[quote=Anonymous]That he is not as amazing as the media and some on the far left have made him out to be.  He just isn't as great an orator as he was made out to be.  He isn't super sharp with facts on the fly.  He doesn't let things roll off his back like some politicians do--as is evidenced by his body language and facial expressions.

I really think that it is amazing that he has been pumped up the way he has.  Some act like he is smarter, faster and more polished than Bill Clinton and that is just not true.  In fact, it is preposterous.

So, I think the problem for Obama at the debate was that he is not good at debates because they require him to think fast, be calm and cool, be forceful without looking nasty, be calm without looking meek and to have a solid knowledge of a ton of facts that he can quickly recall and easily explain.  That is a super tall order and I think it is tough for anyone but he either doesn't have those qualities OR he did not prepare enough.

I think that as President, he should have a bit more practice dealing with people who disagree with him and being forceful but tactful.  He didn't seem to.  I know the presidency isn't a debate every day but surely when he sits down with foreign leaders, he talks about tough issues---or at least I hope he does.  He just seemed to be totally out of his league on EVERY front from his ability to respond quickly to his ability to be tactful and cool, to his ability to push back on Romney.

Such a disappointment and not really giving me warm and fuzzies about him.  Maybe he is really on an inch deep and a mile wide in his knowledge.  Am I alone in feeling this way?  Were we fooled?[/quote]
