or a prophetic utterance? http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&ved=0CCkQtwIwAQ&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.realclearpolitics.com%2Fvideo%2F2012%2F10%2F17%2Fobama_says_when_i_was_president_at_debate.html&ei=LOSCUI6bB4KW8gTt2oGICQ&usg=AFQjCNHqOn0yGdhUMZXoi5uT4MjqIopNrA&cad=rja

That doesn't mean a thing, I heard it to, during the "dog and pony show". These so-called debates are just a red carpet event and nothing else. So I would not get excited by Obama's slip.
The debates have no real substance just babble from the two parties. With no other parties involve to give their solution to what ails our country, these so-called debates are just for show and nothing else.

Oh Please!!! bestboy19, I will agree with one thing you stated it gives the talking head something to talk about, but after the debate I still hadn't learnt nothing because it was just the same talking points from the previous debate. Just rehashed fodder.
After two debates I'm still in the dark on these two stooges. Tomorrow debate will decide if I vote for anyone of of these two stooges.
It's just time for fresh ideas and the only way to change this joke of political debates is to allow other third parties if they can get on other states ballots, they should be able to debate the so-called major presidential candidates. Then, I may be able to understand who is the best candidate to vote for, just a "thought"".

If debates are such a waste of time, what more can you learn from a third candidate that you couldn't learn by going to his website?

They give the pandits something to talk about the next day and they also give some who've known nothing about a candidate a better understanding of him.

Considering he's up for re-election this year it's nearly accurate. Running for election really takes away from everything else. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if he's disenfranchised with politics at this point. He came in all gung-ho, but the economy is what is pretty much an inevitable collapse. Sure, it could be prevented but that would require the equivalent of miracles eco-political miracles.

Since the MSM practically tagged him as the Messiah, one would think he could have done something about the economy instead of making it worse. The job must be harder or more demanding than he expected, especially when you're not prepared in the first place.

I think he got a lot of hype because after 200+ years we finally had a president that wasn't a white male. Though skin color is about the only thing that separates him from any other president. The economy was hitting a huge recession when he came into office, my feelings on the rest of his performance aside. I really can't blame him or any president for the economy during their first term.

Ah yes! Those freudian slips can sometimes be downright prophetic!

I'm hoping it is, but I'm not going to hold my breath. I don't want to be too overconfident.

I don't know if it's true or not, but I've heard some say Obama doesn't really want to win.

I wonder if anyone said anything to him about it afterwards.
