I am a Dummy!

I was complaining loud and long about Obamas debate performance. Only now in hindsight do I see the strategies brilliance. He let Romney get so overconfident he actually threatened to fire both the moderater and Big Bird on national t.v..
Romneys bullying only reinforced the impression we got of him from the 47% tapes. I owe President Obama an apology. There is such a thing as 11 dimensional chess, and he played it brilliantly.

2. Yikes!

Seems a little harsh, eh?

3. I thought the OP was being sarcastic. Coy. I don't know.

If the OP meant it without sarcasm, I take it back.

4. what sarcasm?

6. Quantess I did not alert on you

and wish someone hadn't. I have read many of your posts, and enjoy them, and think we could have straightened out the misunderstanding.

5. I meant the post in absolute seriousness

... and I fail to see how my little paragraph is "clogging up G.D., or how it merited such a hostile response. Seeing President O responding to Rmoneys lies in his speeches and the wonderful news of the drop in unemployment had me high. Guess some people just love to bust my groove...

7. G.D. is really

"going to the dogs"

8. If you believe he went out and got his ass kicked on purpose…

Then I will be forced to agree with your headline.

You're finding silver linings in the dark cloud but I'm quite sure that looking like a door mat wasn't the strategy.

10. Don't think he got his ass kicked

... someone wiser than me gave a great explanation - "he let Romney be Romney" - Romney tried to come across as a kinder, gentler shark and when O let him run with it, he overstepped his play act and threatened the freaking moderator and Big bird. Followed up with the new job numbers, I think Romney is trying to wash the taste of canvas out of his mouth right about now.

12. Oh, but he did.

We know what the facts are because we closely follow issues but Joe Average saw Romney eating the President for dinner. Joe Average doesn't know anything about anything because he doesn't follow politics. Joe Average just tuned in to the election for the first time and saw the President get beat down like a disobedient sister wife. It doesn't matter if you lie when people don't know the difference.

Perception is reality. Watch the numbers.

9. I'm with you. I think Obama did well. Set Romney up for a rope a dope in the 2nd Round.

I recommended your post in support of our COC and the guy I'm voting for in Nov.

11. I have already double checked my registration

and am set to vote Democratic all the way down the ticket in November here in Pa. Was listening to "Whadda ya know" on NPR today and laughed my ass off when he said "in the news today, Pa. voters no longer have to prove they are related to William Penn"...
