full title....Obama finally gets in his witty replies to Romney - 48 hours late. Wonder if the TWO teleprompters helped?

Speaking at an event in Fairfax, Virginia, a relaxed and confident President Barack Obama had plenty of witty retorts and quotable sound bites to aim at his challenger Mitt Romney.

The problem was that they came a day and a half after he had been demolished by Romney during the first presidential debate in Denver and were scripted and delivered with the aid of a pair of teleprompters flanking the stage.

‘Now, my opponent, you know, has been trying to do a two-step and reposition and got an extreme makeover,’ Obama, speaking against a backdrop of 150 women of shapes sizes and ethnicities gathered on a stage at George Mason University, said to chuckles.

***At 4:30 in the morning, she sits up in bed and laughs at the joke she heard at the dinner party.***

Sounds like my Mother-in-law. Yes, she was a blond.

They left out the rest of the remarks. Here’s the remainder of the transcript:

“And to Joey Jones, who called me a doodyhead back in second grade, let me just say, I know you are, but what am I?”

“Trickle down government” was the quotable quote of the day and succinctly describes Obama’s four years to a T. Unfortunately it was said by a Republican candidate so it will not be repeated ad nauseum in the MSM as it would have had it been delivered by a Dem candidate.

It’s time for that picture of Zero using teleprompters to address an elementary school class to make its appearance in ads.

So this was Zero’s George Costanza and his “jerk-store-is-running-out-of-you” moment?

Right this sleazy little twit Obama didn’t have the guts to say this crap to Romney’s face. He waits until Romney is unavailable to give it back. That is the sign of a true liar and coward.

Well, I guess that is what slimey little snakes do.

I think in French it is something like l'esprit de les escaliers--the spirit of the staircase (the witty retorts you think of while leaving the house where the party or dinner was held).

Thanks. I think I saw a comic strip once where "the spirit of the staircase" was mentioned--probably a Peanuts strip.
