Hilarious!

Between the Big Bird Gate and now this Altitude sickness I feel like this must be coming from The Onion. What a mockery.

Because he's never looked that bad, and he does public appearances all the time for which he doesn't have much time to prepare. He was genuinely not himself and I noticed as soon as he was on camera.

Yes. He does public appearances. Yes, he normally uses a teleprompter. However, he isn't in a position of actually having to defend his record/ideas. Without a script, he was screwed.

How about blaming your candidate who thought he was so good and above it all that all he had to do was show up?

Better to be seen dozing at the wheel of a standing vehicle than to crash into something.

Well, I'm an Obama supporter. I buy it. But it was CLIMATE CHANGE, not altitude sickness.

Or something.

Who cares what Al Gore says? This Dem would've voted for McCain against him in 2000 if the Republicans had had the sense to nominate him then. It's possible the Prez is sick - but I'm guessing NOT from altitude sickness. I used to go to Denver for business all the time and never had a problem. They were downtown - it's not like they scaled the highest peak to debate or something.

You cannot make this stuff up!

Then we should test Romney for doping.

Good grief. Is that all he could come up with? Really?

At least he did not blame the weather.

AL GORE: I’m going to say something controversial here. Uh, Obama arrived in Denver at 2 p.m. today, just a few hours before the debate started. Romney did his debate prep, in Denver. When you go to 5,000 feet, and you only have a few hours to adjust, uh — I don’t know, maybe…
