President Obama just can't let that bad debate go.
During a radio interview this morning, Obama attributed his subpar performance to being "too polite" with Mitt Romney.
President Obama can be accused of being many things. Being too polite isn't one of them. If looking down at your shoes and appearing otherwise irritable is Obama's idea of being polite then I don't think he's going to help himself by being angry. While I suspect he won't adopt a southern accent, demagoguery does not become him whatever his dialect.
Clearly Obama just doesn't get it. He didn't lose the debate on account of being too polite. He lost because he had no energy, could not defend his record in office and, as I argued yesterday,just wasn't intelligent enough to be in the same room with Romney.

While watching the debate, it looked to me as if he thought that his smirks, scoffs, and disinterest were answering for him. Polite? No way. A polite person makes eye contact with the person, keeps a slight smile or straight face, and is interested in the other person's position. I did not see that in the debate. We the people needed to actually hear what was going on in his head when he was making what appeared to me to be smirks and scoffs. We were not enlightened and we decided he lost the debate. You can't win a debate with the things you are thinking....it needs to actually come out of your mouth. Someone needs to tell him this.
