Posted on 10/17/2012 7:32:17 AM PDT by truthandlife

President Obama spoke of being president in the past tense during last night's second presidential debate with Mitt Romney: "The way we're going to create jobs here is not just changing our tax code, but also to double our exports. And we are on pace to double our exports, one of the commitments I made when I was president. That's creating tens of thousands of jobs all across the country."

He got to play President when Valerie Jarrett and Michelle were on vacation at the same time, a few years ago.

Freudian slip. The translation: "My campaign's internal polls have fallen through the floor and I realize now I don't have a snowball's chance in hell of getting re-elected."

Loved that slip! I also believe I heard the lady with the immigration question refer to Romney as President. Did anyone else hear that?

Obama didn’t need to show up at the debate he could have sent in a recording,he keeps repeating the same old bs.

Am I mistaken or did I hear Candy Crowley call Mitt Governor Romley during the first question?

Obama Says “When I Was President” - that has a nice sound to it.

Perhaps, statement made as a result of the Sock-puppet in Chief pretending to be Bill Clinton against John Kerry pretending to be the Mitt Romney Characterture of the left.

In other words, Obama is so practiced at not being responsible and just the ‘runner” for policies it is built in to his “guiltless” fabrication speech pattern.

“Before they put me in prison” sounds even better.

I still would love to have seen Crowbama’s face when she found out her victory dance was her stupid error. Who told her? Had to be a boss after CNN probably got thousands of emails correcting her hubris. No underling would dare bring it up, even if she asked.

Yeah, there’s no doubt he knows he’s not gong to be re-elected based on his own internal polls. It is indeed an interesting slip.
