Obama 'believed he had BEATEN Romney' in Denver debate - after ignoring advice of top aides....

- Obama believes he'd got the better of Romney as he walked off stage to the dismay of his aides, according to a Democrat close to the campaign - The President failed to prepare properly, opting instead to visit the Hoover Dam the day before the showdown - Democrat claims he was so disdainful of Romney that he didn't think he needed to even engage with him - Had one-liners on 47% prepared but chose not to use them

watching his debate against Mitt Romney already knew it had been a disaster for him.

But what nobody knew, until now, was that Obama believed he had actually won.

In an extraordinary insight into the events leading up to the 90 minute showdown which changed the face of the election, a Democrat close to the Obama campaign today reveals that the President also did not take his debate preparation seriously, ignored the advice of senior aides and ignored one-liners that had been prepared to wound Romney.

Delusional. OK Now I am thinking that like Chavez, Obama will think he has won the election even after he loses in a landslide.

Some people think he has delusions of grandeur.

I think he has delusions of minimal adequacy.

Yeah, the most brilliant man that has ever lived or ever will live. He doesn’t even have a feel for politics once in power.

Unless he’s got an ace up his sleeve (and given his imagined brilliance and his throwing everything but the kitchen sink with no result, I doubt it), he will be shocked at the level of vehemence with which the people of the United States revoke and pass to another, the executive power granted him.

Most arrogant SOB on the face of the earth! Glad he got his clock cleaned.

Did he think Romney would suck up to him and not challenge his woeful record like the MSM? For someone who is supposed to be the “smartest” man in America, he is a fool and proved it to nearly the whole country last week.

If he thought he was ahead he is stupider than I thought he was..I hope he keeps thinking that and preforms just like he did in Colorado when he debates Romney again.. IT doesn’t matter his ignorant followers will vote for him if he murdered someone and they saw him do it..

Obama has a giant ego, he really believes that everyone bends over and kisses his ass..his large ego isn’t all his fault though, this is what happens when you have 90 percent of the media saying how wonderful you are and how you are the best thing since sliced bread. Obama answers to NO ONE in the media because he knows they all adore him..just you watch, if it looks like Obama’s goose is cooked a few days before the election the media will abandon him. The media adores him, but they adore themselves more

Or, like Chavez will actually win even after he loses in a landslide.

Worse than that. He seemed to say at various points that there were 57... or 58... or 59. (I lost track.)

If the guy is going to be wrong, at least he could be consistent. :)

Two comments:

1. Once again, Americans have to get the real news from the Daily Mail. Stories not acceptable to be published in Pravda...I mean, the American media.

2. If 0bama really believed he won that debate, he really doesn’t have any sort of contact with reality.

This matches my own analysis of Obama.

He is an average intellect, and average speaker, who has ben convinced of his own greatness since he was young, due mainly to the adulation and willingness of others to help him advance.

Obama is actually greatly burdened by both his high self-estimation and his left-wing fantasies, to which he clings, despite the fact they never work out in reality.

It is impossible for Obama to prepare for a debate. In order to prepare one has to be challenged during the preparation sessions. This guy’s ego can’t stand it, not one bit, not even in practice. NOBODY, NOBODY dares to question the greatness of his majesty lord Obama, not even his own people in a practice session for a debate.

Oh, and I agree with Obama, he did win the debates. He should just relax and take it easy. Go to the beach, play some golf. No need at all Oh Great and Magnificent Obama to prepare for the next debate.
