New Excuse – Obama Musta Had the Flu os Something
The man who went to school with both Barack Obama and Mitt Romney and predicted the president would “smoke” the Republican nominee says he is dumbfounded by Obama’s poor showing in the first debate.
“I’m surprised. I was shocked, actually,” Sidney Barthwell, a district court magistrate in Michigan who attended Cranbrook with Romney and Harvard Law School with Obama, told The Daily. “That was not the Barack Obama I’ve seen through the years. I’m thinking the man might have had the flu or something.”
!snip!
Miss Tamaya, a woman of Santeria, says that someone must have waved a chicken over Obama’s head and given him the stink eye.

“That was not the Barack Obama I’ve seen through the years.”
Yeah, he can hardly function when he’s not all jacked up on coke and choom.

The latest from liberal loons is that Romney had notes. When he wiped his brow with a hankerchief it was actually notes. “Ace” has the details.

In 2008, Obama had a clean slate – there was really nothing McCain (had he been so inclined) could attack him on other than the fact that there was really nothing. Obama was anointed by the press, who protected him (remember the SNL “can I get you a pillow?” sketch?) and he was free to make unfounded claims based upon flawed political philosophies which sounded good to many of the unwashed masses.
Now, Obama has a track record, and that track record is not particularly stellar. The things that Obama blamed on Bush are no better and are now his – high unemployment, economic malaise, continuing military involvement in Afghanistan and Iraq, terrorist threats, etc. Obama is vulnerable in that now people can point to things and say either “you caused that” or “you didn’t fix this,” and the MSM can’t protect him from this type of opinion.
2012 is different because Obama must defend his past four years – he has never had to defend his actions before. Obama did not do well in the last debate because the circumstances have changed, and he is not comfortable having his actual record examined.

There’s 15 years difference in age between Romney and Obama. And this hack attended school with both candidates?

Miss Tamaya, I think Moochelle thought Broccoli could overcome the chicken waving.

It will be interesting to find out who he invites to the whitehouse to help him get his mojo back working again like these quacks think it used to work.

FTA: “It’s possible he doesn’t want to appear to be the angry-black man type,” Barthwell said.
WHAT??? “Angry black man”???
Why is it that “race” is always just bubbling below the surface with these morons?
I don’t know ANYBODY who hates the Won because of his race, except insofar as he uses it to pander to the AA community.
@Wyatt, great points.

He was nervous because it’s harder to lie about what you’ve done in the past than it is to lie about what you’re going to do in the future.

Where else, other than IOTW, can you get breaking political stories sandwiched between stories of a goateed woman and one who eats her own hair?
Come for the political analysis!

Well if this guy thought Obama was awesome at Harvard just how bad was he? Hmm, Harvard Law and a District Court Magistrate eh? That’s what, like a Justice of the Peace? Yep, arguing the big cases is our Sydney.

This is the same BO I’ve experienced since his run against Alan Keyes.
I don’t understand how anyone could be mezmerized, charmed, or enchanted by this snake oil charlatan.
Every time I hear his voice I get diarrhea.
