When President Barack Obama stepped off the stage in Denver last week the 60 million Americans watching the 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.

Obummer believes a lot of things that aren’t true.
Obama is a joke and can’t even see his failures right in front of him. This explains a lot.
ROMNEY/RYAN2012
tHIS IS JUST ALLLLL TOOOOO TYPICAL OF HIS ILK.
tHEY ALL HAVE THIS gOD COMPLEX.
HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAH
hE IS A PATHEIC JOKE IF HE WASN’T IN SUCH A POSITION OF BEING
THE BOIL ON THE aS*END OF THE WORLD.
What doesn’;t OBOZO – the anointed one – get ?????
Mitt Romney bet him hands down. If you need a teleprompter to answer all of your questions, you are not that smart. Does he really have a college education ????????? If he does, OBOZO sure is not usiong his head or what ever you call it.
Lee Iacocca Says:
‘Am I the only guy in this country who’s fed up with what’s happening ?
Where the hell is our outrage with this so called president ? We should
be screaming bloody murder ! We’ve got a gang of tax cheating clueless
leftists trying to steer our ship of state right over a cliff, we’ve got
corporate gangsters stealing us blind, and we can’t even run a ridiculous
cash-for-clunkers program without losing $26 billion of the taxpayers’
money, much less build a hybrid car. But instead of getting mad,
everyone sits around and nods their heads when the politicians say,
‘trust me the economy is getting better…’
Better ? You’ve got to be kidding. This is America , not the
damned, ‘Titanic’. I’ll give you a sound bite: ‘Throw all the
Democrats out along with Obama !’
You might think I’m getting senile, that I’ve gone off my rocker, and
maybe I have. But someone has to speak up. I hardly recognize this
country anymore…
The most famous business leaders are not the innovators but the guys in
handcuffs… While we’re fiddling in Afghanistan , Iran is
completing their nuclear bombs and missiles and nobody seems to know what
to do. And the liberal press is waving ‘pom-poms’ instead of asking hard
questions. That’s not the promise of the ‘ America ‘ my parents and
yours traveled across the ocean for… I’ve had enough. How about you ?
I’ll go a step further. You can’t call yourself a patriot if you’re not
outraged. This is a fight I’m ready and willing to have. The
Biggest ‘C’ is Crisis ! (Iacocca elaborates on nine C’s of leadership,
with crisis being the first.)
Leaders are made, not born. Leadership is forged in times of crisis.
It’s easy to sit there with thumb up your butt and talk theory. Or send
someone else’s kids off to war when you’ve never seen a battlefield
yourself. It’s another thing to lead when your world comes tumbling
down.
On September 11, 2001, we needed a strong leader more than any other time
in our history. We needed a steady hand to guide us out of the ashes.
A hell of a mess, so here’s where we stand.
We’re immersed in a bloody war now with no plan for winning and no plan for
leaving. But our soldiers are dying daily.
We’re running the biggest deficit in the history of the world, and it’s
getting worse every day !
We’ve lost the manufacturing edge to Asia , while our once-great
companies are getting slaughtered by health care costs.
Gas prices are going to skyrocket again, and nobody in power has a lucid
plan to open drilling to solve the problem. This country has the
largest oil reserves in the WORLD, and we cannot drill for it because the
politicians have been bought by the flea-hugging environmentalists.
Our schools are in a complete disaster because of the teachers union.
Our borders are like sieves and they want to give all illegals amnesty and
free healthcare.
The middle class is being squeezed to death every day.
These are times that cry out for leadership.
But when you look around, you’ve got to ask: ‘Where have all the
leaders gone ?’ Where are the curious, creative communicators ?
Where are the people of character, courage, conviction, omnipotence,
and common sense ? I may be a sucker for alliteration, but I think
you get the point.
Name me a leader who has a better idea for homeland security than making us
take off our shoes in airports and throw away our shampoo ?
We’ve spent billions of dollars building a huge new bureaucracy, and all
we know how to do is react to things that have already happened.
Everyone’s hunkering down, fingers crossed, hoping the government will
make it better for them. Now, that’s just crazy… Deal with life.
Name me an industry leader who is thinking creatively about how we can
restore our competitive edge in manufacturing. Who would have believed
that there could ever be a time when ‘The Big Three’ referred to Japanese
car companies ? How did this happen, and more important, look what
Obama did about it ! Name me a government leader who can articulate a
plan for paying down the debit, or solving the energy crisis, or
managing the health care problem. The silence is deafening. But
these are the crises that are eating away at our country and milking the
middle class dry.
I have news for the Chicago gangsters in Congress. We didn’t elect you
to turn this country into a losing European Socialist state. What is
everybody so afraid of ? That some bonehead on NBC or CNN news will
call them a name ? Give me a break. Why don’t you guys show some
spine for a change ?
Had Enough ? Hey, I’m not trying to be the voice of gloom and doom
here. I’m trying to light a fire. I’m speaking out because I have
hope – I believe in America . In my lifetime, I’ve had the privilege
of living through some of America ‘s greatest moments. I’ve also
experienced some of our worst crises: The ‘Great Depression,’ ‘World
War II,’ the ‘Korean War,’ the ‘Kennedy Assassination,’ the ‘Vietnam
War,’ the 1970′s oil crisis, and the struggles of recent years since
9/11.
Make your own contribution by sending this to everyone you know and care
about. It’s our country, folks, and it’s our future. Our
future is at stake ! ~~~~ Let’s get the muslim rookie OUT OF THE WHITE
HOUSE !”
Obama is out of touch with reality, anyhow. He’s a narcisstic, egotistic liar. He even believes his own lies and the obvious lies of the lying lamestream media. He lost the debate 100% but he refuses to face the truth. He’s a BIG baby!! And he whines when he doesn’t get his way and punishes innocent people, like the people of America, by raising taxes and so on and so forth. See website: http://www.haasstrep68.com page 1 for destruction of this country.
Obama is delusional and like most people that used drugs for an extended period of time, they lost millions of their brain cells. I suspect that might explain why he might feel that he won the debate, it would also explain why he can’t put three words together that make any sense without his twin Tele-Prompters that he can stare at.
Biden came across as did Obama, they both had that stupid smile plastered all over their faces. They both showed total disrespect and in Obama’s case arrogance and distain for his opponent, Governor Romney.
I have little doubt that governor Romney will come out on top on the next two debates, an idiot that goes to sleep as an idiot wakes up as an idiot each and every morning, there is nothing that Obama can do to change who he is or what he really is which is an Arab Muslim.
If he remains in power, I am absolutely certain that he will come completely out of the closet, especially when he shuts down the Supreme Court, eliminates Congress, and brings in Sharia law.
