.....In short, it means that the liberal media so coddles liberal politicians that they have no idea how to cope outside that liberal media bubble...

Barack Obama has been so totally coddled by the liberal media that he looked absolutely shell-shocked in this debate. Stunned, unhappy, angry, sour--and at some points genuinely incoherent....

It reminds me of how progressives have built their base, one hapless dependent at a time. Obama was the face of his constituency - what the Left wants America to be, "Stunned, unhappy, angry, sour,.... genuinely incoherent," incapable of coping and DEPENDENT on Them.

[Taranto article] But the journalists who are pointing the finger at Obama have three fingers pointed back at themselves. Instead of challenging the president, the press corps--with a few honorable exceptions.....

Okay, okay, let's feel the love for Jake Tapper, the Univision interviewers about "Fast & Furious" (good job, again), and a shout-out to the American Spectator for quoting .... James Taranto.

So, James, WSJ editors -- how about it? How about a shout out to people who had it right all along, like Rush Limbaugh, Mike Savage, and Mark Levin? Michelle Malkin and Mona Charen? What? You don't invite them to your feasting-table? After they brought the broccoli and the veal piccata and laid out the flatware and linens?

Ingrates. Those guys slaved in the trenches and polished your carving knives for four years .... and you can't even say a good word for them in your hour of deliverance.

The truth about the last four years is worth repeating, except I want to say it louder!

The love affair may be hitting the rocks and I have no sympathy for any of the jilted parties.

“”My God, in the four years that we’ve seen him in the White House, I don’t think we’ve ever seen the president so flaccid, so dull-brained, so jejune, so shifty, so downcast.””

Not difficult to understand - he has never been publicly challenged by the unbiased media or the fluffy talk show hosts. Unrestrained, he panders to his supporters and lectures other audiences. Much like what he is doing now. He didn’t have the courage to insult Mitt Romney to his face - so he is spinning his hatred at campaign events. No-one to challenge his lies, lack of dignity and decency.

Journalists were at such a total loss to explain Soetoro’s performance, or lack thereof, that it took the genius of Al “Fat Albert” Gore to find the real culprit — the altitude (it's amazing he didn't say it was AGW). However, leave it to Zero to find the real cause — Mitt Romney — since he couldn't seriously blame George Bush. Is this a new theme?

One thing I heard on the radio today was an interview with a makeup expert. Three things she pointed out were that Romney smudged his makeup by rubbing his upper lip just before he went on stage, Obama was given a dark eyeliner, probably to mask fatigue, and that as the debate kept going, Dumbo's ears got redder and redder.

She gave some excuse about lighting, but I'm betting that if someone had tracked his BP, his stress and fury at being actually questioned without being fed the answers would have been one click short of a anger management episode.

Odd that this wasn't noted...

The liberals and Obama’s radical protectors put him on his own plantatation. He has no idea how to behave or defend himself off of the plantation.

Lefties, you set up a phony, groom him, build his image, protect him, praise and adore him, never question him, never confront him, never criticize him, ...

And then, one day, you have to push him out in the real world and BLAM...

You find out he is still just a phony.

And then you get angry??

The Obama that guys like Matthews and Sullivan expected instead was a character in a fairy tale--a fairy tale written by guys like Matthews and Sullivan.

Brilliant!

I'm curious about the ecard that was scrubbed from the Hussein Obama tumblr page. The campaign is unglued...but I didn't realize it was *this* bad. LOL

Rush made mention of this aberration.

The Weekly Standard has a screen shot of the original.

It amazes me that some people cannot see what an empty suited liar Obama is. We at FR knew it from the beginning.

The Left is truly mentally disturbed.

I bet Obama will execute a wag-the-dog military event just before the next debate and claim he cannot attend because of pressing POTUS duties.

The press will laud him for this - putting Country first.

Same for the last debate.

Good article.

Obama was undone by his own socialist concepts.

Romney’s home is in competition and the free market. He has honed his political skills the same way he honed his business skills - working hard, getting his hands dirty, digging in.

The “coddling” that Obama has experienced is based in socialist ideas. He has been coddled his entire life. The competing in the last election was done for him - he just had to show up. He has never had to compete. In the debate he was exposed for the fraud that he is, just like the poor dependent folks in Katrina who didn’t know how to fend for themselves (”Who’s gonna help me? Where’s the government?”)

I loved this debate. Truth and facts won. I hope we get two more like it.

Almost as hilarious as Obummer’s vacuous debate answers was his post-debate assessment to the brain dead youth in CO yesterday morning. He actually said something to the effect that “the Mitt Romney on stage last night does not want to be held accountable..”

If these true “skulls full of mush” had the power of reason, they would realize that he was pulling the old Alinsky move again, accusing his opponent of something he is guilty of...blaming Bush for all his problems and NEVER being accountable for his disastrous lack of ability.

Jejune - juvenile, immature, also dull or insipid, among others.
