I missed it. I was tutoring my 5th grader. I am guessing it’s depression. He didn’t even show up after that first debate when Obama lost so bad.

I was only half watching while I was typing a couple of invoices, but I got the impression he was not happy because no one else thought Obama was anything but rude and acted like he was some reincarnated Roman emperor, and not presidential at all. He’s going to be totally depressed if the trend continues.
