At last, Barack Hussein Obama has given Americans something that they can be thankful for. He has given 
them permission to vote against him. At the presidential debate in Denver, Mitt Romney exposed Obama as the shallow fraud that he is. Deprived of his teleprompter and forced to rely on his own wits, Obama showed 70 million Americans that there was nothing behind the façade and the Greek columns. Liberals have trotted out a parade of excuses to explain the performance. Al Gore blamed Denver's mile-high altitude. Obama was suffering from oxygen deprivation. Surely global warming played a role too. I'm pretty sure that Romney was breathing the same air. The two men were only standing a few feet apart and the stage appeared level/Michael Costello, Lewiston Tribune. More here.
Question: Anyone out there who voted for Obama last time who plans to vote against him this time? Or vice versa?
