Former Vice President Al Gore floated an interesting theory for President Obama's widely panned debate performance: Denver's thin air.
"Obama arrived in Denver at 2 PM today Just a few hours before the debate started," Gore said Wednesday on his Current TV network.
"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," Gore said.

Gore has never adjustisted to any altitude that’s why he is always in another world - a green world with pink bunnies.
The Obamas look awkward wearing shoes.
There is no doubt that barky appeared somewhat deflated.
Aunt Esther there has both the altitude and the attitude thang going on there. They shoulda let her pinch hit for the Bam, ehehehehe !
Gore might have a point. If someone is an airhead the thinner air would have an effect.
I’ve been to Denver.I’ve also traveled an hour or so west to the top of a 14,000 mountain (Mount Evans).I don’t recall having been reduced to a blithering idiot in either place.
“Aunt Esther” was the first thing that came to MY mind when seeing that photo!
Sorry, Al, or Sorry Al, whichever ...
Obama had the choice of doing debate prep in Denver or going on a family outing to Hoover Dam. He chose the latter.
Fumes from the Earth’s core, which is millions of degrees.
Generally, airliners (including Air Force One) fly with the cabin pressure adjusted to around 6500 ft pressure.
This means Gore is shown again to be an idiot....
I’ve lived in Colorado. The altitude won’t make you a blithering idiot, but if you are a blithering idiot, it certainly won’t help you!
“. . . I don’t know,” Gore said.
The Colorado water, too! If you drink enough of that Colorado water, you’ll have to go to the bathroom.
Beyond pathetic.
Mr. Gore,
Why didn’t the thin air of of the debate location have any effect on Mr. Romney?
Was he standing further down the hill?
As usual, there is an obvious flaw in your theory.
She has terrible posture. And very long arms.
Have not heard about Obama not being able to read off the teleprompters when he goes to that swing state over and over again for fund raisers and campaign appearances.
Thin skin,thin air.
Someones reaching,don’t ya think.
