Liberals and the media are attempting to explain President Obama's anemic debate performance by claiming that he was merely "rusty" and out of practice, or he doesn't watch enough MSNBC, or he was consumed by the burdens of the office. Maybe it was all those security briefings he's not attending between the fundraisers and political rallies.
... For the first time, the carefully crafted campaign illusions that the President has constructed were exposed. Mitt Romney had the audacity to describe Mr. Obama's record and his own agenda in ways that the American public has rarely heard. The Obama Matrix collapsed into bits on the Denver stage.
The former Governor sounded reasonable and pragmatic, and some pundits are now claiming that he changed his platform or that he is trying to dump GOP "extremist" ballast. He didn't and he doesn't have any. He described his center-right reforms truthfully.

Excellent Summation of democrats belief in their fictional concept of Romney. Totally shattered WED.

A great nugget quote from this great article. Not a critical thinker in either camps of Obama and the liberal media.
It was the altitude. Al Gore said so. Poor Barack arrived in Denver just hours before the debate.
I couldn’t believe the liberals media meltdown over Obama’s performance. Where is any semblance of dispassionate reporting on news events? These guys are open cheerleaders for Obama, and take it personally and get angry when he doesn’t perform for them.
