against Bill Clinton in 1992, conservatives didn't go out in a hysterical panic.  Conservatives, unlike the Left, are not emotion-driven.

Romney's win was an ideological and factual one.  A stark contrast of the two positions of the role of government in people's lives was presented.  Viewers were much more responsive to Romney's view. 

Obama, obviously, just can't handle it.

Gore says Obama lost due to the altitude. It was actually due to global warming.
